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.
A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on some Chicagoland stores, the Kroger, Target, Walgreens and CVS deals apply nationally. And, if you’re shopping at a SuperValu or Safeway store you may find similar sales to our Jewel-Osco and Dominick’s deals. Welcome, and enjoy!
and the drugstore/general merchandise store deals run through Saturday.
“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, it’s best to subscribe to the paper that contains the highest-value coupons.)
They are now offering discount subscription codes for MULTIPLE newspapers to the same address! (Link opens in new window.)
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Hilander (Schnucks) | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
Grocery Deals
Starting at Jewel-Osco… View weekly ad | Load SavingStar ecoupons
IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: All Jewel locations have updated their cash registers to a new system. If you are using TWO coupons on a Buy One, Get One Free sale, the register is currently scanning the second coupon as $0.00. The register will not beep and you will have no way of knowing your coupon’s value did not get recognized unless you are watching closely. Jewel is working on a solution to this problem and I have a response from corporate here indicating that their two-coupons-on-a-B1G1F policy has NOT changed. Watch your registers.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: Jewel-Osco has discontinued its Avenu ecoupons as of 6/18/12. The ecoupons you can currently use with Jewel-Osco now are via SavingStar and Jewel-Osco’s new ecoupons. Note that the ecoupons you can load to card are often the same as the ones you can print at Coupons.com. If you print them, you get two prints, but if you load them, you only get ONE. Just an FYI.
Jewel-Osco information:
Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? At times, Jewel sends out coupons to match with their current sales, and often they’re store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!
Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | Load Dominick’s Just For U ecoupons and Deal Match offers
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, 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.
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 | Load Meijer Mperks ecoupons
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 typically haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers.
Heading over to Kroger… View weekly ad | Load Kroger ecoupons | Load SavingStar ecoupons | Load Cellfire ecoupons | Load ShortCuts ecoupons | Load PGEsaver.com ecoupons
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
Here are your Hilander deals (also running at Logli and Schnucks)… View weekly ad | Load “Schnupons” ecoupons
The Rockford-area Logli stores share the same ad as Hilander (Schnucks) now, so these deals apply at the four Rockford-area Logli stores as well. The current ad is good through Tuesday, August 7th.
Off to Target…
View weekly ad | Print store coupons from Target.com …
Target Notes:
You get .05 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use. If you pay with the Target credit or debit card, you receive another 5% off.
Drugstore Deals
Heading to Walgreens (View weekly ad | On Fridays, preview next week’s ad)…
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE WALGREENS AD: Walgreens is no longer putting its entire ad in the paper newspaper version. There are online-only ad pages that you can look at via this link: View weekly ad
And finally, over at CVS (View weekly ad) | Load SavingStar ecoupons
CVS Tips: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you! You may want to scan your coupon more than once – it’s been printing different coupons on subsequent scans!
And, if you haven’t already, make sure your CVS ExtraCare card is registered for the CVS Beauty Club before you do any deals involving beauty products. It gives you $5 in ECBs for every $50 you spend on beauty products, and it is cumulative, meaning you don’t have to spend $50 in one trip. It keeps track for you and will automatically print ECBs on your next visit to the store when you reach a $50 threshold.

Wrapping things up with Walmart…
Policies to know:
- Walmart will price match any competitor’s advertised price. Bring the other store’s flyers with you to the store. While the policy doesn’t require this, it does speed the price-matching along.
- 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 would print a copy and carry a copy of the coupon policy with you if you anticipate any issues.
I do not blog Walmart deals each week unless there is a weekly ad with noteworthy deals. 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.
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Hilander (Schnucks) | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Free |

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: If you like coupons, you will probably really enjoy it. It’s an inexpensive magazine ($2.49 an issue) that is filled with many coupons each month. Subscribing via the pink banner on the right drops the price to $1.67 per issue. 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.)

Can you say 6 Free soaps and $$$ for next purchase from CVS. I LOVE CVS!!!
nix12618 says
Hey Jill, You have 2.99 Speed Stick at CVS with $1 off with a coupon. Walgreens has Speed Stick/Lady on sale for 1.99 and with the $1 off coupon it would only be .99.
Just thought you’d want to know…..Thx
Nix
mocars2 says
I printed the coupon and it says it’s for Breakfast blends. I haven’t looked at the Ad. Are the breakfast blends on sale for $1.88 and has anyone tried them? If so, are they any good?
Boscobud says
I went to Walgreens and I had $10 in cats. I wanted to use a $2 manufactures coupon for Childrens Claritin. Well the sales clerk told me the register wouldn’t accept all of my coupons for one item. As a matter of fact I could only use one coupon.
nbente says
So I pick up a candy thats like a quarter or so (near register) and then u can use a RR (register reward) and an item coupon– coupons can not exceed amount of items purchased (except as previously stated)! Hope this is helpful and if anyone knows any different then this- please inform as I have been explained the same situation from store policy.
gaica75 says
Hi Jill, thanks for the match-ups! You put some of the Sally Hansen deal under the Revlon deal for CVS. I think we can figure it out with the coupons you listed but just a heads up. Thanks again!
iluv2save2 says
Where did you find the Lysol wipes $2 off 2 coupon you mentioned in the Jewel section? I couldn’t find it in my Sunday paper inserts.
ymacorr says
Is this advertised somewhere? I bought two Edy’s today and didn’t get the $2 Cat. I am OK with it because we needed some ice cream anyway but where can I find info?
heffsgirl910 says
Tried to get the Walmart printable for 1$ adidas deodarant…no longer available. FYI
meh2beh says
Where can i find the rebate form for the olay? Thanks
jessicainstcharles says
This week, the ad has the Scope listed on sale 2/$6 with a $3RR. Last night they were ringing up as BOGO 50% off. So with 2 .75 cent coupons from 07/29 P&G, I paid $3 and got $3 RR. Free Scope!
meh2beh says
Just an fyi… the good and natural bars are also on sale at cvs at 0.99. Just in case walgreens ran out of it.
bookmaven says
for Hormel products this week. Hormel Chili with Beans was $1.78 in my J4U this week. I bought 4 and got $4.00 off, then used the $1/2 July All You coupon to it down to $.53 per can. Seemed like a good price. Too bad I didn’t have 2 coupons, but I was happy with the deal.
Also, I bought 4 boxes of Chex cereal, which brings the price down to $1.49 each. Plus I used 2 coupons totaling $1.50 off. Each Chex was $1.09.
schzac says
I bought a 12-pack of 7up and a 12-pack of Dr. Pepper at Jewel yesterday, but the $2 Catalina didn’t print. Took the receipt to customer service, she looked at the ad and said there was nothing listed, so I ended up returning the 12-packs.
Also, I looked several times but didn’t find the $1-off Dr Pepper in the 6/24 SS, nor the $1 off 2 General Mills cereals in the 7/15 SS. Has anyone else found these? Am I doing something wrong? We’re all getting the same coupon inserts in the Chicago Tribune, right?
firegod97 says
Jill,
I click on the link and go to the “Let’s Play” website, but can’t find where the coupons are located.
Thanks!
booksbywendy says
Jill, what coupon are you referring to?
