Starbucks Pumpkin Scones Recipe – Yummy!

Food, Recipes

Coupons, Food, Shoppers, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
I made it to Shoppers today.  When I got there the first thing I did was look for the Double Deal Washington Post newspapers which this particular store didn't carry and then off to the ad rack to pick up an ad.  To my surprise was an ad for this promotion spend $25 and get $10 back.  I didn't have all of the coupons with me.  That's a bummer since it was double $1 and triple up to $.50 but I still got some great deals and you can still too since it ends 4/28/10. (I apologize I put the wrong date down earlier.) I bought the following: 11 Healthy Choice All Natural Entriees $1.99 ($1.99-$2.00 is my best price) Healthy Choice Frozen Meals, Any - 03-28-10 SS (Wish I…
