Have you tried a Co-Op?

I did this week, and I love it. I am going to be doing this every month.

Here is what a Co-Op is just in case you do not know.

IT’S A SIMPLE IDEA, REALLY – provide quality, healthy food at a substantial savings through cooperative purchasing; and build a sense of community by bringing people together and promoting volunteer service.

The Community Food Co-op is for EVERYONE. Whether you are struggling to meet your basic food needs or are just looking for a way to share in community, you can be part of this simple exchange: giving and receiving.


I bought the standard share that included this month;
1 lb Lean Ground Beef
2 lbs Chicken Drumsticks
2 lbs. Beef Chuck Roast
1 lb Diced Pork Cubes
6 Oranges
4 Apples
1 Broccoli
3 Red Bell Peppers
4 Tomatoes
1-8oz Mushrooms
1 5-lb bag Russet Potatoes
Stone Ground's Artisan Wheat Loaf
16 oz Brown Rice
****ALL OF THIS FOR $23.00****
All the vegetables we have eaten so far have ben great and the meat looked good.

I added on a harvest share that included
7 Oranges
8 Pears
6 Apples
1 Broccoli
3 Red Bell Peppers
4 Tomatoes
1 8-oz Mushroom
1 5-lb bag Russet Potatoes
1 Asparagus
Stone Ground's Artisan Wheat Loaf
16 oz Brown Rice
***ALL OF THIS FOR $14.00***

Here is the link to the Co-Op.

6 Wii games for $30.00

There is a great deal at Target right now on vide games, here is how it works.

The majority of there video games priced 14.99-49.99 are on sale for buy two get one free.

To make this easier to understand let's say we are buying games at 14.99.

Here is a link to Target for $10.00 off 2 Wii games it was on page 5 when i printed it.  You can only print 2 coupons per computer.  I had a friend print one extra coupon for me, so I had 3 coupons total.  Thanks PYP for the Target link.

Here is a possible scenario

Buy 6 games at 14.99 each = 90.00
Target's promotion buy 2 games get 1 free
I bought 6 so I get 2 games free  $90-$30=$60.00
I have 3 coupon for $10.00 off if I buy 2 games $60-$30=$30.00
So for total 6 games for 30.00

What I personally did was 3 games for 49.99, plus 3 games for 14.99 my total was 106.00 with tax.

Leave a post if you pull off this great deal.
