Is anyone tired of shopping yet? Whenever I hear the words "March Madness" in the news, I think of what shopping's been like for the past few weeks! I love a great deal, but this run of great sales has almost been exhausting! (Can there really be too much of a good thing?)
This week's newspaper contained three inserts: a SmartSource, a RedPlum, and a P&G. The Parade magazine also has manufacturer coupons in it, and the Wheatables coupon figures into this week's deals...

If you're new to the site, take a quick minute to read Using this site [4] and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon lingo and abbreviations.
[5]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 [6] 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!

IF YOU ARE A "BLACK BELT" COUPONER:
My black belt couponers [18] know that these deals typically work differently at Jewel than at any other store.
 VERY IMPORTANT: If you have never done a high-level Catalina deal at Jewel before, YOU MUST read this short overview of the way the price structure works. [19] In a nutshell, if you base your dollar-spent mark on the non-Preferred prices, you can save even more money and spend less out of pocket.
If this makes no sense or is the least bit confusing to you... do NOT do the deal in this way. These high-level Catalina deals can be very confusing, especially when you're new at this. If you are new, use the PREFERRED price only, and you'll get the Catalina every time. But if you're a "black belt" couponer and want to maximize your savings... here are some of the best deals. Again, if you use these scenarios and do not get your Catalina, DO NOT go to Customer Service and ask them to make it right for you. You WILL NOT have purchased what the ad states that you must. Again, YOU are taking the risk on these deals. You must be willing to accept ANY outcome without complaining, even if it means not getting any Catalinas at all. |
An all-Wesson-oil deal
Buy 5 Wesson Oil ($2.99 each)
Use one $1 Wesson coupon
Pay $13.95 and get $10 back! 5 bottles of Wesson for $3.95 - that's .79 each! A STEAL for cooking oil! With no coupons, pay $4.95 for 5 - still a ridiculously good deal!
_____________________________________________________
A massive ketchup stockup deal
Buy 17 Hunt's ketchups (.99 each)

With $1 coupon and three $2-off-2 coupons, pay $4.83 and get $10 back! MONEYMAKER popcorn!

_____________________________________________________
A soup-and-popcorn deal

OR, if you'd rather have more soup, you could do it this way:
Buy 8 cans Healthy Choice soup ($1.25 each)

Use 2 $1-off-4 coupons for soup and $2-off-2 coupon for popcorn.
Pay $9.38 and get $10 back! Soup-er moneymaker!

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE NEW... PLEASE, PLEASE do not use these scenarios if you are afraid of them not working for you. Understanding WHY things work this way and how the prices are structured is key to getting these deals right - and if you figure them wrong, you CANNOT go to the staff at your store and ask them to make it right. Be willing to "take one for the team..." or play it according to the ad, and you're guaranteed to get your Catalina each time.
Whew! Head spinning yet? Well, hold on to your chair, as we still have TWO major Catalina deals to get through this week at Jewel. The next is...

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' deals.)
Ready for some scenarios?
An easy Bounty deal

_____________________________________________________
IF YOU ARE A "BLACK BELT" COUPONER:
My black belt couponers [18] know that these deals typically work differently at Jewel than at any other store.
| VERY IMPORTANT, AGAIN: It is entirely up to you if you would like to work the deal in this way, but understand that IF you do, and the Catalina does not print, you can NOT go to the service counter and ask/demand that they reimburse you. You are working this sale in a different way than the ad specifies, and you're on your own if you choose to do this. Know that you are accepting ANY outcome, including getting NO Catalinas. |
An amazing Swiffer, Cascade and Crest deal:
Buy 1 Swiffer Dusters Extendable Handle Starter Kit ($7.99)

Pay $15.51 and get $10 back, PLUS a $1 YourBucks Catalina for buying 2 Maxwell House! $4.51 for all of that knocks your Maxwell House down to $2.26 each... and the rest of the "free" stuff is a bonus!
_____________________________________________________
A super shredded cheese deal
Buy 7 Kraft shredded cheeses ($2.49 each)
Use three $1-off-2 Blinkie coupons from dispenser in front of cheese.
Pay $14.43 and get $10 back! $4.43 for 7 bags of cheese is a good buy in my book! Remember, shredded cheese freezes very well too... IF you have any freezer space left!

