Can you believe that we’re almost an entire month into 2009 already? Hope everyone’s new year has already been filled with BIG grocery savings! Welcome to all the new Super-Couponers joining us from Huntley, McHenry, and Lake in the Hills this 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. Unless otherwise noted, Jewel deals run through Wednesday of this week, and the pharmacy deals run through Saturday.
Starting at Jewel, let’s get ready for the Super Bowl! Wholly Salsa (a great, fresh salsa found in the produce section) is on sale Buy One, Get One Free for $3.69. Print two $1 coupons, use one on each that you’re buying, and pick these up for 85 cents each! The 1/4 SS also has $1 off 1 Wholly Salsa coupon, and there’s a .50 coupon for it in the same insert, as well as in the 1/18 SS. However you look at it, that’s a lot of cheap salsa for game day!
How about some chicken or burgers for game day too? Jewel’s got a meat deal going “4 meats for $19.99.” Now, when you see these deals, you can mix or match any meats included in the offer (they have stickers on top to show you which ones are in.) Not all of the meats are a good deal here, but the two that are:
3 lbs. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3lbs. of lean ground beef
If you buy 4 packages of either of these (you can mix and match) you will pay $19.99 for 12 pounds of meat. That’s $1.66 a pound — a very good price for any meat (even without a coupon.) Those would definitely be the best iitems to use with this deal!
While at Jewel too, look for the display of FREE 3D glasses for Super-Bowl halftime viewing. They’re near the display for SoBe drinks!
Still at Jewel, Pop-Tarts are cheap again… they’re $1.67 a box, and many locations have restocked the varieties with $1 peelie coupons right on the box. Grab some of these and you’ll take them home for just .67!
Over at Wal-Mart, many locations have marked Iams Healthy Naturals cat food bags (1.8lb) down to $3.33. Use the $3 coupon from 12/14 PG and pick this up for just .33 a bag…
Need some cheap soda for the Super Bowl too? Walgreens has 2 liters of Dr. Pepper, A&W, and Sunkist on sale 3 for $4. When you buy 3, you’ll get $2 back in Register Rewards… making these just .67 a bottle…
Still at Walgreens, let’s take home some FREE chocolate too! In the current Walgreens’ flier, there’s a coupon for Buy One Get One Free Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bars. Pair that with the B1G1F manufacturer coupon from SS 1/25, and you’ll be taking home TWO for free! :)
While at Walgreens, let’s take home some FREE toothpaste too! Colgate Total is on sale for $2.99 with a $2 Register Reward – you’ll get $2 of your money back for buying this item.
Use this $1.50 coupon to buy your toothpaste. You’ll pay $1.49… and get $2 back in RRs! It’s a toothpaste moneymaker!
Still at Walgreens, Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil is a moneymaker! Use the coupon in the Walgreens flier to get it for .89 a box… and then use the $1 coupon from 12/14 SS to not only get it for free, but get .11 overage too! (Note: Some people are reporting that they have a full-page ad for Reynolds Wrap instead of the coupons. Sometimes this happens if a coupons is only distributed regionally…)
And still at Walgreens, you can give yourself an entirely new look for less than $2… Revlon ColorSilk haircolor is $1.99 with the coupon in the current Walgreens flier. Stack that with the $1 off 2 manufacturer coupon from 1/11 SS and pick two packages up for just $1.49 each!
Over at CVS, don’t you want some free shampoo too? Gillette men’s shampoo or conditioner is on sale for $4.99. When you buy a bottle, you’ll get $3 back in Extra Care Bucks. Use the $2 coupon from 1/18 PG.. pay $1.99… and get $2 back in ECBs! Enjoy that free shampoo :)
Still at CVS, Pantene’s really cheap too… It’s also $4.99 with a $3 ECB. Use the $3 off 2 coupon from 12/28 PG… pay $6.98 for 2 bottles… and get $6 back in ECBs! That’s just .49 a bottle!
Back again this week… how about some FREE juice at Target? Ocean Spray cranberry juice drinks are priced at $1.99 a bottle at most stores. Pair Print this $1 Ocean Spray manufacturer coupon with a $1 Target store 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… and the 12/7 RP has a .55 coupon for it too, so you can get another bottle cheap as well. (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.)
Now, if you’ve been with the site for a while, you know Target changes their web coupons each Sunday. But the coupons from previous weeks are still out there – they’re just not linked from Target.com anymore. So what’s a shopper to do? Enter the Target Coupon Generator, which links to those “hidden” coupons and allows you to print them. This is the one exception to the “print those Target coupons in the store!” rule. :) When they’re off the site, this is the only other way to get them! So you can head over there and still print this wonderful Ocean Spray coupon.

