Hello, Super-Couponers! This week will mark the two-year anniversary of when I began teaching free Super-Couponing workshops in Chicagoland, and… wow, what a wonderful two years it’s been! With the immediate success of those initial few workshops, my life quickly became consumed with writing, blogging, breathing, sleeping and dreaming coupons! (And I wouldn’t have it any other way…)
Today also marks another anniversary… the 41st wedding anniversary of my parents! (Hey, had they not met and fallen in love over 40 years ago, I wouldn’t be here writing this :) My beautiful mom was my original coupon mentor, and I have great memories of watching her clip coupons and save on our groceries as a kid in the 70s. Of course, the coupon game’s changed a lot since then, and we’ve all taken saving and stockpiling to the next level now. My amazing Dad deserves a big thumbs-up too for understanding why Mom now needs to bring home so many boxes of cereal and bottles of juice, even though their kids are all grown. Mom & Dad, the happiest of anniversaries to you today!
This week’s Sunday newspaper contained three inserts: SmartSource, RedPlum, and General Mills.
And – a heads-up — Kmart is doubling coupons up to and including $1 this week, limit 5 per person per day with your Kmart rewards card. (I did not do breakouts for Kmart this week as there wasn’t anything earth-shattering to report.)
Now… ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy .99-$1.50 laundry detergent, .51 pot pies and pasta meals, cheap Fisher Fusions, an ice cream Catalina, FREE Athenos Hummus, FREE Tide Stain Release, FREE Kellogg’s cereal, cheap Pop-Tarts, FREE Kraft cheese, cheap Mission tortillas, .37 Wish Bone salad dressing,.25 Juicy Juice (!), cheap and FREE Scotch adhesive products, cheap cat treats, FREE dog treats, FREE Dial body wash, cheap or free Schick 5 Hydro razors, FREE Suave deodorant, moneymaker Dulcolax… so let’s get started!

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!

Grocery Deals
The first big “HOORAY!” deal of the week? Jewel’s selling the Sunday Chicago Tribune for .99 through 8/29! If you need extra papers for a buck, you no longer have to chase them down at the dollar store or at Menards (though both are still excellent places to pick the Trib up cheaply.) Remember to always check the coupon bag and make sure it’s intact, as many readers have unfortunately reported rampant insert theft when buying papers on newsstands or in stores all over Chicagoland …
A couple of laundry detergent deals! 44-load bottles of Xtra detergent are $1.99. Use the $1 coupon from 6/6 SS and pay .99 – that’s .02 a load!
All detergent‘s a pretty good buy too. It’s on sale for $3.99. Use the $1 coupon from 8/1 RP and pay $2.99 — AND, use the coupon in the Thursday Jewel ad for “FREE Snuggle liquid fabric softener or dryer sheets when you buy All.” Get BOTH for $2.99 — that’s $1.50 each.
Reader Beaner2 writes that Pure Protein bars are on sale for .99 again. Use the $1 coupon in August All You and get one free!
Banquet dinners and pot pies as well as Chef Boyardee canned and microwave pastas are on sale for .88, already a pretty good price. Use this $1.50 off 4 coupon, buy 4, and pay $2.02, or .51 each!
There’s also a manufacturer coupon in this week’s Sunday Dominick’s ad for $3 off 10 participating ConAgra foods — if you exhaust your printables, using this manufacturer coupon on ten Chef Boyardee will bring you to $5.80 for 10, or .58 each!
If you missed the Fisher Fusions nut sale last month, it’s back! Fisher Fusions 4-6 ounce packages are on sale for $1.29. Use the $1 coupons from 6/20 SS, 2/28 SS, and 2/07 SS and pay .29!
“Spend $12, Save $4” Ice Cream Catalina sale Buying $12 worth of the following products will generate a $4 Catalina! Here are your products and matchups: Edy’s 1.5qt. ice cream – $6.49, Buy One Get One Free. (Second carton truly does count at $0.00, so you cannot use the price of the second carton to count up to $12) Edy’s Dibs 60ct. – $2.99 Edy’s Dibs Family Pack 140ct. – $3.99 Edy’s Fruit Bars 6-12ct. – $2.99 Edy’s Fruit Bar Minis 24ct. – $3.99 Edy’s Slow Churned Cups 3.6-5.8oz. – $1 Haagen-Dasz cups 3.6-5.8oz. – $1 Haagen-Dasz cartons 14oz. – $2.99 Haagen-Dasz snack size ice cream bars 3ct. – $2.99 Nestle Drumsticks 4ct. – $2.99 Skinny Cow cups 5.8oz. – $1.25 Skinny Cow 4 ct. cones, 6-12ct. bars, or 6ct. sandwiches – $3.99 |
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
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!
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.
Kraft “Buy 5, Save $5” Catalina sale – through 8/15/10 Buying any 5 of the following products will generate a $5 Catalina, plus Kraft will donate 5 meals to Feeding America.

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:
- Fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb.
Jewel produce deals:
- Chiquita avocados are .88 each
- Tomatoes on the vine are .88/lb.
- Michigan green peppers are .98/lb.
- Michigan green beans, eggplant, zucchini or yellow squash are $1.48/lb.
- Farm Stand baby-cut
- Peaches, nectarines or pluots are $1.99/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 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.)
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.
Reader Kolder spotted a quickie deal on Rold Gold Pretzels. They’re on sale for $1.49/ea. Many bags have peelies on them for $1.00 off one, making these .49! It’s worth noting too that all snacks and sodas are 50% off with the current sale too, so if you’re looking for something specific that doesn’t go on sale often, it might be a good week to buy.
FREE Tide Stain Release returns! It’s on sale for $5.99 with Super Coupon. Use the $3 ecoupon at www.pgesaver.com and stack it with the $3 manufacturer coupon from 8/1 PG, 7/4 PG (exp) 5/2 PG (exp,) 3/28 RP (exp,) or 1/10 RP (exp) and it’s FREE!
There are 2 new coupon books in Dominick’s stores this week — “Make a Muscle, Make a Difference” has $39 worth of manufacturer coupons inside, and the new “Serve up a Sandwich” booklet has $6 worth of manufacturer and store coupons too. (My favorites in this book? $1 off any butter top or split top store-brand bread, and $1 off a produce purchase of $5 or more – full coupon listing here)
If you have the “Make a Muscle” book, here’s an easy deal you can do on Glad bags. Many varieties of Glad bags are on sale for $2.49. Load this $2-off-2 ecoupon from Cellfire, and stack it with the $2-off-2 manufacturer coupon in the “Make a Muscle” book. Buy 2 and pay .98 for BOTH, or .49 each!
Buy 10, Save $10 Catalina sale! What a fun sale. Cereals will be FREE with the right coupons here! And, if you’re a rebater, there’s also a “Buy 10, get $10” mail-in rebate on Kellogg’s. You will need your original receipt and the 10 product UPCs to do the rebate, and you’ll also need the form — so far, the only store readers have reported finding tearpads of the forms in is Woodmans. But, the form does not state anything about what store the purchases must be made in, only that all 10 must be on the same receipt. Here’s a list of products and matchups! Remember, buying 10 of these will drop each of the prices shown by one dollar per item, before coupons, when you figure in the $10 Catalina you’re getting back. Eggo waffles – $2 Keebler crackers and cookies: Keebler Club, Town House, Flip Sides, other crackers – $3.49 Keebler Chips Deluxe, Sandies, Fudge Shoppe, other cookies – $2.49-$3.49 Kellogg’s cereals – $1.99-$2.49-$2.99 Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Cinnabon, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops cereals – $1.99 – $2 off 2 – Jewel “Score More Savings” coupon book (in-store in June – 2 cereals FREE with this coupon and Catalina) Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies cereals – $2.49 Kellogg’s Fiber Plus, Frosted Mini Wheats, Special K cereals – $2.99 Kellogg’s Fruit Snacks – $1.99 Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts 8 ct. – $1.99 (work out to .50 a box with Catalina and $1-off-2 coupons!) Sunshine Crackers – $2.49 (In the case of the “Fuel For School” coupons, the “bonus” items they’re for don’t count toward your Catalina goal, but if you can work them in to get other things as part of this deal? Supreme! Some varieties of store-brand sandwich bags, for example, are on sale for $1-$2, so they’re FREE along with your cheap/free cereal!) |
Easiest scenario here? Buy 10 boxes of $1.99 cereal. Use a combination of the $2-off-2 coupons from June’s Jewel “Score More Savings” book and $1 Cinnabon cereal coupons (inserts, printables.) Pay $9.90 and get a $10 Catalina – and with the “Fuel for School” coupons, get free sandwich bags too!
And THEN, if you’ve been lucky enough to find a $10 mail-in-rebate form for the Kellogg’s (noted above too — readers have spotted these at Woodmans) send it all in for a very sweet moneymaker! Again, if you’re doing the rebate, save your receipt AND the UPCs from the packages — you’ll need them all.
This next deal’s been running for a few weeks now, but I bumped it up with the new deals, because it just got sweeter this week! Doms is running a “Buy 5, save $5” on lunchmeats and cheeses that overlaps with two of the cheeses in the $5 Catalina deal (Deli Deluxe and Deli Fresh cheese slices.) With the overlap and the right coupons, you’ll be taking home FIVE packages of cheese that’s free after instant-savings, coupons and Catalina! :)
Kraft “Buy 5, Save $5” Catalina sale – through 8/15/10! Buying any 5 of the following products will generate a $5 Catalina – effectively reducing ALL prices shown by $1. UPDATED for 8/9: FREE cheese with the right coupons! Kraft Deli Deluxe cheese slices $1.99 WHEN YOU BUY 5 (FREE with coupon and Catalina!) Kraft Deli Fresh cheese slices – $1.99 WHEN YOU BUY 5 (FREE with coupon and Catalina!) ————————————————- Breakstone Cottage Cheese – 16oz. – $3.19 Breakstone Sour Cream – 16oz – $2.59 Cheez Whiz – $2.99 Cracker Barrel cheeses – $4.99 Kraft Cracker Cuts Cheese – $3.99 Kraft Natural Cheese (Chunks, Crumbles, Cubes, Shredded, Sticks) – $2.49 with Super Coupon in ad, limit 3 Kraft Parmesan Cheese – $2.49 with Super Coupon in ad, limit 3 Kraft Singles – $2.49 with Super Coupon in ad, limit 3 Kraft String-Ums cheese – not stocked at my store Philadelphia Cream Cheese – $1.99 (through July 28, $2.79 after) Velveeta Cheese products – 32oz. $6.49 |

