Deals of the Week for February 15, 2010
Hope everybody had a great Valentine's Day yesterday! Of course, now that the holiday's passed, keep your eyes open for deals on Valentine's candies and products...
This week's newspaper contained one insert: a RedPlum. (But don't worry -- next week we're scheduled to have four inserts! And of course, if you've been Super-Couponing for any length of time, you've got a nice library of coupon inserts to work with :)
If you're a rebater, you might want to know about two that work nicely into some of this week's deals. The $100 P&G Year of Savings coupon book is running again this year (get free coupon book by sending in P&G receipts) and there's also a $15 Olay rebate (yes, those FREE body washes qualify!)
Ready for Chicagoland's best Deals of the Week? You'll be taking home free bread, free breakfast sandwiches, .38 Kellogg's cereal, free deodorant, free mouthwash... and much more! Let's get started!
(Or, jump directly to comments on this week's deals...)
If you're new to the site, take a quick minute to read Using this site and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon lingo and abbreviations.
It's a good idea to save the grocery and drugstore flyers from both Wednesday and Sunday each week 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!
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-owned store, you may find similar sales to our Jewel, Dominick's, and Hilander deals. Welcome, and enjoy!
AND... my Super-Couponing® class is now available on DVD! Own the 72-minute class and watch it whenever you like! Click for a video preview & learn how to order!

- Spend $50 on groceries and get a $5 Catalina - note that this is working on a POST COUPON $50 purchase, so not quite as easy to do.
Find another great deal with the YourBucks Catalina promotion? Post it below! This set of offers is good through 3/16, and this already looks to be a very fun promotion! Some people are also reporting a bonus $2 Catalina printing with each transaction. It's random, but if yours does, you can have even more fun with this great sale. Remember to ACTIVATE these savings 36 hours BEFORE shopping.
JEWEL PROMO RETURNING? There are signs up at the Mount Prospect Jewel near Randhurst Mall that they'll be having a coupon promotion Saturday, 2/20, beginning at 10:00am. A call to the store confirmed this is a "Green Team" promotion, in which you receive a free reusable green Jewel shopping bag with organic product samples and coupons inside. The Green Team promotions have typically NOT included the Jewel Preferred Card Update book - two separate events, but you never know. (Remember that the Preferred Card Update "Blue Tent" promotions ended in 2009.)
If you go, let us know what kind of coupons you get! Here's a link to last year's Update promotion details if you'd like to learn more.
FREEZER DEAL MATCHUPS: McCain Frozen Potatoes are B1G1F this week. Use your freezer coupon for one free bag, and go get TWO! The Baldwin Ice Cream is back B1G1F through the 27th - get TWO of these too. And, the Deans Churn Ice Cream tubs are ALSO B1G1F through March 7th! Get two of these too! We'll be keeping track of the B1G1F sales for the freezer coupons in this Forum discussion.
Frigo Cheese Heads string cheeses are $2.49 for a 10-12oz. package. Use this $1 printable and pay $1.49! There are additional coupons out for these, but not quite as high-value -- the Jewel Preferred Card Update book has a .75 coupon, and there's a .40 coupon in the 1/31 RP insert.
Here's a fun little deal on Tennessee Pride breakfast sandwiches. (Note that not all Jewel locations carry these! But if yours does...) Tennessee Pride singles are on sale for $1. Check your Avenu and activate the discount for .25 off Tennessee Pride. Then, print $1 coupons - and these little sandwiches are moneymakers! (Yes, it's an unlimited print coupon - but don't be a shelf-clearer :)
CHEAP CEREAL ALERT! There's a smashingly good Catalina deal going on Kellogg's cereals! Buy 4 boxes, get $3 back. Buy 5, get $4. They're on sale for $1.88 a box, and cereals include:
Apple Jacks
Cocoa Krispies
Corn Pops
Froot Loops
Frosted Flakes
Honey Smacks
Buy 4 ($7.52) and use two $1.50 off 2 coupons (print one here, then print another here)- pay $4.52 and get $3 back. $1.52 for 4 boxes of cereal works out to .38 a box!
This deal's running at Dominick's this week too if you'd like to use expired coupons with the same Cat deal...
Sargento shredded cheeses are $1.99 a bag. Use the .55 coupon from December All You and take it home for $1.44! There's also a .50-off-2 coupon in the 1/31 SS insert - take 2 more home for $1.74 a bag...
