Deals of the Week for March 14, 2011

Hello, Super-Couponers! I’m back from lovely Charleston, South Carolina, where it was a balmy 70 degrees. What a way to spend a weekend… with sunshine, palm trees, Southern hospitality… and 2500 Super-Couponers! Oh yes… in case you missed the news, my “little” Super-Couponing class sold out a 2500-seat auditorium on Saturday! And, even though my workshop began at 11am, people were lined up at 7am to get in. It was an amazing day and a record-breaker all around — by far, the LARGEST audience I’ve ever spoken to!

I want to thank both The Post and Courier, which my newspaper column appears in every Wednesday, as well as Piggly Wiggly for sponsoring this gigantic event, which also included a mini-expo of manufacturers and vendors distributing free product samples and coupons for the crowd as well. You can read an article about the day, or watch a news video clip too, which called it “The largest couponing extravaganza ever held in the United States!” (Links open in new windows, so you can still read the Deals!)

AND… from the bottom of my heart, thank you to the thousands of South Carolina couponers who came out on Saturday to my class. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you afterward, and I can’t express how wonderful it was to see such an amazing turnout. The South Carolina stores had better be ready for a swarm of shoppers armed with new couponing knowledge!

And now, it’s time for Deals of the Week once again. I’ve got all the best supermarket and drugstore deals of the week written just for you… all in one place, on one page! As always, grab your scissors and coupon inserts, and get ready to start clipping this week, as bunches of bargains and freebies are heading your way!

This week’s newspaper contained two coupon inserts: SmartSource (SS) and RedPlum (RP.)

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.

It’s a good idea to save the grocery and drugstore flyers each week from the newspaper 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 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, 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 too.

“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.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel… (View weekly ad)

This week’s 2011 Jewel Freezer Deal coupon matchups:

Dean’s Churn Ice Cream: It’s currently on sale B1G1F again through 3/16! If you missed this the last time it was B1G1F, use your coupon for one free carton this week and get TWO free!

My daughter’s favorite food is on sale again… pierogies! Mrs. T’s Pierogies are on sale for $2 a box. Use the $1 coupons from 3/6 RP, March All You or a printable or another printable or ANOTHER printable and pay $1! There’s also a $1-off-2 coupon in the 1/30 RP1.

(These pierogies are even cheaper at Meijer this week though if you shop there as well… read on if you’d rather pay .33 a box!)

Deli Swiss cheese deal! Kerrygold Swiss Cheese in the deli is on sale for $3.99 per half-pound. This is more than I like to spend for deli cheese, so let’s use a coupon… with a twist. Keep reading…

First, print this coupon for $1 off ANY Kerrygold butter or cheese.

Now, here’s where the fun begins. Half a pound of deli Kerrygold Swiss cheese is $3.99. A quarter-pound is about $2. If you have the deli slice about a quarter-pound, use the $1 off ANY Kerrygold coupon and pay $1!

If you want a very small quantity of sliced cheese, 1/8th of a pound would be close to $1, and you’d pay just change for it after the coupon. Remember, you cannot use this coupon if the cheese’s value is under $1 though, under Jewel’s current coupon policy. I’m going with the 1/4 lb. cheese for $1 here as we love Swiss, and that is a better price at the deli.

(This is also a great price for Kerrygold in general if you like their products. To compare, Meijer has Kerrygold Irish Cheddar cheese on sale this week – 7-ounce packages are $4.99..!)

Reader Tmurphy spotted a great deal on Dean’s Dip! It’s on sale for $2 a tub, and it’s also part of a Catalina deal – buy two and receive a $1 Catalina. Use a coupon to make this even better… the 1/23 SS has a $1-off-2. So, buy 2 tubs of dip. With coupon, pay $3 and get a $1 Catalina, knocking these to just $1 each!

Butterball Turkey Bacon (12oz.) is on sale for $2.99. Use the .55 coupon from 1/16 SS and pay $2.44! There’s also a .50 coupon in the March All You.

Jewel’s flyer is showing Post Honey Bunches of Oats on sale for $1.69 each. Unfortunately, the ad is NOT showing the raisin variety, which of course there are nice $1 coupons in the 2/27 SS for. IF the new raisin kind is included, they’d be .69, but as I just got back from traveling this weekend, I didn’t have a chance to get to Jewel to check prices in-store yet.

