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 lingo and abbreviations.

It’s a good idea to save the grocery and drugstore flyers 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 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. 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. Also, look for promotional/seasonal coupon books in your local stores — I’ll reference these too when applicable.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel…

First off, Jewel has a 2-day sale that ends TODAY. If you want any of these items, scoot right out the door for…

Wonderful Pistachios – a 10oz. bag is on sale for $1.99, limit 3. Use this $1 coupon (you can print 2!) and take these home for .99 – a STEAL!

Coca-Cola product 2-liters are .88 each, limit 10. Many stores have tearpads in front of the Coke for FREE Vienna Beef Franks when you buy 5 Coke 2-liters. So, $4.40 for 5 Cokes AND a pack of hot dogs. Not bad!

O-Ke-Doke 8-9oz. bags of popcorn and cheese corn are $1.88 a bag, limit 4. Thr 5/9 SS insert has a $1-off-2 coupon. Buy two and pay $2.76 for both, or $1.38 a bag.

Jewel 20-ounce loaves of bread are .88 each, limit 4.

Here’s a freebie! Febreze Noticeables air fresheners are on sale for $2.50. Use the $3 coupon from 8/1 PG and get one FREE! Note that this item is also included in the $30/$10 P&G Catalina/gift card sale (read below) … AND also note that Febreze Noticeables are also no longer being carried in many Jewel-Osco stores as they were recently clearanced out. Just an FYI – I’ve been receiving email all weekend from people complaining that their stores are telling them they’re no longer carrying these. (But please don’t complain to me – complain over here.)

Prego pasta sauce is super-cheap too! It’s on sale for .99 a jar, limit 2. Use this $1 off 2 printable and pay .98 for TWO, or .49 a jar!

The entire line of Neutrogena Makeup is on sale 40% off, with many items priced around $4.49. Use the $3 Neutrogena coupon from August All You and pay $1.49! There are additional Neutrogena $2 and $1 coupons in 8/1 SS if you like their products.

Michelina’s frozen entrees are $1 each. Use the $1-off-5 coupon from 5/9 SS or a printable, buy 5 and pay .80 each!

Here’s another freebie! Athenos Hummus dips are on sale for $3.99, Buy One, Get One Free. Use this B1G1F coupon, buy two, and get BOTH free!

Mini Super-Couponing lesson: Why does this work? When you use a B1G1F coupon during a B1G1F sale, you will buy none and get two free. Here’s why… and remember, it’s important to think of your coupons AS cash. If you walk into the store and give them $3.99 in cash, how many packages of Athenos will that pay for? Two — because the store is selling you two for $3.99. Now, look at your B1G1F coupon. What is its value? Up to $5.49. Think of coupon as stating “up to $5.49 off two packages of Athenos,” and when the price of two packages of Athenos is $3.99… the coupon’s up-to-$5.49 value pays the entire price. You WILL pay tax on the pre-coupon price, as always… but both item will be free.

It’s important to note too that you do not get coupon overage with a free or B1G1F coupon when the value is “up to $5.49.” Legally, the cashier must enter the price of the first item, which in this case is $3.99. The store’s B1G1F sale makes the second item FREE. If you like learning coupon tips like these, check out my Super-Couponing workshop or DVD!

No Coupons Needed” deals:

16oz. sticks of Blue Bonnet Margarine are .99…

Jewel 6ct. English Muffins are $1.29 in the bread aisle (refrigerated varieties are $1.50)…

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list yet? If not, you’re missing out on some GREAT coupons! Jewel has been making coupons available for everything from meats to party trays to free bread and free produce over the past few weeks. I’m impressed with the nice coupons Jewel has been sending to their email subscribers lately & would highly recommend getting on their list if you shop there.

The hot coupon sent to subscribers this week? .50 off VitaminWater. VitaminWater is on sale for .88 a bottle. With this coupon, it’s just .38 a bottle. Make this coupon even better by stacking it with the $1-off-2 Vitamin Water manufacturer coupon from August All You. Buy 2 bottles and pay .26 for both, or .13 each!

Note that this coupon is one per TRANSACTION, so you cannot use two .50 store coupons here for overage.

