Hello, Super-Couponers!

It's time for Deals of the Week once again. I've got all the best supermarket and drugstore deals of the week written just for you... all in one place, on one page! As always, grab your scissors and coupon inserts, and get ready to start clipping this week, as bunches of bargains and freebies are heading your way!

As I am based in Chicagoland, the supermarkets I write about are the major ones for our market. However, many of these deals will be applicable at stores around the country within the same parent chain:

• The Jewel-Osco deals may be applicable at Albertson's, Shaws, Acme, Cub, and other SuperValu-owned stores
• The Dominick's deals may be applicable at Safeway, Vons, Carr's, Randall's Genuardi's, Tom Thumb, and other Safeway-owned stores
• The Hilander deals may be applicable at Kroger, Ralph's, Fred Meyer, Dillon's, City Market, King Soopers, and other Kroger-owned stores

The Target, Walgreens and CVS deals apply nationally.

This week's newspaper contained two inserts: SmartSource (SS) and RedPlum (RP.) Some editions of the Parade magazine also have a coupon inside for a FREE 12oz. frozen strawberry lemonade at McDonald's, so grab that if you'd like it.

If you're new to my blog, take a quick minute to read Using this site and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon terminology and abbreviations.

It's a good idea to save the grocery and drugstore flyers each week from the newspaper to have on hand & refer to too as you go through the deals!

And, if you're new to couponing in general, check out my Super-Couponing® website for a list of coupon classes (most are FREE!) and easy instructions on how to start using coupons effectively! MAY 2011 Super-Couponing live Illinois workshops are taking place in Zion, Aurora, New Lenox, Elburn and Highwood!

A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on Illinois stores, the Target, Walgreens and CVS deals apply nationally. And, if you're shopping at a SuperValu, Safeway, or Kroger store, you may find similar sales to our Jewel, Dominick's, and Hilander deals. Welcome, and enjoy!

AND... my Super-Couponing® class is available on DVD! Own the 72-minute video and watch it whenever you like! Click for a video preview & learn how to order!

Unless otherwise noted, GROCERY store deals run through WEDNESDAY of this week,
and the drugstore/general merchandise store deals run through Saturday.

(Also, if you're new, you may not have some of the coupon books that I refer to for some deals. Some coupon books can be found at the grocery store during seasonal promotions -- look for them, as I'll reference them when applicable. And, at the bottom of each week's deals, I list free coupon books that you can request to be mailed to you -- register for all of them, as I'll reference them in future weeks too.

Current home-delivery subscription deals on the Chicago Tribune: Code 0CBV: .38/week Sunday delivery. Code X277 or X542: .50/week Sunday Delivery or $1/week W, TH, F, Sun delivery. Call 800-311-8500 or visit www.chicagotribune.com.

"Deals of the Week" is written assuming you are using the inserts from the Chicago Tribune (or, if reading from outside Chicagoland, the largest newspaper serving your market area. That largest paper has the most, highest-value coupons. The content, coupons, and dollar amounts of the coupons in the RedPlum and SmartSource inserts differs by paper, so to coupon effectively, you do need to be getting the paper with the "best," highest-value coupons.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel-Osco... (View weekly ad)

Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta is on sale for $1.05. Use the $1 coupon from 5/15 SS and pay .05!

Some ConAgra products are on sale for $1 each, and they line up nicely to the coupons in the ConAgra "Rediscover Family" free coupon book if you requested it when it was available. Coupons for some of these products are also in the retail edition of the April All You (and yes, I too am irritated when there's occasionally an extra coupon pull-out in the retail vs. subscriber edition... but April was one of those months.) If you bought the April All You, you'll find a ConAgra insert between pages 96 and 97.

Hunt's Ketchup (24oz.) is $1. Buy two and use the .50-off-2 coupon from the ConAgra book or the retail April All You. You'll pay $1.50 for 2, or .75 each...