*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.
Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals of the week for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, St. Charles, and the Indianapolis area:
First off, here’s the super-hot deal on Juicy Juice everyone’s talking about! Varieties of Juicy Juice (8-pack juice boxes, 46oz or 64oz bottles) are on sale at Meijer for $2 a bottle. Buy four and get a $3 Catalina. So far, so good… but let’s add coupons!
8/1 RP2 has a $1-off-2 manufacturer coupon for Juicy Juice. Meijer Mealbox had a GREAT $2-off-4 store coupon to stack in with this too last week on their Mealbox site… but due to the difference in sales cycles between the Illinois/Indianapolis and Michigan/Indiana, the Mealbox coupons have since changed to new ones for the week.
But that very nice $2-off-$4 Meijer coupon is still floating around out there, and it doesn’t expire until 8/27. How to get it? Hot Coupon World maintains a “Meijer Coupon Generator,” which links to those hidden, yet unexpired, Meijer Mealbox coupons. Another bonus? You can print multiples of them on the same page, saving paper. So, head over, print that, and put your deal together:
Buy 4 Juicy Juice ($8)
Use one $2-off-$4 Meijer store coupon and either one or two $1-off-2 manufacturer coupons from 8/1 RP.
With one manufacturer coupon, pay $5 and get $3 back! 4 bottles for $2 is .50 a bottle!
With two manufacturer coupons, pay $4 and get $3 back! 4 bottles for $1 is .25 a bottle!
More printables to possibly work in:
– $1 off juice boxes – printable
– $1 off juice – printable
– $1 off Immunity variety – printable
– $1 off sparkling variety – printable
If you want to keep going, with NO manufacturer coupons and one Meijer $2-off-$4, pay $6 and get $3 back – 4 bottles for $3 is .75 a bottle — still a steal for 100% juice!
Note that the Catalina you get DOES NOT ROLL. It states right on it that if you use it to buy more Juicy Juice, you will not get another $3 Catalina. But there are plenty of other things to spend that Cat on at Meijer this week, so do as many rounds of 4 Juicy Juice as you like, then go back and buy your other groceries.
Meijer is the only store I know of that actually runs instant-savings deals on socks and underwear! (Hey, we all need them.) We JUST finished the Kellogg’s/Fruit of the Loom deal, and the new deal is on Hanes! Buy $10 worth of Nabisco cookies and crackers (all sizes and varieties included!) and get $10 instant savings on 3 packages of Hanes Basics, including t-shirts, socks and underwear. Here’s a list of some products and matchups (remember, there are many more in-store as all varieties are included…) Chips Ahoy Crackerfuls Honey Maid Graham Crackers Nabisco multipacks Oreo Ritz crackers Teddy Grahams Buying $10 worth of THOSE products will give you $10 instant savings off any THREE of these: Hanes boys or girls 6 or 7-packs ankle socks – $3.99 Hanes boys 3 or 4 packs underwear – $4.99 Hanes boys 5 or 6 packs crew T-shirts – $5.99 Hanes women’s 6 or 7 packs of socks – $5.49 Hanes women’s 6 or 7 packs panties – $5.99 Hanes men’s 10 or 12 packs socks – $7.99 Hanes men’s 3 or 4 packs boxers – $7.49 Hanes men’s 5 or 6 packs crew t-shirts – $8.49 Hanes men’s 4 or 6 packs boxer briefs – $8.49 |

