Several local stores have items you can get for free this week, so I thought I’d share how to combine the sales for a free update: nearly freemeal from these items (plus add a few sides):

The menu? Piccolini pasta with tomato sauce, with cornbread muffins. Here’s how:

Publix:

• Pick up a Thanksgiving Savings booklet at Publix (yellow cover, good through Dec 5), and find the “$5 off your order when you buy 10″ of the specific items listed (including Martha White corn bread mix (7.5 oz. BOX, not packet), at y.5 size).  The price is 2/$.99, so after the coupon, it is free!  (Additionally, if you have coupons from the 11/9 Red Plum insert, you will receive overaged!) (Through Dec 5)
• Use $1 off any Muir Glen product coupon on $.85 tomato paste, to get it for FREE + overage–just make sure you buy something else to use your overage on! (Indefinitely)

Ingles

• Barilla piccolini pasta is on sale $5/5 (you don’t have to buy 5).  This $1/3 coupon makes it FREE Update: Coupon is no longer printing $1/1 coupons (Through Nov 25)

Obviously, you’ll have to add some sides (and meat, if the tomato sauce alone is a bit “spartan” for you), but there’s a starter to an inexpensive meal!

Additionally, you can get free Chex mix at Walgreens through Saturday.  It’s on sale for 99 cents, and it will be free if you use this $1/1 coupon*.

*If coupons do not print, try switching internet browsers.

HT: to Kasey, for the Barilla pasta deal and the Walgreens $1 off coupon!

Walgreen’s has another $5 off $20 purchase coupon!  Go here to print yours!

Also this week, Walgreens has Clabber Girl baking powder and cornstarch on sale for $0.50 each. If you pick up newspaper coupon inserts (I found some in the trash :), and got another delivered in my weekly fliers…for free!), you should have received a $1/2 coupon in their 11/09 RedPlum insert which would make these free! (HT: MoneySavingMom.com)

Although the total after all other coupons must come to $20 (thus, you must pay $15), there are some super deals this week that can help stretch your dollar and stock up your pantry:
