Deals of the Week for April 18, 2011

Hello, Super-Couponers! What a fantastic week of sales! Jewel and Dominick’s are dueling it out to see who can run the most Catalina/Instant Savings sales this week, which equals great shopping opportunities all over town no matter where you go. Dominick’s, in particular, will shock you with how many products in their “Buy 4” sale are NOT in this week’s ad… but instead of getting to the store and wishing you’d known they were on sale too, you’ll get a full list of items and prices before you go… right here! (I do the hard work so that you don’t have to!) And, if you like shopping for FREE things too (and who doesn’t?) this week will also not disappoint.

I also spent most of last week in Atlanta at an industry coupon conference, and over the next few days I’ll be writing about some topics that are likely to interest to you. There’s a lot going on in “coupon world,” and I learned a great deal about current trends and practices in the industry and where the future of coupons is headed. Stay tuned for that later in the week though, because…

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 a whopping FOUR coupon inserts: Two SmartSource (SS1 and SS2) and two RedPlum (RP1 and RP2)

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 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)

First off, reader Avenger spotted a printable coupon for $2 off a $25 purchase at Jewel! Nice to have for some of the deals this week…

5ct. Allegra is on sale for $5. Use the $5 off any Allegra coupon from 4/17 SS2 and pay NOTHING! It’s FREE!

Note that this coupon is limit 1 per transaction.

Lawry’s Marinades (12oz.) are on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 4/17 RP1 and pay .50!

(Note that all of the flavors of Lawry’s do contain high-fructose corn syrup, for those who are avoiding that… EXCEPT for the “Original Seasoned Salt” flavor, which is made with sugar. Score!)

Birds Eye Steamfresh frozen vegetables (10-16oz.) are on sale for $1 each. Buy three and use the $1-off-3 coupon from 3/20 SS or 3/6 RP and pay $2 for 3, or .67 per bag! There’s also a .75-off-3 printable for more cheap veggies. (Or, grab them at Meijer, where they’re .89…)

Organic Valley half-gallons of organic milk are on sale for $3.59. Check your Catalinas from the past month – I have a small stack of $1.50-off-2s that will make this $2.84 a carton – good price for organic.

Page 4 of the weekly Jewel flyer has 12 coupons for a FREE dozen eggs when you buy 2 items. The cheapest way to do the deal is to buy 2 Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider (25.4oz.) for $2 each. Pay $4 for 2 bottles plus the eggs.

The “Buy 2 $3 Tropicana, get FREE eggs” is good too. Buy 2 Tropicana 59oz. cartons ($3) each. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 3/6 RP, pay $5, plus get the free eggs!

This week, we’ve got a new Buy 10, Save $5 instant-savings sale. Prices shown are AFTER the “Buy 10” savings. You MUST buy 10 (mix and match) of the featured products to receive the prices shown. Here are your products and matchups: Ajax Dishwashing liquid (34oz.) – $1.49 Dole Mandarin Oranges, Tropical Fruit Salad or Pineapple (14.5-20oz.) – .79 – .50 off 2 – 4/10 SS Green Mountain Coffee K-Cups (12ct.) – $6.49 Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (22-30oz.) – $2.99 – .75 off – 4/17 RP2 – $1 off Hellmann’s and Vlasic – March All You Hershey’s Easter Trays (6ct.) – $2.49 Idahoan Mashed Potatoes (4oz.) – .49 – $1 off 3 – printable, Target manufacturer coupon printable – .75 off 3 – printable Jell-O Gelatin, Pudding or Temptations (3-4 packs) – $1.99 Jewel Flour (5lb.) – $1.99 Jewel Powdered or Brown Sugar (32oz.) – $1.49 – Good price, even without a coupon Langers Juice Cocktail (64oz.) – $1.99 Nabisco Oreo Cookies (9.6-18oz.) – $1.99 – $1 off Oreo Fudge Creams – 4/17 SS1 – Look for tearpad coupons for milk AND Oreos on display in store Nabisco Ritz and Ritz Crackerfuls (6-16oz.) – $1.99 – $1.50 off Crackerfuls – 4/17 SS1 – EDIT: Many are reporting only getting a $1 Crackerfuls coupon. I did get the $1.50. We have -sometimes- (rarely!) seen differing amounts on the same coupon in relatively the same delivery area, and this may be one of those situations again. If you got the $1 coupon, you’ll pay .99. Nestle Morsels – $1.99 – $1 off 2 – 4/10 SS – $1.10 off 3 – printable Quaker Chewy Granola Bars (4.2-8.8oz.) – $1.99 – .75 off 2 – 3/13 RP Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned Oats (42oz.) – $2.49 – $1 off Old Fashioned Oats – 1/2 RP2 Quilted Northern Double Roll bath tissue (12ct.) – $5.99 Stove Top Stuffing (6oz.) – .99 – .50 off – 4/3 SS – Old tearpad coupons for buy 4, get the 5th free are still current if you have them

“Spend $12, Get $4” Nestle Ice Cream Catalina Sale ICE CREAM DEAL BACK AGAIN! Buying $12 worth of Nestle Ice Cream items shown on the back page of the weekly Jewel ad will generate a $4 Catalina. Here are your products and matchups: Edy’s Ice Cream – $3 Edy’s Fruit Bars 6-12ct. – $3 Edy’s Shakes or Smoothies – $2 Haagen-Dazs 14oz. Ice Cream or 3ct.

There’s always one “hot mover” in these kinds of sales, and this week, it’s going to be those Skinny Cows! If you’re a “Black Belt” coupon shopper, you’ve probably already spotted the deal…

The Skinny Cow sandwiches and bars have a regular price of $6.49, so buying two will put you over the $12 mark. With two $1 coupons, pay $6 and get a $4 Catalina — it works out to $2 for two, or just $1 per package! YUM!

POSSIBLE great diaper deal? Jewel is currently running a “Buy $20, Get $5 Catalina” on Pampers Diapers and Wipes through 4/20 (in the Thursday ad.) But, on 4/19, a new “Buy $30, get $10 Catalina” baby deal begins, which also includes Pampers diapers and wipes.

IF both are active on 4/19-4/20, buying $30 worth of selected Pampers would generate a $5 and a $10 Catalina. My ONLY concern with this is that the original alerts for the Pampers $20/$5 had the end date listed as 4/18, but the Thursday Jewel ad shows it running through 4/20. We won’t know until someone tries… stay tuned.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

1lb. packages of Jewel Butter Quarters are $1.99, limit 2 – GREAT price, and we haven’t seen butter this cheap in awhile. (Through 4/24/11.)

Gallon jugs of Shoppers Value Milk are $1.99 each, limit 2.

4lb. bags of Jewel Granulated Sugar are $1.99.

8oz. bars of Jewel Cream Cheese are .99.

Jewel Brown N’ Serve rolls (11oz., 12ct.) are .99 a package.

Jewel Gravy (12oz.) is .99 a jar.

Jewel margarine quarters (16oz.) are .99.

Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix (8.5oz.) is .50.

Minute Maid orange juice 64oz. cartons are $2.49 each.

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 yet? 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 & 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:

• There is a coupon on the front of Jewel’s Sunday ad for $9 off any brand Spiral, Shank, or Butt portion ham with coupon and a separate $20 purchase. Easiest ham deal? Buy the SMALLEST ham priced closest to $9 as you can, and pay as little as possible! Example – a $10.49 ham would be just $1.49 after coupon. If you don’t need a big ham for Easter, buy a smaller one to freeze. (The Dominick’s ad for this week has a $10 ham coupon with a $20 store purchase too.) I picked up a $12.82 ham for $3.82 with this coupon! (And then I went to Dominick’s and got another one..!)
• Jewel chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb.
• Hormel Always Tender Country Style Ribs are $1.99/lb. There’s a $1 coupon for Hormel Always Tender in the 2/13 SS that expires TODAY, April 18!
• Jewel boneless skinless chicken breasts are $1.99/lb.
• Jewel Italian Sausage or Bratwurst is $1.99/lb.
• Jennie-O frozen turkey breast is $1.99/lb.
• Aaron’s Kosher frozen turkeys are $1.99/lb.
• Leg of lamb is $4.99/lb. – still pricey, but a fair price for lamb, which doesn’t often go on sale
• Always a deal: Jewel-Osco has 1lb. chub packs of Carolina Ground Turkey in the freezer case for around $1.69, every day, at most locations.

Jewel produce deals:

• Sweet potatoes are .79/lb.
• Green beans are .99/lb.
• Broccoli crowns or cauliflower are $1.29/lb.
• Yellow squash or zucchini are $1.29/lb.
• Tomatoes on the vine are $1.49/lb.
• 16oz. bags of Glory Greens are $1.49
• 1lb. bags of brussels sprouts are $1.99.
• 1lb. containers of strawberries are $1.99.
• Whole pineapples are $1.99 each – GREAT price!