Edy's Ice Cream 1.5pt containers are on sale for $2.50. Use the $1 coupons in either the 1/31 SS or the Jewel Preferred Card Update book to take this home for $1.50!
If you've taken my Super-Couponing 2 class, we talk about yearly cycle lows for certain categories of products. February is officially Canned Food Month, and Jewel's got a good deal going on Del Monte canned vegetables. Through 2/20, buy:
3-4 cans get $1.00 Catalina
5 cans get $1.50 Catalina
6 cans get $2.00 Catalina
Participating products include:
Del Monte 14.5 oz - Mixed Vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, beets, white potato
Del Monte 14.75 oz corn
Del Monte 15.25 oz corn
Del Monte 15 oz peas
The vegetables are on sale for .99/can through 2/21. Of course, we can make this better with coupons...
- $1 off 5 - 2/7 RP
- $1 off 4 - printable
With either coupon, buy 6, pay $4.94 and get $2 back - that's .49/can... half the sale price!
Running through 3/7 now, Trident Layers gum is on sale for $1 a pack. Use the .75 coupon from 2/7 SS and take it home for .25!
There's a great high-value coupon out for Baby Basics diapers (Jewel's house brand.) Print this $4 coupon and cut the price in half, as most jumbo packs are $7.99.
Some stores may have the larger boxes on clearance for $9.99 (may not be marked - check with price scanner.) With coupon, pay $4.99 for these, a steal.
Continuing from previous weeks, if you're a fan of Jewel's Wild Harvest line of organics, here's your chance to take some home FREE! Numerous Wild Harvest snacks are on clearance for $1 at many stores (look for herbed saltines, "Endangered Species" kids' crackers [cheddar shapes, like Goldfish] and a few others. Print this $1 off any Wild Harvest coupon (you can print 2!) and these will be FREE!
Jewel meat deals:
- Fresh jumbo chicken leg quarters are .99/lb
- Perdue fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb
- Perdue fresh split chicken breasts are $1.99/lb
- Fresh boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99/lb
- Fresh cut pork shoulder roast is $1.99/lb
- Farm-raised catfish nuggets are $1.99/lb
(Anytime meat is under $1.99 a pound (no matter what it is -- beef, pork, poultry, or seafood) it's a buy in my book, because $1.99 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices.)
Jewel produce deals:
- Bulk sweet onions are .99/lb
- Anjou, Red or Bosc pears are $1.49/lb
- Fresh green asparagus is $1.99/lb
- Granny Smith or Red Delicious apples are $2.88 for a 5lb. bag - that's .58/lb!
- Navel oranges are $2.99 for a 4lb. bag
- Red grapefruit are $2.99 for a 5lb. bag
Let's talk Dominick's! Before we dig into this week's Dominick's deals, if you haven't read or had a chance to respond to this Dominick's discussion regarding customer service and coupon issues in their stores, please do. I have been in touch with Dominick's Public Affairs department, and they are reading this discussion. So many readers have taken a few moments to share their concerns.
If there is anything (good or bad) you'd like to share or add to this discussion of coupon acceptance at Dominick's, please take a moment to do so.
And now... on to the Dominick's deals!
Here's a freebie! Fiber One yogurt multipacks are on sale for $2. Stack the $1 Cellfire ecoupon with a $1 manufacturer coupon from 10/4/09 GM, 9/13/09 GM, 8/9/09 GM, or 7/12/09 SS and it's FREE!
Betty Crocker brownie mixes are cheap too. They're .69 each when you buy in quantities of 4, limit 8. That's already a fantastic price, but you know we're going to make it better... use two .75-off-2 coupons (printable, 8/23/09 SS, 7/19/09 SS, 6/28/09 SS), and pay $1.26 for FOUR... that's .32 each! (Note that the ecoupons on Shortcuts and Cellfire are for different varieties of brownies, so you can't stack them in.)
Betty Crocker pouch cookie mixes are a good deal this week too. Buy 4 or more and they're .99 each. Use any 4 of the following .40 coupons: printable, printable, 2/7 GM, 12/13/09 GM, 11/15/09 GM, 10/25 SS, 9/13/09 GM, 8/9/09 GM.) Also, load the .40 ecoupons from Shortcuts and Cellfire. Buy 4 ($3.96) - with .80 off in ecoupons and $1.60 off in manufacturer coupons, pay $1.56 for 4, or .39 each! This deal's limit 8, so if you want to really stock up, any .40 coupon you use will result in another .59 cookie mix!

