Deals of the Week for July 5, 2010

Hello, Super-Couponers! I hope everyone had a great Independence Day! Ours involved two slabs of ribs (from that last Target deal in which they were around $1.49/lb) slow-cooked all day to fall-off-the-bone perfection, slathered in bargain-priced barbecue sauce, then finished on the grill over some inexpensive Kingsford charcoal, along with chicken drumsticks from a past Jewel sale (bought with that great chicken coupon, of course,) ears of sweet corn, baked potatoes (wrapped in some free Reynolds Wrap and nestled in the coals) served on paper plates from another recent deal… and of course, everything was washed down with some fabulous, natural-sugar Cokes! Hope yours was great as well!

This week’s newspaper contained one insert: P&G. (Where are the rest? We never have coupons on weeks containing a holiday [here’s why] but since Procter & Gamble typically comes out the first week of the month, we got it.)

Ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy FREE toothbrushes, cheap (.37-.49) salad dressings, cheap Worcestershire sauces, FREE air freshener spray, cheap mixed nuts, great ice cream deals, cheap and FREE barbecue sauces, cheap salsa, a decent diaper deal, FREE and cheap batteries, cheap razors, FREE contact lens solution, and cheap Sobe beverages (again!) And, oh yes, KMART DOUBLE COUPONS return too! Let’s get started!

(Print: , Email:, or, jump directly to comments on this week’s deals…)

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 direct-mailed coupon books that I refer to for some deals. 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.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel…

Oral B indicator toothbrushes are on sale for $1 each. Use the $2-off-2 coupon from 7/4 PG and two are FREE!

Kraft salad dressings are $1.49. Use the $1 coupon from 6/20 SS and pay .49!

Here’s a little deal on Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce! It’s on sale for $2.99 and it also has an instant-savings deal attached to it too. Buy 4 and save an additional $2 instantly! So, if you buy 4, you’re looking at $2.49 a bottle. Now add coupons… the 6/27 SS has $2 off the thick variety of sauce, and 5/23 SS has $1 off (additional $1 printables here and here.) With both, you’ll pay $6.96 for four, or $1.74 each – a good price on enough bottles to last you well through grilling season.

If you’re a multiple inserts person, with two $2 and two $1 coupons, pay $3.96 for 4, under $1 each.

With four $2 coupons, pay .49 a bottle.

Now, here’s where the deal gets even more fun! Some bottles have “Try Me Free” rebates on them (one per household, so please don’t take more bottles with rebates than you need, as this is going to be a hot deal for everyone.) With another $2.99 back in rebate… do the math! :)

Air Wick Aqua Mist Air Freshener spray is on sale for $2.50. Use the $2.50 coupon from 6/20 SS and it’s FREE!

(Note that some editions of the Tribune received a $2 or $1 coupon instead — this is similar to the Electrasol/Finish Quantum $5 coupon we saw about a month ago. It’s a random insertion, so if you didn’t get the $2.50, you might want to pass unless you need this.) Sale runs through July 25th.

Grande Tortilla Chips are on sale for $1.99. Use the $1 coupons from 6/27 SS and 4/18 SS to take these home for .99 a bag…

Fisher Fusions bagged mixed nuts are on sale for $1.29. Use any of many $1 coupons to take these home for .29: 6/20 SS, 2/28 SS, 2/7 SS, printable

Selected Malt O Meal cereals are $1.50. Use any of these .75 printables (there are 3 different, so you can print 6) and pay half that. Certainly, we’ve seen cereal MUCH cheaper, but if you need it…

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT USING THE $2.50 FINISH COUPON ON THE $2.99 FINISH ON SALE AT JEWEL: This coupon is for a size LARGER than what is currently on sale. Please read this explanation at the bottom of this page — the sizes specified on the coupon are NOT the sizes on sale for $2.99.

“No Coupons Needed” Deals

Jewel frozen bagels (6 ct.) are $1 (and will go nicely with the .49 cheese spreads from last week!)