(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 now load these Super Coupons to your Fresh Values card via Dominicks.com and not have to clip them. Best bets this week?

In the April 14-April 20 flyer – “Great Prices!” on cover:

• Hot or Lean Pockets (6.5-9oz.) are on sale for $1.79, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy two Lean Pockets and use this $1.25-off-2 manufacturer coupon printable (from Target’s site) and pay $2.33 for two, or $1.17 each. There’s also a $1-off-3 coupon in the Dominick’s Frozen Food coupon book (in-stores) and a $1.50-off-3 Facebook printable.
   
• Florida’s Natural and Minute Maid orange juice (59-64oz.) are $2.49 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon.
   

In the April 17-April 24 flyer – “Low Prices on Everything for Easter” on cover:

• Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage (12oz. links or patties) are $2.49 each, limit 5, with Super Coupon. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 4/17 SS1, buy two and pay $1.99 per package!
   
• Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies are $1.99 a bag, limit 2, with Super Coupon. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from 2/13 SS. You’ll pay $2.98 for two, or $1.49 each…
   
• Safeway Aseptic Chicken or Beef Broth (32oz.) is .99, limit 6, with Super Coupon – great price. (“Aseptic” means sterilized in a way that does not require refrigeration…)
   
• Quaker Chewy Granola Bars are $1.77 a box, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy two and use the .75-off-2 coupon from 3/13 RP. You’ll pay $2.79 for two, or about $1.40 a box. Look for $1-off-2 peelies on the boxes too — I was pleasantly surprised to find those at my Dominick’s, as it made the deal even better…
   

This week, Dominick’s is running “Hoppin’ Daily Deals” – one-day deals on a specific item. This week…

Monday, April 18: 12-roll packs of Cottonelle Bath Tissue or 6-roll packs of Brawny paper towels are $4.88 each. Use the .50 coupons for both from 3/13 RP and pay $4.38. There’s also a .50 printable for the Cottonelle.

Tuesday, April 19: Ghirardelli Baking Morsels (10-11oz.) are $1.59 a bag, limit 2.

Wednesday, April 20: 4lb. bags of Safeway Granulated Sugar are $1.59 each – super price.

Just For U ecoupons on Dominicks.com worth checking out: Prego Pasta Sauce (23.5-24oz.) jars are $1.19 each, limit 2, and Nancy Martin 16oz. loaves of white or wheat bread are .59, limit 1.

Also, 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. There doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to what appears. This week, I have an ecoupon for a free 5.3oz. Dannon Greek Yogurt, AND an ecoupon for a free 12.5oz. can of Valley Fresh Canned Chicken White Breast Meat. (I have never bought this product in my life!) Another reader got a free Eating Right food item. Check those ecoupons!

B1G1F Deals! Both Oscar Mayer Bacon and Kraft shredded cheeses are on sale Buy One, Get One Free this week at Dominick’s. If you have lower “personalized prices” in your Just For U ecoupons, you can score some GREAT deals – readers are reporting some good buys. One said “Oscar Mayer is $3.88 a pack in Just FU– $1.94 each with the BOGO.” Another writes “$1.90 Kraft Cheese in JFU, and it’s B1G1F, so .95 a package!” Check your Just For U…

Little card deal: Dominick’s is offering $2 off your shopping trip (I’m assuming this is an instant-savings) when you buy 3 Hallmark cards. .99 cards are excluded from this particular offer, as are boxed cards. The offer is also limit 1 per transaction.

Itunes gift card deal: Dominick’s is selling the $60 iTunes gift card pack (four $15 gift cards) for $50. (Good price for teen Easter Basket stuffers…. or to have on hand for those parties your teen seems to get invited to, then remember to tell you about at the last minute. Can you tell I have a teenager in the house? :)

AND.. if you’re a rebater, and you’re buying at least 10 boxes of cereal this week, you will want to check out this $10 Kellogg’s mail-in rebate on SELECTED varieties of Kellogg’s cereal. My beautiful sister Lynn made a quick list of the cereals that double-dip both the sale and the rebate:

Corn Flakes
Crispix
Raisin Bran
Rice Krispies

You don’t even need a receipt – mail in 10 UPCs and get a $10 prepaid debit card. Better yet? You can submit up to FIVE rebates per household.

With most of the Kellogg’s coming out at $1.49 a box after coupons, sending 10 UPCs in for a $10 rebate will knock it to .49 a box – a nice price.