CHEAP CEREAL ALERT! The same Kellogg's Catalina deal going on at Jewel is also running at Dominick's, and the ability to use expired coupons at Doms definitely sweetens this one on their side of the coin. Buy 4 boxes, get $3 back. Buy 5, get $4. They're on sale for $1.88 a box, and cereals include:
Apple Jacks
Cocoa Krispies
Corn Pops
Froot Loops
Frosted Flakes
Honey Smacks
The same coupons as the Jewel deal apply here (print one here, then print another here), BUT, if you are a good collector of Blinkie coupons, you may have some of those wonderful $1-off Kellogg's coupons (now expired.) With five of these, pay .88 per box = $4.40... and get a $4 Catalina back! 5 cereals for .40 is just .08 a box!
Capri-Sun 10-packs are on sale for $1.79. Use this $1-off-2 printable and pay $2.58 for 2, or $1.29 each...
Continuing through 4/1, PureVia sweetener is on sale for $1.99. Use the $2 coupon in 1/3 SS1 and it's yours... FREE!
As usual, there are some Dominick's Super Coupons* in this week's ads too. Best bets?
- Coca-Cola 24-packs are 2-for-$9, limit 2
- Kleenex 75-200ct. boxes are $1 with Super Coupon, limit 4. Use .50-off-3 coupon (12/6/09 SS, 11/1/09 SS, 10/4/09 SS, 8/2/09 SS, 7/12/09 SS,) buy 3, and pay $2.50, or .83 each
- Minute Maid orange juice is $1.99, limit 2
- Tidy Cat 20lb. cat litter is $5.99 with Super Coupon. Use $1 manufacturer coupon (2/7 RP, 10/4/09 RP, 8/9/09 RP) to drop this to $4.99
Dominick's meat deals:
- Country pork ribs are .99/lb
- Fresh Safeway chicken drumsticks, thighs, or leg quarters are $1.29/lb.
- Boneless shoulder blade roast is $1.69/lb.
- Fresh Tyson boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99/lb.
Dominick's produce deals:
- Extra large russet potatoes are .79/lb
- Minneola Tangelos are $1.29/lb
- Pre-ripened D'Anjou pears are $1.29/lb
- Large navel oranges are $1.29/lb
- Gala or Fuji Michigan-grown apples are $1.49/lb
- Broccoli crowns are $1.69/lb
- Tree-ripened yellow peaches or nectarines are $1.99/lb
- Tender green asparagus is $1.99/lb
- Red or Green seedless grapes are $1.99/lb
- 3lb. bags of O Organics yellow onions are $1.99
- 2lb. bags of Eating Right peeled baby carrots are $2
- 16-ounce containers of strawberries are $4.99, B1G1F through MONDAY ONLY
- 5lb. boxes of Clementines are $4.99. Use $1 off coupons for "Cuties" brand (2/7 SS, 12/6/09 SS) and pay $3.99
*A note on Dominick's Super Coupons: All Super Coupons require a total purchase of $10 or more to use. But, the "Minimum $10 purchase" applies to the REGULAR, non-sale price of those items. Really! It's even spelled out very well on Safeway's corporate site:
What does "minimum $10 (or $20) purchase required" mean? To use store coupons that include a minimum purchase requirement, you must spend a minimum dollar amount on that shopping trip. You will reach the minimum purchase amount based upon total purchases before your Club Card discount is applied. This total will include the coupon item's regular price, not the discounted price. For example, the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (before coupon and before Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon.
So, knowing this, getting over that qualifying dollar amount isn't as hard as it seems.
At Meijer, Kraft Parmesan cheese is a good deal. On sale for $2.99, use this $1-off-2 printable and take two home for $2.49 each - an excellent price!
Gallons of Meijer milk are $1.98 - no coupon needed...
There are a bunch of Meijer store coupons in the current ad, which you can stack manufacturer coupons with, of course, but I'm not seeing anything super stellar here. However, next week looks a lot better. (Here's a little secret -- our Illinois Meijer sales that start on Thursday are Indiana and Michigan's CURRENT Meijer sales. And, you can preview those here!
Meijer meat deals:
- Meijer fresh family pack chicken drumsticks and thighs are .99/lb
- Tyson boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenderloin 40-ounce bags are $4.29 - that's $1.72/lb
- Fresh pork spare ribs are $1.89/lb
- Angus Beef ground beef from round is $1.99/lb.
Meijer produce deals:
- Michigan Red Delicious, Ida Red, Jonathan or Fuji apples are $1.50 for a 3lb. bag - that's .50/lb!
- Red, white or sweet onions are .77/lb
- Northwest Red, Anjou or Bosc pears are $1.18/lb
- Vine-ripened tomatoes are $1.28/lb
- Washington Pink Lady apples are $1.49/lb
- Strawberries are $2/lb
Note that Meijers in other states are on different schedules. The Illinois Meijers are about a week behind on the sales vs. 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.
For my Rockford-area shoppers (and Kroger shoppers too!) Hilander has some good deals this week...
Kroger has a "Buy 10, save $3" instant-savings deal running. This deal is not nearly as hot as the $5 deal that just ended, but there are some good buys in the ad:
Betty Crocker Muffin Mix - on sale for $1.99. Save .30 each when bought in groups of 10. Use a .50 printable (print 2 here, and 2 more here). Those will double to $1 each, making each muffin mix just .69! Stack the .50 ecoupon in from Cellfire and pay .19 for one of your mixes!
Capri-Sun - on sale for $1.99. Save .30 each when bought in groups of 10. Use this $1-off-2 printable, buy 2, and pay $1.19 each when purchased as part of this deal...
Country Crock margarine is also on sale for $1.99 for a 30-40ounce tub, and you'll save another .30 when bought in groups of 10. Use the .40 coupon from 1/31 RP, which doubles to .80 and pay $1.29 when purchased as part of this sale.
Kroger half-gallons of milk are on sale for $1.25 each - a good price and no coupon needed...
Hilander meat deals:
- Pork shoulder roast is .87/lb
- Shank portion ham is .99/lb
- Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.87/lb
Hilander produce deals:
- Organic Anjou pears are .99/lb - GREAT price for organic too!
- Seedless red or green grapes are $1.48/lb
- Tender asparagus is $1.48/lb
- Peaches or nectarines are $1.48/lb
- Idaho potatoes are $1.98 for a 5lb. bag
Off to Target...If you like trial and travel sizes (and who doesn't, especially when they're FREE,) you'll like this next deal. Right Guard travel-sized deodorants are $1 each. Use this $2-off-2 ANY Right Guard and take 2 home FREE!
The HOT deal continues this week is on Gillette Fusion razors! They're on sale for $6.99 each. When you buy 2, you'll get a $5 Target gift card. Sweeten this deal with the $4 coupon for Gillette Fusion razors in the 2/7 PG! If you get multiple inserts, here's how it looks... Buy 2 razors ($13.98.) Use two $4 coupons and pay $5.98... and get a $5 gift card back! TWO "expensive" razors for .98 -- that's .49 each! Remember to save that receipt for the P&G $100 coupon book mail-in offer!
Or, do the deal at Walgreens in a different way...
If you prefer the Gillette Venus razors, there's a fun deal on them too. They're involved in the same "Buy 2, get $5 gift card" deal as the Fusions are. Now, they won't be quite as cheap, BUT you'll be taking some more items home along with these for the same price. Again, you'll need two sets of inserts to rock this deal. Buy 2 Venus, and also buy 2 Olay Body Wash. Use two $2 off Venus coupons and two "Buy Venus, get Olay Body Wash free coupons. Pay $9.98 and get $5 back - $4.98 for 2 razors and 2 body wash isn't too bad... especially if you save that receipt and apply it to either the P&G $100 coupon book mail-in offer or the Olay body wash $15 rebate!
Or AGAIN... do this deal at Wags in a different way...
Many readers have reported finding good deals on GE Energy Smart light bulbs at Target. There are a lot of current coupons available for these - 1/3 SS1 has a $1 manufacturer coupon - here's a printable too. And, the 1/10 SS insert has a $2 Target store coupon, and and Section 1 of the 1/19 Tribune had a $1.50 Target store coupon. Stacked, you're looking at $2.50-$3 in coupon value toward GE light bulbs -- many of which for sell less than that... netting you FREE light bulbs! Many readers have seen 2-packs of these bulbs on clearance in the $2-$3 range too. (Through Feb. 28.)
