Special thanks to Dragonfly and Barb for the coupon list. All expire 10/31/11 and most are manufacturer coupons.

Jewel-Osco information:

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? Jewel regularly sends out coupons to match with their current sales, and often they’re store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!

Jewel meat deals:

• Jewel whole fryer chickens are .99/lb.
• Perdue Oven Stuffer roasters are $1.49/lb.
• Cut-up fryers are $1.49/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• Green cabbage is .49/lb.
• Green beans are $1.49/lb.
• Eggplant is $1.49/lb.
• Dinosaur egg pluots are $1.49/lb.
• Yellow flesh peaches or nectarines are $1.49/lb.
• Red Delicious apples are $1.49/lb
• 1lb. containers of Driscoll’s Strawberries are $2 each. Use this .50 printable and pay $1.50/lb.
• Vine ripe tomatoes are $1.99/lb.
• Northwest cherries are $2.99/lb.

(Anytime meat is under $2 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry) it’s a buy in my book, because $2 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices. This is also true for most produce. Seafood, by its nature, is more expensive per pound, but a good “buy” benchmark is $4 per pound or less.)

Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | a href=”https://www.dominicks.com”>Load Dominick’s Just For U ecoupons

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 is also offering Deal Match, where you can load price-matching offers from Jewel and Target to your Fresh Values Card. Try it at www.Dominicks.com.

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

In the Aug. 11-Aug. 17 flyer – “Try Deal Match” on cover:

• There’s a $5 off $15 frozen food coupon on the back page of the weekly ad. It excludes frozen meat seafood, deli or bakery items.
   
• Pillsbury Cookie Dough or Sweet Moments are $1.99 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Use a $1 coupon for the Sweet Moments (printable, printable, printable) and pay .99! Or, buy the cookie dough and use a .50 coupon (printable, printable, printable) – you’ll pay $1.49.
   
• Selected General Mills cereals are $1.99 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon. This overlaps with the “Buy 4, Save $4” instant-savings sale going on this week at Dominick’s. Use coupons to drop this even more…
  – $1 off 2 – 7/10 SS, printable
  – $1 off 3 – 8/7 GM, printable, printable.
  After a $1-off-2 coupon, you’re taking home .49 cereal! I’ll have some more deal ideas below for this one too.
   

In the Aug. 14- Aug-17 flyer – “4 Day Sale” on cover:

• Skippy Peanut Butter (15-16.3oz.) is $1.69, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy two and stack this with the $1-off-2 coupon from 7/31 RP1. You’ll pay $2.38 for two, or $1.19 each!
   
• Sunshine Cheez-It crackers (10.5-14oz.) are $1.99, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy two and stack that coupon with this $1-off-2 printable. You’ll pay $2.98 for two, or $1.49 each!
   
• Cascade dishwasher detergent (45-75oz., 16-20ct. action pacs) are on sale for $4.49, limit 2, with Super Coupon. Use the $1 coupon from 7/31 PG and pay $3.49!
   

Coupon books to look for at Dominick’s: “Make a Muscle, Make a Difference” ($39 worth of coupons)

MONDAY ONLY: Lucerne 18ct. eggs are on sale for $2.

Let’s dig in even more to the “Buy 4, Save $4” instant-savings sale. This week’s ad shows a variety of General Mills cereals, Fiber One bars, and Betty Crocker fruit snacks on sale.

Get ready for a cereal stockup, because it’s going to be cheap! The weekly ad has a store coupon that knocks the price of Kix, Lucky Charms, or Cookie Crisp to $1.99 a box. If you sign onto www.Dominicks.com and click “Deal Match,” you’ll see Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms and Cheerios also priced at $1.99 per box. Add this Deal Match to your Fresh Values card via the site.

Now, buy 4 of any of those. The instant-savings sale will take $4 off for every four, dropping these cereals to a cool .99 per box… and that’s -before- coupons…

Here are your coupons:

– Cheerios (8.9oz.)
– $1 off 2 – 7/10 SS, printable
– $1 off 3 – 8/7 GM, printable, printable
– Cocoa Puffs (11.8oz.)
– .75 off – 7/17 SS, printable
– Lucky Charms (11.5oz.)
– $1 off 2 – 7/10 SS, printable
– $1 off 3 – 8/7 GM, printable, printable

With two $1-off-2 coupons, you’ll pay $1.96 for four boxes of cereal, or .49 each!

EDIT: A reader has noted Lucky Charms is NOT triggering the “Buy 4 Save $4” savings.

Reader Megan writes that Chex cereals are $1.49 after instant-savings, and the gluten-free varieties are included too! With this .75 printable, you’ll pay .74 per box! Very good price for gluten-free cereal (and for cereal in general, lately…)

Here’s a deal on Gain dish detergent and laundry detergent! This is a fun double-dip deal. Dominick’s has an instant-savings deal running on Gain products — buy three and receive $3 in instant-savings. This also overlaps with a national Catalina deal on Gain too. When you buy 3 Gain products, one of which is laundry detergent, you’ll get a $3 Catalina too!

Here are your products and matchups. Prices were gathered by readers at the Crystal Lake and Oswego Dominick’s:

Gain 28oz. (large-size) dishwashing liquid – $1.99 (.99 after instant)
– .50 off – 8/14 RP

Gain 40-load powdered laundry detergent – $6.99 ($5.99 after instant)
– $2 off – 7/17 SS

Gain 32-load liquid laundry detergent – $5.99 ($4.99 after instant)
– $1 off – 8/14 RP

Gain 60-load liquid fabric softener – $3.99 ($2.99 after instant)
– .50 off – 7/10 RP

Ready for a scenario?

Buy 2 large Gain dish detergents ($1.99 each) plus 1 powder Gain ($6.99)
Total: $10.97
Minus $3 instant savings (now $7.97)
Minus two .50 Gain dish liquid coupons (8/14 RP) and one $2 Gain powdered detergent coupon (7/17 SS) – (now $4.97)
Pay $4.97 and get a $3 Catalina… $1.97 for all!

That’s a GREAT price for the Gain laundry detergent, plus “free” dish soap. The powdered Gain has more loads and is a better buy quantity-wise, but if you prefer liquid, you can do the same deal with the $5.99 liquid Gain laundry detergent and the $1 coupon outlined above.

Special thanks to readers Tnovak, Cathy705, Dancingwolves, and Momof4 for putting this deal together on the fly (and if you’ve ever wondered how some of these deals get put together, this one came together on a Saturday night in the Forum…)

Here’s a Dominick’s Just For U deal on Ragu pasta sauce. If you log into Just For U at www.dominicks.com, you’ll see an offer for Ragu at .99 a jar, limit 4. Add this to your Fresh Values card, and then use the $1-off-2 coupon from 7/31 RP. Buy two and pay .98 for two, or .49 each!

Palermo’s Primo Thin Crust Pizzas (14.55-19.1oz.) are on sale for $3.99 each. Buy two and use this $1-off-2 printable. You’ll pay $6.98 for two, or $3.49 each – not a bad price for these.

If you haven’t yet signed up for the “Just For U“ electronic discounts that you can load to your Dominick’s Fresh Values card, you may want to. For registering your card, you’ll receive an ecoupon for a FREE 12-ct. Lucerne large eggs! You’ll also activate a set of electronic discounts that are tied to your card for the next 90 days.
