This is new to me. FTC features a store brand of organic/natural items, called Nash Brothers. I noticed in the ad today that you can get organic sandwich cookies for 1.49/package with coupon. So I went to the usual site to print out that one, among others, and it's not there. Upon closer inspection, the listed site is nashbrotherstrading.com, and I did find this high value coupon there, along with some others!
This is really cool to me, not only is FTC the only store locally that features Internet printable coupons for their store brand, they also have printables for their store brand of organics! Currently, they have some coupons for the Italian soda and the granola, both of which are on sale in the ad. The only other one I did print was for the frozen waffles, there is a $1 off coupon that will make these .67 cents! There is some overlap, as some of these coupons are on the usual site too. Just to confuse you.
I was able to print 2 of these coupons for the cookies, and hopefully I can keep them stashed away for baby bribing purposes on the plane next month...

Quick FTC note
I stopped this morning at the Omaha/8th street store, because I wanted to see if they carry brown rice, Westside only had white rice. Score!!! The Omaha store has brown rice, 1lb for .95, so I paid less than $2 for 5lbs!
We recently had my family over for dinner, and my dad thought the rice was white (it was brown); he commented that white rice is poison. Since when is my father a flippin' dietitian? Seriously, I was expecting him to suggest that I could join him for T'ai Chi in the park at 5am the next day, after a light breakfast of miso soup. Weird.

FTC deals 6/20 through 6/26
Thrift has been a good place to stop lately! They are obviously promoting their store brand stuff right now, so check out the in-ad coupon for $3 off any 5 Our Family products. You can't combine this with any of their other coupons, but this will make for some great deals. When I see coupons of this sort of odd value, it helps me to think of it in terms of .60 off/item, must buy 5. Does that make sense?
So based on the ad, here are a few suggestions with this coupon, assuming that you buy 5 items;
• 1lb butter; 1.29 (!!!!!), limit 2
• White or wheat bread; .73 (not sure if this is 100% whole wheat, if so, that would be a great price)
• Chunk light tuna, 5oz; .06/ea
• Mushrooms, 4oz can; better than free, make sure you buy something to eat up the .10 overage per can!
• Sauerkraut, 14oz can; .09/ea
• Graham crackers; .90/box
Don’t let it confuse you that there are several items that show coupon savings at the website. Do the math, and you’ll see that most of them are not valued at .60 off per item or more, so the in-ad coupon is better.
I’m sure there are a bunch more store brand items that will be just about free with this coupon. I don’t usually do “scouting” trips, but I’ll try and spend a little time looking around so I can give you suggestions. One thing I’m not sure about is using more than one per transaction; I don’t see anything that suggests that you can’t use 2 coupons on 10 items, but you could be questioned if you try. I plan to give it a shot tomorrow, I’ll let you know! Regardless, you can certainly do multiple transactions if it’s an issue, but I prefer to just do one and be done.
Just like the dairy coupon, this one is good for 2 weeks, through 7/3, so grab some extras!
Here’s a potential transaction;
2 lbs butter, 2.58
8 jars mushrooms, -.80
Total out of pocket for 10 items, 1.78 +tax! That’s .89/lb butter, and 8 jars mushrooms for free!
Some things I’ll check out; drink mixes (like generic Kool-aid), paper products, and single serve type items.
There are some other good deals there too;
• Kool-aid is 10 for $1, and there is a coupon in today’s paper for $2 off C&H sugar, which I would guess is around 3.50/5lb. I also picked up a peelie coupon in the store a couple of days ago for 2 free packets of Kool-aid if you buy 10, not sure those would work together though.
• Grapes are .99/lb

FTC deals 6/13 through 6/19
As usual, there are a couple of good deals at FTC. I actually don't do much of my shopping there, but there are always one or two things that I stop in for. Our routine is to stop there after story time at the RCPL on Thursdays, while I usually do my weekly shopping trip to Safeway on Sundays. I have no desire to shop at multiple different stores all in one go!
The following are for the store brand;
Eggs are .49/dozen, must buy 2 dozen, with coupon here, that's only 4 cents/egg!
White vinegar is .99/gallon with coupon here, we use a fair amount of this for our dishwasher, which is not aging well. Just pour about 2 cups of it into some container that will stay upright, and then run the machine, empty, no soap. It definitely helps. What is it with my appliances anyway?
There are a couple of manufacturer's coupons in the front flap for canning supplies, and those can be used anywhere, so if you need canning jars, make sure you grab the ad. Cauliflower is 2.50/head, which isn't bad, I hate it when they price it by the pound!

FTC deals 6/6 through 6/12
There were a couple of sales this week at Thrift Center that I am excited about. All of the following are for the store brand.
Sugar, 4lb; 1.39 with coupon here
Canned veg, 6 cans for 1.50 with coupon here
1 gallon ice cream; 1.50 each, limit 2, will combine with one other dairy item in order to use $2 coupon off 3 items (from last weeks ad)
It seems like there was one other thing that I can't seem to remember now....
I liked that they are advising us of which sale items can be combined with their store coupons for even better savings, though I did find some of the wording was confusing, like on the canned veg.

FTC dairy coupon reminder!
Don't forget to grab some extra copies of the ad by Saturday, so that you can take advantage of the dairy coupon that is good through 6/12/10! Not sure if there will be any more super good sales to pair it with, but better safe than sorry. When I ran in today for yet another batch of cheese, I got a game piece that was a $1 instant winner, so that was fun! Are you playing the game? I find it really annoying messing with all those little bits of paper, but maybe it will make me a millionaire...

Holy Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheese is one of those things that I lay awake at night worrying about; do we have enough? Is it on sale anywhere? So I was super pumped to see a sale at FTC this week for block or shredded, 8oz at .99/ea, which you can combine with the in-ad coupon for $2 off any 3 FTC dairy products! 1 1/2 pounds of cheese for .97, I'm on my way right now!
The coupon is on the inside front flap thing, and you better believe I will be picking up some more copies of the ad when I get to the store.
Edited:
The potential for this coupons is just starting to sink in. I ran in this morning to grab 3 blocks of cheese, for which I paid $1.15 with tax, and grabbed a few more copies of the ad, and it occurred to me after I left that this will make a great deal on milk too. I think the store brand milk is $2.50/gallon, so $5.50/3 gallons! I'm still stocked from the Wags sale that ended Saturday, but I'll be loading up on this at the end of the week. The Our Family yogurt is a dairy product too, so you could use that as a filler, for example;
2 8oz cheese at .99
1 yogurt at .40
minus $2 coupon equals .38 + tax!
2 gallons milk at 2.49
1 yogurt at .40
minus $2 coupon equals 3.38 + tax!
This coupon has serious potential! I'm going to make room in the freezer!