Drugstore Deals
Heading to Walgreens, Airwick iMotion starter kits are on sale for $3.99. Use the $4 coupon from 2/7 SS and take them home FREE!
Walgreens Apple Juice is $1.50 a bottle, limit 4. Good price for juice - $1.50 is the benchmark I try to stay at pricewise for any bottled juice.
Revlon ColorSilk haircolor is $1.99 with the Walgreens coupon in this week's flyer. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 1/17 SS and take two home for just $1.49 each...
Here's a fun deal on Vicks products! Wags has a Register Reward deal going on Vicks -- buy $20 worth and get $10 back in RRs. So here's the deal...
Buy 2 Vicks Formula 44 medicine ($5 each.) Use the $1 coupon from 1/17 PG, and if you get two papers, use two.
Buy 2 bottles of NyQuil or DayQuil ($5 each.) Use either 2 of the $2 coupons from 1/17 PG (if you get two papers,) or that coupon and the $1.50 coupon from 2/7 PG if you only get one paper.
THEN, use the "Buy 2 Vicks, get Puffs free" coupon from 2/7 PG! If you get multiple papers, use two. Note that no size is specified on this coupon, so get the largest sizes here.
Here's how it looks:
2-paper plan - with two $1 Formula 44 coupons, 2 $2 Nyquil coupons and 2 free Puffs coupons, pay $14 and get $10 back! That's a lot of medicine and tissue for $4!
1-paper plan - with 1 $1 Formula 44 coupon, 1 $2 and 1 $1.50 Nyquil coupons and 1 free Puffs coupon, pay $15.50 and get $10 back!
Gillette Fusion razors continue to be super cheap at Wags again this week too. They're $8.99 with a $4 RR. Use the $4 coupon from the 2/7 PG, pay $4.99 and get $4 back! NICE razor for .99... you can't buy the blades for that price! And again, save those receipts for the P&G $100 coupon book mail-in...
Want to do the Gillette Venus and Olay Body Wash deal at Wags? Here's how it works. The Venus also has a $4 RR attached to it. Buy it at $8.99, along with a bottle of Olay Body Wash. Use the $2 Venus coupon and the "Buy Venus, get Free Olay Body Wash" coupons from 2/7 PG, pay $6.99 for both and get $4 back! You'll pay $2.99 for the razor AND the body wash. And again, again, save those receipts for the P&G $100 coupon book or Olay $15 rebate...
And finally, over at CVS, they are just giving free stuff away again (what a surprise..!) Aussie Hair Care products are on sale for $2.99. Buy one and get $2 back in Extra Care Bucks. Use the $2 coupon from 2/14 RP, pay .99 and get $1 back! FREE Aussie!
Want FREE Sobe LifeWater? It's on sale Buy One, Get One Free at CVS this week. Print this B1G1F coupon and take TWO home free! (Yes, this not only works, it's well-stated under CVS's coupon policy.)
How about another FREE deal? This one's on makeup! Cover Girl is part of an ECB promo too -- buy 2 selected products and get $5 back in ECBs. Here's a great way to work this sale! Buy one Cover Girl Clean foundation at $6, and use the $1 coupon from 1/17 PG. Then, buy another product included in the sale, and use the B1G1F coupon from 2/7 PG. Pay $5 and get $5 back... and it's all FREE!
Here's a deal that will net you free mouthwash! Crest Pro-Health mouthwash is $3.50 a bottle. It's also part of an ECB deal where you'll get $3.50 back when you buy 2, limit 2. Let's use coupons to make this better... there's a $2 off in the 2/7 PG, and this deal is especially good if you get two newspapers.
With 1 coupon, buy 2 mouthwash. Pay $5.50 and get $3.50 back - $2 for 2 mouthwash is cheap! Or...
With 2 $2 coupons, buy 2 mouthwash. Pay $3 and get $3.50 back! Mouthwash moneymaker!
Along with that deal, Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste is $2.99 with a $2 ECB. Use the .50 coupon from 1/31 SS, pay $2.49 and get $2 back. .49 toothpaste is not bad!
Clairol Natural Instincts haircolor's not a bad deal either. It's on sale for $5.99. With the $5-off-2 coupon from 2/14 RP, pay $3.49 each...
CVS Tip: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the price scanner in the store -- it prints bonus coupons for you!