UPDATE! Many readers have written to say that the Raisin Medley IS included, so you’re looking at .69 cereal! Sweet!

16lb.-17.6lb. Kibbles N’ Bits Dog Food is on sale for $9.99. Use the $2 coupon from 2/20 RP and pay $7.99.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals

Indian Summer apple juice (64oz.) is on sale for $3.49, Buy One Get One Free. That works out to about $1.75/bottle.

96oz. Jewel orange juice is $3.99.

24oz. jars of Wild Harvest Organic applesauce are $2.69.

8oz. tubs of Jewel sour cream are $1.

32oz. bags of Jewel Powdered or Brown Sugar are $1.67.

Jewel-Osco information:

Jewel-Osco has a Facebook page. If you have questions directly for corporate, you can ask them there (and they answer promptly!)

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list yet? Jewel has been making coupons available for many different products over the past few months, and they’re usually store coupons that you can stack manufacturer coupons with too.

Coupon books currently found at Jewel:

Value Your Heart – $35 worth of coupons, including one for a free 8-pack of Coke when you buy 3 12-packs

Jewel meat deals:

• Reuben corned beef brisket point cut is $1.69/lb.
• Perdue chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.69/lb.
• Perdue ground chicken and turkey burgers are $3.99, B1G1F for a 1lb. package – that’s about $2/lb. (remember to buy 2!)

Jewel produce deals:

• Green cabbage is .39/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Red B Potatoes are $1.99 – that’s about .66/lb.
• 5lb. bags of red grapefruit are $3.49 – that’s about .70/lb.
• Farm Stand baby peeled carrots are $1.99, B1G1F for a 1lb. bag – that’s about $1/lb. (Remember to get 2 bags!)
• 3lb. bags of sweet onions are $2.99 – that’s about $1/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Cara Cara navel oranges are $3.49 – that’s about $1.16/lb.
• Broccoli crowns or cauliflower are $1.29/lb.
• Ambrosia or Pink Lady apples are $1.99/lb.

(Anytime meat is under $1.99 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry) it’s a buy in my book, because $1.99 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices — ditto for most produce. Seafood, by its nature, is more expensive per pound, but a good “buy” benchmark is $4 per pound or less for fish or shrimp.)

Let’s go to Dominick’s (View weekly ad)…

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.

Dominick’s Super Coupons:
These are store coupons found in the weekly Dominick’s flyer, which (in the case of the name-brand products) means they can be stacked with manufacturer coupons for even bigger savings. You can also now load these Super Coupons to your Fresh Values card via Dominicks.com and not have to clip them. Best bets this week?

In the Mar. 10-Mar. 16 flyer – “4 Day Sale” on cover:

• If you missed the “Swiffer Refill Insanity” last week at Jewel, Dominick’s has Swiffer Refills (6-32ct.) on sale for $7.99, limit 3, with Super Coupon. Use the B1G1F coupon from 2/27 PG and pay $7.99 for TWO, or about $3.50 each.
   
• Clorox bleach (82-96oz.) is on sale for $1.49, limit 2, with Super Coupon. Print this .25 printable and pay $1.24.
   
• Silk Soymilk is on sale for $2.79, limit 3, with Super Coupon. Use the .75 coupon from 2/6 SS and pay $2.04.
   

In the Mar 13.-Mar. 19 flyer – “St. Patrick’s Day Savings!” on cover:

• 6-packs of Snapple are $4.88 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Use the $1 coupon from 1/30 SS (expires TODAY, March 14th!) and pay $3.88. Look on Snapple displays for a mail-in rebate form too which you can send in to make this FREE!
   
• 2lb. bags of Waterfront Bistro medium raw shrimp are $7.98, limit 5, with Super Coupon. That’s $3.99/lb., an excellent per-pound price for shrimp!
   
• 3-packs of Jell-O Gelatin pudding snacks are $1.99 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Print a .75 coupon and pay $1.24! These are also part of a national Catalina deal… continue reading this week’s Dominick’s deals for a scenario!
   

THROUGH MONDAY ONLY: If you like these offers, jump on them today:

Lucerne 16oz. butter is $2.99.

16oz. loaves of Nancy Martin Bread are .88 each.

Doritos (11.5-13oz.) are $1.50/bag.

