Hey everyone,
I CANNOT seem to find the pillsbury frosting/brownie mix coupon in the RP from 11/6/11. I have looked through all my inserts and it’s just not there…it’s ruining my whole deal…bummer.
Jenn Scott says
What coupon date insert was there a smuckers topping coupon?

OMW…I obviously STILL did not see that this isn’t jam/jelly…omw:). I was just going by the picture, oops!

Shannon, I apologize if I added to the comments that upset you! Honestly I posted and then saw 2 comments directly previous to mine….I wouldn’t have added to the discouragement had I know! Also I thought that perhaps I should get it on this deal afterall, since (sadly) our freezer jam won’t last til next summer:(. Pb & j sandwiches are a staple in our home! On another note, I plan to price match jiff peanut butter 2for$2 at Walmart this week…and stock up since the price just sky rocketed!!!
I do so greatly appreciate all the hard work and time you put forth here…Thank you…and again, sorry:(
Alexis says

I often buy items that I know I personally will not use for my family, but if I get a great deal on something that I can donate I sure as heck will! Like you said there are so many people in this country right now who don’t have the option to be choosy. They just want to be able to provide the basic necessities that most of us take for granted all too often :)
Geri Brown via Facebook says
Thanks for posting Shannon I am headed off to do this deal now!

Just for the record, I post deals – if you choose not to buy the product it is fine – I use strictly Organic milk because that is what I choose, however, there are people starving in OUR country – there was a mother and her children on the front page of the newspaper who are literally starving. So, while I encourage you to eat healthy, please do not belittle or make comments that make people feel bad who have to feed their children. This really upsets me and I appreciate it if we keep it positive here.
Miranda M says
thank you for saying this, I agree some items may not be the healthiest but on a limited income, I would rather give my child enough food than worry it might not be the healthiest. I would love to be able to afford all organic but unfortunately many can not.
On a side note, my eagle brand condensed milk coupon was only $1/2 :-(
Shannon says
Miranda, Go to Red Plum.com there are $.55/1 printables.
Laura says
Well said, Shannon! :)

Kendra ‘Thomas’ Stoltzfus – There is no jam/jelly/spread in the scenario LOL
Amanda Gilbert via Facebook says
Thanks Shannon! Great deal!
Kendra 'Thomas' Stoltzfus via Facebook says
Call me a jelly snob…but I’ll stick with home made freezer jam! Great price though… :)
Sarah Harrison via Facebook says
yep smuckers is full of that bad stuff….
Heather says
I just love these deals. I have some pillsbury coupons that will make the brownies like ten for a dollar. For that price, I’m rotating the entire stock pile to the food bank, and filling up with new.
Lots of hungry people out there.
