A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on Illinois 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… my Super-Couponing® class is available on DVD! Own the 70+ 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, throughout the year, companies issue free coupon books that you can request to be mailed to you — register for them if you’d like, as I’ll reference them in future weeks’ deals.

“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.)

 

Looking for deals and discount codes for Chicago Tribune home delivery?
They are now offering discount subscription codes for MULTIPLE newspaper to the same address! (Link opens in new window.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel-Osco… View weekly ad | Load Jewel Avenu ecoupons | Load SavingStar ecoupons

PRINT AND SAVE: Here’s a coupon Jewel shared on Facebook for .99 off a Chicago Tribune purchased at Jewel-Osco. If you buy extra papers on the weekends, this will knock the price down to $1, same as Dollar Tree, Deal$ or Menards sell them for…

Tylenol Precise (heat patch 3ct. or 2.5oz. cream) is on sale for $5. Use the $5 coupon from the 2/19 RP and it’s FREE!

Here’s a deal on Knorr Pasta and Rice Sides (3.8-6.4oz.) They’re on sale for $1. Buy 10 and get a 30-oz. Culinary Circle Rotisserie chicken for $1.99! The 1/29 RP2 has a coupon for .50 off 2 Knorr sides.

If you figure your total, pre-coupons, for 10 Knorr and the chicken is $11.99, any number of .50-off-2s you use here, up to five, is going to drop your total even more. With one coupon, you’ll pay $11.49 for everything. With five coupons, pay $9.49! This offer is limit 1 per transaction.

Mrs. T’s Pierogies (12-16.9oz.) are on sale for $2. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from the 1/29 RP2 or March All You. You’ll pay $3 for two, or $1.50 each!

Here’s a deal for your dog! Milk Bone Dog Biscuits (26oz.) are on sale for $3. Buy two and get a $1 Catalina! Look for coupons on a tearpad near the product for $2 off 2 Milk Bone treats – these were blue with black text at my store. With coupon, pay $4 for two and get $1 back. That’s $3 for two, or $1.50 each!

BUT… it gets better! The 1/22 RP has a coupon for “Buy 2 Milk Bone treats, get Milk Bone Soft & Chewy or Healthy Favorites treat FREE.” Add a package of those, and you’re looking at $3 for three packages of treats, or $1 each!

WARNING: Even though these are tagged on the shelf as a national Catalina, with a “Buy 2 and receive a $1 coupon for your next shopping trip,” it is NOT generating multiple Catalinas if you buy in greater multiples of two. (Trust me, I tried!) Split your orders up into three treats each, one treat being the Soft & Chewy or the Healthy Favorites, and two other $3 treats of your choosing that are also tagged as part of the Catalina deal.

And, if your store does not have the tearpads up, there’s a $1-off-2 coupon in the 2/19 RP. You can do the same deal for .50 more than the above scenario.

Dean’s TruMoo Chocolate Milk gallons are on sale for $3.50. Use the .55 coupon from 2/12 SS and pay $2.95.

NOTE: THIS SAVINGSTAR ECOUPON IS SCHEDULED TO BE ACTIVATED NEXT WEEK. I AM POSTING DEALS EARLY, so don’t do this Special K deal before Monday!

SavingStar is running another “Spend $20, Save $5” promotion. This time it’s on Special K products. Buy $20 worth of Special K, and get $5 back from SavingStar. You will need to load that coupon to your Jewel-Osco card to do the following deal…

Special K Protein Meal Bars (6ct.) and Special K Protein Shakes (4ct. 10oz.) are on sale for $5.49 each. Buy two of either and get Bayer Aspirin (Advanced 40 ct.) or Bayer Low Dose Aspirin (100-120ct.) FREE with an in-store coupon.

To work the SavingStar offer into this, buy 4 of the included Special K items ($21.96.) Grab two store coupons for TWO free Bayer (and don’t forget to buy the Bayer too.) After the SavingStar ecoupon, you’re at $16.96 for everything. This drops your Special Ks to $4.24 each, and you’ll get two free Bayer too.

BUT… that’s before coupons! While SavingStar instructs not to stack a manufacturer coupon with a SavingStar ecoupon (they are both manufacturer coupons) look for tearpads near the Special K for “Buy 2 Special K Protein Bars or Shakes, Get One Free.” If you really like Special K products, you can grab two of these coupons and add TWO more packages of bars or shakes to the mix. (And guess what, for adding two more, you can add ANOTHER free Bayer too as you are BUYING two more..!)

Unfortunately, the B2G1F Special K tearpad coupons are only good up to a value of $3.50. (That’s why I said if you really like Special K products…) If you use these coupons, you WILL have to pay the $1.99 difference between the item’s price and the coupon’s value. So, adding two more boxes of bars will put you at $20.94 after the deal. Ultimately, for 6 Special Ks, that’s $3.49 each, plus THREE free Bayer.

Gorton’s Value Pack or Large Seafood (17.3-24.5oz., ad shows Shrimp Poppers, Fish Sticks) are on sale for $7.49, Buy One Get One Free. Buy two and use this $1 off 2 printable. You’ll pay $6.49 for two, or about $3.25 each! There’s also a .50 coupon in the 1/1 SS2 that will net you the same deal if you’ve got two of ’em…

IF (and I say IF, because not all Tribunes got this coupon that week – I did not) your 1/8 SS has a coupon for $1-off-2 V8 Fusion, you can do this next deal. V-8 Fusion (46oz.) is on sale for $2. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon. You’ll pay $3 for two, or $1.50 each.

BUT… there’s also a national Catalina offer running on V8 Fusion. Buy 3 bottles and get a $2 Catalina; buy 4 bottles, get a $2.50 Catalina; or buy 5 or more and get a $3 Catalina.

With two coupons, buy four bottles. Pay $6 and get $2.50 back. That’s $3.50 for four bottles, or about .88 each!

(If you did NOT get these coupons in your Trib, don’t worry. With a little e-couponing, you can do the same deal at Dominick’s this week.)

Possible Valentine’s Clearance Cookie Deal: Keep your eyes open for clearanced Pillsbury Valentine’s-themed cookies. Look what I found at my Jewel (Huntley) last week..! All of the Valentine’s Pillsbury cookies were on clearance for .50 a box. There are $1-off-2 cookie dough coupons in the 12/11/11 SS and 12/4/11 SS, and a .75-off-2 coupon in the 1/8 GM. Cut, carry… and cross your fingers in case you spot a similar clearance at your store!

(If you like holiday cookies, it’s never a bad idea to carry these coupons around anytime a holiday has just passed, as if you hit it right, you’re looking at free or very cheap cookies at any store that stocks these. And if you don’t, the next cookie-holiday will be right after St. Patrick’s Day…)

“Buy 10 and they’re .80 each” instant-savings sale Buying 10 of any of the items featured in this sale will drop the price of each item to .80! You must buy 10 to receive the .80 price. Here are your products and matchups: Banquet Brown N’ Serve breakfast sausages (6.4oz.) – .80 Banquet Regular dinners (7-12oz.) – .80 Blue Bonnet margarine quarters (16oz.) – .80 Campbell’s Microwave Bowls or Soup-at-Hand (10.75-15.4oz.) – .80 – DOUBLE-DIP CATALINA THROUGH 2/19 ONLY! Buy 4, get a $1.25 Catalina – .50 off 2 – 1/8 SS1 – DEAL IDEA: With two .50-off-2 coupons, buy 4.After coupons and Catalina, you’ll pay .95 for four, or about .24 each! Again, the Catalina ends 2/19! Cascade Ice Sparkling Water (17.2oz.) – .80 Chef Boyardee Pasta with meat (14.5-15oz. cans or 7.25-7.5oz. microwave bowls) – .80 Crunch n’ Munch popcorn (3.5oz.) – .80 David Sunflower Seeds (5.25oz.) – .80 Glaceau Vitaminwater (20oz.) – .80 Gulden’s Mustard (12oz.) – .80 Healthy Choice soup (15oz.) – .80 – $1 off 3 – printable Hunt’s Ketchup (24oz.) – .80 Hunt’s Snack Pack pudding (14oz. 4ct.) – .80 Hunt’s Spaghetti sauce (24-26oz. cans) – .80 Hunt’s Tomatoes (canned 14.5-15.25oz., regular, fire roasted or diced) – .80 – .45 off 3 – 1/22 SS Ice Mountain water (3 liter) – .80 Jewel Pitted Olives (6oz.) – .80 Jewel Sloppy Joe sauce (15.5oz.) – .80 Joan of Arc canned beans (15-15.5oz.) – .80 Kellogg’s Cereal cups (1.25-1.5oz.) – .80 Lawry’s Mixes (.7-1.62oz. beef marinade, chili, gravy, mexican seasoning or spaghetti sauce) – .80 Mars Fun Size candy bars (6ct. package) – .80 Orville Redenbacher’s 2-step popcorn (3.2oz.) – .80 PowerBar (1.58-2.29oz.) – .80 Renuzit Adjustables (7.5oz.) – .80 – .55 off 3 – 1/22 RP Scotties Facial Tissue (60-132ct.) – .80 – .50 off 3 – 2/12 RP Shoppers Value Paper Towels (1ct. roll) – .80 Shoppers Value Pasta (12oz.) – .80 SmartWater (1liter) – .80 Trident multipack gum (3ct.) – .80 Uncle Ben’s Country Inn Rice (6oz.) – .80 – $1 off 4 – 1/22 RP Wolf Chili (15oz.) – .80 – .40 off – 1/22 SS BEST BETS: – Campbell’s soups are .55 each for the microwavable varieties – cheap work-day lunches! – Canned olives are cheap, even without a coupon. – Healthy Choice soups work out to about .47 each after coupon too. – Hunt’s Tomatoes are .65 each after the deal. – Scotties facial tissues are about .63 per box after the deal – a pretty good price. – Uncle Ben’s Country Inn Rice is .55 after the deal, and… – Wolf Chili is .40 a can after coupon. Cheap!

Jewel is also running an instant-savings deal on Essential Everyday house-branded items. Buy 6, Save $3. No coupons available for these, but your post-instant-savings price is:

Essential Everyday Toaster Pastries or Fruit Snacks (6ct., 5.4oz.) – $1

Essential Everyday Instant Oatmeal, Quick or Old Fashioned Oats, Cereals, Chewy Granola Bars, or Fruit & Grain Bars (various) – $1.75

Essential Everyday Cereals, Good Day Bars, Granola Bars or Fiber Max Bars (various) – $2

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Single rolls of Brawny or Sparkle paper towels are .99. (I know the store brands are usually .99 every day, but those rolls usually have less sheets in comparison. If you need them, this isn’t bad… or look to the CVS deals for better prices on Bounty this week.)

16oz. loves of Jewel white, wheat, or 100% wheat bread are .77 each – great price for 100%!

Taste of Home FREE Cookbook, 5-cup Rice Cooker and 12-quart Tamale Steamer P&G Promotion

Jewel is running an “A Taste Of Home” mail-in promotion on P&G products. Buy $25 worth of P&G products in one transaction and receive a 2-piece cookware set and one cookbook of your choice via mail (view ad here.)

The cookware is a 12-quart tamale steamer, a 5-cup rice cooker, and one of the following cookbooks: “Fresh Mexico,” “Latin Grilling,” or “Cocina Cubana.” $25 worth of goods must be purchased in the same transaction, and you must submit a receipt from the same store you found the forms in (must be from Jewel – cannot use a Dominick’s receipt, etc.)

The offer runs through 4/30/12. Look for the forms for this rebate in Spanish/Latino Jewel locations.

The form for this offer is online too on another store’s website. Several readers called the number on the form and were told that printable versions would be accepted.

UPDATE! On 2/11, I received my A Taste of Home package. It contained the rice cooker, the “Latin Grilling” cookbook I chose, and a note stating that due to overwhelming demand, the tamale steamer will not be available until June 2012, so it will ship separately.

Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | 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. Load these offers 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 Feb. 16-22 flyer – “Go Organic! Prices are now Lower” on cover:

• Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts (12ct. big boxes) are on sale for $1.99, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy one and use this .70 printable. You’ll pay $1.29! Want more? Buy three more and use this $1-off-3 printable. You’ll pay $4.97 for three big boxes, or about $1.66 each!

• Mott’s Apple Juice (64oz.) is $1.79, limit 3, with Super Coupon.
   
• Kleenex (50-184ct.) is .99 a box, limit 2, with Super Coupon. While there are .50-off-3 coupons to stack, there’s not much point in doing so as your third box will be quite overpriced.
   
• Lucerne chunk or shredded cheese (8-12oz.) is $1.79, limit 4, with Super Coupon.
   

Dominick’s has more “Just For U”-only sales running this week. Head over to www.dominicks.com and load ecoupons for:

– Lucerne Half Gallon Milk – $1.17 each, limit 2. SUPER DOUBLE DIP on this, which I’ll share with you in a moment…
– Lucerne dozen large eggs are .97 each, limit 2
– 3lb. boxes of Perdue Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts are $5.77, limit 1. That’s about $1.92/lb.
– Lay’s Potato Chips (10-10.5oz.) are $1.88 each, limit 2. They are ALSO on sale Buy One Get One Free. Buy FOUR bags, and you will pay $1.88 each for the two you’re buying. That works out to .94 per bag!

If you want to do a SUPER DOUBLE DIP milk deal, load the Just For U ecoupon noted above for the $1.17 Lucerne half-gallons. Then, check out the back page of this week’s Dominick’s ad! They’re offering a “Buy 2, Save $1” instant-savings sale on a variety of items which I’ll break out further below for you. One of them is… Lucerne half gallons of milk!

So, here’s how the deal works. Load the ecoupon for $1.17 Lucerne milk. Buy two half gallons (now $2.34.)

Receive $1 in instant-savings for buying 2 milks, and you’ll pay $1.34 for two, or .67 each!

SUNDAY ONLY DEALS:

Prego Heart Smart pasta sauce (23.25-24oz.) is $1.49. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from 1/8 SS1. You’ll pay $1.98 for two, or .99 each.

Sorrento String Cheese (13.3-16oz.) is $3.99.

22-46oz. bags of Perdue Breaded Chicken Selections (nuggets, Disney Cars) are $4.99. For the biggest bag, that works out to about $1.74/lb.

MONDAY ONLY DEALS:

Safeway Softly Bath Tissue (12 double rolls) is on sale for $5. That works out to about .42 per double roll, a fair price.

Safeway Thirsty Paper Towels (8 rolls) are also on sale for $5. That works out to about .63 per roll, a good price.

IF (and I say IF, because not all Tribunes got this coupon that week – I did not) your 1/8 SS has a coupon for $1-off-2 V8 Fusion, you can do this next deal. V-8 Fusion (46oz.) is on sale for $2. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon. You’ll pay $3 for two, or $1.50 each.

BUT… there’s also a national Catalina offer running on V8 Fusion. Buy 3 bottles and get a $2 Catalina; buy 4 bottles, get a $2.50 Catalina; or buy 5 or more and get a $3 Catalina.

With two coupons, buy four bottles. Pay $6 and get $2.50 back. That’s $3.50 for four bottles, or about .88 each!

WITH ECOUPONS: (If you did NOT get these coupons in your Trib, don’t worry. With a little e-couponing, you can do the same deal: Dominick’s have the V8 Fusion and the regular V8 in Deal Match, matching Jewel’s price of $2 per bottle. Go to www.dominicks.com and load the $2 Deal Match price. Then, while you’re still on Dominicks.com, head over to Dominick’s Coupon Center. There are two e-coupons for $1-off-2 V8 Fusion and $1-off-2 regular V8. Load these to your Fresh Values card.

Buy four. With the Deal Match, you’re at $8. With the two $1 ecoupons, you’re at $6. Pay $6 and get a $2.50 Catalina. Same deal – $3.50 for four bottles, or about .88 each!

If you’re a Coke Rewards member sitting on coupons for FREE 12-packs of Coca-Cola, this is a great week to use them at Dominick’s. 12-packs of Coke products are on sale Buy Two, Get Two Free plus get 1 FREE Nabisco Snack Crackers!

If you have two coupons, they will cover the prices of the first two cases, and the other two cases will be FREE with the store’s sale, plus you’ll get a free box of crackers.

Now, you’d think that would be FOUR free cases of Coke, but Dominick’s puts their 12-packs notoriously high during this sale at $6.29 each. The Coke Rewards free coupons are good up to $4.99, so you’ll pay $1.30 each for your first two packs, then get the other two free plus free crackers. That’s $2.60 for four 12-packs, or about .65 each – and again, don’t forget to grab your free crackers too.

Yoplait GoGurt (8ct.) is on sale for $2. Buy two and use the .75-off-2 coupon from 2/5 GM or 1/8 GM. You’ll pay $3.25 for two, or about $1.63 each.

4-packs of Dannon Activia yogurt are on sale for $2. Use the $1 coupon from the 2/12 SS or February All You. You’ll pay $1!

Here’s a fun deal that reader Brandy spotted on Hip2Save. The deal is on 4-packs of Icee freezes (like individual sherbet cups, but they’re Icees.) They’re on sale for $1.49 through 3/27. Buy three and receive $3 in instant-savings! That drops you to $1.47 for THREE boxes, or .49 each!

(You can take a look at the photo over at Hip2Save too so you know what you’re looking for!)

“Enjoy Milk All Day” Buy 2, Save $1″ Instant-Savings Sale

Buying any two of the following products will generate $1 in instant-savings. The ad says “Buy two or more, save $1,” so I am guessing you will get .50 off each price There are no prices in the ad, so the following prices are from Safeway’s online delivery guide. I would use these prices as a guideline though as dairy prices for some items can vary even from store to store in the same geographical area.

Coffee-Mate Creamer (32oz. big bottle) – $3.79
– .55 off – printable
– .75 off 2 – printable
– $1.85 off 3 – printable

Meijer’s running a “Spend $20, Get $4” Catalina deal on ANY Cottonelle, Viva, Kleenex or Palmolive products. Judging from what’s in the ad, the easiest deals here would be:

Buy one Viva 12ct. Giant Roll paper towels (ad says this is equivalent to 18 regular rolls) – $15.99
Buy one Kleenex 4ct. bundle (cubes or flats) – $5.29

Use the $1 Viva coupon from 1/15 SS
Use the .50 Kleenex coupon from 2/12 SS

After coupons, pay $19.78 and get a $4 Catalina. That puts you at $15.78 for everything. Breaking this out per-unit, you have 12 rolls of paper towels and 4 boxes of Kleenex, so about .98 each. “Okay,” but not a super deal unless you really like Viva.

You could also do this:

Buy one Cottonelle 30 double rolls bath tissue (equivalent to 60 rolls [really!]) – $15.99
Buy one Kleenex 4ct. bundle (cubes or flats) – $5.29

Use the .50 Kleenex coupon from 2/12 SS
Pay $20.78 and get a $4 Catalina. That’s $16.78 for everything. Also breaking this out per-unit, you have 30 rolls of TP and 4 Kleenex, so about .49 per item. .50 or less is a good price for double rolls of toilet paper, so while this is a fine deal, we have also seen it cheaper. But if you need toilet paper, it’s fair.

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Big Pack boxes of Luvs Diapers (66-108ct.) are $16.99

Meijer frozen chicken breast nuggets (26-32oz.) are $3.50

Meijer shredded or chunk cheese (5-8oz.) is 3-for-$5, or $1.67 each

5lb. bags of Meijer flour are $1.59

Meijer frozen orange juice concentrate(12oz.) is $1.50

Are you a Meijer Mperks member? 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:

• Pork shoulder bone-in country-style ribs are $1.69/lb.
• 4lb. bags of Meijer boneless skinless chicken tenders are $7.99 – that’s about $2/lb.

Meijer seafood deals:

• 16oz. packages of Meijer tilapia fillets are $3.50
• 16oz. packages of Meijer cod fillets are $3.99

Meijer produce deals:

• 8lb. bags of large russet potatoes are $2.99 – that’s about .37/lb.
• 5lb. bags of Texas Red grapefruit are $2.99 – that’s about .60/lb.
• 2lb. bags of Earthbound Farm organic carrots are $1.50 – that’s .75/lb.
• Fresh asparagus are .99/lb.
• Red or Golden Delicious, Braeburn or Jonagold apples are .99/lb. ($1.29/lb. for organic Fuji or Gala)
• 4lb. boxes of sweet seedless mandarins are $4.99 – that’s about $1/lb.
• 1lb. containers of strawberries are 3-for-$5, or $1.67 each

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.

Land O’Lakes butter quarters (16oz.) are on sale for $2.99. Use the $1 coupon from 1/15 SS and pay $1.99!

Kroger’s “Daytona 500: Save $3 Now, Save $2 Later” combination instant-savings-and-Catalina deal is back again this year! If you remember this sale from last year, it was a lot of fun. Buying any 10 featured products in the ad generated $3 in instant savings AND a $2 Catalina for your next shopping trip. The ad shows the after INSTANT prices, but not the after Catalina prices. The prices shown will also drop by .20 each when you figure the Catalina savings in, but to stay consistent with the prices in the ad, I am blogging the post-instant-savings price first here. Again, you must buy ten to receive these prices.

WATCH prices here though, as just because something is IN the deal, doesn’t make it a GREAT deal. ($1.49 Ragu? $1.69 Green Giant Steamers? $2.19 Betty Crocker fruit snacks?! I’d like to have seen these around $1 before coupons, etc. But you get the idea…) Other things are fine, even without coupons (Kraft BBQ sauce at .69 BEFORE the Catalina, Minute Maid at $2.19…)

DEAL IDEAS:

Things that look good to me…

Cottonelle: If you buy two, after the Kroger Catalina AND the Cottonelle Catalina, you’re at $8.58 for two, or $4.29 each – that works out to about .36 per double roll, a very good price.

Degree and Dove deodorant work out to .49 after coupon and Catalina.

Kraft Barbecue Sauce is .49 a bottle after Catalina, no coupons needed!

Pillsbury Grands biscuits are a steal and the BEST buy during this sale. They’re .79 a can after Catalina, and with a .30 doubled coupon, you’re paying .19 each after everything!

Ragu works out to .79 a jar after Catalina and coupon.

Totino’s Party Pizzas are really cheap too. After the Catalina, they’re .79 each. With the .75-off-3 coupon, they will be .54 each after the deal. With the $1-off-5 printable or ecoupon, you’re looking at .59 each — still a deal!

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

12-16oz. (big packages) of Kroger chunk or shredded cheese are $2.99

Dozen cartons of Kroger large eggs are $1.25

Kroger bread and buns are $1 each

Kroger meat deals:

• Tyson split chicken breasts, drumsticks or thighs are .97/lb.
• Boneless pork half loin is $1.97/lb.

Here are your Hilander deals (also running at Logli and Schnucks)… View weekly ad

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. I have had some readers from DeKalb write and ask if these deals will also apply to their store. In looking at both ads, SOME of the deals are the same, but Rockford at times has a Hilander-specific wraparound that isn’t a part of the DeKalb Schnucks ad. Remember too that the DeKalb store does not double coupons.

The current ad is good through TUESDAY, Feb. 21st.

Dannon Activia yogurt (4ct.) is on sale for $1.88. Use the $1 coupon from the 2/12 SS or February All You and pay .88!

This week’s ad is showing a deal on Unilever products: “Save up to $12. Coupon prints at checkout. See store for details.” (Um… is Schnuck’s taking a page from Dominick’s here? People want to know what things cost BEFORE we go to the store…)

A phonecall to the Cherry Valley Schnuck’s reveals that it is a “Spend $20, Get $5” OR a “Spend $40, Get $12” Catalina offer. Why not put that in the ad?!

