I always have a bunch of coupons I can't use because they are for non kosher products or products that I don't buy, but others die for them. Someone had a bunch of the coke coupons, still before expiration date and not place specific for which I exchanged about triple the number of product coupons that she needed. I didn't care about the numbers because I couldn't use them anyway. We were both happy so that's what counted.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-39453764690955508612009-09-04T14:57:27.439-04:002009-09-04T14:57:27.439-04:00ProfK, would you mind sharing where you found the ...ProfK, would you mind sharing where you found the $0.75 coupons for the soda?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-48546050837747342009-09-04T01:04:44.725-04:002009-09-04T01:04:44.725-04:00another scam are the lower-sugar and lower-calorie...another scam are the lower-sugar and lower-calorie versions of orange juice, grape juice, etc. that are essentially a watered down version of the regular product.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-86504204164601828122009-09-03T23:30:41.266-04:002009-09-03T23:30:41.266-04:00Tuna has been 5 ounces for a while.

Was reading the comments on the posting you linked to and noticed the discussion of the pizza prices. <br /><br />My hubby got in the mood for pizza and I wasn't arguing, having had one of "those" days. He found fresh pizza by the pie at Friedman's Grocery in Brooklyn for $13 a pie. Not saying that's cheap objectively but it sure beats any other prices I've heard about anywhere else. And the pizza tastes good too. Didn't seem to skimp on any of the ingredients. Still not as cheap as the Amnon's frozen 8-slice pie that Shoprite had on sale last week at $8.99 or the price when I make the pizza myself, but still not a bad price for readymade and ready to eat with no effort on my part..ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-35354236944919494052009-09-03T18:12:49.710-04:002009-09-03T18:12:49.710-04:00Anonymous 11:17,

Will adjust the recipe and post it again.<br /><br />Anonymous 12:54--are we talking tuna cans? If so, which brands? And any idea of the price? Seems a little strange that Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea and the supermarket store brands should have gone down to 5 oz. while Costco carries a 7oz. can, unless it's specially produced just for them.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-62144325855559778612009-09-03T16:23:52.412-04:002009-09-03T16:23:52.412-04:00i don't eat tuna fish, but check this out on s...i don't eat tuna fish, but check this out on shrinking gefilte fish:<br /><br />http://agmk.blogspot.com/2008/08/cheap-kosher-pizza-in-brooklyn-for-9.htmlLion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-45419737530820576542009-09-03T15:57:20.274-04:002009-09-03T15:57:20.274-04:00I buy tuna regularly, but did not notice change of...I buy tuna regularly, but did not notice change of can size...

Got rooked on tuna but made money on the soda.<br /><br />Regular price for a 12-pack of cans in one of the markets is $5.35 but on sale yesterday for 4 for $8 plus a free 8-pack of 12 oz. bottles (regularly $3.99). This market also doubles coupons under one dollar. I had coupons for 75 cents off a 12-pack, so $6 came off in coupons. Also 2-liter bottles on sale for 79 cents, limit two. Had 75 cent coupons there too. Paid $1.58 and got $3 in coupons. I believe I paid 58 cents in my money for all that soda. Oh yes, I went in and out of the store 4 times to get the special. $2.32 for sixteen 12-packs, four 8-packs and 8 2-liter bottles.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-59190091966662763852009-09-03T09:43:11.096-04:002009-09-03T09:43:11.096-04:00I noticed that on the tuna cans as well.

Of course, I remember when the standard was 7.25 ounces, so this if not the first time....<br /><br />I actually complained to the soda company when they switched to mostly 1.5 liters for the same price as the 2 liter.<br />The customer service rep tried the "easy grip" garbage line on me as well, to which I responded twofold:<br />1) Show me ONE PERSON to support your claim<br />2) fine and good. You want easy to handle? Then reduce the price when you reduce the size....<br />Of course none of my complaints made a darn bit of difference, but I did get to vent for a moment :)G6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932781801654313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-2847491906398983792009-09-03T09:15:20.840-04:002009-09-03T09:15:20.840-04:00I heard someone on the radio who was making the cl...I heard someone on the radio who was making the claim that the smaller sizes have nothing to do with the economy. His take was that manufacturers are doing consumers a favor in reducing size of products. He said that most people don't know what the recommended portion sizes are and overeat, thereby causing the obesity epidemic everyone likes to claim is there. By reducing package size the manufacturers are helping people not to overeat. You should have heard the phonecalls this guy got in comment. Do manufacturers really think we are all that dumb?!!!!Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-30177457684968186682009-09-03T08:43:34.812-04:002009-09-03T08:43:34.812-04:00We were gone last week so I also went to stock up ...We were gone last week so I also went to stock up on groceries this week. I also bought tuna. Read the post and went to check the cans and you're right! If you put an old can and a new can side by side you can see the difference but it's lots harder if you only look at the new can. Anything else they can shrink so it costs us more money?!Leahlenoreply@blogger.com
