Cream Cheese Deal

At Scolari’s on the Ziploc holiday display at the front of the store there are tearpads with coupons and recipes on them.

The coupon reads, “$1.25 off when you buy any THREE (3) participating KRAFT dessert products,” and displays pictures of Jell-o, Baker’s chocolate, and Philadelphia cream cheese.

You’ll want to pick up a few of these so you can score some inexpensive cream cheese.

Here’s what I’m planning on doing:

The Philadelphia cream cheese is $0.98 this week (11/18-11/26) at Sak ‘N Save. I’m going to price match that at Wal-Mart, buy three, and use my $1.25 coupon. Here’s the breakdown:

(3) Philadelphia cream cheese at $0.98 = $2.94
$1.25 tearpad coupon
Final price: $1.69 for three…$0.56 each!

While cream cheese does not freeze well, it does keep for long after the expiration date if still sealed closed. Be sure to check the dates on the ones you're planning on buying too.

I don’t know how much the Jell-o or Baker’s chocolate is at Wal-Mart. If anyone finds out, please leave a comment letting us know. There are no size requirements so I’m thinking this could be a great coupon for the small Jell-o too.
