A variety of health coupons (GUD, Burt's Bees, Larabar, Truvia, Popcorn, Indiana, etc etc)

A few random coupons

I have been experimenting with a grain free diet. I made a promise to go 30 days.
Today is Day 17.
Perhaps I am weak-- but I have to admit I HATE IT.
Every minute of it!
That said--- I have been on Pinterest looking for tasty grain free recipes.
A few required Almond Milk.
So I was scouting for an Almond Milk coupon when I stumbled upon these.
I thought you might like them.
Still looking for the Almond Milk one......

Melinda tries a Larabar

One of the gems of the Safeway Just 4 U program is the FREE products they sneak into your Personalized Price lists. They don't announce it with fanfaire and neon lights, they just sneak it into the middle of your list and see if you catch it.

Last week I saw I had both a Coke Zero and a Larabar for free. And since they are food items-- you don't even have to pay taxes. Wahoo! I love when they do this because it allows me to try something I would never have spent money on. And who knows, maybe I'll find my new favorite.

I found the Larabars near the Vitamins. I thought they would be in the health food section, but it was near the protein bars and atkins diet bars.

The label read Larabar The Original Fruit and Nut Food Bar
Fruit and Nuts? What? There has got to be some chocolate somewhere.
Aw yes. Cookie Dough. That will work.

The next day I found myself itching for a snack between meals and thought it would be a perfect time to try my new product. I ripped open the wrapping. I admit, I was a little surprised by it's appearance. It looked alot like fruit and nuts.

I took a bite.

Chocolate. Check. Cookie Dough. Check.

Fruit and Nuts? Also Check.

My mouth was so full of competing flavors I didn't even know what to think. Who puts fruit in a chocolate chip cookie? Despite the fact that I really had no idea if I was intrigued or repulsed I took another bite. The texture was good. Not grainy or powdery like some of the other health bars. It was smooth and chewy with the nuts and chips providing a nice contrast. However- I have to say the mash up of a fruit and nut bar with a chocolate cookie dough bar is strange and a little alarming. It's like Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.  A small part of you is surprised and delighted and hopes for the best. But deep down, you know it's plain wrong.

Safeway Just 4 U and FREE Larabar

I got my weekly email from Safeway this morning and my Just 4 U has a free Larabar coupon inside. Sweet.  I love when they do this because it gives me a chance to try a product I normally would not buy. Who knows-- maybe it's my new favorite.
If you haven't already, sign up for the Just 4 U program at Safeway.com. You'll get a FREE dozen eggs just for signing up. Then each week you can go through their coupon list and load the coupons directly onto your Safeway Rewards card. They have 2 sections for coupons-- the first is manufacturer's coupons. These can not be combined with paper coupons. The second section is personalized deals just for you. I have found some true gems in there and when combined with paper coupons, I've been able to get All Natural Peanut Butter for .37 and Barbara's cereal for under $1.50, for example. The 3rd section is a list of all the items on sale at your local Safeway. It's always good to check these prices, you might have a coupon to match up with something that turns into quite a bargain.

Many people feel Safeway is very expensive. And it's true-- if -- you don't shop the sales and use your coupons. If you shop the opportunities, you will find you spend more and more time at Safeway. Unless you live near a Winco and then I am just jealous. I purchase about 70% of my groceries at Safeway. I go to Raleys / Nob Hill about 20% of the time when they have items I really want on sale or have enticing coupons (they issue new online coupons every Wednesday). The last 10% of my grocery shopping is spread out between The Grocery Outlet, Target, and Lucky.  I only go to those stores when they have an advertised special I simply can't pass up.
