Deals of the Week for March 15, 2010

Good morning, Super-Couponers! Does it feel like you’re getting your Deals of the Week one hour sooner than last week? (From my perspective, I lost an hour of good deal-writing time!) But regardless of how you feel about Daylight Savings Time, I can tell you that it is definitely MONEY-saving time today… we’ve still got some high-level Catalina deals running, as well of loads of freebies and cheapies.

This week’s newspaper contained two inserts: a SmartSource and a RedPlum.

Ready for Chicagoland’s best Deals of the Week? You’ll be taking home more FREE cereal, FREE bread, cheap eggs, FREE chimichangas, cheap pasta, FREE fruit snacks, FREE salad, FREE salad dressing, cheap hot dogs, FREE toothpaste, FREE Band-Aids, FREE Reese’s peanut butter cups … Let’s get started!

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

If you’re new to the site, 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 from both Wednesday and Sunday 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 class 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.

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel, after the Catalina madness of the past few weeks, things have calmed down (slightly.) We still have two big Catalina promos running, which we’ll dig into in just a few.

First, here are a few easy coupon deals…

Tony’s frozen pizzas are on sale for $4.35, B1G1F. Right on the door to the freezer case, you’ll find tearpad coupons for $1-off-2. Buy 2 and pay $3.35 with coupon — that’s $1.68 each! CHEAP frozen pizzas!

If you did the Jewel Freezer Deal in February, you’ll want to use that FREE Tony’s Pizza coupon this week too, as TWO will be free…

If you’re not ridiculously stocked on cereal from the General Mills Catalina deal earlier this month, here’s another cereal deal…

WEDNESDAY EDIT! PRICE IS DROPPING TO $1.59 on THURSDAY – if you haven’t done the deal, WAIT, as it’s that much better..!

Post Honey Bunches of Oats “Just Bunches” are on sale for $2.49. Honey Bunches cereals are part of YourBucks, generating a $2 Catalina when you buy 2.

This double-dips with the national Post Catalina deal currently running. Purchase four (4) Post Cereals, and receive a $3 Catalina.

At $2.49, buy 4 boxes ($9.96.) Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 2/28 SS. Pay $8.96 and get $5 back – that’s .99 a box. But, if you get multiple inserts, it’s a little better…

Use two $1-off-2 coupons from 2/28 SS. Pay $7.96 and get $5 back – $2.96 for four is .74 a box.

OR, do the deal at Dominick’s this week, where it’s even cheaper…

Here’s a little greeting card deal! The current Thursday Jewel flyer has a coupon inside for a free stuffed Easter bunny when you buy 3 American Greetings cards. Make this better with a coupon for Buy One American Greetings card, Get One Free — you can find this great coupon in the Chef’s Kitchen catering booklet at the deli counter in the store. With it, buy 3 cards, pay for 2, and get a free bunny!

The YourBucks Catalina promotion continues to rock and roll! If you haven’t been following this deal, YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON AN INSANE AMOUNT OF FREE AND CHEAP PRODUCTS!

(Did that catch your attention? :)

(If you’re brand-new to the blog, 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’ deals.)

Ready for some scenarios? If you’ve taken my Super-Couponing class, you’ll probably remember a similar sale that I use an example… any time we have a “Buy 10, get $10,” our best items to focus on are the least-expensive items in the sale. Remember too that with any Buy One, Get One Free items included in this sale, the free item DOES count as one of your 10 purchased!

_____________________________________________________

NEW THIS WEEK:

A fabulous, FREE Chimichanga deal

NOTE AND PAY ATTENTION: ONLY two flavors are included. NONE of these are tagged as part of the CHILL deal, so this one could change at any time. DON’T do it if you’re not willing to “eat” it (literally…ha!) if it doesn’t work — I did it yesterday without issue, and other readers have had success, but others have also not gotten the Cat. Proceed with caution…

• Perdue Fresh chicken drumsticks, thighs, or split breasts are $1.99/lb

Over at Dominick’s, their $25/$10 frozen food Catalina continues, as well as a great instant-savings deal on cereals, fruit snacks and granola bars! Read on for the best Dominick’s deals this week…

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. 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.

Kicking things off, Barilla pasta is .88 a box. Use the .55 off Piccolini pasta coupon from 3/7 SS and take this home for .33 a box! There are also .50 off Piccolini pasta coupons in the 8/23/09 SS and 3/29/09 SS for more .38 pasta…

Oscar Mayer Lunchables are on sale for .99. Use this .75 printable on the Lunch Subs variety and pay .24 each! (Note that Dominick’s policy states they will not accept a printable for more than 50% of the value of the item… and yet, this coupon is available to print from Dominicks.com too — so they’re giving you a coupon, on their site, that you technically might not be able to use. Go figure.)

Softsoap 7.5oz. hand soap pumps are $1 again — if you haven’t used them up, there are a few expired .35 coupons out for these that will make the pumps .65 each: 4/26/09 SS, 3/29/09 SS. As these are nearing their one-year expiration date, use them up if you want some cheap soaps…

Here’s a quick and easy deal on Betty Crocker cookie mix. It’s on sale for $1.69 a pouch. Load the .40 ecoupon from Cellfire and stack it with the .40 ecoupon from Shortcuts. AND, stack it with a .40 coupon from 2/7 GM. With a total of $1.20 off, you’re paying .49 for your cookie mix…

“Buy 5, Save 5” instant-savings deal – through 3/17 In this mix and match sale, buying any 5 of the items listed below will result in a $5 instant savings.

It drops to $1 when bought in groups of 5, and with either coupon, they’ll be FREE.) $1.50 group Fruity Pebbles – 11oz.