Coupon booklets currently found at Jewel

Kellogg’s Fuel For School $20 coupon books – on a school-bus cardboard display at many stores — here’s a list of what’s inside.

Jewel meat deals:

• Perdue fresh whole roaster chickens are $1.49/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• California picked-ripe peaches or nectarines are .99/lb.
• Imported large navel oranges are $1.29/lb.
• Michigan green beans are $1.29/lb.
• Large red delicious apples are $1.49/lb.
• Zucchini or yellow squash are $1.49/lb
• White flesh peaches or nectarines are $1.99/lb.
• Pluots or picked-ripe plums are $1.99/lb.
• Green seedless grapes are $1.99/lb.
• Beefsteak tomatoes are $1.99/lb.
• Illinois sliced white mushrooms are $1.99 for an 8-ounce package
• 13-17lb. LARGE watermelons are $4.99 – if you get a 17-pounder, that’s about .29/lb.

(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 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.)

LASTLY… heads up on ANOTHER ice cream Catalina coming too! Scheduled to start 8/5 and run through 8/11, it’s another “Spend $12, Get $4” on ICE CREAM! Start looking for Edy’s, Haagen-Dasz, Drumsticks, Eskimo Pie, and Skinny Cow coupons…

Let’s go to Dominick’s…

Note to my Safeway shoppers reading from outside Chicagoland: In Chicago, Dominick’s currently accepts expired coupons up to one year past the expiration date, so my coupon matchups for Dominick’s deals will include expired coupons. If an expired coupon matchup is provided, it will be noted with (exp) after the date. Also, 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.

DIAPER DEAL! Many Doms locations are clearancing out of their Mom to Mom diapers (Dominick’s house brand.) I spotted a shelf full of jumbo Mom to Mom diaper packages in every size at the LITH Doms on clearance for $6.69 with 50% off the price — bringing you to $3.35 a pack! A STEAL.

Note that these don’t qualify for the current Mom to Mom Catalina deal running at Dominick’s – but that’s cheap.

Several readers spotted a deal on Purina One cat and dog food. 18-ounce bags of Purina One cat food are on sale for $2 each through 8/8. Use $2 Purina One cat food coupons from 6/27 SS (exp) and 4/18 RP (exp) and it’s FREE! The 2/28 SS has a coupon for $3 off any size Purina One cat or dog food too.

Also, check that dog food — I spotted small bags of a new flavor of Purina One dog food hanging on an aisle display priced at With the $2 dog food coupon (again, good on ANY size) from 6/27 SS, it’s free too!

Sale runs through August 9.

Here’s a Catalina deal on Ice Mountain water! 24-packs of .5 liter bottles of Ice Mountain are on sale for $3.50 a case. Ice Mountain is also part of a national Catalina deal through 8/22/10:

Purchase 2 cases Ice Mountain water, Receive $2
Purchase 3 cases Ice Mountain water, Receive $3
Purchase 4 or more cases Ice Mountain water, Receive $5

With no coupons, buying 4 packs of Ice Mountain will cost $14, and you’ll get $5 back, knocking the total to $9, or $2.25 each. Let’s add coupons! There are $1-off-2 24-packs in January All You. With one coupon, pay $13 and get $5 back. With 2 coupons, pay $12 and get a $5 Catalina back, dropping the price of all 4 to $7, or $1.75 each.

If you like buying bottled water… get it cheap!

If you’re a fan of the Dominick’s deli’s Signature Cafe service sandwiches, they’re a good deal this week. When you buy one at $4.99, you get a free 20oz. Coke product AND you’ll get a coupon for a second sandwich FREE on your next trip (coupon expires 8/21.) Make this an even better deal with the $1 Signature Cafe service sandwich coupon on Dominick’s site, which you can print or load to your card. You’ll pay $3.99 for TWO sandwiches and Coke! NICE!

*A note on Dominick’s Super Coupons:

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.

LASTLY, heads up on an upcoming Kellogg’s Catalina deal for Doms! Starting 8/5, buy any 10 Kellogg’s, Keebler, Sunshine, Eggo, and/or Morningstar Farms products (3.8 ounces or larger, mix and match any flavor) and get a $10 Catalina!