Anyway, here are your products and matchups:

Bertolli Pasta Sauce (15-24oz.) – $2

Country Crock (45oz) – $2.98

Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (22-30oz.) – $2.99
– .25 off – 1/29 RP

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter (8-16oz.) – $2.50
– .50 off – 1/29 RP

Klondike or Breyers (48oz.) – $3.50

Lipton Family Size Tea Bags (24ct.) – $2
– .50 off – 1/29 RP2
– .40 off – 1/29 RP2

Magnum Ice Cream Bars (3ct.) – $2.99

Ragu (16-26 oz.) – $1.50
– $1 off 2 – 1/29 RP2

Skippy Peanut Butter (15-16.3oz.) – $2.50

Wish-Bone Salad Dressing (16oz.) – $1.50
– .65 off 2 – 1/29 RP

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Cheetos, Fritos or Fritos Dip (8.5-10.5oz.) are $1.88

Schnucks single-serve applesauce cups (6ct.) are $1.50

Value Time 4lb. bags of sugar are .99, limit 1 – A STEAL!

Hilander meat deals:

• Pork spare ribs are $1.79/lb.

Hilander produce deals:

• 5lb. bags of russet potatoes are .99 – that’s about .20/lb.!
• 8lb. bags of California seedless navel oranges are $5.99 – that’s about .75/lb.
• 16oz. bags of Schnuck’s frozen vegetables are $1
• 5lb. boxes of Cuties Mandarins are $6.88 – that’s about $1.38/lb.
• 2lb. bags of Sunkist lemons are $2.99 – that’s about $1.50/lb.

Off to Target…
View weekly ad | Print store coupons from Target.com …

Target’s ad is again light on sales this week, but if you need toilet paper, their Charmin deal isn’t too bad this week. Charmin 9ct. Mega Rolls or 18ct. Double Rolls are on sale for $10.49. Buy two and get a $5 Target gift card FREE!

There’s a measly .25 coupon for Charmin in the 1/29 RP. But reader Msam spotted a $1 TARGET store coupon to stack in the 1/22 RP. If you have two of EACH coupon, pay $18.48 for two and get a $5 gift card back. That works out to $13.48 for two, or $6.74 each.

That works out to about .37 per double roll, or .75 per mega roll – good prices!

The white chocolate lover in me is always excited to see White Chocolate M&Ms return to Target around Easter season. The ad notes they are “Only at Target” and, well, they’re delicious. 9.9oz. bags of white chocolate M&Ms (and 12.6oz. milk chocolate M&Ms) are $2.89 this week at Target. The February All You has a $1 coupon which will drop these to $1.89. Or, buy two and use the $1.50-off-2 coupon from 1/22 RP. You’ll pay $4.28 for two, or $2.14 a bag.

(Yes, I’ll try to pick some of these up AFTER Easter when they’re cheap too… if there are any left.)

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)…

NEW: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE WALGREENS AD: Walgreens is no longer putting its entire ad in the paper newspaper version. There are now online-only ad pages that you can look at via this link: View weekly ad

I will be noting the online-ad-only deals with the “Bonus Buys” icon shown at right. This is the same icon Walgreens is also using in their online-only ad pages.

Tylenol Precise (heat patch 3ct. or 2.5oz. cream) is on sale for $5. Use the $5 coupon from the 2/19 RP and it’s FREE!

For a Keebler deal, buy two and use the .55-off-2 coupon from the 2/19 RP. You’ll pay $3.45 for two, or about $1.73 each!

Planters 16oz. peanuts are on sale two-for-$6. Use the $1-off-2 store coupon in the February Walgreens book (found on racks in the front of the store) and stack this with the $1.50-off-2 coupon from the 1/29 SS. After the stack, you’ll pay $3.50 for two, or $1.75 each.

Walgreens store coupon deals:

Nice! Aluminum Foil (25 sq. ft.) is on sale for .79, limit 3, with store coupon.

Reader Nice2save points out that the new $15 rebate when you buy $50 worth of selected P&G products would be great to combine with this sale, as you’d already be at $44.99 in purchases toward the $50! Great way to get a deal on Whitestrips!

