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 terminology and abbreviations.
A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on some Chicagoland 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 the drugstore/general merchandise store deals run through Saturday.
“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.)
They are now offering discount subscription codes for MULTIPLE newspapers 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
IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: All Jewel locations are in the process of updating their cash registers to a new system. If your store has updated to the new registers, and you are using TWO coupons on a Buy One, Get One Free sale, the register is currently scanning the second coupon as $0.00. The register will not beep and you will have no way of knowing your coupon’s value did not get recognized unless you are watching closely. Jewel is working on a solution to this problem and I have a response from corporate here indicating that their two-coupons-on-a-B1G1F policy has NOT changed. Watch your registers.
Jewel-Osco information:
Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? At times, Jewel sends out coupons to match with their current sales, and often they’re store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!
Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | Load Dominick’s Just For U ecoupons and Deal Match offers
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, 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.
Additional info:
If prints are still available, print this $2 off a $10 Lucerne Purchase printable, print it and use it with some more Lucerne (Safeway house brand) items this week.
Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, St. Charles, and the Indianapolis area:
View weekly ad | Load Meijer Mperks ecoupons | Print store coupons from Meijer Mealbox
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.
Heading over to Kroger… View weekly ad | Load Kroger ecoupons | Load SavingStar ecoupons | Load Cellfire ecoupons | Load ShortCuts ecoupons | Load PGEsaver.com ecoupons
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
Here are your Hilander deals (also running at Logli and Schnucks)… View weekly ad | Load “Schnupons” ecoupons
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. The current ad is good through TUESDAY, June 12th.
Off to Target…

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.

Heading to Walgreens (View weekly ad)…
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
And finally, over at CVS (View weekly ad) | Load SavingStar ecoupons
CVS Tips: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you! You may want to scan your coupon more than once – it’s been printing different coupons on subsequent scans!
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.)

Great adding “My List.” It is very helpful for many. I don’t want to complain, since I am very greatful for all the wonderful things you have done to improve your blog over time. However, is there a different screen we could click on to get rid of the “My List” option? I usually like to paste only parts of your blog into a Word program to print and the “My LIst” keeps popping up even if I am very careful. It takes a long time for my computer to close it each time…very slow due to virus protection.
Thanks again…Kudos to your new look:)
HappyMom88 says
Thank you so much for all your hard work in getting this blog together each week. Our family saves so much by following your blog. Also, on my Domicks Just For U, I have Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats coupon for $1.99 ea. good through Wed. I think there are $1/3 qs in 5/13 RP. I know this isn’t a great price, but I have to have my Mini Wheats every morn. Limit 4 (includes Raisin Bran & Frosted Flakes).
I also received a “Personal Price” of $1.95 for Cheetos or Fritos, 9.75oz bags.
merwin7 says
Just FYI the Belvita coupon listed for Buy 1 Get 1 Free is actually for the little single bars up to $0.88 now. Maybe it was for the boxes before? The other $1 off one is still there.
ldurec says
I think the Lofthouse cookie coupon expired 6/6.
Outlander says
I heard that at CVS it’s printing $10/$30 Gillette deal from the machine for the PG deal.
Also, the pricing is wrong on Del Monte deal at Jewel- you have to buy 5 cans for the Q, so it is $0.85/ can after the cat.
susieqs2 says
I loaded the various cuts of beef onto my card that’s for $2.99/lb. I also have a $5/$20 on my card, and I ended up earning a $5 OYNO cat. It is a store cat that you can you use on anything.
demottelovescoupons says
Check your coupons when youi scan your CVS card. I received a $7 off any physicians formula cosmetics. All Physicians formula eye products were 40% off. Picked up some eye shadow which rang up at $5.69. Free eye shadow + $1.31 overage. Sweet!
wolfmom says
The only coupon that I see for the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (Dominick’s deal)on the link provided is a Publix store coupon. It has no upc on it. Is there another coupon that I’m missing?
vikki1120 says
I do not see the $2 off Venus refill coupon in my P&G
seachicago says
If you need another q, or don’t get All You, check Woman’s Day.
Koupon Kat says
Read on Hip 2 Save that there is a $2 off one coupon on Magnum’s Facebook page. Like them and get the coupon! :)
hwendt12 says
at Wags. I caught a glimpse of the ad and saw Nestle/Skinny Cow candies for $.49 each this week. Isn’t there a q out there to make these free this week??? I know there are many fans of this out there!
UPDATE: I found it-it’s in the 4/29 ss and it’s a BOGO-2 for $.49-woohoooo!!!
fabbyk31 says
On Saturday night I received an email from CVS requesting that I complete an online survey. If I completed the survey and my responses were received, I would get a $10 ECB.
I completed the survey and I was able to get the $10 ECB!!!
Anyone else get this survey?
msam says
The coupon is in the May PG insert.
Dangerouscrayon says
I tried to get the free pantene at the Meijer in Oswego. The catalina didn’t print, and customer service said that since I used a coupon on the pantene that it wouldn’t print. I’m very new to couponing – is this to be expected at Meijer, or other places? Also, the shelf tag indicated that there’s a limit of one offer.
vikki1120 says
I don’t know if any of you have an Ultra Foods close by…My Ultra had Colgate on sale for .88, and the 6/3 SS had a coupon for .75 cents off any Colgate. I got each box for .13! I thought it was a pretty good deal :)
eztupp says
i have the $5/$20 personalized price on my doms card. if i buy $25 ranchers reserve and the $5 comes off will i still get the cat for buying $25 ranchers reserve? or do i need to buy $30?
Dinkers03 says
When they had this deal before I bought the detangler and conditioner and the cat didn’t print. When I went to CS the girl had to call her manager but neither of them knew if it was considered a styling product or not, so they gave me a GC. I’ve always thought of it as a styling product.
Trucaligirl says
I took my Q’s to Jewel today and they wouldn’t accept them. I printed them on 6/11/12 (the Q even stated when it was printed) and the expiration date in the upper right corner said 7/22/2012, but in the fine print of the details it plainly stated that “Coupon expires 5/13/12”! They wouldn’t accept them due to the conflicting expiration dates (which I totally get), I’m just wondering if anyone else had this happen. The Pepsi Q’s have matching expirations in these 2 areas. I’m not familiar with the site from which I printed them from…..
Any thoughts?
couponlucy says
Has anyone rolled the Pantene cat at Meijer?