Jewel hot dog or hamburger buns are .88/package…

“Spend $12, Save $4” Catalina Sale on ice cream novelties! Here are your products and matchups: Edy’s Fruit or Smoothie Bars – $3 Edy’s Dibs – $3 Edy’s Ice Cream 1.5qt. – $2.50 – $2-off-2 Edy’s Slow Churned – Nestle calendar direct-mailed in January – $1 off 2 – 5/23 SOME editions of Parade Magazine Edy’s Slow Churned Ice Cream Cups 4-6oz. – $1 – Buying these is generating $1-off-3 and B1G1F Catalinas for more Edy’s cups for many people Edy’s Snack Size Fruit Bar Minis, 140ct. Dibs, 10ct. Lil’ Drumsticks, or 6ct. Haagen-Dazs Bars – $3.99 – 140ct. Dibs have a double-dip Catalina deal. Buy 3 of them and get a bonus $1 Catalina. Eskimo Pie Bars 6-12ct. – $3 Frosty Paws 4ct. treats for dogs – $4.99 Haagen-Dazs ice cream cups 4-6oz. – $1 Haagen-Dazs ice cream 14oz. cups – $3 Haagen-Dazs 3ct. ice cream bars – $3 Nestle Drumsticks – $3 Nestle Push-Ups, 9ct. – $3 Skinny Cow Ice Cream 5.8oz cups – $1.25 – .50 off cup – printable Skinny Cow Ice Cream cones or bars – $3.99 – $1 off any Skinny Cow – printable

While there are not a lot of coupons out for these, my Black Belt couponers will likely already have made many runs for 2 Edy’s 1.5qts, taken them home, squeezed some more open freezer space, and then run back to do more rounds of 2 cartons, 2 cartons… just remember that this deal does not stack up.

Break your Black Belt Edy’s transactions into two 1.5qt. cartons of Edy’s. Pay $5 and get a $4 Catalina. Repeat until freezer is full. But remember, again, break them into separate transactions of two Edy’s 1.5qts. each, and you will ultimately pay $1 for TWO cartons, or .50 each.

UPDATE FOR INDIANA JEWEL SHOPPERS: Reader “E” writes from Indiana:

“FYI – the Edy’s doesn’t work in Indiana this way, as our price point is lower in ALL the Indiana stores (yep burned my gas checking them all.) The ice cream is 4.95 original. So you have to buy three or two and three little cups if you have the buy two, get one free coupon. Either way you end up 7.00-7.50 out-of-pocket and while it’s not a bad price it’s not spectacular.”

I don’t typically post liquor deals in my grocery writeups (I don’t drink! Sorry guys :) but many of my readers have found a super-cheap one on Smirnoff Vodka (read about it in the Forum.) It’ll have you taking Smirnoff home for under $1 a bottle – yes, for the LARGE bottles (at Jewel or at Dominick’s – readers have many scenarios posted.) It’s rare we see alcohol this crazy-cheap.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Smuckers ice cream toppings are on sale for $1.50 each. If you picked up the Smuckers coupon books called “Cover Up! Your Vanilla is Showing,” you’ll have coupons for $1.25 off 2 and Buy 3, get the 4th free. Buy 2 with the first coupon and pay $1.75 for 2, .88 for each… or buy 4, use both coupons, and pay $3.25 for 4, or .81 each. (5/16 RP also has a $1-off-2 coupon.)

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list yet? If not, you’re missing out on some GREAT coupons! Jewel has been emailing coupons out for everything from meats to party trays over the past few weeks. I have really been impressed with the nice coupons Jewel has been sending to their email subscribers lately & would highly recommend getting on their list if you shop there.

Jewel’s house brand of diapers, Baby Basics, are a good buy with coupons! Jumbo packs are $7.99-$16.99 each at most stores depending on size of box/package. Use these $4 printables here (print 2!) and cut that price nicely!

Coupon booklets currently found at Jewel

Score More Savings – (soccer ball on cover) – has $28 worth of manufacturer and store coupons inside, including a FREE cookie at the deli counter, $2-off-2 Kellogg’s, B1G1F 5lb. bags of Riceland rice, and many other goodies. Full list here. Expiring 7/31/10, with the exception of the Riceland coupon, which expires 12/31/2011..!

Sizzling Savings: Save More All Summer (child eating burger on cover) – manufacturer coupons for summer-themed products, like Popsicle, Klondike Bars, Banana Boat sunscreen, Pam grilling spray, and more. Full list here. Expiring 7/31/10.

Jewel meat deals:

• Fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb.
• Fresh whole cut-up fryers are $1.69/lb.

(Anytime meat is under $1.99 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry, or seafood) it’s a buy in my book, because $1.99 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices.)