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!

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.)

Double-posting so you don't miss it! - Jewel YB
Your Bucks has $3 off bag of Tyson chicken. In the Thursday ad these bags were $4.99 with PC rather than $7.99 reg. I know there's probably a mfr q out there, too. CHEAP-CHEAP Chicken!!!
Tyson Chicken
I did this deal twice.. got my husband to go with me. On the your bucks it looks like tyson chicken tenders, but the sale does not include them. The chicken nuggets still generate the $3 your bucks though. I spent 3.99 on the first one and got 3 bucks back used that for my husbands second one and paid 1.99 and got 3 bucks back!Woo hoo! Thank you....
Tenders
The sale does include the breaded tenders, which are included on your bucks. I did the deal buying the tenders multiple times and at 3 different Jewels.
Tenders
That is great, my Jewel had the tenders at 7.99 on the shelf and not 4.99. The sale paper said it included the tenders, but I was worried to try. I wonder why the shelf price wasn't labeled? I would have liked the tenders.

it at the self scanner to check, but they should be
Been going since Sunday
This was one of the TOP Jewel deals for this week already :) See the first Jewel deals on this page.
But yes, it's going for a second week.
Jewel clearanced Valentine's stuff
I bought a few of the little russel stover hearts packages - 35 cents each! I need to go back and look at my inserts for the wittman's and russel stover Qs and see how those mesh with that clearance bin! YUMMO!!
Jewel - ibuprofen
If you received a coupon book from the preferred card update promo last year, there is a coupon in it for a FREE Equaline Ibuprofen 24 ct. The Your Bucks promo offers a $1.00 cat. = $1 moneymaker
GE Energy Light Bulbs-Target
I know that Jill mentioned the GE Energy Saving light bulbs in her list of weekly deals for this current week. I found a 7 pack of GE Energy Saving Bulbs at the Batavia Target Store that had been clearanced down to $4.98 (originally $9.99). With the coupons Jill mentions, the 7 pack was $2.50 (about 0.35 a bulb)!
$2.48 at the Target in Rosemont
The same light bulbs are marked down to $4.98 at the Target in Rosemont but when we got to the register they actually rang up at $2.48. With coupons we paid 0.48 for the 7 pack of bulbs!
Kikkoman Soy Sauce deal
There is a nice Kikkoman Soy Sauce deal that I used yesterday at Jewel. I bought 4 Kikkoman soy sauce 10oz bottles for $1.99/ea (on sale), then used 2 B1G1 coupons along with a $1/2 coupon, & the purchase triggered a Cat for $2.50. OOP it's $0.12/each! (http://www.couponingfor4.net/2010/02/kikkoman-cat-deal-idea-for-jewel.html)
kellogg's deal - little bit sweeter!
I dug up some of those $5/4 kellogg's Ips that expired for me on 01-01-2010! Even better than those $1/1 blinkies :o)
so let's try the math:
1.88 x 4 = 7.52 - $5Q = 2.52 - $4cat = $1.48MM!!! :o)
I know, YMMV with dom's, but I am going to try it!! I have two of these Qs, so if it works once, I may try it AGAIN!
Scratch this one.... they gave me the 50% IP coupon value runaround (even tho it isn't 50% off the ORGINAL price. GRRRR!!)
Dawn Direct
At Jewel its still 2/$4? I missed buying it last week when it was posted under Jewel deals. I had used one of my coupons and couldn't put my hands on my other one (forgot it was in my Christmas card from my mom!) I found it today (of course!) and was sooo bummmed that I missed the deal. I love Dawn Direct Foam!
The sale ends 2/21.
The sale ends 2/21.
Dawn Direct Foam
is on sale for 2/$4 and in the P&G book/mailer there was a coupon for $1.50 off...... .50c to try something new....why not considering I got back a $2 cat with a .50c purchase.
i think on thursday dawn is
i think on thursday dawn is part of the spend 25 dollars get back 10 at dominicks--you may want to wait til tomorrow.
about that cat...
Do you only get the $2 cat if you watch the grocery savings video for Your Bucks? I signed up online, so is it too late for me to opt in by watching the video? Does everyone who watched the video get the $2 cat? Or just some....thanks, GMoney
Nothing to do with that
The bonus $2 Cat is completely random. It has nothing to do with how you sign up, whether you watch the web video or anything. Some get it, most do not.