Manwich is also $1. (Sounding familiar yet? :) Buy three, use the $1-off-3 coupon in the book and pay $2 for 3 cans, or about .67 per can. If you also have the retail April All You, there's a Buy 4 Get 1 Free for the Manwich. With both coupons, pay $2 for 4, or .50 per can.

Chef Boyardee canned or microwave pasta is also $1. Buy 4 and use the $1-off-4 coupon in the book. You'll pay $3 for 4, or .75 each. If you also have the retail April All You, there's a Buy 4 Get 1 Free for the canned Chef Boyardee. With both coupons, pay $3 for 5, or .60 per can.

(I was surprised to see that they now offer all the Chef Boyardee pastas in whole-grain versions too - saw ravioli, Beefaroni, and "ABCs and 123s with Meatballs.")

Hunt's canned tomatoes and pasta sauce are $1. The book has $1-off-3 coupons both for the tomatoes and the pasta sauce. With each coupon, buy 3 and pay $2 for 3 cans, or about .67 per can.

Ro*Tel diced canned tomatoes are $1. Buy three, use the $1-off-3 coupon from the ConAgra book or the retail April All You and pay $2 for 3 cans, or about .67 per can.

However, if you're shopping at Meijer this week, you may wish to skip these last two deals... canned tomatoes are .09/can over there!

75oz. Xtra Laundry Detergent is on sale for $1.99 (through 5/22.) Buy two and use the $1-off-2 from the 5/1 SS1. You'll pay $2.99 for two, or about $1.50 each!

Heluva Good Sour Cream Dips (12oz., French Onion, Buffalo Wing or Jalapeno Cheddar) are on sale for $1.50. Use the .75 coupon from 5/15 SS and pay .75! (Through 6/11.)

Several Post Cereals (Honey Comb, Cocoa Pebbles, Raisin Bran) are on sale for $1.49/box, limit 8. There are also Jewel-branded cereals and snacks in the same deal, also for $1.49 each, including cereals, Quick Oats, toaster pastries, crunchy and chewy granola bars, and fruit snacks.

Creamette Pasta (12-16oz.) is on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 4/10 SS and pay .50!

Lay's Kettle Chips and Rold Gold Pretzels are on sale for $1.99 a bag. Buy two and use the $2-off-2 from the 5/1 PEPSI (that is, if you didn't already buy Sun Chips with this coupon!) You'll pay $1.98 for two bags, or .99 each! Don't forget to use the FREE Sierra Mist coupon in the same insert too!

Here's a deli meat and FREE gourmet mustard deal! If you're on the Jewel-Osco email list, this week they emailed a coupon for a FREE bottle of DiLusso gourmet mustard with purchase of 1lb. of DiLusso deli meat.

The 4/10 SS has a coupon for $1 off a half-pound of DiLusso meat or cheese at the deli. Put those together and you've got a meat-and-mustard deal! Many DiLusso meats are priced at $4.49 per half-pound.

Scenarios and ideas: Obviously, work the Fuze and Propel into any deal you're doing, as they will be FREE! Goldfish Crackers are a good buy here too at about .63 per bag. And, if you've got Healthy Choice and Marie Callender's Fresh Mixers on Avenu, they'll likely be free with the coupon stack here. I have $1.25 off on one and $1.50 off the other, so with the ConAgra book/All You coupons, they're free!

"No Coupon Needed" Deals:

Jack's Frozen Pizzas (15-19.4oz.) are on sale for $2 each.

Cole's Mini-Loaf Frozen Garlic Bread is $1.

Tropicana Fruit Punch (64oz.) is $1.

Bags of Jewel Marshmallows (10-10.5oz.) are $1.

64oz. bottles of Indian Summer Apple Juice are $3.49, B1G1F - that's about $1.75 each.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

1lb. boxes of Purina One Beyond Cat Food are on sale for $2.49. Use the $2 coupon from 4/17 SS2 and pay .49!

_______________________________________________

As long as this still has print limits..! Reader Avenger spotted a printable coupon for $2 off a $25 purchase at Jewel!