Coupon booklets currently found at Meijer:

SC Johnson: Save Over $30 – Look near cleaning products for display

Meijer meat deals:

• Fresh pork spare ribs are $1.79/lb.
• Ground Angus beef from chuck is $1.89/lb.

Meijer produce deals:

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 newer, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

Off to Target…

If you somehow missed doing the crazy Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean deal back in June, the deal is back AGAIN. (No excuse to have a messy bathroom with Scrubbing Bubbles being free so often!) If you saw this weekend’s inserts, you spotted the coupon for a free $5 Target gift card when you buy Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean sprayer AND refill in 8/1 SS. If you didn’t do this deal in June, you’ve still got coupons for:

– $5 off Power Sprayer – 6/13 SS
– $1 off refill – 6/13 SS

The sprayer’s on sale for $6.99, refill’s $3.49. Buy both ($10.48.) Use the $5 coupon for the sprayer and the $1 coupon for the refill. Now you’re down to $4.48. Use the coupon for a free $5 gift card, pay the $4.48 – and get your $5 card! It’s a .52 MONEYMAKER that will pay you to clean your bathroom… FREE! Make sure to CHECK your expiration dates on the June coupons though. SOME inserts expired 7/31 and others 8/8. If you have the 8/8 dates, you’re good to go.

Reader Icoupon2 came up with a nice scenario for Nutri-Grain bars! They’re on sale for $2.39 as part of the Buy 4, get the 5th free this week. You’ll need multiple sets of inserts to do this one, but as this was a four-insert week, many people bought more than one newspaper for the P&G alone. If you were one of them, here’s the deal…

Buy 5 boxes of Nutri-Grain bars.

Use two of the $1-off-2 Kellogg’s snacks Target store coupon from 8/1 RP.
Use as many .75 off Nutri-Grain coupons as you have (one, two, three, four or five) from 7/11 RP

With two of each coupon, pay $6.06 for 5 boxes – that’s about $1.01 a box. With five .75 manufacturer coupons, pay $3.81 for five boxes — .76 a box.

NOW… if you have the Kellogg’s Back to School coupon books that are in many grocery stores right now, there’s a coupon inside for $2 off any store brand coffee when you buy 2 Nutri-Grain bars. If you have two of these, head to the coffee aisle and grab four Archer Farms single-brew packages of coffee for $1 each, and they will be FREE as part of this deal too.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

While at Target, take a stroll through the toys and clothing departments – many people are reporting toys are clearanced between 50-75% off at their stores (those of you that have taken my Super-Couponing 2 workshop know we’re hitting a seasonal cycle low for both!) I picked up two $19.99 wooden train sets for $4.98 at 75% off. Clothing clearance abounds throughout the store too. I bought some new sandals for under $5.

The Big Swiffer Deal

(This deal’s legendary! If you hold your coupons and play them right, it’s always cheaper to buy a Swiffer and a refill than buying the Swiffer or the refill alone. I’ve done this deal numerous times over the past few years in one form or another…)

You’ll need the Target store coupon for $3 off the Swiffer Starter Kit from the 6/27 Target insert (some editions of the Tribune did not receive this insert) and the “Buy a Swiffer Sweeper starter kit, get a FREE refill coupon from the Home Made Simple: Decor Done Right coupon book.

Buy a Swiffer Sweeper starter kit ($8.99 at most stores.) Your $3 coupon knocks this down to $5.99. Now, get the LARGEST Swiffer refill you can find, as the coupon does not specify a size or quantity for your refill. (I like the 36-count Swiffer wet floor wipes, which usually sells for $14! It comes in a large cardboard “case” as opposed to the plastic tubs, and I’ve only seen this size at Target.) Pay $5.99 for the Swiffer AND the wipes — that’s cheaper than buying the wipes alone.

Target has launched mobile Target coupons which you can load to your phone. They are Target store coupons that you can stack manufacturer coupons with. Load coupons here. You can also print these offers by going to www.target.com/save and entering your phone number.

Remember too that you get .05 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use!

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.)
