Best $25 plan for the week? rainbow

[Esthermo]

I'm trying to get back in the game after about two months of just getting what I need or what is a great deal. I'm going through the Rainbow ad for this week and see some great things, but can't seem to put them together in the best manner. This is what I see so far, anyone care to ad what they are thinking of getting or any ideas on the best way to do doubles this week?

Green Gaint Steamers $.88, -$1/1 IP and insert=2/$.24 overage
Green grapes $.99, 2lbs/$1.98
10lb potatoes $2.49
1lb baby carrots $.88=5/$4.40 (need to supper at church next week)
Roundy's White bread $.68
Dove Large chocolate bar $1, -$1/1=2 Free(stealing mom's coupon ;)
Dannon 320z yogurt $2, -$1/2 (blinki found at Rainbow 2 wks ago)=2/$3
3lb Gala organic apple $3.49

This seems to be all that I need at the moment. Before coupons I make it to $19.92. Looks like it will be $16.04 after coupons.

I was wondering if the Progresso deal is any good. Buy 8 get $8 off your order. Anyone know if there are coupons out for this or what the regular price is?

Another possibility is the 2/$1 Kemps milk. Anyone know of coupons for these?

The hunts pasta sauce is good buy, but I have so many organic tomatoes and sauce right now that I don't really need anyone. Keep it in mind though it you are looking for some.

Anything else that I missed? I'm sure there is quite a bit being I have been out of it for so long.

Dannon 4 Pack Activia, DanActive, Light & Fit Yogurt 2/ $4

There are quite a few 1/1 from inserts for Activia, DanActive and Light & Fit. With double, they are free.

There is an internet print for the Progresso $1/2 or .50/2 from the 9/7 GM insert. I'll try and look at prices if I get there tomorrow.

Another decent deal is Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, Cinnamon, Orange or Carmel Sweet Rolls 3/$4.98 and lots of IP coupons for $1 off - doubled would be overage.

My paper did not advertise doubles do you think there will be doubles this week?

Green Giant Steamers $.88
I have 2 coupons for the Steamers. Does Rainbow give overage or should I purchase 3 bags to make up the difference so the coupons don't beep?

Dove Large chocolate bar $1
Loving this with my $1 coupons

Thanks everyone.

I stopped in to check on some prices last night after work, I've only been to Rainbow doubles Weds twice this whole summer,and need to work up my scenarios well in advance. Saw a big banner about Weds Doubles in the entryway. No end date, like the Sunday ad used to have. This was in Minnesota, in Mendota Hts off Hwy 52 and Concord.

That said, I will do the GM cereal deal first, prices started at 2.49 for Cheerios, there were 6 or 8 different kinds of cereal that could be had for under $3.00 each. I've got many GM coupons, (1.00/3, 1.00/2, 75/1, etc.) not sure what combination to use. I'll pad this with a Pillsbury Crescent roll at 2.09, with IP 1.00/1 coupons, maybe a foil packet of Tuna Creations (can't remember brand) 1.89 less 1.00/1 coupon, or Dreamfield Pasta at 2.29 less 1.00/1 co. Also have Icebreakers gum co, 1.00/2 they're priced 99c ea. Don't have exact details with me right now, but will hit 25.32, less 10.00 for buying 6 cereal, less 10.00 for doubling five 1.00 coupons, OOP 5.32, and get a free gallon of milk coupon.

Trip 2, 8 Progresso soups, all were priced at 2.49. And a gallon of milk, use the co from trip one. Then pad the order up to 25.00 with crescent rolls, Pasta, gum, tuna, whatever I didn't use first trip. This worked out on paper last night to be 10.50 or 11.50 OOP.

If anybody scopes out a Rainbow can you please post if they stated whether or not they're continuing to double coupons?
I think someone already posted that the Minneapolis Quarry Rainbow said they are stopping on Sept 10.

the pillsbury cresent ip will not double because it is written on all pillsbury coupons no doubling.

I was just at the Bloomington Rainbow on American Blvd and they continuing doubles! Sorry, I forgot to ask if there was an expiration date set.
