Week 33: August 12-18

So deals have really SUCKED lately. It seems there has been nothing "I" would personally buy on sale, so flyers have been a bit of a drag lately.

My husband and I finally purchased a deep freeze - he plans on going hunting this fall and getting a deer. The 5 cubic/ft freezer was a great deal at the Brick, we paid $212 and then it went on sale the next week for 20% off...so I got $28 back (they have a 90 day price guarantee). For any of you thinking of purchasing appliances there they also have an amazing 5 year warranty. For $60 if your appliance fails in the first 5 years they will give you a new one AND give you $500 towards replacing the food you lost. However, if you don't use the warranty they will give you a $60 credit to purchase something in their store. Its a WIN-WIN situation.

Although the flyers haven't been great I still managed to pick up a few things we needed at half the cost. Here's what I scored in week 33:
