Deals of the Week for December 6, 2010

Hello, Super-Couponers! Can you believe there are only 19 days until Christmas?

If you’re looking for a gift idea for that hard-to-buy-for person, give them the gift of savings! My Super-Couponing® DVD contains my entire live coupon workshop, and in one hour, it will change the way you shop forever! It’s like giving someone hundreds, even thousands of dollars’ worth of savings! Click here to order the Super-Couponing® DVD!

To my new readers, if you’re interested in learning to save on almost everything you buy at the grocery store, why not attend a Super-Couponing workshop? Many are FREE, and in one hour you’ll learn how to cut your grocery bill 50-70%! The last Super-Couponing class of 2010 is taking place in Lisle this week. Learn more!

This week’s newspaper contained three inserts: a SmartSource (SS,) a RedPlum (RP,) and a General Mills (GM.) This week’s Parade magazine also has a coupon for two free 5″x7″ photo greeting cards at Meijer or Walmart, and one of my Tribunes (!) also had a single-sheet coupon for $1 off 2 Edy’s ice cream and $1 off Nestle Toll House mini toppers. Before you toss your paper, see if you got one too!

Also, Kmart is doubling coupons up to and including $2 through 12/7. You can double 5 per day, and there is a whopping $25 minimum purchase before you can double. (Yawn.) I’m taking a pass on this one.

Now… ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy .47 Smart Balance milk, $1.75 Butterball turkey bacon, .66 Prego pasta sauce, $1 Grande tortilla chips, .25-FREE Sierra Mist 2-liters, the continuing P&G “Spend $30, get $10” Catalina sale, .99 bags of Wonderful Pistachios, .44 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, 5 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal for $5 PLUS a free movie ticket Catalina, two free Classico Pasta sauces, .55 7-Up 2-liters, eggs for .72/dozen, a great instant-savings deal on multipacks of Hanes socks and underwear (as low as 4 packages for $1.96!) .75 Old Orchard 100% juices, FREE Bumble Bee tuna, FREE Wolf Chili, FREE Airwick candles, FREE Optimum Care hair relaxer, FREE Revlon nail polish, FREE Hallmark greeting cards, TWO P.F.

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. 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.

Ready for a scenario?

A Pampers/Bounty scenario

If you need Pampers, this one’s not too bad.

Buy 1 Big Pack Pampers AND one 72ct. Pampers ThickCare Wipes (wipes don’t count toward Catalina but will be FREE with diapers)
Buy 1 Bounty 8-roll paper towel
Buy 1 Crest (a “filler” to get us over $30.)

Pre-coupon total: $32.48 (not including the cost of the wipes, which will be FREE with diapers.)

Use coupons for $1 off Pampers, free Pampers ThickCare wipes when you buy Pampers, $1 Bounty coupon, $1 Avenu ecoupon for Bounty, $1 Crest coupon, and $1 Avenu ecoupon for Crest.

Pay $27.48 and get a $10 Catalina for the Gift Card Mall. Ultimately, you’re looking at $17.48 for everything. You’ve reduced the price of the $19.99 diapers by a couple of dollars, AND gotten 8 rolls of Bounty and a tube of Crest. Don’t forget to use that $10 Gift Card Mall Catalina!

————————–

A “Somewhat Cheaper Pampers” scenario

Buy 1 Pampers Big Pack AND one 72ct. Pampers ThickCare Wipes (wipes don’t count toward Catalina but will be FREE with diapers)
Buy 1 Crest
Buy 2 Pantene
Buy 1 Puffs

Pre-coupon total: $30.49

Use coupons for $1 off Pampers, free Pampers ThickCare wipes when you buy Pampers, $1 Crest coupon, $1 Avenu ecoupon for Crest, Buy Pantene, get free shampoo and Buy Pantene shampoo, get $1 off conditioner.

Pay $23.99 and get $10 Catalina for the Gift Card Mall. Ultimately, you’re at $13.99 for everything, which is much cheaper than buying the Pampers alone, plus you get “free” Crest, Pantene and Puffs. Again, don’t forget to use that $10 Gift Card Mall Catalina!

If you are a “Black Belt” coupon shopper, you may like these Black Belt Scenarios for the P&G $30/$10.

GIFT CARD DEAL: Through 12/16, Buy $100 in selected gift cards (AMC theaters, Applebees, Bass Pro Shops, Catherine’s, Fashion Bug, iTunes, JC Penney, Lane Bryant, Marshalls, Regal Entertainment Group, Sephora, Spa Finder, TGI Fridays and/or TJ Maxx) and get a $10 Catalina for your next Jewel shopping trip! This deal stacks up five time (buying $500 in gift cards will generate $50 in Catalinas) but you can only use one $10 Catalina per transaction.

This could work out nicely with the “Spend $30, get $10 for the Gift Card Mall” deal running on P&G products this week too.

Kedem Sparkling Grape Juice (25.4oz.) is on sale for $2.49 a bottle. Look for hangtags on the bottle for $1.50 mail-in rebate — after rebate, it’s .99! (Including the price of your stamp, you’re looking at $1.43.)

Here’s a deal on Nature’s Farm natural, hormone-free milk! It’s on sale for $2.99 a half-gallon carton (through 1/2.) Look in the refrigerated case near the milk for a tearpad of $2 coupons. With coupon, you’ll pay .99 a carton! This milk is ultra-pasturized too, so the dates are long — mine expire 1/16/11.

Note that while this milk does not state “organic,” it seems to be similar in taste/quality as organic — and for the price, I’ll happily make the switch for a few weeks! I also noticed that at one store, the tearpad had $2 coupons on top, and midway through they switched to $1 coupons. Just a heads-up. Tearpad coupons expire 12/31/10.

Competitor Coupon Deals

Did you know Jewel-Osco also accepts competitor coupons IF they’re for a competitor’s house brand? They sure do — it’s right in their coupon policy, but many shoppers aren’t aware of it!

If you have the Dominick’s Big $60 Thanksgiving Coupon Book, there are coupons that line up nicely to sales on the same Jewel-house-branded items:

Jewel 10-10.5oz. marshmallows are on sale for .89 Use the .50 coupon from the $60 Thanksgiving book and pay .39!

Jewel’s Shoppers Value brand spice shakers are on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from the $60 Thanksgiving book and pay .50!

If you have the Dominick’s “Big $60 Thanksgiving Coupon Book,” Swiss Miss hot cocoa is on sale for $1 a box through the end of the year. Use the $1 coupon in the $60 Thanksgiving book and it’s FREE!

Jewel-Osco has a Facebook page. If you have questions directly for corporate, you can ask them there (and they answer promptly!) They’ve also got the free cookware promo under way, so save your stickers from qualifying receipts to earn free pots and pans.

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. I’d recommend getting on their list if you shop there.

Deliciously Simple Holiday Recipes – here’s what’s inside

Share Something Delicious – here’s what’s inside.

$50 Kellogg’s “Your Ultimate Holiday Guide – here’s what’s inside.

Jewel meat deals:

• Hormel Always Tender country style ribs are $1.99/lb.
• Perdue bone-in split chicken breasts are $1.99/lb.
• Jewel is running their “Fav 4” meat deal again in which 4 packages of various meats automatically price to $19.99 for all. As always, stick to meats that work out to about $1.99/lb for the best buys.

Jewel produce deals:

• 3lb. bags of red or gold potatoes are $1.99 each – that’s .66/lb.
• Many varieties of apples are .99/lb. (Organic Honeycrisp are $2.49/lb.)
• Several varieties of pears are .99/lb. (organic Bartlett are $1.99/lb.)
• Roma tomatoes are .99/lb.
• California red seedless grapes are $1.28/lb.
• Organic Wild Harvest baby-cut carrots are $1.99 for a 1lb. bag
• Heads of lettuce, green peppers and sleeved celery are all .99 each
• 4-6oz. containers of raspberries, blackberries or blueberries are $3.99, B1G1F
• Jewel is running their “Fav 4” produce deal again in which 4 packages of various produce items automatically price to $10 for all. As always, stick to items whose prices work out to the lowest per-pound price for the best buys. Steer clear of things like the Fresh Express salads or 14oz. carrot and celery sticks, as $2.50 is a very high price for these.

(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 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. Also, in Chicago, previously-available ecoupons are being rolled into the “Just For U” 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.

Now, the super-hot deals this week:

Wonderful Pistachios: These are already a good price with this week’s Super Coupon. Let’s make it even better! If you haven’t used it yet, there’s a $3-off-$10 Produce ecoupon that you can load to your Fresh Values card on Dominicks.com. Load this up, because, guess what? Pistachios… are produce!

Here’s how the deal works — and if you’re a person who likes to load the Super Coupons to your Fresh Values card too, this deal works better if you do NOT load the Pistachios ecoupon to the card. Clip it from the paper, and along with it, clip three $1 coupons from 11/21 SS or printables. Then, here’s how the deal goes.

Buy THREE bags of Wonderful Pistachios (regular price: $3.99 each.)

Three bags at $3.99 is $11.97, which is a produce purchase over $10, triggering the $3 produce ecoupon.

Now, you’re at $8.97. When the cashier scans your pistachios Super Coupon, it will drop TWO of the bags to $2.49 each (as it’s limit 2.)

Now, you’re at $5.97. Your three $1 manufacturer coupons take another $3 off, putting you at $2.97 for ALL three bags, or .99 each! That’s a steal for pistachios!

Note that it does not matter what order your cashier scans the coupons in, as the $3-off-$10 produce will happen instantaneously. The reason it’s better not to load the pistachios ecoupon first is that if you do, the register will see $2.49 + $2.49 + $3.99 for your three bags, which equals $8.97. That’s not enough to trigger the $3-off-$10 produce ecoupon.

MONDAY MORNING UPDATE: Reader lynni5 writes “I tried doing the pistachio deal at Dominicks and bought 3 bags. When it was ringing it said the $3 came off but when I put in the super coupon it eliminated the $3 off.” If this happens to you, you may wish to include another $1.03 in produce, if you need or want other produce, to ensure the $3-off-$10 comes off. I (Jill) did the deal on Saturday afternoon and it worked as written…

Enjoy your super-cheap pistachios! Thanks to Ayla8 for crunching the numbers on this deal! And on to the next great Doms deal this week…

Honey Bunches of Oats – They’re on sale for $1.69 with Super Coupon as noted above. But, they also double-dip with a National Catalina sale: Buy 3 boxes and get a $2 Catalina; buy 4 boxes and get a $3 Catalina. Go for four… the 5/16 SS (exp,) 2/28 SS (exp,) or 12/6/09 SS (exp) have $1-off-2 coupons, and the 7/25 SS has a $1.50-off-2 Honey Bunches of Oats when you buy a gallon of milk.

With two $1-off-2 coupons, buy four, pay $4.76 for four and get a $3 Catalina back! Now you’re paying $1.76 for four, or .44 a box! Or, use the $1.50-off-2 coupons and save .50 more per coupon, but remember that you need to buy a gallon of milk for each of those coupons that you use.

Either way… that’s cheap cereal!

Through 12/14, here’s a deal running on Kellogg’s cereals AND a free movie ticket – Buy any 5 Kellogg’s cereals 10oz. or larger, mix and match, and receive a Catalina for a FREE movie ticket!

Many Kellogg’s cereals are on sale this week at Dominick’s for $2 a box. Even with no coupons, you’re paying $10 for 5 cereals and a movie ticket up to $12!

But of course, we need to use coupons to bring this down even more… use any of many:

Inserts / coupon books:
– $2 off 2 – Jewel “Score More Savings” coupon books (available in stores back in June, exp)
– $1 off 1 Cinnabon cereal – 6/27 RP, 8/15 Parade (magazine in Tribune, exp)
– $1 off 2 Special K – 7/25 RP (exp,) 5/2 RP (exp)

– If you have the Kellogg’s “Fuel for School” coupon books (available in stores in September) there’s a coupon inside for $2 off store-brand sandwich bags when you buy 2 Kellogg’s cereals. Use that for some cheap/free store-brand bags too — and there’s also a $2 off Ocean Spray juice or Craisins when you buy 2 Frosted Mini-Wheats in the same book!)

Printables:
– $1 off 2 Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® – printable

– $1.50 off any 3 Kellogg’s cereals – printable

With two $1-off-2 coupons, you’ll pay $8 for 5 boxes of cereal AND a ticket to the movies!

“Perfect Deal” scenario? With two $2-off-2 coupons and a $1 coupon, pay $5 for 5 boxes of cereal AND a ticket to the movies!

And again, don’t forget to use those “$2 off store-brand bags” coupons too from the “Fuel For School” books if you’ve got them to sweeten this deal further!

We’ve seen this deal before, and it’s back again… Dominick’s has Classico pasta sauces (red and Alfredo) on sale for $3.69, Buy One, Get One Free.

Use the following coupons:

– 1/10 SS – Buy One Classico, Get One Free 1/10 SS (exp)
– 3/14 SS – Buy 2 Classico, save $1.50 on beef (exp)

With the first coupon, you’ll get two jars FREE. With the second coupon, you’ll also save an additional $1.50 on beef, which lines up nicely to many of the $1.99 beef sales this week.