“Buy 2, Get 1 Free” Bright Green Products Sale Bright Green is Dominick’s house brand of environmentally-friendly products. We typically only see this sale once a year, so if you like any of these items, many of which are dye and fragrance-free, this is a great opportunity to stock up. The ad says this sale ends 4/20, but shelf tags state that the sale runs through 4/27. Here are your products and prices. Prices were gathered at the Carpentersville, Illinois store on 4/17/11. Bright Green All Purpose Dilutable Cleaner 32oz. – $3 Bright Green All Purpose Lemon Spray Cleaner 32oz. – $3 Bright Green Bathroom Tissue – 6 rolls – $3.99 Bright Green Bathroom Spray Cleaner – $2.99 Bright Green Chlorine-free Color-Safe Bleach – $1.99 Bright Green Dishwasher Detergent Packs 60ct. – $11.89 Bright Green Dishwasher Rinse Aid (16oz.) – $6.99 Bright Green Dishwashing Liquid – 24oz. – $2.99 Bright Green Fabric Softener (plant-based, lavender) – $4.99 Bright Green Glass Cleaner 32oz. – $3 Bright Green Napkins 200ct. – $1.99 Bright Green Non-Aerosol Furniture Polish – $3.50 Bright Green 45ct.

Deal ideas…

Nothing is super-cheap here, but these are your best bets:

– 3 Bright Green Color-Safe Bleach will cost $3.98 = about $1.33 each.

– 3 Bright Green Toilet Bowl Cleaners will cost $4.98 = $1.66 each.

– 3 Bright Green Fabric Softeners will cost $9.98 = about $3.33 each. Plant-based softeners rarely go on sale, so this is a fair price.

– 3 Bright Green Dishwasher Rinse Aids will cost $13.98, or $4.66 each — but they are BIG, 16oz. bottles. If you missed the super-cheap Jet Dry earlier this year, considering that’s about what the 8oz. bottles cost when they’re not on sale – this is also a fair price. I did this deal last year in the absence of other rinse aid deals, and for a store-brand product, it worked fine.

If you have any Catalina coupons for $1 off Bright Green products, don’t forget to use them. In past years, we’ve also seen $1 store coupons for Bright Green pop up in the ad and as ecoupons around Earth Day. This sale runs through 4/27, so any coupons that turn up will only make it better.

Coupon booklets currently found at Dominick’s

$42 Frozen Food Coupons – Just as the title says, it contains $42 worth of coupons for frozen food.

Dominick’s meat deals:

• There is a coupon on the front of Dominick’s Sunday ad for $10 off any brand Spiral, Shank, or Butt portion ham with coupon and a separate $20 purchase. Easiest ham deal? Buy the SMALLEST ham priced closest to $10 as you can, and pay as little as possible! Example – a $11.49 ham would be just $1.49 after coupon. If you don’t need a big ham for Easter, buy a smaller one to freeze. (I picked up a $12.84 ham for $2.84 after this coupon! And I got a bargain-priced ham at Jewel too, so now my freezer is happy.)

• Jennie-O Fresh Turkeys are $1.49/lb.
• Fresh Safeway chicken drumsticks, thighs or leg quarters are $1.49/lb.

You would think that you’d pay $1 for 15, or about .07 per packet … but as many have reported, this coupon automatically takes $1.25 off the total when it is scanned. That drops it to .25 for 15 envelopes, or about .02 each!

(And, if you’re not a Kool-Aid drinker, remember that they make lemonade mix packets too… just in time for the warmer weather that we wish would get here..!)

Kibbles N’ Bits dog food (16-17.6lb.) is on sale for $10.49. Use the $1.50 coupon from 4/17 RP1 and pay $8.99!

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.

Wrapping things up with Walmart…

Reader ktcat777 reports that Women’s Nivea body wash IS $3 at Walmart. With the $3 coupon from the 4/17 RP2, it’s FREE!

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Here’s a deal on Olivari Olive Oil! 22.5oz. bottles (big bottles!) are on sale for $8.15 at most stores. (Remember, regular prices can vary depending on location.)

Print this Buy One, Get One Free coupon, and you’ll take two bottles home for a little over $4 each.

(Note that this particular B1G1F coupon truly does ring off BOTH bottles of Olivari, and a $1 coupon cannot be used on the first bottle (the “Buy 1” bottle) in this scenario.

FREE Gain Dish Detergent: The P&G $110 Everyday Savings coupon mailer contains two current coupons for $1 off Gain Dish Detergent. Walmart sells Gain for .97 (exp. 4/30/11, 6/30/11)

---

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.)