Pay $17.92 and get $10 back! 8 bottles of Pantene for $7.92 is under a dollar each.
If you get multiple inserts, use four $3-off-2 coupons. Pay $11.92 and get $10 back! 8 Pantenes for $1.92 is even sweeter!

Deals continuing from last week:
Jewel's house brand of diapers, Baby Basics, are $7.99 a pack. Print this $4 coupon [33], and then print another $4 coupon at www.babybasicsclub.com [34]! These will cut the price in half to $3.99 a pack!
If you're a fan of Jewel's Wild Harvest line of organics, here's your chance to take some home cheap or FREE! Print this $1 off any Wild Harvest [35] coupon and look around the store -- there are MANY Wild Harvest products that sell for $1, or close to it -- crackers, cookies, organic produce... even reusable shopping bags.
Jewel meat deals:
- Jewel fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.29/lb
- Cook's fresh point-cut corned beef is $1.68/lb
- Fresh cut pork roast supreme or pork spare ribs 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.)

Buy 2 DiGiorno frozen pizzas ($3.99 each - $7.98 for two)
Pre-coupon total: $27.94

With two $1 CPK coupons and two $1 DiGiorno coupons, pay $23.94 and get a $10 Catalina for the frozen deal and a $3 Catalina for buying four CPK! That works out to $10.94 for SIX, very good, very yummy pizzas :)
With four $1 CPK coupons and two $1 DiGiorno coupons, pay $21.94 and get $13 back - $8.94 for six pizzas is $1.49 EACH!
_____________________________________________________
CONTINUING FROM LAST WEEK:
A "Time to squeeze even more cheap stuff into your full freezer" scenario
Buy 2 Smuckers Uncrustables ($5)
Buy 1 Yoplait Smoothies ($3)
Buy 1 El Monterey Burritos ($3)
Buy 2 Pillsbury Toaster Strudel ($5)
Buy 1 Jones Frozen Sausage ($2)
Buy 1 Sara Lee Frozen Poundcake ($3.99)
Buy 2 Green Giant Boxed Frozen Vegetables ($3.38)
Total: $25.37
Use two $1 Uncrustables coupons, one $1 Yoplait coupon, one $1.50 El Monterey coupon, one .55 Toaster Strudel coupon, one $1 Jones coupon, one $1 Sara Lee coupon, and one .50 Green Giant coupon. Load Cellfire and Shortcuts .50-off-2 ecoupons for Green Giant. Pay $16.82 and get $10 back! Ten products for just $6.82 works out to .68 each!
_____________________________________________________
A so-so-all-vegetables deal
Buy 14 Green Giant boxed vegetables ($26.60)
Use AS MANY .50 off 2 and .60 off 3 coupons as you have.
Load .50-off-2 coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts.
With 7 .50-off-2 coupons, pay $22.10 and get $10 back. 14 boxes for $12.10 is .86 a box.
(YES, we have and will see these cheaper than this in the future. But if you like and want these... that's about the best we have at the moment.)
Or...
_____________________________________________________
A better all-vegetables deal with NO coupons
Buy 10 bags of Safeway Frozen Vegetables ($25)
Pay $25 and get $10 back = $15 for 10 bags.
While this doesn't seem all that hot, remember that these are 32-ounce (2lb) bags. $1.50 a bag for 2 lbs. of frozen vegetables is a good price. Not great, but certainly good.
_____________________________________________________
And, for those die-hard people who chased the Jewel Preferred Card Update promo around the suburbs throughout 2009, if you did the Update a ridiculous amount of times, you just might have enough coupons for this next, wild scenario:
A "You have HOW many Jewel Update Books?" sausage deal
Buy 13 boxes of Jones Frozen Sausages ($26)
Use 13 $1 coupons from Jewel Preferred Update book
Pay $13 and get $10 back! 13 boxes of sausages for $3!
(Yeah... highly unlikely. BUT, that $1 coupon is an excellent one to work into a mix & match on other products here.)
If you did the $25/$10 P&G Catalina at Dominick's within the last two weeks, you CAN roll that $10 Catalina into this new frozen food deal -- a great way to reduce your out-of-pocket total even more. Be aware that the $10 Catalina you get from this new frozen food deal specifies it is good on your next purchase of FROZEN FOOD. The plus? You can keep rolling it back into this frozen deal.
But if you're done rolling frozens and want a good way to use up that last frozen Catalina, you might like this scenario that I did:
A use-up-a-$10 Frozen Food Doms Catalina on some other cheap frozen stuff deal
12-ounce boxes of Mama Lucia frozen meatballs are on sale for $1.99. (While my normal benchmark for meats is $1.99 a pound, and these are slightly smaller than that, it's still an excellent price for meatballs.)
So, buy 5 boxes of Mama Lucia meatballs ($9.95.) We're very close to using up that $10 Frozen Food Catalina. However, that extra .05 still MUST be spent on frozen food too (I know, I know.) So...
Add one Banquet chicken or beef pot pie - .88 each.
Total: $10.83. Roll that $10 Frozen Food Catalina in, pay .83, and you've taken home more cheap frozen food... AND gotten rid of your Catalina. Worked for me! :)