Vicks deal
if you do the vicks deal at walgreens, be sure to keep your recipt for the p&g coupon book- vicks and puffs are both p&g products :)
BEGGIN STRIPS LINK???
The target link does not have any begging strips on it. Anyone else have this problem or know of an alternate link? Thanks!!
wierd
The target site is down-right wierd! I too don't see it when I scroll through the pages (using "next" on the bottom). I DO however, see the coupon when I click on the "pets" link on the left side. Try that. I can't figure out why certain items are not on the WHOLE list, but on the shorter lists! This has happened to me with several coupons lately!
walgreens twizzlers bags
One sale for $1.50, if you buy $10 worth you get $5 RR. 78 cents a bag, in my 3rd week of super couponing thought this was a great deal (there are 4 differents kinds to choose from)
Problem is...
if you end up buying $10 worth of Twizzlers, you eat $10 worth of Twizzlers. This is just one of those items I cannot bring in the house no matter how free it is because I cannot stop myself.
Does anyone else have this problem with some of the deals?
I'm not too tempted, but my
I'm not too tempted, but my gang will search out my stashes of treats and sneak away! Guess I have to expect that with 5 kids (2 teenagers) and a sweet toothed dh!
the temptation of more
I drove past another wags and was VERY tempted to go in and get more, but overcame the urge (we'll see if I last tomorrow)
Twizzlers
Not with Easter coming up! Bring on the candy deals!!
Covergirl BOGO coupon
Went to CVS last night to pick up 2 of the Simply Ageless foundation that's included in the ECB deal on sale for $10ea.......when it came time to enter the coupon, it wouldn't go thru and the manager insisted it's because it states at the bottom only good on the sizes indicated and shows a pic of reg foundation and powder....even though the bold wording on the coupon says ANY cover girl face product.
Anyways, I know you don't go by the picture but by the wording on the coupon but she tried to scan the coupon again and showed me her screen that was saying no item was purchased for this coupon???
So what does that mean?? There were 2 foundations that were scanned and the coupon does NOT say anywhere that it has to be used on a specific cover girl line....it says ANY face product....so is this a glitch with CVS or the cover girl coupon??
I was so bummed that it didn't work out because those foundations are normally $15.99 each and with coupons and ECB's it would work out to $2ea.
mine would not go through either
but cashier just looked over the coupon again and pushed it through.
No Go at Gurnee Jewel
I tried to use the Tennessee Pride Q for breakfast sandwiches and they told me that I had copied the Q and I could only use one. I explained to the cashier and the CS how I got it and they still said that it had been copied and I could not use them all. So I bought one and they refunded the rest. Is there a way to get around this problem, DH loves breakfast sandwiches, especially when they are easy.
On a positive note the YB worked great. I got bread, nuggets, and eggs.
they started that with me
when I had them printed in black and white... but when I printed them in color, there was no fuss at all!
They still didn't scan (not even to beep for no matching item) so the MGR was called over and all I had to do is tell him TN pride had sent me the coupon themselves and it was okay! I think they always call the lead or MGR when a Q doesn't scan (for approval to manually override). At least, that's what happens to me. I try to take two of these Qs with me to each Jewel trip now :o)
I don't mind because I don't want to knowingly use fraudulent Qs and take the attitude that if a q like that DOES turn out to be declared fraudulent, then I WANT to know, so that I don't use it and I can let others know about it. I think they also don't mind because it's only $2 worth at any time (since I have the limit 2 $0.25 off on my avenu to make this a small MM)
$5 Catalina for $50 spent at Jewel
Is this triggered on the amount prior to the coupon deduction or after?
After
Post-coupon total.
Thanks!
I just re-read the deals posted on Sunday evening and saw that it was mentioned, but appreciate the quick response:)
Wags
I was able to use this coupon at 2 different Walgreens yesterday. The cashier's were a little confused of what to do, but a both locations they called the manager over and he overrode the coupon and reduced it down to $3.99.
AIRWICK AT WALGREENS
I tried using my coupon for the free airwick but the cashier would'nt take it because the airwick is on sale for $3.99 and the coupon is for $4.00 off. What can I do?? HELP
I had this problem too at the
I had this problem too at the Spring Grove Walgreens. They wouldn't let me do it no matter how hard I tried to explain it to them... Annoying!