Jewel produce deals:

• Fresh sweet corn is .19 an ear – THROUGH MONDAY, 7/5 ONLY
• Sweet cherries are $1.99/lb – THROUGH MONDAY, 7/5 ONLY
• Tomatoes on the vine are $1.99/lb

Let’s go to Dominick’s…

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.

Need some bargain barbecue sauce? Jack Daniels barbecue sauce is on sale for .99 a bottle. Use this .75 coupon and take it home for .24!

KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce is also .99 a bottle. With the $1 manufacturer coupon from the current weekly Jewel flyer, it’s FREE!

Paper and cleaning deals: Dominick’s is running a “Spend $15, get $5” Catalina deal on Brawny, Glad, Dixie, Clorox, Windex, and Hidden Valley Ranch through 7/13. With all of the deals on these lately, I didn’t blog this one extensively, but you can use the Coupon Lookup (www.coupontom.com) to do your own matchups if you’d like.

Dom’s also has another deal running called “Clean Up and Save Big” – 3 “big” cleaning items are $4.99 each when purchased in quantities of 3, mix or match. If you buy 3 Brawny, you’d be at $14.97. Find the cheapest
filler” you can to get over $15 — the Glad bags are probably a good bet, or some Dixie plates/cups, or Clorox (remember to bring coupons for these too! Then add Brawny coupons… 6/27 RP and 3/14 RP (exp) have .50 off Brawny, and 1/24 RP (exp) has $1 off. With all 3 coupons, pay $12.97 and get $5 back – $7.97 for 3 Brawny 8-packs is $2.66 each!

With three $1 coupons, pay $11.97 for the Brawny and get $5 back.

“No Coupons Needed” Deal

Dominick’s hot dog or hamburger buns are .99 a package…

I don’t typically post liquor deals in my grocery writeups (I don’t drink! Sorry guys :) but many of my readers have found a super-cheap one on Smirnoff Vodka (read about it in the Forum.) It’ll have you taking Smirnoff home for under $1 a bottle – yes, for the LARGE bottles (at Dominick’s or at Jewel – readers have many scenarios posted.) It’s rare we see alcohol this crazy-cheap…

As usual, there are some Dominick’s Super Coupons* in this week’s ads too. Best bets?

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Many Dominick’s stores are clearancing out Prince pasta products as they’re no longer going to carry this brand. I spotted a cartload of it at the back of the Crystal Lake Doms marked at .89 a box with 50% off — that’s just .45 if you need pasta…

Coupon booklets currently found at Dominick’s

Get Out and Grill / Simple Summer Seafood – Lots of great store coupons for grilling, condiments and other products that you can stack with. Full list here. All expire 9/7/10.

O Organics – brochure card with “$1 off any O Organics Item” coupons in the store, expiring 12/31/10! These are GREAT coupons for products like organic milk and produce. Watch them though, as when they scan, they usually only take off $0.01 instead of $1.00… hope they get this fixed soon.

July Coupon Booklet – small yellow square book released monthly.

Add Dairy to your Summer Adventure – $26 worth of manufacturer AND store coupons for many dairy products, expiring 7/14-7/24/10

*A note on Dominick’s Super Coupons:

What does “minimum $10 (or $20) purchase required” mean? To use store coupons that include a minimum purchase requirement, you must spend a minimum dollar amount on that shopping trip. You will reach the minimum purchase amount based upon total purchases after your Club Card discount is applied. For example, the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (after Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon.

Note that Meijers in other states are on different schedules. The Illinois Meijers are about a week behind on the sales vs. 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 Meijer location, they haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers, under the convoluted reasoning that because the store is newer, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

Off to Target…

Here’s a decent diaper deal on Luvs Diapers. We’ve seen better deals over the past month, but if you really need diapers, this isn’t bad. To really rock this deal though, you’ll need to have gotten two copies of the paper (or trade for these coupons with a friend…

The deal is this. Large boxes of Luvs are on sale for $16.99. When you buy two boxes, you’ll get a $5 Target Gift Card. So, buy two ($33.98) and use two each of the following coupons:

$1 off – 6/27 Target – Target STORE coupons (if you’re on Target’s baby mailing list, you may have one from a recent mailer too)
$2 off – 6/27 RP – Manufacturer coupon

After two $1 Target coupons and two $2 Manufacturer coupons, pay $27.98 and get $5 back — end total, $22.98 for TWO big boxes, or $11.49 each.