Moving beyond the Catalina craziness, here are other little Dom's deals worth noting:
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 bet?
- Comet cleanser is .89 with Super Coupon, limit 4. Stack it with a .35 coupon from 1/24 SS, 10/11/09 SS, or 8/2/09 SS and pay .54 a can.
- If you celebrate Passover, there are also quite a few coupon for kosher and Passover products in the flyer too. Many readers have written to note that it's difficult to save on Passover foods, so these may help you in your holiday preparations
.
Dominick's meat deals:
- Fresh Perdue whole chickens are .79/lb
- Rib Pork Loin chops are $1.29/lb.
- Safeway boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.99/lb
- Rancher's Reserve boneless beef chuck roast is $1.99/lb.
Dominick's produce deals:
- Fuji apples are .99/lb - EXCELLENT price
- Granny Smith apples are $1.29/lb.
- Strawberries are $1.88 for a 16oz. package - also a GREAT price.
- Asparagus is $1.29/lb. Use this .50 coupon [40] and pay .79/lb! (Who says there aren't coupons for produce?)
- 8lb. bags of Navel oranges are $3.99
*A note on Dominick's Super Coupons: Dominick's has changed their policy on minimum purchases for "Super Coupons." You'll remember that the old policy stated that the $10 or $20 minimums were based on the regular, non-sale, non-Fresh Values prices of the products:
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.
Got that? Now look at the new policy on Dominick's site [41]:
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 after your Club Card discount is applied. For example, the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (after Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon.
This policy change is certainly a disappointing turn of events, to say the least...
Heading over to Meijer, we continue to have a small break from the Catalina insanity (is that good or bad?) Here's a quickie list of Meijer's best deals this week:
Bumble Bee Chunk White Tuna is on sale for .67 a package. Use the .55 coupon from 2/21 SS and pay just .12!
Nabisco Wheat Thins are on sale for $2. Use the $1 coupon from 1/24 SS and take them home for $1
Land O' Frost sliced lunchmeat is on sale for $3 for a 1lb. package. Print this $2 coupon [42] and take it home for $1! A dollar for a pound of lunchmeat is a fabulous price...
Here's a good deal on Ocean Spray Cranberry Juices. They're on sale for $2 each. If you picked up some of the "Value Your Heart [26]" coupon books at Jewel last month, there's a manufacturer coupon inside for $1 off 2 Ocean Spray juices. Stack this with the $1-off-2 Meijer Mealbox [43] coupon, buy 2, and pay just $1 each!
And, if you have the same "Value Your Heart" coupon book from Jewel, and you like oatmeal, you'll want to cut the $2-off-2 Quaker Oatmeal coupon out too. It's on sale at Meijer for $1.88 a box. Buy two, use coupon, pay .88 a box! There's also a $1 coupon in the 2/7 RP for more cheap oatmeal!
If you didn't use the good Buy One, Get One Free Stayfree coupon in the 1/3 RP insert, this would be a good week to use it at Meijer. Stayfree pads are on sale for $3.12, Buy Two, Get One Free. Buy 3, use the coupon, and you'll buy ONE, getting TWO free! Pay $3.12 for all 3 packs, or just $1.04 each!
Suave shampoo and lotions are on sale 3-for-$5. (Wait, that's NO deal if you've been to Jewel lately. Just seeing if you're paying attention! LOL!)
Meijer ALSO has a frozen food Catalina deal running (and at this point, I have to confess, I have logged more hours in this week's Deals writeup than ANY other deal in my eighteen-plus months of blogging Deals of the Week.) This one's not as hot as the Jewel and Doms' deals, nor are there many good matchups, so I'll be brief...
| Meijer is running a "Spend $20, get $5" Catalina on frozen food. Here are your matchups:
Boston Market dinners or pot pies - $2.19 DiGiorno Original 12" Pizza - $5 Totino's Pizza Rolls 40ct. - $2.50 (that IS cheap for the big bag) Stouffer's Party Size Lasagna or Chicken Enchiladas - $9.99 Dean's Ice Cream - $3 Tyson Frozen Boneless Chicken Strips and Nuggets - $3.99 |
You know the drill by now... mix, match, get to $20, get $5 :)
Meijer meat deals:
- Pork shoulder bone-in Western style ribs are .99.lb
- Boneless beef chuckeye roast is $2.19/lb (a little over my benchmark, but still a fair price)
Meijer produce deals:
- Peaches,nectarines, or plums are .99/lb
- Red, Anjou or Bosc pears are $1.18/lb
- Strawberries are $2 for a 1lb. container
- 2lb. bags of lemons or limes are $2 - VERY cheap!
- California seedless navel oranges are $2.50 for a 5lb. bag
- 10lb. bags of russet potatoes are $1.99
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. AND, if you shop at the Illinois NILES Meijer location, they haven't been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers, under the convoluted reasoning that because the store is new, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

