- Don on Facebook reports: “RE: 1/19 Readers Deals Conversation several of us had about Menards dog food / Diamond dog food. I am just back from Menards and after educating myself with that conversation including a nutritionist / behavioral dog trainer that so generously gave of her time and expertise on here I am pretty happy with my purchase. This week and I believe also next week – they are having the 11% rebate on everything in store, combining that with a $5/$50 Menards coupon yields this deal. Buy (2) 40 lb bags Blue Diamond Natural Chicken / Rice , no soy no corn no wheat for $28.99 and use $5/$50 coupon and submit the 11% rebate makes them 2/$47 or $23.50 each….. I will be going back for more this week. At nearly just 50 cents per pound this to me is a stock up price.”

I saw the sign on the drive-thru at Sonic that they use Vienna Beef.
RE: Don and the Menard’s deal on the Diamond Dog Food. Great idea to use the $5/$50 – that is a great price! It is about the same as the wholesale price! Thanks for pointing it out!
Kay, glad that helped…. see ya there as I make it my 2nd home stocking up this week
BTW – another great deal – this on TBONZ `10 oz. bag treats are $2.39, use either $4/4 or the new $1/1 cpn in 1/27 cpns and after 11% and worked into the $5/50 – get them for $1 each these are 10 oz and my dogs love them.
Don, gotta part ways on the T-bones…..no food in those – all chemicals, artificial stuff and preservatives.
Hmmmmm, next search, now that I found the right dog food, are healthy yummy snacks for them at a decent price…… any suggestions and Thank You for that heads up, I was afraid of yet wanting to know your thoughts on these….
On the shoe organizer deal: I am using one in my pantry for all the small stuff like sauce packets, cereal bars, etc. and I love it.
Beta, try Freecycle, you can usually get most baby stuff for free, or Craigslist free or little $$ for used….
Beta, I got my stroller on ebay for more than half off from a liquidator.
FYI- I am also selling a bunch of baby stuff. My little one is already 9 months old.
Did everyone enjoy their free Jet’s Pizza slice on Saturday?
Not me, spent all day scouring the Walgreens looking for the chips deal
Beta, I have an infant to toddler car seat for sale. Front and rear facing. Its listed on craigslist. I’m selling for $20. Has a little wear in the front other than that perfect condition. Non Smoker.
Does anyone use OWC.net for their DSL? I’ve Googled them, but, not much available on how the DSL service is, which may be a good thing, but, I’m not sure. AT&T just raised my monthly rate by $15, so, I’m looking around for new service.
Help,
Where is the $5/50 Menards coupon ? Thank you…
It was in calendars that were in subscription copies of the Trib about a month back.
