The Daily Digest for Monday, 9/20

The Daily Digest for Monday: Safeway Sneak Peeks, More Target & Sprouts Deals, Halloween Candy Deal at Target Tomorrow, Amazon Deals + Much More for Less!

You can check out previous Daily Digests too, I keep a week’s worth of deals here.

I’ve changed the format of this a bit to make it easier for you to QUICKLY see the NEWEST Deals for the day (or Weekend Wrap-Ups.) I was struggling with how best to keep some of the previous deals around that were still good, without making it cumbersome to find that day’s New Deals. It seemed a shame to just delete some of the deals after a day that were still really good and long-term. But, I also want you to be able to quickly check on the newest ones, too! So, deals from the SAME day (or weekend wrap-up for 3-days) will be at the very top. Deals that you may want to reference later will follow.

In my Penny Pantry Facebook Group, I post many deals & info. throughout the day including freebies, deal updates & changes, Amazon Deals, meals & recipes, food discounts I run across + more! Some are more timely than others: the Amazon Warehouse Deals tend to come and go quickly, so Facebook is a good platform for me to let you know about those deals quickly.

Posts here on my website take longer to write and deliver, so I primarily use it for Weekly Grocery Deals, and other deals I think you may want to reference later. But, I’d like to bridge that gap as not everyone is on Facebook. Plus, it may be nice to have the Daily Deals together, as the Facebook feeds don’t run exclusively chronologically.

So, I’ll try this out and see how it goes! Please let me know if you think this will be useful as a companion to my Facebook posts. And, if you’re on Facebook and haven’t joined our group yet, I hope you will join and become part of our active, supportive vegan community! <3 Amy

Note on photos: Some may be illustrative of a product, but not the actual product. For example, I may use a general photo of apples I took to report on a sale on apples.

Happy Saving!

NEW Deals – Quick List!

The Daily Digest for Monday, 9/20

• Target: 30% off Halloween Candy Deal is happening tomorrow!

• Target: The BIG Deal this week is the Circle Event. I’ve included many in my Target Weekly Post on my website, but there are literally 100’s of deals. You can look thru the regular Circle area to see them all, but this front page has a really good overview. I feel it’s a more efficient way to find interest based items.
• Target: $5 off $15 Siete Products Circle Offer! Includes cashew dips, chips + more! Can do deal in-store or online here. Just be sure to clip that Circle offer to get your $5 off:
• Target: We fell in love with these birds last year! It seems there are several for each season/holiday. Only $5 ea., can order online:
• Target: Chobani Oatmilk – New 30% off Circle, good thru 10/30! Pay as low as $1.15 with a stack. Details in my post here
• Target: Jack & Annie’s Just $1.24 ea.! I added a deal idea to my Weekly List, details here under Refrigerated/Frozen. These are made form jackfruit, and I’ve heard good reviews from several members. I’ll be trying it myself at this price!
• Sprouts: Jack & Annie’s products just $2.24 ea.! Stack a $1 app coupon with an $2.75 Ibotta. I’ll add this to our Weekly Deals, see lots more Sprouts Deals in my Weekly Post.
• Safeway Sneak Peek – Starts Wed.! Breyer’s Ice Cream will be $2.49 ea. with an app coupon, if you also have a $1/1 app coupon, pay just $1.49 ea.! Look for all my NEW Weekly Grocery Posts tomorrow on my website.
• We still have a couple of days to take advantage of last week’s stand out grocery deals – from $.25 Avocados to $.99 Kale, FREE Chobani Oatmilk + even more FREE Items! Whether you are looking for strictly WFPB or broader Vegan Deals (or somewhere in-between), save some serious greens this week on your shopping list!
• Deals are more rare on items like rice, beans, other grains, etc. Does this mean we can’t save as much? Actually, this is the easiest area to save money, as the best bulk prices don’t fluctuate much. Here’s how I shop and save for grains, beans, oats, flours:

• Outlet Deal on Pet Halloween Costume Set, 2 Piece Vampire Cloak Wizard Hat. That expression!
• LOTS of New items in the Amazon Kitchen Outlet! Looks like someone was busy last night loading it up with new deals. You can take a look here:
• Great Outlet Deal on these Silicone ice Cube Trays! Even though I have an ice maker, I still use these to freeze pesto, herbs, etc. and tomato paste I buy in bulk. Also great for baby food!
• Monday Deal of the Day includes various drinks, snacks, nuts, etc. I spotted many vegan products, but a lot aren’t so please check ingredients carefully! You can see the entire sale HERE:
• Also included in the Deal of the Day. Ends Tonight! Evolve Plant Based Protein Shake, Vanilla Bean, 20g Vegan Protein, Dairy Free, No Artificial Sweeteners, Non-GMO, 10g Fiber, 11 fl oz, (12 Pack).
• Included in the Deal of the Day I shared earlier: Tostitos Medium Chunky Salsa, 4 Count, 15.5 oz Jars.
• Limited Time Deal on Oregon Farm Fresh Snacks 24 oz Organic Raw Pumpkin Seeds.
• In Today’s Deals: LOTS of products included! I think they’re all vegan/cruelty-free, but they will be marked. Haus Laboratories Makeup by Lady Gaga.

• Safeway: More stuff I spotted today – Not shown are Boca Burgers that were on sale $3.99 and we have a $1 Ibotta, lots of veggie meats clearance at my local store. I also had a $1 Gardein app coupon saved (sales on those but not pictured), Morningstar clearance too and got lucky with peelie coupons.

Online Groceries

• Chef’Store Warehouse: We tried out Pickup Ordering yesterday. The minimum order is $150, so we stocked up on Torani coffee syrups. These are half the price of Safeway, my local store sells bottles that are half this size for the same price! These large bottles are $5.19 ea. I also got 25 lb. bags of pinto and black beans. It was not easy for me to get to $150, I got a lot! I always shop for the ” lowest price” that I’ve determined with my Price Book.
• Our Chef’Store Warehouse has Vevan Cheese! They also had shreds, and mozzarella. You can shop in-store, do Order Pickup on their website, or get delivery via Instacart or Shipt.

Halloween & Fall Stuff

• I spotted these vegan Fall creamers and coffees at Target, but other stores will also have these and more. Last year, we found some amazing deals at Grocery Outlet on vegan holiday creamers!

• Target: Deets on the upcoming fantastic Halloween Candy Deal – ONE Day Only! On Tuesday, we’ll have a Circle Offer for 30% off Halloween Candy priced at $9.99 and $15.99. Our large bags of Sour Patch/Swedish Fish encompass these price points. These 100 ct. bags will be just $6.99 after the Circle, and the 180 ct. ones will be $11.19! We got these bags last year on a similar deal, such a great deal! Trick-or-Treating may look different in your neighborhood due to COVID, last year many of our neighbors set candy out for kids to help themselves. A couple of creative ones even had a socially distanced “launch”. Tuesday is the day for this deal, and I’ll post reminders. Can order online, too. If you don’t have Circle yet, I think there’s still a $5 FREE when you sign up initially.

Likely they’re all cruelty-free, but that doesn’t guarantee vegan FYI, so check ingredients.
• Great Outlet Deal on Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Plastic Chopping Board Set of 4 with Non-Slip Feet.
• Soy Curls anyone? We love these, but they are pricey and something we only get once in a while. I was thinking of making taquitos in bulk, and thought of using these. The multi packs go down in price per bag, I will likely get the three or six pack. You can also order these on the Butler website, shipping is extra there so take that into account.
• These may be a better price per cup than your local stores. Starbucks K Cup Coffee Pods — Light Roast Coffee — Pumpkin Spice — Fall Limited Edition — 6 boxes (60 pods total).