Jewel-Osco information:

Jewel-Osco has a Facebook page. If you have questions directly for corporate, you can ask them there.

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? Jewel has been making coupons available for many different products over the past few months, and they're usually store coupons that you can stack manufacturer coupons with too.

Coupon books currently found at Jewel:

Fresh Summertime Fun - Coupons for charcoal, meats and other items - full list. All expire 6/18/11.

Smuckers Ice Cream - has ice cream topping coupons for $1.25 off and B3G4th Free

Fresh & Fun Celebration - Small book with coupons for $2 off any 1lb. or larger Stockman & Dakota Premium Angus Beef package; $2 off any 1 to 2lb. bag of Arctic Shores shrimp, and $2 off any Hormel Party Tray (all expire 7/15/11.)

Smart Easy Spring Cleaning - Coupons for SC Johnson cleaning products (Windex, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles.)

Jewel meat deals:

• Chicken drumsticks, thighs or leg quarters are .88/lb.
• Jewel whole fryer chickens are $1.29/lb.
• Boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99/lb.
• Jewel Italian Sausage or Bratwurst is $1.99/lb.

Jewel seafood deals:

• 4oz. Ocean Market Salmon or Tilapia fillets are $1 each - that's $4/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• Broccoli crowns or cauliflower are .89/lb.
• Red seedless grapes are $1.49/lb.

(Anytime meat is under $1.99 a pound (no matter what it is -- beef, pork, poultry) it's a buy in my book, because $1.99 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices -- ditto for most produce. Seafood, by its nature, is more expensive per pound, but a good "buy" benchmark is $4 per pound or less for fish or shrimp.)

Let's go to Dominick's (View weekly ad)...

Note to Safeway shoppers reading from outside Chicagoland: In Chicago, Dominick's does not double coupons (as other Safeway stores do) - if your store doubles, you'll do even better with many of these deals. Also, in Chicago, support for previously-available ecoupons (Cellfire, ShortCuts and PGEsaver) have been discontinued. Ecoupons are now available in the "Just For U / Coupon Center" section of electronic coupons available at Dominicks.com.

Dominick's Super Coupons:
These are store coupons found in the weekly Dominick's flyer, which (in the case of the name-brand products) means they can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for even bigger savings. You can also load some of these Super Coupons to your Fresh Values card via Dominicks.com and not have to clip them. Best bets this week?

In the May 12-May 18 flyer - "Introducing Open Nature" on cover:

• Tropicana Trop50 juices are $1.99 per bottle, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy three and use the $2-off-3 coupon from the 5/1 PEPSI insert. You'll pay $3.97 for 3, or about $1.32 per bottle - GREAT price. We picked some up over the weekend and the pineapple-mango and pomegranate flavors rang up at this price too.
   
  
• Reynolds Wrap (30-75 sq. ft. foil) is on sale for $2.49, limit 3, with Super Coupon. Use the $1 coupon from 5/15 SS and pay $1.49! There's also a .75 coupon in the 4/17 SS2 and a .50 coupon in the 4/10 SS that will net you more foil at $1.74-$1.99.

Just for U launched new offers this month (found under "Personalized Offers" at Dominicks.com's Just For U.) The new offers are valid through 9/14/2011, and you do need to load them to your Fresh Values card to activate them.

Also, remember to look through your offers for any FREE products. Over the past few weeks, many readers (and myself!) have found ecoupons for random free products in Just For U.

Hunt's canned tomatoes and pasta sauce are $1. The ConAgra "Rediscover Family" coupon book (home mailer) has $1-off-3 coupons both for the tomatoes and the pasta sauce. With each coupon, buy 3 and pay $2 for 3 cans, or about .67 per can.

Again, though, if you're a Meijer shopper... head there for .09 canned tomatoes this week.

Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, St. Charles, and the Indianapolis area: (View weekly ad)...

