Hello, Super-Couponers! I can’t believe we’re already a third of the way through this summer “vacation” (from my kids’ perspective, anyway!) The 4th of July is rapidly approaching, and this week’s there are a lot of great deals to be had on meats for grilling and other cookout-planning supplies.
This week’s newspaper contained two inserts: SmartSource and RedPlum.
But there are also a lot of OTHER coupons in the Tribune you’ll want to keep too! Some editions of the Trib received an “Amazing Brands, Amazing Savings” insert with $28 worth of Target store coupons in it — pull that out and keep it! There’s also a Target store coupon for Vaseline on page 9 of the Tribune (the newspaper part) AND the Parade Magazine has a bunch of manufacturer coupons in it too, including B1G1F Pantene, $5 off Align and Prilosec, $3 off Metamucil. (With coupons like these, I usually pull them out and date them with “6/27” and keep them with my regular coupon inserts for future deals.)
Ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy cheap Chips Ahoy, bargain Smuckers ice cream toppings, cheap Hellman’s mayonnaise, cheap Betty Crocker fruit snacks, $1 General Mills and Kellogg’s cereal (some of which includes FREE milk in the deal too,) cheap or FREE Stayfree, .49 Dole juices, cheap Ball Park franks, FREE Tide Stain Release, .49 cream cheese, cheap Popsicles and ice cream, .49 Ragu, a great deal for Coca-Cola and 2 FREE tickets to Brookfield Zoo, FREE Ortega Mexican foods, FREE Reach toothbrushes and floss, FREE Charmin, the classic cheap Swiffer & Swiffer Refill deal (again!), cheap Scrubbing Bubbles (again,) FREE Blistex lip care, FREE Dentyne gum, .50 Xtra laundry detergent, FREE M&Ms, cheap Windex and Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Bowl cleaner and FREE PowerBars! 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!

Grocery Deals
Oh, let’s start off with a fun one! Chips Ahoy cookies are on sale for $1.99. Use the $1 off Chips Ahoy with Reeses or Heath from July All You and pay .99!
Smuckers ice cream toppings are on sale for $1.50 each. Near the ice cream, look for coupon books called “Cover Up! Your Vanilla is Showing.” Inside, find 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.)
New York Style Bagel Chips are $1.50 a bag. Use this .75 coupon and pay .75!
Hellman’s Mayonnaise is on sale for $1.99, limit 2. Use the .75 coupon from 6/27 RP and/or this .75 printable and pay $1.24!
Here’s a great deal on Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks! They’re on sale for $1.50 each when you buy 4 (MUST buy in multiples of 4.) And, you’re going to want to buy 4, because the fruit snacks are also part of a national Catalina deal:
Purchase three Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups, or Fruit Stickerz, Receive a $1.50 Catalina
Purchase four, Receive a $2.50 Catalina
Purchase five or more, Receive a $3.50 Catalina
Note that this Catalina does NOT include the fruit shapes (such as Scooby Doo, Spider-Man, Wonder Pets, etc.) so stick to ONLY what’s on the list to get that Catalina! And, because this is a buy-4 deal, don’t buy 5, as it will be full price at $2.50 for that 5th box – not a deal.
Now, with the Catalina, you’re looking at $3.50 for 4 boxes. Let’s add coupons: .50-off 2 printable, another .50-off-2 printable.
With two printables, pay $5 for 4 boxes and get a $2.50 Catalina back — $2.50 for 5 is .63 a box…
Selected General Mills cereals are also part of the “$1.50 each when you buy 4” sale. There are $1-off-2 coupons in the 5/30 GM insert, 6/6 SS has $1-off-2 Cheerios, and printables for $1-off-2 here and here. And if you need more $1-off-2 coupons, print them here and here and .
Any of these will knock the cereal to $1 a box – not fabulous, but in the absence of better deals, not awful.
Prefer Kellogg’s? Kellogg’s Bite Size Mini Wheats are on sale for $1.50 a box when you purchase in multiples of THREE. 5/23 RP has a $1.50-off-3 coupon that will also knock these down to $1 a box, post-coupon. 6/27 RP has a $1.25-off-3 coupon that’s not bad either. And, the “Score More Savings” coupon book found at Jewel has a $1-off-2 coupon inside as well (note that with this, you’d need to buy in quantities of 6 to use three $1-off-2 coupons, again resulting in cereal that’s $1 per box.)
Though, if you want Kellogg’s cereals, the deal’s even a little better at Dominick’s this week… but we’ll get to that in a bit.
Want some Solo patriotic plates, cups, or napkins for your 4th of July cookout? All are on sale for $1.50. Use the $1 coupon from 6/20 SS and pay .50! If you want more, there are also .75 printables here.
Act II popcorn is cheap (that is, if you didn’t load up on FREE microwave popcorn during the last great Catalina sales!) It’s $1 a box (and also part of the “Buy 10, get the 11th free” promo in the ad too.) Use this $1-off-2 printable, buy 2 and pay $1 for both, or .50 each! There’s also a .40 coupon in the 6/20 SS.
We all like getting toothbrushes free, but if you need one now, this isn’t a bad price. Oral B toothbrushes are on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 6/27 RP and pay .50…
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
Stayfree maxi pads (24ct.) are on sale for $2. Use the $2 coupon from 3/28 RP and take them home FREE! UPDATED with new coupons for this week… use the B1G1F coupon from 6/27 RP on one pack and the $1 coupon from 4/25 SS and get two more for .99.
OR… get them totally free at CVS… read on…
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.

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.
First off, if you haven’t entered my FREE contest to win a $100 Dominick’s gift card, why not? All you need to do is respond to this blog post. This contest is sponsored by Cellfire.com, and I think $100 would brighten ANYONE’s summer grocery budget!

(Note that there is also a .75 off Jumbo Beef Franks coupon in the same insert, but Jumbo Beef is not part of this sale. Go with the .75/2 coupon.

Head over to www.pgesaver.com and load the $3 ecoupon from www.pgesaver.com for the Stain Release. Use the $3 (exp.) coupon from 5/2 PG, and you have $6 in coupon value on that $5.99 Stain Release!

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…
“Buy 4, Save $4” instant-savings ice cream sale

*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.
Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals of the week for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, and St. Charles:
My blog readers may remember a great “Staycation deal” for free passes to the Shedd Aquarium with the purchase of $15 worth of Coca-Cola and Meijer brand potato chips. If you missed that deal, it’s back! This time, the deal is for TWO FREE passes to the Brookfield Zoo. Again, purchase $15 worth of Coca-Cola products and Meijer potato chips, in any combination, and receive 2 Brookfield Zoo passes.
12-packs of Coca-Cola are currently on sale 3-for-$10, or $3.33 each. Buy 4 ($13.33) and a bag of Meijer chips ($1.99) – for $15.32, you’ve got pop and chips for the 4th of July, AND two tickets to the zoo. Zoo admission is $13.50, so this is a $27 value! It’s also limit one per TRANSACTION, so if you’re going for multiple passes here, split them up into separate trips through the lane.
Here’s a nice FREEBIE! Sweet Baby Ray’s marinades are on sale for $1. Use the $1 coupon from 5/23 SS and it’s yours… FREE!
Here’s another! Ortega foods are all 25% off this week. Ortega canned black beans are on sale for .67/can. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from May All You and a printable. Buy 2, and stack those coupons with the $1-off-4 store coupon from Meijer Mealbox. Your manufacturer coupons knock these to .17 a can… and the Mealbox coupon makes them FREE with a little overage! Nice deal!
You can do the same deal on Ortega taco mixes as well. The 4/18 SS insert also has a .75-off-2 coupon if you want to stock up more…
Thomas’ English Muffins are on sale for $2.99, B1G1F. Use the .50 coupon from Meijer Mealbox and pay $2.49 for 2, or $1.25 each! (Meijer store coupons typically do not scan on the “free” item — they do say “one per item” but also that they can’t be combined with an additional store promo.) But if yours does, you’re looking at $1.99 for 2, or about $1 each.
If you found the “Cover Up! Your Vanilla Is Showing” ice cream topping coupon books at Jewel, they’re an even better buy at Meijer this week. Smucker’s Ice Cream Toppings are on sale for $1.67 each, but Meijer Mealbox has a .50 store coupon for Smuckers! With the store coupon, you’re at $1.17 each. Now, buy 2, use that nice $1.25-off-2 coupon from the book, and pay $1.09 for 2, or about .55 a jar. Add two more jars, two more Mealbox coupons, and the “Buy 3, get 1 Free” from the book, and you’ll pay $2.26 for four, which again works out to about .55 each.
If you don’t have the ice cream coupon book, there’s a $1-off-2 in the 5/16 RP to work in with this too. With that coupon and two Mealbox .50 coupons, pay $1.34 for 2, or .67 each.
Rice Krispie Treats are on sale for $1.99 each. Let’s bring that price down! Buy 3, use two $1 printable manufacturer coupons and stack them with this $1 off 3 Meijer store coupon. This knocks the price down to .99 a box.
If you missed the Purina Busy Bone dog treat deal last week at Jewel, it’s running at Meijer this week! Purina Busy Bones Purina Busy Bone dog treats are on sale for $2.50. Buy two, use the $1 coupon from 5/2 SS and use the Buy One, Get One Free coupon from 3/28 SS1. You’ll pay $1.50 for 2 packages, or .75 each!
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
Aunt Millie’s bread, hot dog or hamburger buns are on sale for $1. Use a .55 off coupon for Aunt Millie’s from the 6/13 RP or 5/16 RP to cut this by more than half!
Meijer meat deals:
- Fresh Grade A bone-in chicken breasts are .99/lb.