“No Coupons Needed” Deals

64oz. bottles of Market Pantry 100% Apple Juice are $1.50 – my buy point for bottled juices.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

The Big Swiffer Deal

(This deal’s legendary! If you hold your coupons and play them right, it’s always cheaper to buy a Swiffer and a refill than buying the Swiffer or the refill alone. I’ve done this deal numerous times over the past few years in one form or another…)

You’ll need the Target store coupon for $3 off the Swiffer Starter Kit from the 6/27 Target insert (some editions of the Tribune did not receive this insert) and the “Buy a Swiffer Sweeper starter kit, get a FREE refill coupon from the Home Made Simple: Decor Done Right coupon book.

Buy a Swiffer Sweeper starter kit ($8.99 at most stores.) Your $3 coupon knocks this down to $5.99. Now, get the LARGEST Swiffer refill you can find, as the coupon does not specify a size or quantity for your refill. (I like the 36-count Swiffer wet floor wipes, which usually sells for $14! It comes in a large cardboard “case” as opposed to the plastic tubs, and I’ve only seen this size at Target.) Pay $5.99 for the Swiffer AND the wipes — that’s cheaper than buying the wipes alone.

Back (again!) is the Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean sprayer deal. This time, the spray cleaner is on sale for $8.74. Use the $5 manufacturer coupon from 6/13 SS and stack it with this $3 Target store coupon. $8 in coupon value on a $8.74 sprayer = .74 Scrubbing Bubbles!

Ray-O-Vac batteries are $1 in Target’s Dollar Spot. $1 printable. ‘Nuff said.

Some editions of the 5/16 RP contained a Target store coupon for $1 off any Bounty paper towels. Single rolls of Bounty Basic sell for .99 at most Targets! Get a roll free (through 7/31!)

Target has launched mobile Target coupons which you can load to your phone. They are Target store coupons that you can stack manufacturer coupons with. Load coupons here. You can also print these offers by going to www.target.com/save and entering your phone number.

Remember too that you get .05 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use!

Over at Kmart, the big big news of the week is that their SUPER DOUBLES double coupon promotion is back! Running 7/4 through 7/10 at these stores, here’s the scoop:

• You must have a Kmart Rewards card to participate. If you don’t have one, you can sign up online or fill out a form in the store.
• Five coupons will be doubled per customer/card, per day.
• Coupons with a face value of up to and including $2 will be doubled. (.75 doubles to $1.50, $1 doubles to $2, $1.50 doubles to $3, $2 doubles to $4.) You do NOT get coupon overage with doubling as the store is matching the coupon’s value up TO the purchase price, but not over. Coupons with a face value of $2.50 or $3 or more ring at FACE VALUE ONLY.

It’s never super-easy to write matchups for these as Kmart store prices vary a little by EVERY location. Several popular coupon blogs have done some great matchup lists, including Southern Savers, My Frugal Adventures, and Common Sense With Money.

Note too that during Double Coupon promotions, Kmart actually REMOVES points from your Kmart Rewards card (yes, they punish you for doubling. Crazy.) Some of my readers have found a way around this by using one Rewards card to accumulate points and using a spouse’s card solely during double coupon promos — and yes, they actually will rack up a negative points value on the card. Crazy but true.

There’s also a “Spend $35, get $10” Catalina deal running at Kmart on P&G products (view ad page with products here.) Kmart’s Catalina deals have been so hit and miss lately (sometimes they’re on pre-coupon value, sometimes they’re not) that I’m not blogging this one extensively, BUT, if you double your P&G coupons, you could do well here. Reader Mluks posted a nice scenario in this discussion.

I also added an asterisk (*) next to any P&G products in the above list. Please feel free to post any great scenarios you come up with too! Krazy Coupon Lady has some scenarios posted too, as well as a master list of Kmart matchups.

Sobe beverages are on sale Buy One, Get One Free, limit 6, and if you’ve been following the blog at all, you know what fun we had a few weeks ago when they were super cheap after coupons at Target! Well, if you play the Heads or Tails online game and you can win B1G1F coupons for Sobe! If you win the coupon, remember to click the Back button in the browser to print more until you reach the print limit. Readers have reported being able to print 2, 4, and even 20 of this great coupon before it hits its limit! For each coupon printed, you’ll buy 2 bottles.

The bottles are on sale for $1.99, but the B1G1F coupon has a value of “up to $1.89” – so after coupon, you’ll pay .10 for every TWO bottles, or .05 each!

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

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.)