 

Before we get to the grocery deals, if you like clearance shopping at Meijer, check out the housewares endcaps and clothing racks... over the weekend, we spotted high-threadcount (300, 400, and 600) 100% cotton bedsheets in Full, Queen and King ranging from $10-$20 per set. In children's clothing, many of the long-sleeve shirts priced at $3 and $4 were ringing up for $2 each, so hit the price scanner and check to see if any already-good prices have been reduced even more. Other readers reported finding split accordion files (the kind I show in class to organize coupons in!) on clearance for $3.99 at the McHenry and Algonquin Meijer locations.

Summer Fun Stay-Cation Deal! Meijer is running a great Catalina sale in which buying $15 worth of participating Coca-Cola products generates a Catalina good for 4 FREE admissions to the Brookfield Zoo! (We saw this deal last year too on the Shedd Aquarium, and it was such a GREAT deal!)

12-packs of Coca-Cola are on sale for $3 each. Buying 5 will cost you $15, and you'll get the pop AND 4 free admissions to Brookfield Zoo! General admission at the zoo is $13.50 each for adults, $9.50 each for kids, so if you're planning to visit the zoo at all this summer, doing the deal FOR the zoo passes alone is a steal - it drops your admission to $3.75 each, plus you get "free" pop.

Believe it or not, there ARE coupons out to make this deal even better. If you picked up some of the "Women's Heart Health" Coca-Cola coupon books found in some stores back in February, there are $1-off-2 coupons for Diet Coke 12-packs inside. With 2 coupons, buy 5 12-packs (four of which are Diet Coke.) Pay $13 for your 5 12-packs, PLUS 4 free zoo admissions.

Several readers have also spotted a new Coca-Cola coupon book on displays at Jewel too (I don't have one, so I don't know what the book is called..!) It reportedly has a $1-off-3 12-packs coupon inside too. LOVE this deal!

The zoo coupons are good through 12/31/11, and they are one per transaction. If you want more zoo coupons, split your Coke purchase up into 5 12-packs per transaction.

Welch's Essentials Juice is on sale for $2.50. Use the .75 coupon from 4/17 SS2 and pay $1.75. If you have two .75 coupons, the deal gets better... Meijer Mealbox has a coupon for $1-off-2 Welch's! With this and two manufacturer coupons, buy two Welch's. After coupons, pay $2.50 for two, or $1.25 each!

Meijer is running a Catalina deal on its Meijer Naturals and Meijer Organics house branded food items. Buy any 3, get $1 off, buy any 4, get $2 off, or buy any 5 or more, get $3 off your NEXT Meijer Naturals or Organics purchase. (Page 4-5 of Thursday's ad.)

The cheapest item shown in the ad is Meijer Naturals canned tomatoes (10-14.5oz.) or tomato sauce (15oz.) at .69 a can. Buying 5 will cost you $3.45, and you'll get a $3 Catalina! 5 cans of tomatoes or sauce for .45 is .09 a can! SUPER CHEAP!

***

If you like organic ketchup, Meijer's house brand of 20-ounce ketchup is $1.99. An all-ketchup deal would cost $9.95 and you'd get $3 back - $6.95 for 5 is $1.39 a bottle.

Ditto their 64-ounce tomato or vegetable juice. It's $2 a bottle - buy 5 for $10 and get $3 back. 5 for $7 is $1.40 each, also a good price.

And... their naturals peanut butter. Same deal at $2 per 16oz. jar - buy 5 for $10 and get $3 back. 5 for $7 is $1.40 each.

I did a round of Meijer Organic Milk which triggered the Catalina as well.

Note that the Catalina is for your NEXT Meijer Naturals or Organics purchase, and it does state "Additional coupon offer will not print when this coupon is redeemed in the same transaction," so don't roll it if you're planning multiple deals. Idea to use the Catalina on in a future trip? Meijer organic milk ($3.49 half-gallon) or Meijer Organics/Naturals fresh produce items.

Meijer's got another Catalina sale running on Meijer Brand Health, Beauty, and Cosmetic products that are priced at $2.69 each or more. Buy 3, get a $3 Catalina; buy 4, get a $5 Catalina, buy 5, get an $8 Catalina for your next health, beauty or cosmetic purchase.

To do this the "cheapest" way, buying 5 $2.69 items will cost you $13.45 and you'll get an $8 Catalina back... that's $5.45 for 5, or $1.09 each. I saw the Meijer Triple Antibiotic Ointment (Neosporin knockoff) priced at $2.69 - getting it for around a buck isn't bad.

*****

Honestly, I didn't think this deal was THAT hot... until I noticed that all of the Meijer brand vitamins and supplements are Buy One, Get One Free this week. The free bottles DO count toward the purchase requirements!

Because the vitamins are B1G1F, to maximize the deal, you'll want to buy 6, pay for 3, and get the Catalina for buying 5 or more. Meijer vitamin supplements start at $3.99. Buying 6 bottles at that price (B1G1F, so paying for 3) costs $11.97 and you'll get an $8 Catalina back - that knocks everything to $3.97 for SIX, or about .66 a bottle!

GREAT CHILDREN'S VITAMINS DEAL! 60-count Meijer Kids Gummies or Animal Shapes vitamins are $5.49 per bottle. Buy 6 bottles ($16.47, as three bottles will be free with B1G1F sale.) Pay $16.47 and get an $8 Catalina back - that's $8.47 for SIX bottles, or about $1.41 per bottle! SUPER cheap for kids' vitamins!

If there are supplements you take regularly, this is a great time to stock up too. For example, 100ct. bottles of Meijer Naturals Fish Oil are $6.79 B1G1F - six bottles (again, paying for three) costs $20.37 and you'll get $8 back. That's $12.37 for 6, or about $2.06 per bottle, which is really a steal for this.

Deal Insider Info: To be honest, I wondered if I might do even better on the fish oil deal. Because the ad says that the Meijer Organics/Naturals Catalina triggers a $3 Catalina on "any Meijer Naturals," and many of the vitamins and supplements are also branded as "Meijer Naturals," I did the deal wondering if I'd also get the $3 Catalina in addition to the $8 Health Catalina. The $8 Health Catalina printed for my vitamins transaction, but the $3 Meijer Naturals Catalina did not. The service counter said that while the ad says "any," the $3 Catalina only works on food items. Could have been one heck of a double-dip! Took one for the team... so you don't have to -- and still a great buy at about $2 each.

Again, great, great potential here for super-cheap Meijer vitamin and supplement stockups by combining the B1G1F with the "Buy 5, get $8" sale. Remember again that the $8 Catalina is for your next "Health, Beauty or Cosmetic" purchase at Meijer and is a store coupon.

Buying ADULT vitamins? Meijer Mperks has an ecoupon for $2 off any Meijer Century Multivitamin too - 300ct only.

Meijer is running its "Buy 10 for $10, get the 11th FREE" sale again. Remember, with this sale, the order that the cashier scans your item in DOES matter if you plan to use coupons, as Meijer will not allow you to use a coupon on a free item. Make sure that 11th item is a non-coupon item (produce is always fun to get FREE!)

I have noticed that each time they do these, less and less name brand products are included in favor of Meijer brands. (What's up with that?)

Best bets?

Friskies Cat Treats (Whisker Lickins, Party Mix) are $1. Use the $1.50-off-3 from 3/27 SS2. You'll pay $1.50 for 3, or .50 per bag!

Meijer Frozen Vegetables or Steamables (12-16oz.) are $1.

Meijer Wheat and White bread, Hamburger buns or Hot dog buns are $1.

Meijer Naturals Quick Oats, Old Fashioned Oats (18oz.) or Grits (24oz.) are $1 AND they double dip on the "Buy 5, Get $3" Meijer Naturals/Organics Catalina.

Meijer 2lb. bags of All-Purpose Flour are $1.

