There are tons of good meat and seafood deals this week - it's stock up time folks!

Lowe’s Foods is rocking the grocery aisles this week with a new set of 3-week coupons in today’s sales ad as well as offering a bunch of good meat deals. Steamfresh veggies are free and Dannon Light and Fit is an excellent deal with the printable coupon!  Did I mention .99 All detergent?!

March is Frozen Food Month so expect lots of great deals on all kinds of frozen foods this month. I always love the free and almost free frozen veggies. Keep an eye out for the Penguin coupon displays in the frozen section that will be showing up in Harris Teeter and Lowe’s very soon.

Lowe’s Foods

March 3 – March 9, 2010
3-week coupons good March 3 – March 23

You can use a manufacturer’s coupon with these store coupons for even better deals! Here are my favorites from the 3-week coupons:

Steamfresh Frozen Veggies, various 10-12 oz. $.97 with coupon - .50 coupon from 2/7 = FREE! (free veggies are always a good thing in my house!) – there was also a .35/1 coupon from last week making each bad .27 after store and manufacturer’s coupon.

Dannon Light and Fit yogurt 3 for .99 with coupon, limit 9 - .75/6 printable coupon doubled = .48 for 6 (.08 each – an excellent price!)

Sargento Cheese, 5-8 oz $1.49 with coupon - .40/2 from 1/31 = $2.18 for 2 ($1.09 each – a very good price for 8 oz cheese these days)

Lowe’s Foods Chunk Cheese 8 oz $1.49 with coupon (a pretty good price – much better than full retail just about anywhere!), Limit 4

Butter quarters, 16 oz $1.77 with coupon (a good price for 1 lb butter), limit 2

Lowe’s Foods thin crust frozen pizza $2.49 with coupon

Sister Shubert’s Rolls $2.49 with coupon - .50 printable coupon = $1.49

Sunny D 48-64 oz .99 with coupon - .25 coupon from 2/7 = .49 each

Meat

Sanderson Farms Chicken Breast $1.97/lb – a good price

Fresh assorted pork chops $1.97/lb

Bottom round roast $1.97/lb (not the most tender of cuts but does pretty well in the crockpot)

Premium ground beef, 93% lean $1.97/lb – a good price for 93% lean FYI - apparently the stores are posting signs that this was a typo in the ad and that it is the 80% on sale for $1.97/lb. Very unfortunate that they are not honoring the price printed in their ad, but I don't buy 80% for my hubby and kids (I don't like ground beef at all) so I will be passing on this deal. Thanks to Karen for the heads up that they have the signs up in the stores about it.

Tennessee Pride sausage 16 oz $1.97

Shady Brook Farms Ground Turkey, 93% lean, 20.8 oz $1.97

Hillshire Farms smoked sausage $2.50 each - $1.00/2 from 1/31 = $ for 2 ($2 each)

The Sargento deal is even better if you have the coupons at .13 per oz.

Click Download Coupon at the Palermo’s link above to get the $1/2 coupon.

Cheemo Pierogies, 18 oz $1.50 each (these are great with pasta sauce and parmesan – very frugal meal) There will probably be a coupon display with a giant penguin in the frozen food section soon with a $1/1 coupon for the Cheemo Pierogies.