I just noticed in my CVS flier that it’s Sunday & Monday only. PLEASE tell me that it’s not true!!! I can’t make it out tonight!
**Phew, I’m just a dork and misread the ad! Thank goodness! *sigh of relief*

The B1G1F Chocolate deal at Walgreens didn’t work out for me.
Using their coupon for Hershey’s and the mfgs. brought out the manager explaining very politely they could not honor them because it was against their company policy. However, he did give me 48 centers off each coupon instead which the sales clerk mentioned it was because I was a a frequent customer at their location (Crystal Lake). I did have other items I purchased that did not include coupons. From what I recall from my past purchases, that has always been the case. I’ve only been able to use the B1G1F mfg coupons along with a B1G1F store sale successfully at Jewels.

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the link for the colgate coupon?
newbie2couponing says
Where is this stuff? Is it with the regular cat food or some secret clearance aisle? I never shop at Walmart but went today to get the cat food. They have NO bags under 3 lbs. of ANY kind of cat food. This was at Walmart in Forest Park.
khammarone says
I was at Walgreens and noticed the signs for the $2 RR were only under the regular Colgate toothpaste, not the “Advanced” kinds listed on the coupon. Will the coupon work for regular Colgate or will the RR still print with the “Advanced”?
shuser says
I went to get the wholly salsa at Jewel just now…wouldn’t find it so I asked the grocery manager…he told me they stopped selling it…so I went to service counter to double-check the add…didn’t see it listed…Jill, where did you see it was B1G1 Free

Interesting comment from cashier at wags.
I stopped at walgreens (dundee) on Monday- I wasn’t planning on stopping at wags this week but I wanted to get some free candy. I bought:
8 Reeses whips (free with coupons)
6 dark Hersey chocolate bars (free with coupons)
1 Orajel (free after Jan rebate)
2 Revlon Silkcolor on sale for 1.99 ea
1 Revlon blush (free after Jan rebate)
I gave the cashier all my coupons and she separated them. As she was scanning them, She mentioned to me ” some ladies have been doing the coupon thing today, they are going to some coupon class and they are trying to get some free stuff and sometimes they just don’t understand” I tried to look sympatheric and I asked “what do you mean , do they argue with you or give you problems” I’m sorry if that’s the case I said to her… another customer asked her something so she didn’t finish telling me about it. She was nice to me and told me to have a great day as I was leaving.
I didn’t have any problems and I think the reason is because I spent $19 (I’m getting it all back on rebates).
I feel that some people will ruin it for the rest of us who are just trying to get a good deal, save money on groceries and have fun in the process.
I have read many posts in other websites from couponers who get 40 or 50 free items of the same stuff. (I haven’t read that in this website/locally)
Jill, Are you really working on a class III? I think it would be good. This couponing stuff is alot of fun and some people take the stock pile to another level –
Thank you for all your help and I’ll be going to Super Couponing #2 later on thursday -Looking forward to it very much :)

hi jill. i’ve been trying to print coupons from smartsource, but cannot get them to print. it keeps telling me to activate the ss printer program??? i’m so frustrated because i’m trying to print the $1 coupons for the wholly salsa. i’m new to this kind of couponing and am signed up to take your class on 2/7 in wauconda!! can’t wait. also, i totally forgot to buy a Trib this past sunday and am really bummed because i’m losing out on all the coupons. is there any way you know of to get a copy still? i called my local walgreens here in cary, but they got rid of them. i even called the Trib store downtown. they’ll sell me a copy for $12!!! that’s because i have to pay for S&H. bummer. to avoid this happening again, i signed up for mail delivery for .50/week w/one of your previous codes. i don’t want to miss out again!
mocars2 says
elvisgirl – how are you getting the free Hershey dark cardy – I must have missed that., thanks
elvisgirl says
mocars2 — there is a coupon for B1G1F on the 1/25 S insert.
Walgreens has a sale with their flyer coupon Hershey chocolates .89c each buy 1 get 1 free.
I get 2 chocolate bars for free with the 1/25 S coupon.
just make sure it’s the chocolate mark for .89c — They have regular Hershey bars and the dark chocolate bars. They are delicious.. specially when they are free! :)

I stopped at the local CVS yesterday and purchased two bottles of the Pantene that gives the $3.00 CVS extra bucks back. The selections were not too great, they must be trying to get rid of these particular ones. However, I did find two that I wanted, purchased both, and used the $3.00 off coupon off 2 products, and then was also able to use the $1.00 coupon that was below the $3.00 one. I wouldn’t have even tried this but the cashier said he likes to try to see if he can get them to ring up again, so he tried it and it worked! So I got $4.00 off and $6.00 in exra care bucks back. Such a deal!!! Just thought I would share!

prea says
At Jewel today, I picked up a Hormel Party Tray, 8 piece chicken dinner, 2 bottles of diet coke – $10.99
Hormel Party Tray on sale $12.99 minus $2.00 q
When you buy a party tray, you get a 8 piece chicken dinner for free. When you buy a 8 piece chicken dinner, you get 2 bottles of Coke product for free.
Not sure how long the “free” part of this sale is going on since I already used my coupon. Today might be the last day on the Hormel tray sale, but I thought it was a good deal.

Now I have been doing some saving shopping, but I am waiting for that ultimate saving package… does anybody know when they are going to do the chest freezer again at Jewel? I want to make sure I am up SUPER early to get one.
Thanks!!