- Center cut half boneless pork loin is $1.99/lb.
Meijer produce deals:
- Florida bi-color sweet corn is .17 an ear – cheapest I’ve seen it all season so far…
- Georgia Vidalia sweet onions are .88/lb.
- Red or green seedless grapes are .97/lb.
- California white flesh peaches, nectarines or apricots are .99/lb (organic varieties are $1.29/lb.)
- 5.6-6oz. containers of raspberries or blackberries are $1
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.
For my Rockford-area shoppers (and Kroger shoppers too!) here are your Hilander sales for the current week…
First off, if you haven’t entered my FREE contest to win a $100 Hilander/Kroger gift card, why not? All you need to do is respond to this blog post. This contest is sponsored by Cellfire.com, and I think $100 would brighten ANYONE’s summer grocery budget!
Oral-B Indicator toothbrushes are on sale for $1. Use the .75-off-2 coupon from 6/27 PG and stack it with the .75 ecoupon from Hilander’s Softcoin. You’ll pay .50 for 2, or .25 each!
Colgate toothpaste is cheap this week too! It’s on sale for $1. With the .75 coupon from 6/27 RP, it’s a quarter!
Kroger butter is $1.99 for a 1lb. box…
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
Ivory body wash. It’s on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 6/6 PG, which doubles to $1, and it’s FREE!
Listerine Pocket Packs. Also on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupons from 5/16 RP, 4/11 RP, 3/7 RP, 1/3 RP, or 10/18/09 RP (yes, incredibly, they’re all current!) which will double to $1, and these are FREE too!
Reach Dental Floss. Also $1. Use the .50 coupon from 4/11 RP, which doubles to $1, and it’s FREE! And, there’s also a plethora of $1 coupons available for this, which will net you many more free… 5/16 RP, 3/7 RP, 1/3 RP, 10/18/09 RP, or 10/4/09 RP.
Reach Total Care Toothbrushes. They’re also $1. Use the $1 coupons from 3/7 RP and/or 10/18/09 RP and they’re FREE! You can also print a $2-off-2 coupon, buy 2, and get two MORE free. (And remember, print it twice, and get two more!)
Here’s a deal on Gillette body wash. It’s on sale for $4.29 B1G1F. Use the $4-off-2 coupon from 5/2 PG and pay .29 for two, or about .15 each…
Dial bar or pump soaps are a steal too this week. They’re on sale for $1 (like half the store is, it seems.) Use the .35 coupon from 6/13 RP, which doubles to .70, and you’ll take Dial home for .30.
Hilander meat deals:
- Pork spare ribs are $1.59/lb.
- Whole boneless pork loin is $1.79/lb.
Hilander produce deals:
- Indiana sweet corn is .20 an ear – nice price for early-season, locally grown!
- Tomatoes on the vine are $1.48/lb.
Remember too that Hilander doubles coupons up to .55 face value every day! You are only allowed to double two of the SAME coupon per day though — additional coupons will ring at face value. (Split your trips if you’re stocking up!)
Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.
Many editions of the Tribune received a great Target insert in Sunday’s paper with $28 worth of Target store coupons in it. Here are a couple good deals you can do with these coupons, as well as some others from direct-mailed coupon books I’ve featured on the blog over the past few months…
The Little Charmin Deal
You’ll need the Target store coupon for FREE Charmin Freshmates wipes tub with purchase of Charmin toilet paper from the 6/27 Target insert…
The Target store coupon for $1 off any Charmin toilet paper from 5/16 RP …
and the $1 off Charmin coupon from the P&G Year of Savings coupon book.
4-packs of Charmin Basic toilet paper are $1.99 at many Target stores. With these three coupons, get the 4-pack of toilet paper PLUS the tub of Freshmates… all FREE!
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…
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.
If you didn’t get the Target insert this weekend, there’s a $2 Target coupon for the Swiffer starter kit in 5/16 SS, but it expires TODAY!
And, if you want a second Swiffer refill, many people are buying one to use on this rebate deal too – buy $20 worth of refills and get $10 back.
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
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!
Some readers are also reporting that the Extend-A-Clean is still on sale for $6.99, as it was last week! If so, it will be FREE with overage — just make sure to hand the cashier the store coupon LAST so the overage is applied correctly… and have another item on the belt worth at least $1.01 to “eat up” that overage. :)
Ray-O-Vac batteries are $1 in Target’s Dollar Spot. $1 printable. ‘Nuff said.
Ready for some travel-sized freebies? Any time a coupon says it’s good on ANY size of a product, use it on the travel size. With many travel sizes under $1, a $1 coupon makes them FREE! (Yes, it is Target’s policy to accept these and adjust down to .97 or whatever the exact price is.) So, buy travel sizes of the following…
Axe deodorant – .97. Use printable.
Dove hair spray – .97. Use printable.
Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion – .97. Use $1 printable.
Shout stain wipes – .97. Use printable
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.
SuperTarget meat deals:
- Hormel Always-Tender St. Louis Style Ribs are $1.49/lb.
- 2.5lb. bags of Market Pantry frozen boneless, skinless chicken breass are $5 – that’s $2/lb.
SuperTarget produce deals:
- Sweet corn is 6 ears for $1 — that’s .17 an ear
Remember too that you get .5 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use!
Drugstore Deals
Oh Walgreens, you just keep giving free things away, week after week! (And we love it!) This week is no exception. The following items are all FREE after Register Rewards (meaning, you pay and get your money right back in the form of a Catalina coupon for your next Walgreens trip. Remember that you cannot “roll” your RRs on the same products or product families, or the register won’t generate another RR.
3-packs of Blistex Fruit Smoothies Lip Care are $2.99 with $2.99 back in RRS – FREE!
Flexitol Blistop is a foot blister preventer. It’s $5 with $5 back in RRS – also FREE!
And, in keeping with the “feet” theme, Airplus Ultra Moisturizing Socks For Her (Hey, I don’t make this stuff up — they’re aloe-infused socks for tired feet) are $3 with $3 back in RRs. Also FREE! (THIS one has not been printing RRs as of Sunday, 6/27 – hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.)
Want more free stuff? (Of COURSE you do — that’s why you’re here!)
Reach Floss and Reach Crystal Clean toothbrushes are free AGAIN. We just saw this deal a few weeks ago, and, as with so many deals, it keeps coming around again, and again, and again!
The deal is this. Reach floss or Crystal Clean toothbrushes are .99 each, limit 3, with the store coupon in the Walgreens ad. Stack this with any of these $1 coupons: 5/16 RP, 3/7 RP, 1/3 RP, 10/18/09 RP, and/or 10/4/09 RP (yes, they’re all current, though a couple expire soon!) Your brushes and flosses are FREE!
And ANOTHER freebie! Dentyne gum is on sale 3-for-$1.98. Buy 3. Use the $1 coupon from 6/13 SS, and stack it with the .99 Walgreens coupon for Dentyne you’ll find in the store (either a tearpad in the aisle, or in the monthly June coupon book found on the wire rack at the front of the store.) The coupon takes another .99 off. With a total of $1.99 coming off your 3-for-$1.98 Dentynes… they’re FREE! (Make sure you give the cashier the store coupon LAST for it to ring correctly.
If you have additional $1 Dentyne coupons, it’s really to your advantage to split them up into separate transactions and do one round of 3 packs for each $1 manufacturer coupon you have. Maximum gum, minimal money!
Guilty pleasure time: In addition to free gum, I love cheap Twizzlers. This week, they’re on sale 2 for $3, with $2 back in RRs when you buy 2! Love that – only .50 a bag! Get a third bag for .50 by using the $1-off-3 Twizzlers coupon from 6/27 SS. Buy 3, pay $3.50 and get $2 back – paying $1.50 for 3, or again, .50 a bag (but now you got an EXTRA bag!)
There are several “Buy $X, get $X in Register Rewards” deals running right now at Walgreens. Some are looking better than others this week..! The “Buy $15, get $3” deal isn’t terribly great, though if you do have the “Score More Savings” coupon book from Jewel, there;s a.75 coupon inside it for the Ritz crackers. And, none of these are sending you home with FREE product, though some will get you cheap products :)
So, let’s tackle the “Buy $25, get $10 in RRs” first. Buying $25 worth of the following items (pre-coupon) will generate a $10 RR. Here are your products and matchups:

Buy 4 Windex at $2.50 each.
Use two $1 printables and one $1 insert coupon.
Pay $7 and get $5 back! 4 bottles for $2 is .50 each.

_____________________________________
A “After the past two weeks’ toilet bowl cleaner deals, there’s no excuse for not having a sparkling bowl” deal
Print four “Buy Toilet Gel, get Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush free” coupons (remember, the Fresh Brush is NOT part of the ECB deal, but you’ll get 4 free here as a bonus)
Use as many $1 toilet gel coupons as you have
With 1 coupon, pay $9 and get $5 back – get 4 toilet cleaners and 4 Fresh Brushes for $4, or .50 each.
If you’re a multiple-inserts person, with 4 $1 coupons, pay $6 and get $5 back – $1 for EIGHT cleaning products is about .13 each!
_____________________________________
Remember, you can only do ONE of these deals per card as the entire “Spend $10, get $5 ECBs” deal is limit ONE per card.
CVS is also running a similar deal to Walgreen’s Schick/Playtex/Edge deal, but this one’s a “Spend $20, get $10.”
You can use the same matchups as Walgreens’ deal — the Playtex is on sale at CVS for $5.29, so an all-Playtex deal would have you using:
– $2.50 off 2 Gentle Glide – 6/27 SS
– $1 off Sport – 6/27 SS
– $1 off Gentle Glide – April, June All You
Buy 4, pay $16.66 after coupons and get $10 back – $6.66 for 4 boxes is $1.67 each, so this deal’s better at CVS if you need Playtex.
Beverage deals: 24-packs of Gold Emblem bottled water are $1.98, limit 2. Dean’s milk is $2.69 a gallon, with $1 back in ECBs, limit 2.
Deals continuing from previous weeks:
Pure & Natural or Pure & Simple PowerBars are on sale for .99 on a month-long June ECB special. Buy one and get .99 back in Extra Care Bucks (limit 3 THROUGH JUNE 30.) (This deal, which has been running all month, is finally in the ad this week. It says it’s limit 2. Unless they’ve changed it from last week (I did it Friday, 6/18) it’s actually limit 3.
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.)

You got this in early.
Thanks for all you do. I love super-couponing and am passing it along.
A woman made a comment to me a week or so ago in Jewel about how their $4-something cheese was $2-something at Target. I briefly made a comment about the 12-week cycles and then handed her one of your mini flyers. I am sure you have another follower now. :-)
icoupon2 says
Wow! You are so good to us! It’s not even 9 p.m. on Sunday night. Go Jill…no really..go Jill, go take a bubble bath or put your feet up with a good book and take a well deserved rest ;0) You’re the best!
tulonl says
Boy was a shocked to see the deals for this week posted! Now I dont have to get up at 5 am to use my hubby’s laptop to print coupons and your deals.
THANKS for all you do! I have saved so much more over the last several months! i look forward to your posts every monday!
HeatherPate says
Would that be in the plastic pack with everything else?
I just checked my 7 papers ;-) and didn’t find one (way northern Illinois area)
icoupon2 says
“You’ll need the Target store coupon for FREE Charmin Freshmates wipes tub with purchase of Charmin toilet paper from the 6/17 Target insert…” is this the 6/27 Target insert or am I missing something from 6/17?
And, since I didn’t get the Target insert, I can still combine the P&G q and the Target q and get a free 4 pack of Charmin correct?
pndm96 says
Was there a CVS sale flyer this week?
savingsfinatic says
This is great! I can complete my shopping schedule and list without being interrupted by my sweet, darling, innocent, home for the Summer kids. What can take me all day, I just completed in less than an hour! The only thing greater would be winning the $100 Cell Fire Gift Card from you Jill :-) A couponer can dream, can’t she???
icoupon2 says
I just read on mashupmom that there is a $1.00/1 TARGET coupon for Aloe Vaseline lotion on p9 of the Trib. Of course, I read that AFTER I put all my papers in the big outside recycle bin. Yuck…when will I learn? I did this with the ham q’s during the holidays too. :(
AuntDiane says
Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM supplement at Walgreens? The only one I could find was $42! Thanks!
AuntDiane says
I bought them at 10:30pm Sunday night.
dschiff says
For those of you who are new and don’t know this yet sc johnson has a $5 rebate when you purchase 3 products on the form listed…glade,windex and scrubbing bubbles are some of the products…but hurry they have to be purchased by 6/30. Also, I called them and asked if I could mail my 3 $5 rebates and receipts together and she said that you can mail all 3 rebate requests in the same envelope. Now not only are they free but moneymakers….YAAAA!!!! HERE IS THE WEBSITE. scjohnson.com/Files/afc-rebate-form.pdf Just copy and paste it with NO www, this is a pdf of the form that you need.
QObsession says
I’m having a hard time finding the bagel chips coupon on that site. Any advice? Thanks!
mluks says
I decided to go ahead and make spreadsheets out of Jill’s information above for the Walgreen’s spend xx deals. You can use the calculator or download a spreadsheet for these deals at http://www.calculateyourshopping.com (I usually only do the Jewel deals, but thought I’d try expanding my horizons. I’m not sure how helpful it will be since Jill already gave us the best deals!)
QObsession says
If you buy 8 DD Kelloggs cereals will you get 2 free milk cats?
lilyrose says
For those that did the Kellogg’s deal awhile back with those boxes of cereal that had coupon on them: There were $1 coupons for Kellogg’s Mini Wheats. I used these with the buy3 for $1.50 each on the Kellogg’s Mini Wheats at Jewel and got cereal for 50 cents!
onajenatalie says
I did this deal this morning at the Jewel in Homewood, and I noticed that the boxes are ringing up $2.29 instead of $2.50 per box. I bought the four @ 2.29, received the instant $4 off the bill & got the $2.50 catalina at the end. I had two .50 coupons so all together including the cat, it comes out to $1.66 (.42/bx). Thanks Jill !!!!
pink says
Hurry the last date to do this is Wed. 6/30!!!!
If you have 2 of the Home Made Simple Booklets with the coupon, buy a Swiffer Starter Kit get a refill free, there is a great deal.
2 Swiffer Starter Kits $8.74 x 2 = $17.48
2 Swiffer 36 ct. refills $11.49 x 2 = $22.98
Total: $40.46
– (2) $3 Target Starter kit coupons
– (2) Buy a starter get a refill free (-22.98)
= $11.48 for everything
Submit for $10 rebate when you buy $20 worth of refills: https://www.swiffer.com/en_US/refillrebate.do
So in essence get everything for $1.48! Thanks Jill for the original info. I did this deal this morning.
If you only have one Buy a starer kit get a refill free, you could still buy an additional $9.51 in refills and submit for the rebate. You would be getting those refills for free.
crystal says
random prices-some shampoos/conditioners are ‘clearanced’ at 4.79(with an additional 50% off), but I found some bottles of conditioners marked down to 99 cents, with 50% off that price. I purchased 3 conditioners at 49cents, and used an expired $1/2 pantene. Be fast, not too many left when I was there!!
Vacation Money says
Jill,
Please refresh my memory on this deal. Cvs has the deal as B1G1F and I have a coupon that is B1G1f so how many Packages do I pick up and then how many of that total am I paying for? Thanks
Whatadeal says
Do the Aunt Millie’s coupons exist? I’ve tried looking in both the 5/16RP and the 6/13RP and none of my inserts (12 total) have these Qs. When I go to their website, there is a 55 cent Q but its only for the Hawaiian hamburger buns. I’m in the FAR northern suburbs and didn’t get them. Anybody else get them?
Shirley says
Anyone found these coupon booklets at Lombard/Wheaton/Glen Ellyn/Villa Park Jewel? If so, can you please tell me where they are located at the store? Thank you.

NO Target coupon for Swiffer in Target insert in Tribune OR Suntimes for 06-27 in Chicago. Must be regional deal. Anyone in Chicagoland get one?

The Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean sprayer deal isn’t in this week’s Target sale ad as $6.99. Just got back from my Target and it rang up as $8.74. Since it’s not in the sale flyer they wouldn’t adjust the price. After coupons it would have been $.74 but not a money maker. Still not a bad deal for an item that’s normally almost $10.00.