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.
For my Rockford-area shoppers (and Kroger shoppers too!) here are your Hilander sales for the current week…

Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.
Here’s a little deal on Scotch Magic Tape! It’s on sale for .50 a roll. Buy 3 and use the $1-off-3 coupon from 8/8 SS — you’ll pay .50 for 3, or about .17 a roll…
Along with that, here’s a deal on Scotch Post-Its! Reader Mr. Deal writes to say they’re on sale for $1. Use this $1 coupon and… do the math! :)
Attention Axe fans! Here’s a good deal on Axe body products. Axe gift sets are on sale for $6.99 each at Target. The gift sets include either 3 body sprays, 2 shampoos (large and small sizes) or shower gel & detailing tool. When you buy 2, you’ll get a $5 Target gift card! Let’s add coupons…
– $1.50 off shower gel gift set – 8/1 RP
– $1 off shower gel gift set – 8/1 RP
With these two coupons, buy 2, pay $11.48 and get a $5 gift card — that drops the price to $6.48 for 2, or $3.24 each. With two $1.50 coupons, pay $10.98 and get $5 – $2.99 a set.
AND… if you use Target’s mobile coupons, there’s a bonus $1 Target store coupon to stack! With that, you’d pay $9.98 for two and get $5 = $2.49 each.
This is an unadvertised sale, so scan your Axe gift sets at the price scanner to see the details of the gift card promo. If the item you’re buying is included, the price scanner will show it as a qualifying item for the deal.
Sale runs through August 28th.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:
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!
Drugstore Deals
Dial Nutriskin Body Wash is $3.99. Buy it and get $3 back in Register Rewards! Use this $1 printable, pay $2.99 and get $3 back! FREE body wash!
Bausch & Lomb BioTrue solution is $4.99. Buy it and get $4 back in Register Rewards! Use this $1 coupon, pay $3.99 and get $4 back… making this FREE!
Schick Hydro 5 razors are a good buy too. They’re on sale for $7.99. When you buy one, you’ll get $2 back in Register Rewards. Use the $5 coupon in 8/8 SS, pay $2.99 and get $2 back! .99 razor!
Reader Andremike writes that you should also look for peelies on the razors for “Buy Razor, get FREE Hydro shaving cream!” That sweetens the deal too! And, if you’re a rebater, you might like this Try Hydro Free rebate too!
U By Kotex products are cheap yet again. Tampons, pads or liners are on sale for $3.50. Use the $1 manufacturer coupon from 8/8 SS and stack it with the $2 Walgreens store coupon in the August coupon booklet found in the front of the store. After the stack, you’ll pay .50…
Ecotrin is on sale for $3.59, Buy One, Get One Free. If your store allows you to use one coupon on each item (some stores do not,) print two $2 coupons. At $1.80 each, that’s two free!
Want some FREE Suave deodorant? Suave is on sale for .99. Use either the $1.25-off-1 or $3-off-2 coupons found here and get them FREE! There’s also a .75 coupon in 7/11 RP that would make this just .24.
While also on sale at Walgreens, the Schick Hydro 5 razors is an even better buy at CVS. They’re on sale for $8.97. When you buy one, you’ll get $4 back in Extra Care Bucks. Use the $5 coupon in 8/8 SS, pay $3.99 and get $4 back! FREE razor!
Reader Andremike writes that you should also look for peelies on the razors for “Buy Razor, get FREE Hydro shaving cream!” That sweetens the deal too! And, if you’re a rebater, you might like this Try Hydro Free rebate too!
Dulcolax is a moneymaker too this week. It’s on sale for $9.99 with $9.99 back in ECBs – FREE. Use the $5 coupon from May All You, the $4 coupon from 5/16 SS, or a $3 printable and make this a moneymaker!
The Lysol No-Touch hand soap system is on sale for $9.99 with $5 back in ECBs. Use the $3 coupon from 7/11 SS, pay $6.99 and get $5 back! $1.99 is not a bad price for this if you want one.
And also at CVS, Xtra laundry detergent is $1.99. Use the $1 coupon from 6/6 SS and pay .99!
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 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.)