Continuing from last week... Personal care freebies! One of the constants of being a coupon shopper is that you rarely, if ever, pay for ANY personal care products, and this holds true with our next two Hilander deals!
Reach dental floss is also on sale for $1. There are lots of coupons current for this -- any $1 coupons from 1/3 RP, 10/18/09 RP, or 10/4/09 RP will have you taking these home FREE!

Numerous readers have reported seeing Gillette Men's Body Wash on sale for $1.99 -- it's usually on an endcap and not with the other body washes. This item pairs nicely with the $2 off Gillette Men's Body Wash coupons in 2/7 PG and 3/7 PG!
Keebler Wheatables crackers are $1.99. Use the $1 coupon in the Parade Magazine from Sunday's paper and take them home for .99!
Anyone who's taken my Super-Couponing class knows how much I love free Johnson & Johnson's Buddies baby soaps! This week's 3/7 RP has a $1 coupon for any Johnson's Baby product (1/3 RP has the same coupon if you haven't used it yet.) But why stop there? Here's another $1 printable [11]... and yet another $1 printable! [46] Yes, that's a lot of free soap!
Note that because the soaps sell for .97 at Target, the coupons will beep. The cashier can either choose to allow the .03 overage or adjust the value of the coupon down to .97. Strangely, many Target cashiers don't know how to do this, but it's addressed right in their coupon policy on Target.com [47]. Print and carry a copy with you if you anticipate any issues.
AT SOME STORES: Special K Fruit Crisps (fruit-filled wafers) are ringing up at $1.27 a box (may not be marked on shelf - check with price scanner.) When you buy 5, you'll get a $5 Target gift card (on many Kellogg's products too, through 3/13.)
Even with no coupons, this is a good deal - pay $6.35 for 5 boxes and get $5 back! But with coupons, it's even better. 2/21 RP has a .75 coupon. Print another .75 coupon here [46], a $1 off coupon [48] here and another $1 off coupon here [49]. (Remember to print 2 from each link!)
With one .75 coupon and four $1 coupons, pay $1.60 and get a $5 gift card! Moneymaker Special K!
Thanks to forum reader SavingGuru for spotting this deal!
Continuing from last week, some stores are carrying a new Gillette Fusion razor at Target. It's in a cardboard package vs. the larger plastic bubble, and it's value-priced at $4.99! If your Target has these, use the $4 coupon from 2/7 PG and take it home for .99!
Over at Kmart, they are ALSO having a high-value Catalina deal this week involving numerous cleaning and paper products!
| Kmart is running a "Spend $20, get $5 OR Spend $30, get $10 Catatalina deal.
What's interesting about this sale is that the ad states "Offer is good on ANY size, scent or variety of these featured brands," and then goes on to list the brands, noting that there are over 165 included items. No worrying about UPC lists or spreadsheets here! Here are your matchups. (Note that the ad features VERY few prices - I've noted them here. If you come up with a good scenario, please feel free to post and share it!)