Hi Jill,
Why are prices different in the stores even less than 10 miles from each other? I live 10 miles away from work, there is a Target in my community that sells the eggos for $2.14 and the one that is near work sells them for $1.75. I know the 1.75 is a “temporary price cut” but wouldn’t that be in all stores? Thanks in advance.

Where can I find this product? I have been trying to locate it and have been unsuccessful.

“Smuckers ice cream toppings are on sale for $1.50 each. Near the ice cream, look for coupon books called “Cover Up! Your Vanilla is Showing.” Inside, find 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.)”
I have never been more aggravated in my life. I know how to properly use coupons so I know that using the $1.50 off 2 toppings coupon with the buy 3, get 4th free coupon was a proper way to use the coupons. I came up with 4 Smuckers and the two coupons, the cashier said I could use one or the other coupon. I explained how the $1.50 was off the first 2 and the coupon was for the 4th one to be free. She called the service desk and they told me I couldn’t use both coupons. I then told her to take it off my order while she huffed and threw my other coupons in the scanner. She flicked things and then when I was ready to leave, she smiled and told me to have a nice day (like that took away the fit she had and made it all okay). I then went to the service desk where they denied me again, but then quickly said they would do it this time while rolling eyes. I said to forget about it, but now I am going to corporate over this. I have had past problems with this same person and I am going to boycott this Jewel again like I did before. I feel like a coupon criminal even though I was using my coupons properly, I have been doing this for long enough to know that I can use both coupons. And to top it off, she didn’t scan one of my Pampers coupons for the wipes. I don’t usually go on here and complain, but I wanted to warn everyone that they might have resistance to using both coupons.

Anyone find the Fig & Shea butter body wash in the Joliet area? Is it on an endcap or with the other body wash?
QObsession says
nevermind…I reread the Target info listed about…SOME editions received it….:( not me
lilybug07 says
Will the “Buy Toilet Gel, get Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush free” coupon and the $1 toilet gel coupon work since they are both Manufacturer coupons? I’m still new at this, but I thought you could only use 1 manufacturer coupon per item? Thanks!
QObsession says
Anyone still finding the printable on coupons.com for the fresh brush? What zip code? I have 2 that I printed a while back, but they are Target store qs. :(
maggie says
Jill, you mentioned to print the coupons and buy 2. Don’t you mean to buy 4 in one transaction, since the Meijer coupon is $1 off 4 products?
savinmoolah says
Check your “All You” July magazine…there is a $2 off ANY 2 scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaners!!! Yippy!!!
savinmoolah says
Scrubbing Bubbles coupons?? OK, I’m all excited to do this deal…but on the 1st link I couldn’t find the coupon for the free Fresh Brush. All I saw was a coupon for The Shower Kit…the 2nd link was OK – got those 2 coupons. Any ideas? Should I enter a different zip code?
CBoogie says
So, it appears as though you can download the coupon and print it up to 6 times… the only problem is that the numbers and barcodes are identical. It looks as if I photocopied this rather than printing it from the website 6 times. Oh and FYI, if you don’t pay attention and shrink them before you print they are HUGE… takes up almost a whole sheet of paper. Any advice on whether I should try using more than one?

For anyone in the Jewel South Elgin area. They have fruit by the foot and stickers on clearance for $.47 ea. All the way in the back of the store by the toothpaste in a shopping basket. It was a great deal even without the coupons that I forgot to bring with. I also got Cottonelle Fresh wipes (tub) for $1.39 B1G1F. I think they had a wrong sign up because after I checked out I was going to go back and get more but they took the sign down.

Am I the only one who couldn’t get free gum at Walgreen’s? Two Walgreens same thing…I’ll spare you the horrific details at the West Dundee store. The bottom line is I was told at both Walgreen’s as soon as they saw the gum that they are ringing their IVC coupon first and adjusting the $1.00 coupons down to .33 each since that is what the gum actually costs. One of the milder statements “Walgreen’s has figured you all out and we aren’t going to be giving you money anymore”. Sigh…said everyone was talked to about it today. Did anyone get gum today/tonight?
kottonmindless says
I left my coupon folder in the shopping cart. Please let me know if you find it. It’s white.
Thanks.

Did anyone else get one of these if you purchased the Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage at Dom’s? I bought 4 packages today and got one, I didn’t expect it!