I used mine at the Spring Grove
I bought something else though, maybe that's why it worked
Fiber One yogurt at Dom - how many times will cellfire takeoff?
Did 2 trips today, 1st one bought (2) 4 packs and got (2) $1 OFF on the receipt. I went back and picked up another 3 but no cellfire ecoupon came off on the 2nd trip. Is it a one time only or what with cellfire?
Cellfire
Cellfire (& Shortcuts) will come off as many times as it is loaded to your card. If you have the yogurt on your card ONCE, it will only come off once. If you happened to have had it on your card TWICE, it will come off twice in ONE transaction. Once you use it, it's gone.
I am pretty sure that
you need to reload the eQs from cellfire after you have used them.
Dom's Fiber One Yogurt
The ecoupon is on Cellfire AND Shortcuts. If each one is loaded on the card, they will both come off. They need to be reloaded after you use them. I grabbed my husband's card and loaded the q's on his card, then did 2 seperate transactions to score 2 free packages of yogurt.
Your Bucks Question
Can you do these deals more than once? I did the eggs, bread, Tyson, Tidy Cat, and the All and I bought one of each. Can I do another round of each of these? Do I need to re-register for these deals or are they still available to me on my card? Or is it one and done?
Yep!
I've bought chicken nuggets, bread, and Valentine Hersh Kisses on one order-four times today. I was lucky and my "your bucks" printed everytime. Only registered the one initial time. Happy Shopping.
Sweet!
Just did all the deals at Jewel and Doms, and at Dominicks had $5 catalina print courtesy of itunes. No clue what triggered it. Posted about it in the Doms forum too.
Dom cleaning products
Is this a mix and match sale or are you limited to 3 of the same item? It's only my fiance and myself in a tiny apartment so 24 rolls of paper towels and 36 rolls of toilet paper takes up a lot more space than I have to store it. Thanks!!
Mix and Match
in the ad, doesn't have to be all of one item. Check the receipt on the way out, if the discount doesn't appear correctly you get the first one free and the remaining two at $4.99 each when customer service fixes it(price scan guarantee).
Coupon booklets
Got the free Sobe water at CVS thank you - but I brought the printed coupon policy from this site (thank you!) so that when they questioned it, I just handed it over.
Jewel has Gorton fish filets on sale (maybe $1.5) and a coupon booklet with 2 coupons including a $1 off 2 Gorton items and another $1 off 2 Kemp items. The Booklet is on the meat counter (where they cut the meat for you).
Dominicks has coupon booklets "save up to $14" on toilettries. The booklets are all over the toilettries shelves in a bunch of places.
Dominicks also had blinkies for the Chi-Chi salsa ($1 off 2) but I think it is too late for the Meijer $1 salsa deal.
CVS also has DiGiorno Pizza $6.99 get the second for 1c and Dominicks has coupons for $1 off 2 stuck on the DiGiorno pizza freezer doors, so $3 for one, which is not bad.
Anybody in the Naperville area has seen the Burts Bees man soap bars on clearance somewhere? Trying to get them for my son who is allergic even to the Dove sensitive skin bars.
Thank you
nope... sobe at THIRD LAKE SAID NO WAY
even with my print out on there store policy the manager at THIRD LAKE CVS SAID he manager said "no"
and proceded to argue with me infront of 3 other customers...
Cereal Deal at Jewel
I did the cereal deal at Jewel today and found two boxes of Frosted Flakes 17oz that had a banner across the top stating Save $5 on Breakfast(or something like that). In the boxes they both had $5 worth of coupons. One had $1 off two boxes of frosted mini wheats, crispix, rice krispies, or corn flakes, $1 off fresh fruit with purchase of one box of cereal, $1 off twoo boxes raisin bran extra, frosted mini wheats little bites (choco or original), or corn flakes with touch of honey, $1 off two packages pop tarts 12ct, and $1 off Minute maid oj 64oz. The second had $1 off two apple jacks, fruit loops, or corn pops, $1 off milk with purchase of one box cereal, $1 off three packages 8 ct pop tarts, $1 off dannon danactive 4 or 8 pack, and $1 off two packages frosted flakes, honey smacks, or cocoa krispies. All of them expire March 31 2011. This was a nice surprise and I will be looking for more.
box coupons
Wow thanks! I also got 2 boxes 17oz frosted flakes, so I will definitely check for those coupons!