Here’s a deal on Jell-O refrigerated pudding or gelatin cups. They’re on sale for $1.99 each with Super Coupon. Jell-O cups (and Jell-O Temptations cups, which are also $1.99 for a 3-pack) are also involved in a Catalina sale, with a $3.00 Catalina when you buy 4.

You’ll want to add some coupons into the mix too before we get started… here’s are .75 Jell-O and $1 Jell-O Temptations printables (print 2 of each!) or the 2/13 SS has a .50 coupon as well.

So… buy two Jell-O 6-packs and two Jell-O Temptations 3-packs ($7.96)

Use two .75 printables and 2 $1 printables.

Pay $4.46 and get $3 back! That’s $1.46 for all four, or about .37 per multipack.

Cans of Hormel Chili are .75 each when you buy FOUR. You must buy 4 or more to get the .75/can price. Use the $1.50-off-3 coupon from February All You and pay $1.50 for 4, or about .38 each!

Another way to do the deal… the 2/13 SS has a $1-off-3 coupon. With two coupons, buy 6 cans ($4.50.) Use two $1-off-3 coupons and pay $2.50 for six cans, or about .42 a can.

Dominick’s is running a “Buy 4, Save $4” sale on Breyers, Starbucks, Ben & Jerry’s, Magnum, Klondike, Bertolli’s and P.F. Chang’s through 3/22/11. Prices shown in the ad are AFTER instant savings. You must buy four to receive the prices shown.

Honestly, nothing in the ad looks terribly great to me, except the Magnum Belgian Chocolate ice cream bars. Magnum promises “the most intense ice cream pleasure.” Magnum bars come in 3-packs and are $2.49 when you buy 4. Here’s a $1 coupon (print 2!) and you’ll drop these to $1.49 a box. That’s still .50 per bar, but they look pretty tasty for a “luxury” ice cream bar.

If you have access to two computers, print 4 and do an all-Magnum deal.

Arm & Hammer 55oz-68.75oz. laundry detergent and 144ct. fabric softener sheets are on sale for $3.99 per bottle or box of sheets. If you buy 3 or more, the price drops to $3 each.

The 2/13 SS has a $1-off-2 coupon for any Arm & Hammer laundry products. If you’ve got two of these coupons, the easiest deal is to buy 4 items. For this example, I’ll assume you’re buying the detergent, because you should probably have a nice stockpile of FREE Gain fabric softener sheets from previous deals, correct?

So, buy four 44-load bottles of detergent ($12.) Use two $1-off-2s and pay $10 for 4 bottles, or $2.50 each – that’s about .06 per load.

Dannon DanActive yogurt 4-packs are $1.99 each. Use $1 DanActive coupon from 3/6SS and pay .99!

New Just For U ecoupons on Dominicks.com: 16oz. Perdue Lean Ground Turkey for $1.99, and Safeway Canned Vegetables for .50 each, limit 4.

Dominick’s is also running a Buy One, Get One Free sale on a variety of cheeses. Here they are, with matchups…

Kraft Cracker Barrel Cheese Chunks
– $1 off 2 – Game Day Playbook coupon book (in-store – Guy Fieri on cover)
Kraft Cream Cheese
– $1 off 2 – Game Day Playbook coupon book
Kraft Natural Slices
– $1 off 2 – Game Day Playbook coupon book
Kraft Shredded Cheese
– $1 off – printable
– $1 off 2 – 3/13 SS, Game Day Playbook coupon book
Kraft Singles
– .55 off – 2/13 SS
– $1 off 2 – 2/13 SS, Game Day Playbook coupon book
Sorrento String Cheese

Of course, there are no prices in the ad, which is usually a clue that they’re not on sale. Again, due to spending the weekend with my Charleston Super-Couponers, I didn’t make it to Dominick’s to scope this out, but one reader said most cheeses were $3.99 at her store.

Please feel free to post if you spot a deal with this. Now, if you have any of these items locked in on your Just For U at a good price, this could be a fun one — several readers have written to say that they have Kraft shredded cheese for $1.94. If you do, use a $1 coupon on the first bag and pay .94 for TWO, or .47 a package! A STEAL!

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Artisan bulk bagels are .33 each.

Mott’s Apple Juice and Ocean Spray Cranberry drinks (64oz.) are 3-for-$5, or about $1.67 each.

If you haven’t yet signed up for the “Just For U“ electronic discounts that you can load to your Dominick’s Fresh Values card, you may want to. For registering your card, you’ll receive an ecoupon for a FREE 12-ct. Lucerne large eggs! You’ll also activate a set of electronic discounts that are tied to your card for the next 90 days. Each person’s discounts are different, and they’re based on past purchases made with your Fresh Values card at Dominick’s.

Coupon booklets currently found at Dominick’s
Note that this is a listing of what you MAY find. Coupon books tend to move very quickly once they become available! Look on displays throughout the store to find them. Some Dominick’s are now keeping these coupon books behind the Customer Service counter, so you may want to ask at your store.

$42 Frozen Food Coupons – Just as the title says, it contains $42 worth of coupons for frozen food :)

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)…

 

Here’s a fun deal on Starkist Tuna! This week, Starkist tuna pouches are on sale 20% off, which makes them about $1 each at most Meijer locations (regular prices do vary a bit store to store.) For this example, I will use $1 as the price per pouch.

Meijer Mealbox currently has a $1-off-2 store coupon. The 3/6 RP insert has a $1.50-off-3 coupon, but to do this deal well, you’ll need a second coupon from the same insert.

Now, assuming $1 per pouch, buy six ($6.)
Use three $1-off-2 Mealbox coupons (now $3) and two $1.50-off-3 coupons (now FREE!)

Best part? This deal is also generating a $1.50 Catalina for buying 5 or more pouches, which makes this a moneymaker!

Mrs. T’s Pierogies are on sale 3-for-$5, about $1.67 a box. Use the $1 coupons from 3/6 RP, March All You or a printable or another printable or ANOTHER printable and pay .67! There’s also a $1-off-2 coupon in the 1/30 RP1 that will net you more boxes for $1.07 each.

As if that weren’t good enough… buying 3 Mrs. T’s Pierogies will also net you another $1 in instant savings! With three $1 coupons, buy 3, pay $2… and get another $1 off. Three boxes for $1 is about .33 a BOX, and a stock-up-like-mad price for pierogies!

Here’s a deal on Jell-O refrigerated pudding or gelatin cups. They’re on sale for $2.50 each. For each 6-pack of the cups that you buy, you’ll get a 3-pack of Jell-O Temptations Pie or Cheesecake flavor FREE! Now, these Jell-O cups are also involved in a Catalina sale for a super double dip this week, with a $3.00 Catalina when you buy 4.

You’ll want to add some coupons into the mix too before we get started… here’s a .75 printable (print 2!) or the 2/13 SS has a .50 coupon as well.

Let’s put the deal together…

Buy 2 Jell-O 6-packs and 2 Jell-O Temptations 3-packs. ($5.)

Use two .75 printables. (Meijer typically will not allow a manufacturer coupon on a free item, so we won’t worry about the Temptations.)

Pay $3.50 and get $3 back! That’s .50 for all four, or about .13 per multipack. Super cheap!

Yoplait Trix Yogurt, GoGurt, and Splitz are all on sale 3-for-$5, or $1.67 each. There are quite a few .75-off-2 coupons out for the Trix and GoGurt: 2/13 GM, 1/30 SS, or a printable. With any of these coupons, buy two 6-packs of Trix or GoGurt and pay $2.59 for two, or about $1.30 each.

The 2/13 GM also has a .50 off Splitz coupon, which will knock those 4-packs to $1.07 each!

Gorton’s fish sticks, battered or breaded fillets or tenders (17.3-24.5oz.) are on sale for $3.49. There are .50 Gorton’s coupons in the Dominick’s $70 Playbook coupon book, 2/13 SS and the 1/16 SS, $1-off-2 printables here, and if you’ve got any Gorton’s products currently in the freezer, they may have $1-off-2 coupons inside as well.

This deal gets better because you’ll get $1 in instant savings for buying any TWO Gorton’s frozen items! So, buying two knocks the price down to $2.99 per package. Coupons will take another .50 off, bringing you to a very nice price of $2.50 each, particularly for the 20-ounce and larger sizes.

Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers are on sale Buy One, Get One Free this week at Meijer. Their regular price is $2.19 at most stores. But, Meijer Mealbox has a $1-off-2 coupon. Print it and plan to buy FOUR. Why? Meijer store coupons will typically not ring “off” the price of the free item.

So, buy FOUR. The $1-off-2 takes .50 off each price of the two bags you’re paying for, and you’ll pay $3.38 for four, or about .85 a bag. Not bad for Goldfish…

Reader Penny J Pincher spotted a great deal on Meijer High Performance Laundry Detergent. The 40oz. bottle is on sale for $4.00 this week. Catalinas have been printing recently for… you guessed it… $4 off Meijer High Performance Laundry Detergent. If you’ve got one, now would be the best time to use it, as the detergent will be FREE!

BONUS: Penny writes that another $4 detergent Catalina printed with each transaction she did (even on unrelated grocery items) and after three transactions, she had 3 more $4 Catalinas to spend. If you’re splitting up transactions, watch that printer… and you may be able to go collect free detergent for your last round through the lane!

Aunt Millie’s Healthy Goodness breads and buns are on sale for $3.29, Buy 1, get 2 FREE. Use a .55 off bread printable for your first package, and get the other two free, paying $2.74 for all three packages, or about .91 each.

(Note that SOME local newspapers OTHER than the Tribune [like the Herald, etc.] occasionally have Aunt Millie’s coupons too in the RedPlum insert – it’s one of those odd regional rarities. And, Meijer typically does not allow you to use a manufacturer coupon on a free item… otherwise, it would be a little sweeter with 2 or 3 coupons.)

Pillsbury Refrigerated Grands biscuits (12-16oz.) are on sale for .99 a can. Use this .40-off-2 printable, buy two and pay .79 per can. There’s also a .35-off-2 coupon in the 2/13 GM.

Yes, we do see Grands cheaper than this, but if you’re not stocked up (or have a freezer stacked with Grands, Tetris-style!) this price isn’t terrible.

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks were on sale for crazy-cheap last week at Dominick’s. But if you missed that deal, they’re now on sale for 3-for-$5 (about $1.67 each) at Meijer. They’re also involved in a double-dip Catalina sale: Buy 3 get $1 Catalina; Buy 4 get $2 Catalina; Buy 5 or more, get $3 Catalina.

There are lots of coupons available for this deal. Find .50-off-2 coupons in the 3/6 SS, 2/13 GM printable, printable, printable, printable (Target manufacturer coupon.)

So, buy 5 boxes of fruit snacks ($8.33)
Use two .50-off-2 coupons ($7.33)

Pay $7.33 and get a $3 Catalina – $4.33 for 5 boxes of fruit snacks is about .87 a box.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

Gallons of Meijer milk are $2 each.

18oz. jars of Meijer Grape Jelly or Jam, Strawberry Jam or Blackberry Preserves are $1.67.

10-15oz. cans of Meijer canned beans and Meijer Naturals canned tomatoes are .59 each.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Are you a Meijer Mperks member yet? 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:

• Honeysuckle bone-in frozen turkey breast is $1.69/lb.
• Center cut half boneless pork loin is $1.89/lb.
• Flat cut corned beef brisket are $1.99/lb., limit 2 packages.
• 4lb. bags of Meijer frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts are $7.99 each – that’s about $2/lb.

Meijer seafood deals:

• 1lb. packages of Meijer frozen tilapia fillets are $3.50
• Fresh wild-caught ocean perch fillets are $3.99/lb.

Meijer produce deals:

• Cabbage is .25/lb.

• 2lb. bags of lemons or limes are $2 – A STEAL for these!
• 1lb. containers of strawberries are $1.25 each – GREAT PRICE!
• 2lb. bags of Bolthouse Farms baby-cut carrots are $2.50 – that’s $1.25/lb. (Or, go organic – 1lb. bags of Earthbound Farm Organic baby-cut carrots are $1.25, the same per-pound price! And, if you’re on Earthbound Farms’ mailing list, you may have coupons to cut this great price even more!)
• 5lb. boxes of sweet mandarins are $5.49 – that’s $1.10
• Organic Gala, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples are $1.29/lb.
• Organic Anjou pears are $1.29/lb.
• Large pineapples are $2.50 each

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 haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the oter Illinois Meijers, under the convoluted reasoning that because the stores are newer, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.

Drugstore Deals

Heading to Walgreens (View weekly ad)…

Is there ever a week without FREE stuff at Walgreens? Not often. This week’s no exception, so we’ll kick things off with FREE Right Guard Deodorant or Body Wash! They’re on sale for $3.99, Buy One, Get One Free. Use the B1G1F coupon from 3/13 RP, buy two, and pay… NOTHING! Two are FREE!

This one’s going to fly this week, so make sure you get rainchecks. With the coupon expiring on April 10th, you’ve got almost a month to cash in on this deal IF you get a raincheck.

Mini Super-Couponing lesson: Why does this work? When you use a B1G1F coupon during a B1G1F sale, you will buy none and get two free. Here’s why… and remember, it’s important to think of your coupons AS cash. If you walk into the store and give them $3.99 in cash, how many Right Guard deodorants will that pay for? Two — because the store is selling you two for $3.99. Now, look at your B1G1F coupon. What is its value? Up to $4.49. Think of coupon as stating “up to $4.49 off two Right Guard deodorants,” and when the price of two deodorants is $3.99… the coupon’s up-to-$4.49 value pays the entire price. You WILL pay tax on the pre-coupon price, as always… but both items will be free.

It’s important to note too that you do not get coupon overage with a free or B1G1F coupon when the value is “up to $4.49.” Legally, the cashier must enter the price of the first item, which in this case is $3.99. The store’s B1G1F sale makes the second item FREE. If you like learning coupon tips like these, check out my Super-Couponing workshop or DVD!

And, as long as you’re getting FREE deodorant this week, why not get some more? Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day this week, Irish Spring deodorant is on sale 2-for-$6. Buy two and get $4 back in Register Rewards!

Print two $1 coupons. Buy two, and after coupons pay $4. Get $4 back in Register Rewards and… BOTH are FREE!

There’s also a .50 Irish Spring coupon in the 3/13 SS for more cheap deodorant.

Walgreens diaper deal! Walgreens W (store-brand) jumbo packs of diapers or training pants are on sale for $8.99, Buy One Get One Free. At the store, look for the Infant Care coupon book (many people have spotted it in the baby aisle or at the makeup counter.) Inside, there’s a $2 off W Diapers coupon. With it, pay $6.99 for TWO, or about $3.50 a pack!

(Note that Walgreens DOES allow two coupons on a B1G1F sale, so you can try to use two $2 coupons on each pack to drop this to $4.99 for two, or $2.50 each. However, this particular coupon has NOT been scanning automatically off each pack. Print and carry their policy from their website if you wish to try.)

Purex Complete Fabric Softener is on sale for $4.99. Buy it and get $2 back in Register Rewards! Use the $2 coupon from this week’s 3/13 RP, pay $2.99 and get $2 back. It’s yours for .99!

Purex also has a $1 Facebook printable which will net you $1.99 fabric softener.

Dial Gold Liquid Hand Soap is .99 a bottle (9.375oz.,) limit 3, with the store coupon in this week’s Wags ad. Stack this with the .35 coupon from this week’s 3/13 RP and pay .64!

Another Dial deal: Dial NutriSkin Lotion (21oz. – big bottle!) is on sale for $4.99. Buy it and get $3 back in Register Rewards! Make the deal better by using the $1 coupon from 3/13 RP. Pay $3.99 and get $3 back, dropping your lotion to just .99!

Here’s a deal on Herbal Essences and Aussie hair care. It’s on sale for $2.99. Buy a bottle and get $1 back in Register Rewards!

Now, even though you’ll only get ONE $1 RR, we’re going to buy TWO bottles to do this deal. Grab your 3/13 SS and cut the coupon for “Buy one Aussie or Herbal Essences, get one free.” Now, buy two. Pay $2.99 for two, get $1 back, and you’ve ultimately paid $1.99 for TWO bottles, or about $1 each!

If you’ve got the 2011 P&G Everyday Savings coupon book, there’s also a $1 coupon inside for any Aussie or Herbal Essences product. Use this on your first bottle… use the B1G1F on your second bottle… and ultimately, you’ll pay .99 for TWO, or about .50 each! A STEAL!

Renuzit Crystal Elements crystal air freshener (18oz.) is on sale for $3.99. Use the $3 coupon from 3/13 RP and pay .99!

But why stop there? Renuzit Cone Air Fresheners are a steal this week too. They’re on sale for .79 each, limit 6, with the store coupon in this week’s Wags ad. Clip the “Buy 3, get 3 FREE” coupon from 3/13 RP, buy 6 and pay $2.37 for 6, or about .40 each!

Pine-Sol is on sale for $1.99. Use this $1 printable and pay .99!

__________________________

Scenario ideas:

A “Stock up on Paper” deal:

Buy 1 Bounty 12-roll pack ($13)
Buy 1 Charmin 16-roll packs ($10)
Buy 2 boxes Puffs tissue [make sure one is Puffs With Vicks] ($3)

Pre-coupon total: $26

Use $1 Bounty coupon, $1 Charmin coupon, and “Buy ANY Vicks product, get Puffs free” coupon. (The Puffs with Vicks IS a “Vicks product!” With it, your second box of Puffs will be free.)

After coupons, pay $22.50 and get $10 back – ultimately, $15.50 for all. Think of it as $7.75 for both big packs, plus “free” Puffs!

Note: You can do the same deal with two Charmin and four Puffs too, if you’ve got two of the B1G1F Vicks/Puffs coupons from 2/27 PG. The cost will be the same, if you prefer a TP-only stockup. Ditto an all-Duracell deal – 2 Duracell, 4 Puffs.

CVS is running a DIFFERENT “Spend $25, Get $10 in ECBs” deal on baby items. Here are your products and matchups:

Advil (ad smartly specifies that this is “FOR MOM!”) or Children’s Advil (40-50ct., 16-20ct., 4oz or .5 oz.) – $4.50
– $1 off – 1/30 RP1

CVS Baby Care baby wipes, shampoo, lotion, bath wash, powder, oil, detangler or travel kits – $2.50

Enfamil formula (22.2-25.7oz.) – $22
– If you’re on Enfamil’s mailing list, see if you have any dollars-off checks to use.

Gerber baby cereal or baby juice 4-packs – $2.50
– Check home mailers from Gerber for possible coupons

Lansinoh nursing pads, breastmilk storage bags or lanolin – $9

Pampers big boxes, Baby Dry, Swaddlers or Cruisers diapers – $20
– $2 off – 2/27 PG
– $1 off – 2011 P&G Everyday Savings coupon book

Pampers Natural Stages drinking cups, pacifiers or bottles – $5

_____________________

Scenario ideas:

There aren’t a lot of coupons out for any of this stuff. I’d go for the diapers or the formula here as the ECB is a good way to knock the price of those expensive items down.

If you’ve got any Gerber coupons (direct-mailed from being on their mailing list,) see if you can work them into the deal. One box of Pampers, plus two Gerber cereal/juices puts you at $25. Use the $2 Pampers coupon from 2/27 PG. Any other coupons you’ve got will knock this down more – pay $23 or less and get $10 back, ultimately knocking the big box of Pampers to $13, plus “free” Gerber.

Or, do the same deal with some CVS baby products, like wipes. Pampers plus two tubs of wipes will again put you at $25 – use $2 Pampers coupon, pay $23 and get $10 back.

_____________________

For the Enfamil, the best thing to use to get you just over the $25 mark is the Advil. One Enfamil and one Advil puts you at $26.50. Use the $1 Advil coupon to go to $25.50, plus any Enfamil checks you have. Pay $25.50 or less and get $10 back, knocking the formula to $15.50, with “free” Advil.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

Gold Emblem spice shakers are .88 each.

Just The Basics paper towels are .50 per roll.

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

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.
   
• 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. Several readers have written to say that they are also now successfully using Walgreens Register Rewards 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 have heard from one reader who used a $3 Register Reward on a $2.49 copy of All You magazine and DID receive change, in cash.
   

These changes to Walmart’s coupon policy are nothing short of impressive. I would print a copy and carry it with you if you anticipate any issues.

What does this mean for coupon shoppers?

Well, probably 80% of the advertised deals I write about that involve store coupons can now be done at Walmart too if you’re willing to bring the competitors’ ads and coupons with you. The exception, of course, is anything involving a Catalina. For example, you could not do the current Dominick’s Betty Crocker fruit snack deal at Walmart. While they would match the .99 price per box, you would not receive a fruit snack Catalina BACK from the register at the end.

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 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.)
