What's Good at the 99 Cent Only Store this Week? 3-13-13

Wednesday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week! I had another great shopping trip at the 99 Cent Only Store. I have snacks coming out of my ears at this point, but I LOVE trying all the great new finds.

It's so easy to miss things in this store. You really have to comb certain aisles more than once. I would have missed the Betty Crocker Shake & Pour Confetti Cupcake Mix, had I not gone down it's aisle for a second look. And, I swear the amazing tubs of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough were not there, when I first looked in the fridge, last week.

The 99 Cent Only Store is like Christmas morning every time I go in, because the items constantly change, and it's always a big surprise!

Here's what I found this week....

19.2 oz. Old El Paso Gordita Dinner Kits (contains 8 Gordita Flour Tortillas, Ranch Sauce & Seasoning Mix) Exp. 5-1-13

15.2 oz. Old El Paso Burrito Dinner Kit (contains 8 Flour Tortillas, Black Beans & Rice & Seasoning Mix) Exp. 5-23-13

8 ct. Low Fat Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts Exp. 9-11-13

8 ct. Low Fat Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-tarts Exp. 9-8-13

12 ct. Limited Edition Frosted Pumpkin Pie Pop-tarts Exp. 7-28-13

6 oz. Athenos Reduced Fat Feta Cheese Exp. 4-22-13

8 ct. Danimals Squeezables Gelatin Snacks ~ Orange Flavor Exp. 4-14-13

I was pleasantly surprised that these contained no high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors or flavors!

6 ct. Fiber One Strawberry PB & J Chewy Bars Exp. 5-18-13

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Flavor Blasted with Wild White Cheddar Exp. 4-14-13

I normally try to stay away from "flavored" Goldfish, because I try not to feed my son hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup or artificial dyes. However, nothing on the ingredient list for this flavor through up a red flag for me. My son has high functioning Autism, and I try to limit the bad stuff, due to behavior changes I've seen in him.

10 oz. Albertsons(Jewel) Maraschino Cherries Exp. 10-25-14

33.8 oz. 1800 Ultimate Mojito Mix Exp. No expiration date that I could see

6 ct. Golden Grahams Chocolate Marshmallow Treats Exp. 5-28-13

10 ct. Oreo Creme Filled Brownies Exp. 3-6-13 I guess these are already past the "best buy" date, but I not a huge believer in expiration dates anyway, so we'll eat them!

13.1 oz. Betty Crocker Shake & Pour Confetti Cupcake Mix Exp. 7-12-13

 

 59 oz. Minute Maid Light 15 Calories Pink Lemonade Exp. 4-6-13 (Limit one at my store)

What's Good at the 99 Cent Only Store this Week? 3-6-13

 

Another great shopping trip at the 99 Cent Only Store this week! 

I seriously wonder what I'm missing out on, the 6 other days of the week that I'm not there. The employees seem to be in constant "stocking" mode. There were things on the shelves one week ago that are no longer there, and plenty of new items to choose from today. There were several empty spots in the fridge case, and I noticed someone begin to stock the shelves while I was there. The employee filling the fridge must of thought I was "stocking" him, lol! I stood there, patiently waiting, to see what he was going to put out.

The highlight of today's trip would have to be the 4 3/4 pound (yes, you heard me right, POUND) tubs of Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! What an AMAZING deal!

Here are the goods I found this week!

9 oz. Healthy Choice 100% Natural  Lobster Cheese Ravioli (not sure of exp. date, since my hubby already ate this, and the date must have been on the perforated strip that got thrown away.)

89 oz. Gold Peak Unsweetened Iced Tea Exp. 4-2-13

8 oz. Philadelphia Fat Free Strawberry Cream Cheese Exp. 4-25-13

8 - 8.45 oz. Frost Glacier Freeze Gatorade "Juice" Boxes Exp. 4-13-13

6 - 1 oz. Peanut Butter & Chocolate Ritz Crackerfuls Exp. 4-3-13

16 oz. Grimmway Farms Carrot Chips Exp. 3-30-13 (Thought these were cool for my kids!)

20 oz. Grimmway Farms Baby Carrots Exp. 3-28-13

4 count Bag of Orange Bell Peppers

 

This was not necessarily a bargain at $.79 for the one bottle, but I thought the bottle was cool. I got it as a special treat for my son, since he takes a bottle of water to school every day! It's hard to tell from the photo, but on the inside of the bottle there is a photo of Dodger's Stadium during a game. On the back, there are facts about the L.A. Dodgers & Dodger's Stadium.

16.9 oz. bottle of L.A. Dodger's Natural Spring Water Exp. 7-26-14 

I'll be back with more goodies next week! Please feel free to leave a comment about you've found at your local 99 Cent Only Store!
