Through Tuesday (8/31/10) Albertsons is selling Ken’s Steak House Salad Dressing (selected varieties, 16 oz.) for $1.00 with club card. This is already a pretty good deal since this stuff sells for around $4.00. But by combining the club card deal with the coupon from the paper a few weeks ago ($1.00 off 1 16 oz. dressing) you get it for free. Literally since it is a food product and thus not taxable.
I had two coupons, since I get two papers, so I got two of these guys for the gas it took to drive there.
Now I know what you are thinking. Since you do not eat salad, like most Americans, what is the point even if it is free. Salad dressings, certain types at least, make excellent marinades. So even if you don't eat salads you can probably find a use for it. As brands go Kens is pretty good and this is a good deal even without a coupon. But if you have one, or two, you might run in on your way home and grab one for free.

Making Life a Little Less Expensive Every Week
Here in Orange County California we benefit from fierce competition in the grocery industry. Not only do they compete with each other (Albertsons, Ralphs, Stater Brothers, and Vons) they compete with various small market chains (Henry's, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, and a host of independent markets. In addition both Target and Walmart carry a limited, but well priced, selection of grocery staples. With so many choices it is easy to simply pick a store and hope you don't burn through your budget halfway through shopping. But, with a little effort and a little more driving, you can dramatically trim your grocery expenses. You can put the savings towards the ridiculous cost of housing.

Making a Coupon Stockpile
The quickest source of coupons is the sunday paper. Each week there are anywhere from one to three coupon circulars (P&G Brandsaver, Red Plum, and Smart Source). The Sunday paper(Register or Times) costs $1.50.But they both also issue a weekend edition of their paper, which is remarkably similar, for 75 cents. I buy one of each (Register and Times) for a total cost of $1.50. This give two sets of coupons, which some weeks works out fantastically and some weeks not so good. But each paper has a diferent selection of ads (these vary from paper to paper and even from week to week).
Be sure to physically check the paper for coupon circulars since store-bought papers do not always get the same coupons as a home-delivered paper. The delivered paper may have three circulars this week but the one in the store could have one, two, three, or even zero coupons. So just be sure to check before you buy.
Alternately you can order subscriptions online. Though the Times wants $2.50 a week to deliver the Sunday paper. But a quick google search will often turn up deals or promo codes for a dollar a week. Recently in LA the Times was offering a year of Sundays for 19 cents a week.