And finally, over at CVS (View weekly ad) | Load SavingStar ecoupons

Boiron Coldcalm (60ct.) is on sale for $6.99. Buy it and get $6.99 back in Extra Care Bucks, making it FREE!

Tylenol Precise (heat patch 3ct. or 2.5oz. cream) is on sale for $7.49. Buy it and get $2 back in ECBs! Use the $5 coupon from the 2/19 SS. Pay $2.49 and get $2 back, making this .49!

Here’s a deal on Beneful dog food! It’s part of a “Spend $20, Get $5 in Extra Care Bucks” deal on pet food (Pedigree and Friskies are also included… but Beneful’s the best this week.) 3.5-4.4lb. bags are on sale for $4.50 each. There’s a $2.50 coupon in the new 1/29 RP that figures nicely into this… and the more you have, the better it will be.

Five bags of Beneful will put you at $22.50.

With two $2.50 coupons, pay $17.50 and get $5 back. $12.50 for five is $2.50 each!

AND… with five $2.50 coupons, pay $10 and get $5 back. $5 for five is $1 each!

Cottonelle Bath Tissue (Regular or Ultra 18 big roll) is on sale for $7.99, limit 3. This is already a good price for TP, so buy two and load this .50-off-2 SavingStar ecoupon. You’ll pay $15.48 for two, or $7.74 each. That works out to .43 per “big roll.”

(What’s a good price for toilet paper? A good benchmark is .25 per single roll, .50 per double roll, .75 per triple roll, and so on. It does get confusing when companies create things like the “big roll,” but if the big roll falls between the single and double, it’s a good price. If it’s between the double and the triple roll, it’s a very good price!)

Bounty Basic paper towels (8ct.) are $6.49, limit 3. Use the .25 coupon from 1/29 PG and pay $6.24! That works out to about .81 each, a decent price if you need them.

Kleenex (100ct. regular or 70ct. lotion) are on sale for .88 each, limit 6. Buy three and use the .50-off-3 coupon from the 2/12 SS, or load the .50-off-3 ecoupon at SavingStar. After coupon or ecoupon, you’ll pay $2.14 for three, or .71 each! It must be paper product week, but this is a good price if you need them.

Eclipse Gum (18ct.) is part of an ECB deal. Buy three packs at $1 each and get $2 back in Extra Care Bucks! That drops these to 3-for-$1, or about .33 per pack!

Duracell Alkaline batteries (4ct. AA or AAA, 2c. C or D, or 1ct. 9 volt) are on sale for $3.99. Buy a pack and get $1 back in ECBs! Use the .75 coupon from 1/29 PG. You’ll pay $3.24 and get $1 back, making your batteries $2.24.

Dial NutriSkin Lotion (21oz., big bottle) is on sale for $4.99. Buy it and get $2 back in ECBs! Use the $1 coupon from the 2/19. You’ll pay $3.99 and get $2 back, making this $1.99!

L’Oreal products are involved in a “Spend $25, get $10 in ECBs” deal. Unfortunately, the two that are included cost $30 and $20. (How do we get to $25?!) The best bet here, if you want it, is the L’Oreal Youth Code Starter Kit. It’s $30. Use the $3 coupon from 1/22 RP. You’ll pay $27 and get $10 back, dropping it to $17 after the deal.

Once again, CVS is running their “Spend $30, Get $10 CVS Gift Card” deal. Buy $30 worth of included items and get $10 back to spend at CVS! Here are your products and matchups:

Garnier Fructis Stylers (1-8.5oz.) – $2.99

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

This week, again, CVS is running a “Spend $10, Get $3” on Nivea products. Buying $10 worth of Nivea products will generate $3 in ECBs!

The BEST item to use here is the Nivea Lip Care. .17-.2oz. Lip Care is on sale for $2.50. There’s a $3-off-2 coupon in the 2/12 RP. Buy four Lip Care ($10.) Use two $3-off-2 coupons (now $4.) Pay $4 and get $3 back in ECBs. That’s $1 for four, or .25 each!

CVS Tips: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you!

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.

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 absolutely filled with coupons each month — typically $50-$100 worth per issue! 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.)