Meijer 1lb. bags of Confectioners, Light, or Dark Brown Sugar are $1.

Meijer Freezer, Storage, or Sandwich Bags are $1.

Don't forget to pick up the free 11th item!

"No Coupon Needed" Deals:

Meijer Macaroni and Cheese (boxed, 7.25oz.) is .50 a box, limit 10.

Are you a Meijer Mperks member yet? Mperks is a different set of electronic Meijer coupons. They're attached to your cellphone number, but aside from one text message to activate your account, you do not need to use text messaging to continually use them. Once you register with Meijer Mperks, you log into the Mperks website and click the electronic coupons you'd like to load to your account. Then, when you're at the checkout, type your cellphone number into the keypad at the register, and your coupons come off automatically.

Meijer meat deals:

• Pork shoulder bone-in country style ribs are $1.59/lb.
• 40oz. packages of Meijer boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $4.99 - that's about $2/lb.

Meijer seafood deals:

• 16oz. packages of Meijer Cod Fillets are $3.99

• Tomatoes on the vine are .99/lb.
• 1lb. containers of strawberries are $1.50 each
• Asparagus is $1.99/lb.
• Florida bi-color sweet corn is .25 an ear

Note that Meijers in other states are on different schedules. The Illinois Meijers are about a week behind on the sales vs. most of Indiana/Michigan. If you're in Illinois, these Meijer deals run through Wednesday. If you're reading from another state, they ENDED Saturday at your store... Confusing? Yes.

AND, if you shop at the Illinois NILES or ORLAND Meijer locations, they haven't been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers, under the convoluted reasoning that because the stores are newer, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

---

Policies to know:

• Walmart will price match any competitor's advertised price. Bring the other store's flyers with you to the store.
   
  
• With the new coupon policy, Walmart will also accept other store's STORE coupons with an actual price listed on them. For example, a Dominick's store coupon advertising ".99 Ragu Pasta Sauce" would be accepted. A Walgreens store coupon advertising "2/$1 Morton's Salt" would be accepted. (A Target store coupon for "$2.50 off Huggies" would not, because it does not show the actual selling price of the item.)
   
  
• With the new coupon policy, Walmart will also accept competitor's Catalina manufacturer coupons. You can get a Catalina for $1 off Snuggle and use it at Walmart.
   
  
• Walmart's new coupon policy specifically addresses coupon overage. It says "Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase." I have heard from one reader who used a $3 Register Reward on a $2.49 copy of All You magazine and DID receive change, in cash.
   
  

I would print a copy and carry a copy of the coupon policy with you if you anticipate any issues.

Will I blog Walmart in its entirety each week?

I will not be blogging entire writeups for Walmart each week. Every store location's regular prices are different, and Walmart does not issue a weekly ad every week. I've listed Walmart at the end of each week's Deals writeup, because if you see any deals above that you want, you'll likely also be able to do them at Walmart.

However, if there IS an ad with noteworthy sales or I'm aware of great coupon matchups, you'll find those here too.

As always, these deals are guidelines for shopping. I can make no guarantee that these items will be on sale, in stock, or available at your area store. I can also not guarantee your Catalinas will print, your cashier will smile at you while you check out, or that your shopping cart won't have a broken wheel. But I CAN teach you how to save money :)

And, also, as always, a huge thanks to the many readers who posted and emailed deals that made it into today's Deals of the Week! We're all in this together, and I sincerely appreciate everyone who spots and passes along good deals that we can all enjoy :) Thank you... to YOU!

 

* (All You magazine is not a requirement for using the site, but if you like coupons, you will probably really enjoy it. It's a cheap ($2.49 an issue) magazine that is absolutely filled with coupons each month -- typically $50-$100 worth per issue! You can subscribe to All You online and save about $10/year off the cover price. And depending on the values, if you use 2 or 3 coupons alone from each issue, you've recouped the cost of the magazine, and you're on your way to even bigger savings.)
