Around the town with Frugal Fairhope 9/18
Frances | September 18, 2011
Our first stop in PetSmart was to find the manager to get approval for 10 bags in one transaction. We absolutely adore the PetSmart at Malbis they are nice, fully stocked inventory, and they don’t have a problem with the use of coupons (they encourage it). The $5 Authority coupon does not limit the customer but does have a limit of one per transaction; do 10 transactions? Nope, the manager said that it was fine and she was happy to see me come into the store from Fairhope.
10 Authority Dry Cat Food 4lb $5.99 (sale until 9/24)
20 Cans Authority Cat Food Free (coupon in store)
-Used 10 $5 printable
Final Price: $9.90 for all or $.33 each
In normal Frugal Fairhope fashion we left plenty on the shelf, bags, cans and the free coupons. We decided not to wait on this deal for the 15% off coupon (we talked about yesterday), we may go back for another round on the 22nd. It has been our experience to stockpile cat or dog food when we, the deals are very hard to find.
Remember not to use the Facebook coupon, it has a minimum of 8lb bag, you want the 4lb for this deal.
We found the Toy Story 3 Operation game in good stock at the Fairhope Walmart store this morning. According to Walmart’s coupon policy you do not have to have the ad in your hands to get the price match. The Fairhope store keeps a binder of store circulars at the end of the middle isle. The discount was so large the cashier had to pull the binder. Should have seen the cashier’s eyes and then looking at her watch to see how long until her break. 
Toy Story Operation Game $5 Price Matched to Big Lots ad
-$4 printable
Final Price: $1
We also found that the Fairhope Walmart store has started stocking the 1lb boxes of Purina One Beyond for $2.57. We personally don’t like getting cash (overage) out of the register so we purchased the Whisker Lickin’s cat treats to take the overage and to add to our cat food stockpile. As we have mentioned before we mix in the treats with the cat food.
2 Purina One Beyond 1lb $2.57

14 Whisker Likin’s cat treats $1.07

We have been thinking about this for a while and have done a little research but we have not been able to find a homemade pet food recipe that doesn’t involve buying expensive ingredients. This would be a great alternative to buying and storing bags and cans of cat and dog food.
