The Daily Digest for Wednesday, 1/20

Posted on by Amy

This post may contain affiliate links.  If you click on one of my links, I may receive a small compensation at no cost to you. Thank you for supporting The Penny Pantry! Read My Disclosure Policy

Update 11/01: 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!

Daily Digest for Monday, 1/18

Weekend Wrap-Up Fri, Sat. & Sun. 1/15-1/17

  1. Amazon: Subscribe & Save – Wondering what it’s all about? Here’s a great guide with a short video. You can save up to 15% on your products.
  2. Amazon: WOW! Big Discount on this Cuisinart FP-8SV Elemental 8 Cup Food Processor, Silver. I love my Cuisinart Food Processor!
  3. Amazon: Good deal on these Soon Ramen Cups again, 6 ct. Certified by Vegan Society.
  4. Amazon: 🌱Deal of the Day on Protein Powders + Bars: Vega, Garden of Life, Amazing Grass + More! Ends Sunday night.
  5. Amazon: I’m seeing a 40% off Subscribe & Save Coupon for these, offers do vary by acct. Can cancel anytime. If you don’t see it, try looking on your desktop, or even a different Prime acct. at your household. Even without the discount, this may be a good price for you. Pirate’s Booty Veggie Sticks, Sea Salt Flavor Healthy Kids Snacks, 5oz Grocery Sized Bags (Pack of 6)
  6. Amazon: 20% off coupon to clip on these Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Gel Soap, Free & Clear, 42 oz, Pack of 6. Make sure “one time purchase” is clipped or the coupon won’t come up. (Not a S&S coupon).
  7. Amazon: Small discount on these Amazon Basics Silicone, Non-Stick, Silicone Baking Mat – Pack of 2. I love these silicone mats! They are especially useful (magical!) for oil-free baking. Daugter does more traditional baking with vegan butter and they’re great for that, too! We have 4, and dedicated half to savory and half to sweet. No garlic cookies that way! 🙂
  8. Amazon: This is included in the “30% off and more” grocery sale. Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Lower Sugar Maple and Brown Sugar, Individual Packets, 48 Count.
  9. Amazon: Heart Pretzels, love these! I haven’t seen these before. This is a large quantity, I’ll look out for smaller ones too. Share the order with a few friends? Rold Gold Heartzels Heart-Shaped Pretzels, 0.7 Ounce (Pack of 104). 3 left!

My daughter tried this for bathing suits, and it was handy. How it works: You can order up to 8 items to “try on” and you only pay for what you keep. The return process is super easy, too.
  14. Amazon: You can make your own “conversation” hearts with these molds. Many conversation hearts are not vegan due to gelatin, egg whites and/or confectioners’ glaze.
  15. Amazon: A frugal alternative to Vegan Valentine Chocolate is to make your own. You can use any vegan chocolate chips, melt in the microwave. Pour in the molds, let set and that’s it!

  43. Social Nature: You can “apply to try” for a FREE Back to the Roots Lavender Windowsill Planter. This is the same platform where I’ve shared many free items I’ve received for groceries. In return, they ask you review the product.
  44. We have thru Tuesday on our Weekly Grocery Deals. If you’re making a shopping list, be sure to check for these great deals 1st! Hopefully, you have some of the same stores I have in my area in N. California. I really am happy to look at your store flyers and come up with some deals for you, just let me know! I’ve been shopping with very specific strategies for 20+ years, and love to find the BEST deals. ❤
  45. We’re only expecting two coupons for vegan groceries in the Sunday Newspaper, so I’ve added them to last week’s list.
  46. With all our new members, I wanted to share again the Saving Strategies I’ve learned over the past 20 years. This is a quick list of how I was able to save 90% on my groceries. The #1 strategy that has saved me the most is really getting a feel for prices with a Price Book or List:
  47. 📌I do ONE thing automatically before I buy ANY grocery item. My family members do this, too! What is it? I ask myself, “Is that the best price?” And not just for that week, or month. But the BEST price you know an item will come up for. Keeping a Price Book really opened my eyes to the reality of paying much less for my groceries. It took some time at 1st, but it was enjoyable to see how much money I could save! I rarely need to look at it anymore, as over time it has become 2nd nature.
  48. 🍎My highest “buy price” for most fruits & vegetables is $.99/lb. The same apples you buy this week for $.99/lb. may be $3.99/lb. next week! And, the sales run in cycles so that $.99/lb. will come up again soon.
  49. The $2 Impossible Whopper will be available again at BK this Wed. Details on how to redeem offers in my post here:

Holidays:


We are starting to see some of our yearly sales on baking items. The best price I’ve found for baking items is usually in bulk large 25 lb. bags. My local Warehouse store, Smart Foodservice is where I tend to get the best price per lb. However, this time of year, flour, sugar and more will be on sale in regular stores, too. Sometimes this will beat my Warehouse store prices.