Jill,
I know you don’t post deal for Piggly Wiggly, but I have to share for your nothern Illinois, Souther Wisconsin readers.
This week is the Kelloggs/Kebbler deal…buy 10 get $10 back. All their cereal, poptarts, graham crackers, fruit snacks and cookies are on sale for $1.69, even without coupons it’s 69 cents a box.
But use the $1/3 from 08/01 RP Kelloggs creal and $1/2 07/11 RP Poptart to get this for as little as 19 cents a box!
This does roll!
Also, the Kraft cheese is on sale for $1.69, buy 5, get $5. This also rolls.
This was my most exciting deal this whole summer! ;-) It’s been slow….
scrapbooktina says
All detergent $3.99
use the $1.00 coupon 8/1 RP
use the coupon for free Snuggle Fabric Softener (Thursday Ad Coupon)
Also in addition use the $1.00 off the Snuggle Fabric Softener from the target web site because it is a manufacturers coupon.EDITED BY COUPON MAVEN: Cannot do deal in this way. The coupons for free Snuggle and $1 off Snuggle are BOTH manufacturer coupons, and you cannot use more than one manufacturer coupon on the same item.
robyn.elaine says
None of the printable coupons are available
Bamasam02 says
The managers at my Jewel-Osco (the SHE project store) will not honor the Athenos coupon unless you get 4, paying for 1 and receiving 3 for free. I tried to explain to them the procedure of the coupon but to no avail. No free hummus for us. :(
Kluskclark3 says
None of the printable coupons listed here are working. :(
Trucaligirl says
I can’t seem to locate it…………Any help?
libuse says
FYI…I went to the Oswego Dominicks this morning and the Dominicks brand diapers were on clearance for $6, but were not 50% off that price. bummer. I even had them price check it.
couponmama1984 says

sorry im new to this..hope its not a bother.
jennilynnie says
There is an endcap with the clearance Mom to Mom diapers at the Oswego Dom’s. It is facing the dairy section and is right by the big clearance table-thing. There have also been some Mom to Mom pullups. They are $3.25 and $4.25 I think. BUT, look at the table set up in front of pharmacy and there are Mom to Mom booklets with $1/1 q’s! $2.25 is pretty good for diapers or pullups :) I haven’t been there since Sat, but this endcap has been the same forever!
Ilovecouponing says
Just a FYI – I did this deal this weekend and it does not include the DHA or Immunity. The deal is specific to the amount of ounces in the container.
Ilovecouponing says
I should have posted this last week, but just redeemed my rewards this weekend. A reminder if it was not mentioned already to put your codes in if you bought PopTarts during the Kellogg/Fruit of the Loom deal last week. Not only did I get cheap PopTarts, Eggos, T-shirts/Underwear….I have 2 movie tickets up to a $12 value each and they do not expire until 10/2011:-) So HAPPY!!!!
armymom says
at Menards. they are 2/$3.00! net,,,.50 each with the $1.oo manie q.
Rebecca Floyd says
If the links to printable coupons insist that you install the coupon printer every time (even though you have many times), does that mean its reached its print limit or is it my computer? Sigh, any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Rebecca
MamaHan says
Hi Jill,
The coupons for ice cream in my July All You are different values than the ones listed in this week’s deals. The Edy’s/Skinny Cow/HD cups on page 80 are $1/3. The HD pint on the next page is only $1/1 on the 14 oz. or larger. Are your coupons different? I don’t think the coupons I have will work with the posted deal. Thanks in advance for your help!
iafan87@WOWWAY.COM says
My jewel has told me,on two occasions now, that they will not honor any free products from internet coupons ;( No free hummus for us either.

