Good deals on Smart Balance butter, Chocolate Chips, and Kraft Naturals Feta cheese 8/8

by megacoolmama
  • So, just in case you were thinking about making either my Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe or the Pea, Broccoli and Feta Pasta Salad  (by Jamie Oliver) that I have posted, here are a couple of recent deals you could score on ingredients in those recipes…

For the cookies:

Home

  • Smart Balance  butter is on sale at SuperTarget for $2.20 a tub.  Also, there is a Target coupon  for $1.25 off 2 Smart Balance butters and a manufacturer coupon for $1 off 2 Smart Balance butters in the July 10 SmartSource  insert.  You could potentially be getting one of the tubs of butter for FREE with these coupons!  Stock up- this butter freezes very well, and you can use it for all of your baking and cooking!
  • Nestle Toll House chocolate chips are on sale at Meijer for $2.19, and there is a manufacturer coupon for $.50 off 2 here.  This makes them come out to be around $1.94 a piece, which is a great deal!  I LOVE the dark chocolate flavor! 

Opens in a new window: Original Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

For the Pea, Broccoli and Feta Pasta Salad:

  • Meijer  also has a good deal going in which you buy 2 Kraft Naturals Feta cheese crumbles and get one FREE!  They are around $3 a piece, but after the deal end up being only about $2 a piece!  Use these in this pasta and also to throw into my Very Vegetable Salad  recipe if you like!

YUM!