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 $3.69 in cash, how many jars of Classico will that pay for? Two — because the store is selling you two for $3.69. Now, look at your B1G1F coupon. What is its value? Up to $3.99. Think of coupon as stating “up to $3.99 off two jars of Classico,” and when the price of two jars is $3.69… the coupon’s up-to-$3.99 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 $3.99.” Legally, the cashier must enter the price of the first item, which in this case is $3.69. 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!

NOTE: With the most recent revision of their coupon policy, Dominick’s states “Coupons may not be applied against any free item received in any offer.” In this situation, the B1G1F coupon applies to the price of the first jar you’re buying (making it free) and the store’s sale makes the second jar free, so no coupon is being applied to the value of the free item. Even if you work the beef coupon in, it applies to the beef — both jars of Classico are qualifying items, but the coupon does not technically “apply” to either of them.

Mission 10ct. flour tortillas are $1.99 each. Use the .75 coupon from 8/1 SS (exp) and pay $1.24…

Reader Avenger writes that Sierra Mist 2-liters are .99 currently at Dominick’s — with the $1 coupons from the Dominick’s $60 Thanksgiving coupon book, they’re FREE!

2-liters of 7-Up are .88 each. If you have the “Score More Savings” coupon books from Jewel earlier this summer, there’s a $1-off-3 (exp) coupon for the 7-Up 2-liters inside. Use it and pay $1.64 for three, or .55 per 2-liter bottle.

UPDATE: Dominick’s added a coupon on Just For U on Monday for .75 2-liters of 7-Up, limit 2. With this loaded to your card and the coupon, pay $1.38 for 3, or .46 each.

NEW JUST FOR U UPDATE: With the same site update, Dominick’s also added an ecoupon for 59oz. bottles of Simply Orange or Minute Maid Pomegranate juices for $1.99, limit 2. The “Dairy Summer Adventure” Dominick’s coupon book has a .50-off-2 coupon (exp) inside to drop this to $1.74 a bottle – good price.

Awhile ago I received a coupon book in the mail from Smithfield Pork (Paula Deen is on the cover) with $5 worth of Smithfield coupons inside. I believe it was a mail-away from earlier this year that a reader posted… at any rate, if you have the book too, grab the coupon inside for .75 off Smithfield Bacon. 12-16oz. packages of Smithfield Bacon are on sale for $3.49. Use the coupon and take it home for $2.74.

Smithfield is even cheaper at Meijer this week ($3) if you’d like to get it there…

Through December 8th, when you spend $75 or more in a single transaction, you’ll receive a $10 Catalina. Trouble is, that $75 is post-Fresh Values card savings, post-store coupon, and POST MANUFACTURER coupon. (Good luck.)

GIFT CARD DEAL: Dominick’s is running a deal on gift cards too. Buy $60 or more worth of iTunes gift cards and receive a Catalina for $15 off a purchase at Dominick’s.

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Lucerne Large Eggs are .99 a dozen. Buy two and use this .55 off two dozen eggs to get two cartons for $1.43, or .72 a dozen – great price.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Dial liquid pump soaps are on sale for .99. Use the .35 coupon from 10/10 RP (exp,) 8/15 RP (exp,) and 6/13 RP (exp) and pay .64!
(I noticed that at the Dom’s I went to [C’Ville,] the “gold,” original-scent Dial pump soaps had over 9 ounces in the bottle for .99, vs. the 7.5oz.-sized other scents. Why not get more… for less?)

Crest toothpaste is sale for .99 too. Use .75 coupons from 11/28 PG, 10/10 PG (exp,) 8/29 PG (exp,) 8/1 PG (exp,) 7/4 PG (exp,) or 6/27 RP (exp) and pay .24!

Purina Cheweez dog treats currently sell at Dominick’s for $1.25 a package. Buy 4, use the $4-off-4 coupon from 9/12 RP and pay $1 for FOUR bags! Your dog likes good deals too!

If you haven’t yet signed up for the new “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. Each person’s discounts are different, and they’re based on past purchases made with your Fresh Values card at Dominick’s. Learn more here.

Are you a Meijer Mperks member yet? Mperks is a different set of electronic Meijer coupons. They’re attached to your cellphone number, but aside from one text message to activate your account, you do not need to use text messaging to continually use them. Once you register with Meijer Mperks, you log into the Mperks website and click the electronic coupons you’d like to load to your account. Then, when you’re at the checkout, type your cellphone number into the keypad at the register, and your coupons come off automatically.

Meijer meat deals:

• Fresh grade A chicken drumsticks and thighs are .99/lb.

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 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.

