Big Kents Sale is coming soon

As you might know, I'm a big fan of Kents in Roy. Every year the weekend of both LDS General Conferences (April/October), Kents usually does an earlybird sale. I called the store today to make sure this was the case for the upcoming weekend. Well, to my surprise they moved it back one week to April 10th. I guess it makes sense since this weekend is also Easter weekend and a lot of people probably have plans. So......stay tuned for more sale information as I get it!

Kents may be my new Albertsons

I don't know about your circumstances, but we've had the flu at our house. We were told by the doctor, it wasn't the piggy flu, but it was definately the flu (my guess it was the piggy flu - that's what's going around). Anyway, I seriously haven't been shopping in weeks. It hit us at the beginning of October and really took me down (thus - the lack of posts....sorry).

After I started feeling better, I wanted to catch Kents sale this week because of the General Mills cereal sale. I was pretty happy with what I got. Check it out.

1 bag of breadsticks

1 gallon Western Family OJ

2 bottles of Western Family apple cider

18 boxes of General Mills cereal

1 bag of Dirty chips (new brand - wanted to try them out)

3 bags of Don Julio tortillas (great for freezing)

4 cans of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup

15 cans of Swanson beef and chicken broth

2, 6pks of Trix yogurt

6 cans of Spaghettios

6 pears

6 Yoplait yogurts

2 boxes of Betty Crocker fruit snacks

2 boxes Nature Valley granola bars

3 pkgs of Kraft cheese

1 bag of Clover Club chips

I bought 75 items and paid $61.13, thats about $.82 for each item. The bottom of my receipt says I saved $71.96 this shopping trip. Not bad.....you may see more of these shopping trips. Stay tuned

Kents is located in Roy and Brigham City. Here's a link to their online ads. You can also check out PYP for updated grocery lists.

Lookin' for a good cereal sale..... Kents this week!

First I paid $44.00 (give or take some change, they forgot to add 2 cereal coupons $4.00 ea, so I need to go back and get that fixed) and saved, $46.74.

So any of you that know me or have attended one my classes knows that we consume a lot of cereal at my house. Without coupons and sales, there would be no way I could afford to pay $3.00+ for a box of cereal that lasts about one meal (if everyone is having some). I was really greatful for my sister who called last night to tell me about the GM cereal sale at Kents this week. Four for $5 - wahoo!!!!! You need to pick up their ad (located at the customer service desk - in fact they have the cereal coupons already printed and cut for you) to get the deal. First of all $1.25 is a pretty good deal these days even with coupons. If you add coupons from (online, Smartsource or others that you may have it's even a better deal).


Here's what I got.

16 boxes of GM cereal - Yep, I paid $.75/box - ya can't beat that! Now' I don't feel bad sending some boxes to school for my daughters teacher (math project)

If I had paid $3.00 a box, I would have paid a minimum of $48 just in cereal.



2 cans Hunts Spaghetti sauce 2 cans Pam
1 loaf Grandma Sycamore bread
2 bags Hashbrowns
1 Glad Press-n-seal
1 tray of peanut butter bars (can't wait to try these out - reminds me of grade school)

**Sidenote - Kents is considered an Associated Food Store, so I compared Winegars, Maceys and Kents ad (the ads are almost identical - just some slight price variations) to see which store had the best prices. Kents had the best prices on cereal, but there were other things at Winegars and Maceys that were cheaper. You may want to compare and then decide what items you need most before heading out to one particular store.**

I've been to these sales before - you can count on almost every parking stall being full, lots of people, and some long lines, but some great savings! If you're willing to deal with these things you could get some pretty good deals. I've even been to these sales where Kents starts lowering prices (below their posted prices) while I'm shopping. I can't promise this will happen this go around, but they do put on a good sale.