While we're on the topic, Kmart's Super Double Coupons event is scheduled to return 4/4-4/10! More on that as we get closer... but this is a FUN event for Chicagoans, as we have NO double coupon promotions in our immediate area other than this. And, this Catalina sale runs through 4/12/10! So we'll have some overlap between the Catalina and the double coupons early next month.
Drugstore Deals
Heading to Walgreens, Coffee-Mate creamer is cheap! It's on sale for $1.50. Use the .75 coupon from 2/7 RP and pay just .75!
Here's a good deal on Vicks and Puffs IF you get multiple inserts and haven't done it already. (I've posted numerous variations on this deal since January each time it's rolled around.)
This time, Vicks NyQuil and DayQuil are on sale for $4.49 each. Buy $20 worth and get $10 back in RR. So, you'll need to buy 5 bottles ($22.45.)
Use as many $1.50 off Vicks coupons as you have - they're in the 3/7 PG and 2/21 PG. Also, you'll want to use the "Buy 2 Vicks, get free Puffs" coupon from 2/7 PG.
With two $1.50 coupons and one free Puffs coupon, buy 5 Vicks and 1 Puffs. Pay $19.45 and get $10 back. Your Vicks works out to $1.89 each!
Where this deal really shines... if you have five $1.50 coupons and two free Puffs coupons, buy 5 Vicks and 2 Puffs. Pay $14.95 and get $10 back. Now the Vicks is .99 a bottle... and you get two free Puffs too!
ANOTHER WAY TO DO THE DEAL: Forum reader Tctbtob noted that the $1.50 Vicks coupons are good on "any Vicks product," and Vicks cough drops are on sale for .99 a bag, or two for $1.79. (Note that the cashier may adjust the coupon down, or you may get overage.) Buy 2 bags of cough drops -- they'll be free -- AND get FREE Puffs with the other coupon for purchasing 2 Vicks products! Very nice deal!
While we coupon shopper can often get FREE shampoo pretty regularly (see Jewel this week) the salon/professional brands don't go on sale quite as often... until now. John Frieda shampoos and hair care are on sale for $5.99. Use the Walgreens coupon in the March coupon booklet (on the wire racks at the front of the store) and stack it with the $2 manufacturer coupon from 3/7 SS... for some .99 "expensive" shampoo!
Forum reader Brc found a nice deal to net you FREE Post cereal. Post Grape-Nuts and Shredded Wheat are on sale for $1.75 each. Print this $2 coupon [50] for Post Cereal... and take it home FREE! (Note again that the cashier may adjust the coupon down, or you may get overage.)
And finally, over at CVS, Nivea Lip Care is an easy freebie! Buy one at $2.99 and get $2.99 back in ECBs! Free Nivea!
Let's not stop there... because we like more free things! Oral B toothbrushes are on sale for $4 with $4 back in ECBs. FREE... but we can make these moneymakers with the .75 coupons in 2/21 PG and 2/7 PG! These are limit 2, so pick up two and make $1.50 on your free toothbrushes :)
Gillette Fusion razors are on sale for $8.99 with $4 back in ECBs. Use the $4 coupon from 2/7 PG, pay $4.99 and get $4 back. Enjoy your .99 razor!
If you have the "Refresh Your Nest" P&G coupon book (home mailer,) there's a $1 coupon inside for Dawn Hand Renewal dish detergent. Dawn is on sale this week for .97 at CVS, and Hand Renewal is usually included. FREE dish soap! The 3/7 PG also has .50 off Dawn Hand Renewal if you'd like more at .47 a bottle...
Kellogg's cereals are pretty cheap at CVS this week too. They're on sale for $2.50 each. Buy 4 and get $5 back in ECBs. Use two $1.50-off-2 printables [46], pay $7 and get $5 back - that works out to .50 a box. If you need cereal, this is not a bad price!
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!

* (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 [25] 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.)