• Avocados are $1 each

Remember that Hilander doubles coupons up to .55 face value every day! You are only allowed to double two of the SAME coupon per day though — additional coupons will ring at face value. (Split your trips if you’re stocking up!)

Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.

I don’t think this price is great, BUT, if you worked it into another deal to get yourself up to $25, you’ll get another $5 back to sweeten this further. We’ll discuss that in a minute. :)

Note that the $2 coupon expires SUNDAY NIGHT, so if you’re reading this late on Sunday night (did you know sometimes I post Monday deals a few hours early?) you can get in on this deal with the higher-value coupon! If you’re reading on Monday, it will have expired, and you’ll need to go with the $1.

Buy 1 Revlon Top Speed nail color – $5.99

(With a second $2 P.F. Chang’s coupon, $1.93 will be your total! That’s less than $1 a meal, PLUS all the “freebies!” Can you tell I really want to try the P.F. Chang’s on the super-cheap? :)

You can also substitute the Optimum Care Hair Relaxer kit for the Revlon and have the deal work out exactly the same way.

Snickers in the shape of Nutcrackers (yep, they’re cute – look for them in the Christmas aisle) are on sale 3-for-$1. Some editions of the 12/5 SS received a coupon for $2 off any 3 Snickers! The easiest way to use this? Buy 6 Snickers Nutcrackers and let that extra $1 in overage apply to MORE Snickers… great little FREE Snickers stocking stuffers!

UPDATE! Looking for super-cheap diapers? Check out this post to learn how to get them for $2.58 per jumbo pack OR $1.58 with coupon..!

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Fruit of the Loom or Jerzees sweatpants and sweatshirts are 3-for-$10 – that’s about $3.33 each! SUPER CHEAP.

Walgreens has twin-size airbeds on sale for $9.99 this week. If you have company coming for the holidays, this is a good price for these… plus, if you work it into another deal where you’re spending $25 or more, you’ll get the bonus $5 RR for spending over $25.

Dozen cartons of eggs are .99. Buy two and use this .55 off two dozen eggs to get two cartons for $1.43, or .72 a dozen – great price.

2011 wall and desk calendars and planners are $1.

Walgreens Invisible Tape is .50 a roll with the coupon in this week’s Wags ad. (Okay, so this is not technically a “no coupon needed” deal, but the coupon’s found right in the store ad :) If, like me, you have run out of tape during prime gift-wrap season, this isn’t a bad price…

And finally, over at CVS (View weekly ad)…

The crazy CVS deal of the week? Zhu Zhu Pets, Kung Zhu Ninja Warriors and Special Forces Hamsters are on sale for $10, Buy One, Get One Free. CVS has a printable store coupon for Buy Two, Get One Free.

Here’s where you may start to get a little confused, but stay with me… :) With this coupon, you will buy one and get three more free. Those of you that have taken my Super-Couponing 2 class may remember a similar sale on goldfish crackers that works like this deal does:

Buy 4 Zhu Zhu pets:

Pet #1 – $10
Pet #2 – FREE because of store’s B1G1F sale
Pet #3 = $10 (but you will use your coupon for Buy 2, get 1 free, taking this $10 off for third pet)
Pet #4 = FREE because of store’s B1G1F sale

You’ll pay $10 for all FOUR pets, or $2.50 each! A steal! The B2G1F coupon scans automatically at the register to take off the price of the third pet.

Aside from the Zhu Zhus, it’s not a terribly exciting week at CVS. The $30/$10 P&G deal continues — several people have written to say they’re working the B1G1F Pantene coupons from 11/28 PG into it. You’ll need four copies of that insert to do the deal in this way:

Buy 8 bottles of Pantene – $3.74 each ($29.92)
We need a small filler to get over $30, and while last week, Dawn dish detergent would have been the one to use, this week it’s GAIN dish detergent – .99 (now $30.91)

Use two $1-off-2 coupons on your first four bottles of Pantene (now $28.91)
Use four B1G1F coupons on your second four bottles of Pantene (now $13.95)
Use .50 off Gain coupon, also in the 11/28 PG (now $13.45)

Pay $13.45 and get $10 back in Extra Care Bucks — you’ll pay $3.45 for eight bottles of Pantene and a Gain — less than the cost of ONE Pantene. If you like Pantene and get multiple inserts, this is your best bet!

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

10ct. Candy Canes are .50 a box, limit 6 — ONLY THROUGH TUESDAY!

CVS Tip: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you! And, CVS is now advertising a Thursday preview of the coming Sunday’s ad at www.cvs.com/weeklyad, so check in on Thursday…

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.)