Is there a limit to the electronic coupon?
ModernCouponMommy says

Any direction from our fellow couoners would be awesome…it has totally stumped me.
mnharry says
With the Dominick’s cats can I do both the Kelloggs and the Kraft cheese deal in one order and still get both cats? Also does the Kelloggs cat roll? Thanks
eireed says
The Jewel in Woodstock will accept the B1G1 for the hummus and they will let you use your $10 gift card catalina towards a Jewel gift card. I specifically asked the customer service manager and she said I could so I did. I got a $10 Jewel gift card for $0.
lopezj0123 says
has anyone talked to their insurance agent about the amount of product they have in their house? is there coverage for it, if so how much and how much did it cost you? Does the coverage cover just food or does it cover all your goods? What insurance do you have?
I am just stating couponing but i can see how quickly my “store” can grow and i was just think about what it would be like if i lost it all. I think as it is now I only have like 500 dollars for food and stuff in the house.

I know Dom’s take expired q’s but will they also take expired printable’s??
Just askin’! Sorry, I’m really wet behind the ears……I’m takin’ Jill’s class in a couple weeks!=)
lopezj0123 says
I went to the Gurnee jewel twice today, two different cashiers, and the grayslake jewel once and I was told the same thing all three times. I was using the $1 off one All laundry detergent and I was stacking that with the free snuggle fabric softener from the jewel ad this week. I was told the same thing all three times, that I could only use one or the other coupon but not both together. I know that they are both MFQ but the discounts are off of two different products and I told the cashier this but she said that because the free snuggle coupon required “qualifying purchase” as she said, that I could not also use a coupon on the “qualifying purchase”. I thanks the cashier each time and said I did not want the items then. Are they correct? If they are not correct then what should I do? I dont want to drive two a third Jewel!
Kluskclark3 says
Stopped at meijer this am. Went and got the 64oz Juicy Juice drinks and was told these were not on sale for the $2/4… Sign clearly showed it tho. Didn’t have time so will have to go back later.
ellierose2002 says
Can someone explain the catalinas a little bit to me? I understand how to get them, but I am confused about using them. For example, can I use a catalina to pay for something else that generates a catalina? What does it mean when people say a catalina rolls?
Thanks!
Bjm says
I went purchased the Kotex tampons today and received a catalina for a full box of Playtex tampons FREE. Gotta love it!
quiltty66 says
Stopped at Meijers in RM looking for the 46 oz juicy juice. They were out of it of course. But one of the managers said it was fine to substitute the 64 oz size for the same price. Then he also told us to tell the cashier to push through the Meijer Mealbox coupons on it. So we bought 12 64 oz bottles for $.25 each after getting the $3.00 cat back. Just thought I’d mention it in case anyone else can get the same great deal.
nordicat says
Anyone else having issues finding the Cinnabon $1 printable? I can’t seem to locate it. I can only find a .75 printable on Kellogg’s site. Also, I’m only seeing a $1 off 3 coupon, not $1.25 off 3. Did they change in the past few days? DH was nice and told me today we NEED cereal! :P
cj795 says
Went to the Walgreens at 500 Northwest Hwy in Cary today. On the end cap in the back of the store they have First Aid cases on sale with $15 worth of coupons in them for $.50 each.
Inside the coupons are for
Neosporin
Band-Aid
Cortaid
Bengay
Benadryl

savinmorenowadays says
have a crazy question that I need a little help on when I load ecoupons from p&g esaver, short cuts.com and cell fire. Are these considered manufacture coupons or are the Dominick’s coupons. Can I stack them?
HappyMom88 says
They were out of the DD plain singles and I got a raincheck. I know there is an auto $5 off if you purchase in 5’s…is there a cat as well? IF so, how long is the CAT promo?
savinmoolah says
…a couple times at Dominick’s I loaded ecoupons and also used manf. coupons and the register beeped. One time a checker did not allow me to use paper coupons on top of the ecoupons and stated that I already used manf. coupons and I can only use one manf. coupon per item. Then, other checkers just manually entered the manf. coupons that beeped. I always thought the loaded ecoupons were store coupons as well, since we load them to our store card….but I have had more beeps recently. Is something changing??
HappyMom88 says
wrong place
Hamptons Mom says
Went to Walmart today since both Target and Walgreens seem to be out of Post-its. The cashier took my Post-it coupons tossed them and showed me a copy of the same coupon that they had hand written ‘no good’ on and told me the manufacturer said they were invalid. She said they were on a fraudulent site. When I printed them the link seems to be from 3M did anyone else have issues? I have since printed more coupons and will look elsewhere for them as the coupon is good until 9/30/10.
