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 store, you may find similar sales to our Jewel, Dominick’s, and Hilander deals. Welcome, and enjoy!

AND… my Super-Couponing® class is 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, 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.

Current home-delivery subscription deals on the Chicago Tribune: Code OCNP: .38/week Sunday Delivery. Code X277 or X542: .50/week Sunday Delivery or $1/week W, TH, F, Sun delivery. Call 800-311-8500 or visit www.chicagotribune.com.

“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, you do need to be getting the paper with the “best,” highest-value coupons.)

NEW: School Supply Deals

Each week I’ll blog the best deals on school supplies too. Note that as we get closer to school starting, we’re likely to see even cheaper deals on some of these — in past years, many stores have had 1-cent and 5-cent sales. And, keep in mind that the WORST thing to do is buy your entire child’s list at one store. Going in for 1-cent pencils and paying full price for everything else makes no sense. Keep the list with you and as you’re around town each week, buy only what is cheap. By the time school starts, you’ll have the list nearly completed… on the cheap! More tips here.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

8oz. bottles of Equaline Hand Sanitizer are .50.

Jewel-Osco information:

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? Jewel regularly sends out coupons to match with their current sales, and often they’re store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!

Jewel meat deals:

• Fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb.
• Peaches, nectarines and plums are $1.99/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• Sweet potatoes are .88/lb.
• Sweet onions are $1/lb.
• 1lb. bags of baby-cut carrots are $1
• 2lb. containers of fresh strawberries are $3.99 – that’s about $2/lb.
• Cucumbers are .67 each
• Grapefruit are $1 each
• Mangos are $1 each
• Whole seedless watermelons are $3.99

(Anytime meat is under $2 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry) it’s a buy in my book, because $2 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices. This is also true for most produce. Seafood, by its nature, is more expensive per pound, but a good “buy” benchmark is $4 per pound or less.)

FREE 20 oz. Vitamin Water when you buy 2 Kellogg’s Nutrigrain bar packages – “Happy New School Year” coupon book

$1.50 off store brand meat when you buy two packages of GRIPZ products

FRUIT OF THE LOOM: I saw many packages of socks with .50 peelies on them, which will drop your prices even more.



Here’s a funny sale. Meijer says “We’re so confident in our our own brand that if you Buy One National Brand Item, we’ll give you the Meijer Brand item for FREE!” All prices were gathered at the Algonquin Meijer location. Here are your prices and items:

– Buy one Mott’s Apple Juice, Mott’s for Tots or Mott’s Plus (64oz, $2.59) get one Meijer Apple Juice FREE

– Buy one 12-pack Coke ($3.34) and get 2-liter Meijer soda FREE

– Buy one Frito Sun Chips or Baked Lays (9-10.5oz., $3.99 each) get Meijer Whole Grain Delights or Baked Potato Crisps (9oz.) FREE

– Buy one Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese (8oz., $2.49) and get one Meijer Cream Cheese (8oz.) FREE

I really like the apple juice deal here! It’s been a while since we saw a good apple juice deal. You’re getting two bottles for $2.59, or about $1.30 each. You can also buy multiples in the same transaction — buying 6 Motts will give you 6 Meijer juices free, and so on.



Meijer’s running their 10 for $10, get the 11th FREE sale again. (Every time they run these, they seem to be made up of more and more Meijer store-brand items again.)

Best bets:

Meijer canned fruit (15oz.) is $1.

Meijer sugar cones (12ct.) are $1

15ct. Meijer pizza rolls (7.5oz.) are $1

16oz. Meijer frozen pizza dough are $1

26oz. Meijer pasta sauce are $1



“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

29-38.95 Meijer Rising Crust Pizzas are $3.99.

26-32oz. Meijer chicken nuggets or strips are $3.89.

12 double-roll packages of Quilted Northern Bath Tissue are $5.99. Even with no coupons, this works out to about .49 per roll. (.50 per double roll or less is a good price.)



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:

• Cook’s shank or butt portion ham is $1.49/lb.

Meijer seafood deals:

• 16oz. packages of Meijer Tilapia Fillets are $3.99.

Meijer produce deals:

• Cabbage is .39/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 typically haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers.

CVS has been running a “Spend $30, Get $10” sale on a variety of products… and this deal hasn’t really grabbed me over the past few weeks. But this week, if you’re a Tide or Gain fan, this would be a good week to buy it. 48-64-load bottles of Tide and Gain are $11.97 each. Buy three and get a $10 gasoline gift card.

The 7/3 PG has a .50 coupon, and the 6/5 PG has a .35 coupon for Tide. The 7/10 RP has a .50 coupon for Gain.

With three .50 coupons, buy 3 bottles. Pay $34.41 and get a $10 gas card. Essentially, that’s $24.41 for 3 bottles, or about $8.14 each.

Want to do the deal a different way? Buy 2 detergents and 2 boxes of Fiber One cereal ($2.50 each) which are also in the deal. You’ll find .75 Fiber One coupons in the 6/12 SS, or a printable. Two detergents and three Fiber One will put you at $31.44. After two .50 detergent coupons and three .75 cereal coupons, pay $28.19 and get a $10 gas card. Essentially, that’s $18.19 for everything, so you can look at it as about $9.10 per bottle, plus three “free” boxes of cereal.

I prefer to pay less than this for detergent, but I know some people are very brand-loyal to Tide, and this isn’t a terrible price if you like it.



Zantac 150 or 75 (24-30ct.) are on sale for $8.99. Buy one and get $3 back in ECBs. Use this $5 printable. You’ll pay $3.99 and get $3 back, making this just .99!

Wrapping things up with Walmart…

Coupon books to look for at Walmart: “Bright Ideas, Delicious Cereals“ (Kellogg’s cereal and breakfast coupons)



---

Policies to know:

• Walmart will price match any competitor’s advertised price. Bring the other store’s flyers with you to the store.
   
• 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.



Will I blog Walmart in its entirety each week?

I will not be blogging entire writeups for Walmart each week. 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.

However, if there IS an ad with noteworthy sales or I’m aware of great coupon matchups, you’ll find those here too.

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.)
