I have also found Dole Fruit Crisp for $1.65 at Cash Savers. If you have one in your area you can use the manufacturer's coupon for .75 off. That is the cheapest I have ever paid for these sweet treats.

Here is the coupon. It expires  10/05/13

Also if you live in the Memphis area the Delta Fair started this past Friday. Check with your child's school and see if they have any free kid's admission passes.
