Dominicks: 30 Powerade and some Broccoli for just $2.20!!


This post is for my friend Deb who asked why I don't post pictures anymore! :)

Powerade is part of the Buy 8 or more and get .50 off each item (I think this ends today because they are in the sale ad starting tomorrow for .59). I had Powerade on my Just For You for .73, minus the .50 each made them just .23 a piece. In the Save $100 Jewel coupon booklet that came in the paper the few weeks ago there is a $3 off 10 Powerade coupon...which made them FREE plus $2.40 overage so I picked up 2 bags of Broccoli for $1.79 each. Grand total after coupon and tax - $2.20 (97% savings of $58.20!)

Light up your child´s face with a home-baked treat that can be a perfect snack any time of the day. Betty Crocker® Fun da-middles™ are the first boxed-cupcake mix of its kind that will leave you pleasantly surprised with their sweet center!

Available in three delicious flavors, Vanilla Cake with Creamy Chocolate Filling, Chocolate Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, and Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Filling, Fun da-middles cupcakes are a fun and portable treat that children can take everywhere they go!
