Whaaat..? Deals on Thursday?
Due to a busy radio schedule again this week, the Deals of the Week are actually hitting the airwaves on January 22nd! And while many of you know that Thurs-Sat aren’t always the most optimal days to shop at the grocery store, the drugstores are always offering great weeklong sales… and I managed to put together some grocery deals too!
So without further ado… here’s another rare, unusual, bonus THURSDAY installment of Deals of the Week…
If you’re new to the site, take a quick minute to read Using this site and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon lingo and abbreviations…
Kicking things off, how about some FREE juice at Target? Ocean Spray juice is on sale for $1.99. Pair Print this $1 Ocean Spray manufacturer coupon with a $1 Target coupon and pick it up for FREE! The 1/11 RP also has a $1 coupon in it that can be stacked with a Target coupon too for MORE free juice… (Note that the Target store coupon specifies “one per transaction,” so you may need to break these into separate purchases if you’re buying more than one.)
Over at Meijer, Beech-Nut baby food is CHEAP! It’s on sale 4 for a dollar. Use the $1 off 10 coupon from 1/4 SS and pick this up for just 15 cents a jar…
The following are reprints from Tuesday’s deals, as they are still current:
Still at Meijer, many varieties of Special K frozen waffles are ringing up at $0.69 a box. The 12/14 RP insert has a .75 coupon that will make these FREE! There’s also a $1 off 2 coupon in the same insert that would make your next two boxes really cheap too! This is an unmarked clearance on certain flavors, so check at the price-checker and verify to make sure yours are included.
Over at CVS, there are a bunch of freebies this week! They’ve got a great deal going on American Greetings cards! Buy any 3 cards and get $3 back in ECBs! Now, how do you make this the best deal for yourself? By buying THREE .99 cards! Buy three, spend $2.97, and get $3 back in ECBS!
Still at CVS, Reeses Whips candy bars are on sale for .50 each. Use the $1 off 2 coupon from 1/4 SS and pick these up for FREE!
STILL at CVS, Excedrin is on sale for $1.99. Use the $2 off Excedrin coupon from 10/19 SS and pick this up for FREE too! Now, depending on what kind of Valentine’s day you have planned, these three ingredients (cards… chocolates… and painkillers) might come in handy. Hee hee…
And yes, even after all that, we’re still not done with CVS. Herbal Essences shampoo is on sale for $2.99. For each bottle you buy (limit 5) you’ll get a $1 ECB back. Use the $1 coupon from 12/28 PG and pick this up for just $1 a bottle!
Now, the real bonus? Look for the bottles with a green sticker advertising a FREE haircut! That’s right — buying 2 bottles will net you a voucher good for a free haircut. So, for $2, you can get clean hair AND a new hairstyle :)
Over at Walgreens, Dawn dish detergent is cheap! Use the .99 store coupon from the Walgreens flier with the .50 manufacturer coupon from the 12/14 PG and pick this up for .49 a bottle!
Still at Walgreens, boxes of Kleenex are .99 with the store coupon from their flier. Pair this with the .40 coupon from 1/4 SS and pick them up for .59 a box!
KMart’s Super Double coupons are back! Certain locations are doubling up to and including $2 (the Round Lake Beach Super K is one I know that’s involved – check your flier and see if your local store is too!) And get this… in other market areas, some stores are doubling up to and including $3 coupons! WOW! This is the first time they’ve done this, so check your store’s zip code and see if your store is participating. And if they are, take this $5 off $50 Kmart store coupon and save even more!
CVS, Walgreens, and Kmart deals run through Saturday.
Johnson’s Buddies baby soap has a printable coupon again, and if you’ve taken my Super-Couponing class, you know what this means… FREE soaps! (Even if you don’t have a baby – it’s free soap! Use it at your bathroom sink or wherever you might need some free soap…) Print 2 of this coupon for $2 off 2 Johnson’s Buddies products. The soaps are under $1 at both Target and Walmart, so print two and pick up 4 free bars!
Perhaps you heard about this one… due to a price-fixing class action lawsuit, starting on Tuesday, Jan. 20, major cosmetic manufacturers will be giving away FREE makeup and skincare products! Really! These are high-end brands too, like Guerlain, Givenchy, Lancome, Chanel, and Clarins. Take a look and see what you can get just by visiting a store with a participating makeup counter (Macy’s, Carson’s, Nordstrom and others are included.) You can get one free product per store. They are giving the products away for free for seven days, or when products run out, whichever comes first.
And lastly, Oberweis locations (ice cream/dairy shops) are offering FREE coffee this Friday! Stop in and grab a cup :)
Web Freebies:
Free 4-pack of Hansens Junior Water (like juice boxes, but water)
Free Boost Kid Essentials (nutrition drink)
Free Pampers Potty-training Kit (with free Easy-Ups, high-value coupons, stickers and rewards)
Free $10 coupon book from Eat Better America (General Mills)

Hi Jill, Thanks again for an awesome class last night in Darien. It was well worth the trip to hear you speak! I have tried to print the soap coupons that you spoke of off your site and I cannot get them to print. Just wondered if I am doing something wrong, or if the link is not working. Thanks again for enlightening us!

I went to the Super Kmart in Round Lake Beach and they are not giving double coupons. Was very disappointed.

Went to get my free Ocean Spray at Target today. First Target, no problems but I did have other items to purchase. Second Target, no problems the FIRST transaction-again, with other items. I put my stuff in the car and went back in to get JUST the juice. Problems!!
Wouldn’t scan the 2nd coupon because coupons were worth $2, juice was $1.99. I asked the cashier if she could adjust the coupon down to .99. She didn’t know, called someone. Some “Lady” came over, she didn’t know either and said she didn’t think I could use both because then they would end up owing me money (not true because of tax). She explained to the “Lady” that I had just used both coupons not even 5 minutes ago and I chimed in and said I had purchased other things with it, that’s why it worked. 2nd person comes over, he doesn’t know-he’ll call “John”. Meantime, “Scott” comes over, says no, I can’t use both a store coupon & manufacturer coupon. I say I can-I just did, just adjust one coupon. “John” calls (over the walkie? Don’t really know) and says that no, I cannot use both-one coupon will cancel out the other. In fairness to “John”, I don’t know if it was explained to him that one was a store and one a manufacturer. So, “Lady” asked me which coupon I wanted to use-I said neither, and left. Totally forgot to have them check the coupon policy!! Argh! But I will be calling corporate this afternoon. Stopped back at my first Target, bought a candy bar with my Ocean Spray (not in the mood to go through it again), and all was fine.
So, just a warning to all of you–buy something else with your juice or be prepared (with coupon policy) to try to educate some Target employees! (Actually, I kind of hope that all of you ONLY buy Ocean Spray to create a ruckus. Sorry, that was the little devil in me! :) )
The second Target (Hodgkins) did have the coupon files in their Dollar Spot but I do think that I got the last big one.

Hi, Jill:
From attending your Super Couponing 2 class – I know that January is supposed to be a good month to get deals on oatmeal. I haven’t noticed any particular good sales. Wondering if I have missed something or perhaps some great sale is yet to come ? What would you consider a good price for a box ?
Thanks…
mocars2 says
Any good coupons for candy at Target for a filler so we can use both Grapefruit coupons without any hassles? Also I thought I read somewhere that some store was having the buy 2 Ocean Spray bottles and get a 5LB. of grapefruits free like Jewel last week, but I can’t remember what store it was.
mickk6 says
Before I go to Target I would like to know if anyone has success in buying several juices together. I have 6 coupons and I would love to use them all at once. Please share.
Thanks…

I might just be blind but I can’t seem to find the Beechnut baby food coupons. I looked in all of my SS 1/4 coupons and can’t find them??
lconrad723 says
I was in target this a.m. to purchase the Ocean Spray juice along with a bag of M & M’s. I presented both the Target and Internet Coupons. The cashier reluctantly accepted both coupons after I advised her of their coupon policy (1 Target Coupon & 1 Manuf. Coupon) A manager was called over and stated that they do not accept Internet Coupons but agreed to make an exception. The manager stressed that they will not accept internet coupons in the future do to previous issues with these types of coupons. I did communicate to the manager that the coupon was directly from the Ocean Spray website and could be verified. Has anyone else run into this with the Ocean Spray Coupon or any of the other internet coupons?

What tax rate are you paying on juice? Is it considered food or not? I just looked at my receipt from this morning and I paid 13.25% tax in Chicago.
YIKES!!!
vitalo44 says