You cannot mix and match THESE items with the other cereal/snacks/granola instant savings deal… but this one’s sweet too as you’ll get a bunch of free, good foods. ALL of these items will be .99 when purchased in groups of 5 at a time. You can buy 5, 10, 15, or 20, but you MUST buy in quantities of 5.

And again, the ad states that there is “no limit,” but the ad is wrong. The limit is 4 rounds (20 items) per transaction (thank you Tracey for this info!)

_____________________________________________________

A 5-pizza-plus-one deal

Buy 5 California Pizza Kitchen pizzas ($5.99 – total $23.96)
Buy 1 Safeway Frozen Vegetables ($2 – a filler to get us over $25)
OR
Buy 1 Eating Right or Safeway Select frozen meal ($2 – a filler to get us over $25)
OR
Buy 1 Jones All Natural sausage ($2 – also a filler – if you have the $1 coupon for this, it’s even better.)

Pre-coupon total: $25.96

Use as many $1 CPK coupons as you have.

With two $1 CPK coupons pay $23.96 and get a $10 Catalina for the frozen deal and a $3 Catalina for buying four CPK! That works out to $10.94 for five CPK – $2.19 each!

With four $1 CPK coupons, pay $21.96 and get $13 back – $8.96 for five pizzas is $1.79 each!

IF you use the Jones sausage as a filler, with coupons, pay $20.96 and get $10 and $3 back — $7.96 for all is $1.59 a pizza!

_____________________________________________________

CONTINUING FROM LAST WEEK:

A “Time to squeeze even more cheap stuff into your full freezer” scenario

Buy 2 Smuckers Uncrustables ($5)
Buy 1 Yoplait Smoothies ($3)
Buy 1 El Monterey Burritos ($3)
Buy 2 Pillsbury Toaster Strudel ($5)
Buy 1 Jones Frozen Sausage ($2)
Buy 1 Sara Lee Frozen Poundcake ($3.99)
Buy 2 Green Giant Boxed Frozen Vegetables ($3.38)

Total: $25.37

Use two $1 Uncrustables coupons, one $1 Yoplait coupon, one $1.50 El Monterey coupon, one .55 Toaster Strudel coupon, one $1 Jones coupon, one $1 Sara Lee coupon, and one .50 Green Giant coupon. Load Cellfire and Shortcuts .50-off-2 ecoupons for Green Giant. Pay $16.82 and get $10 back! Ten products for just $6.82 works out to .68 each!
_____________________________________________________

A so-so-all-vegetables deal

Buy 14 Green Giant boxed vegetables ($26.60)
Use AS MANY .50 off 2 and .60 off 3 coupons as you have.
Load .50-off-2 coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts.

With 7 .50-off-2 coupons, pay $22.10 and get $10 back. 14 boxes for $12.10 is .86 a box.

(YES, we have and will see these cheaper than this in the future. But if you like and want these… that’s about the best we have at the moment.)

Or…

_____________________________________________________

UPDATED FOR 3/15: A better all-vegetables deal with NO coupons

Buy 16 bags of Safeway Frozen Vegetables ($26)

Pay $16 and get $10 back = $16 for 16 bags.

This deal got much better this week with the drop in price! Remember that these are 32-ounce (2lb) bags. $1 a bag for 2 lbs. of frozen vegetables is a very GOOD price.

_____________________________________________________

And, for those die-hard people who chased the Jewel Preferred Card Update promo around the suburbs throughout 2009, if you did the Update a ridiculous amount of times, you just might have enough coupons for this next, wild scenario:

A “You have HOW many Jewel Update Books?” sausage deal

Buy 13 boxes of Jones Frozen Sausages ($26)
Use 13 $1 coupons from Jewel Preferred Update book
Pay $13 and get $10 back! 13 boxes of sausages for $3!

(Yeah… highly unlikely. BUT, that $1 coupon is an excellent one to work into a mix & match on other products here.)

If you did the $25/$10 P&G Catalina at Dominick’s within the last two weeks, you CAN roll that $10 Catalina into this new frozen food deal — a great way to reduce your out-of-pocket total even more. Be aware that the $10 Catalina you get from this new frozen food deal specifies it is good on your next purchase of FROZEN FOOD. The plus? You can keep rolling it back into this frozen deal.

Moving beyond the Catalina craziness, here are other little Dom’s deals worth noting:

Continuing through 4/1, PureVia sweetener is on sale for $1.99. Use the $2 coupon in 1/3 SS1 and it’s yours… FREE!

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

• Lucerne String or Stick cheese (12-16oz.) are $2.49 a bag with Super Coupon.
• Purina Dog Chow is $9.99 for a 17.6-20lb. bag with Super Coupon. Stack it with the $1.50 coupon from 10/11/09 SS or 10/18/09 SS and pay $8.49!

Dominick’s meat deals:

• 73% lean ground beef is $1.49/lb
• Boneless pork sirloin chops are $1.49/lb
• Fresh Perdue chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb
• Fresh Perdue whole chickens are $1.49/lb
• Corned beef points are $1.67/lb
• Safeway boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are $1.99/lb

Dominick’s produce deals:

• Large Red Delicious apples are .99/lb
• Broccoli crowns or cauliflower are .99/lb
• Jumbo yellow onions are $1 for TWO pounds – EXCELLENT price
• Tender green asparagus is $1.99/lb. Use this .50 coupon and pay $1.49/lb.
• Eating Right baby-cut carrots are $2.50 for a 2lb. bag
• 8lb. bags of navel oranges are $4.99

*A note on Dominick’s Super Coupons: Dominick’s has changed their policy on minimum purchases for “Super Coupons.” You’ll remember that the old policy stated that the $10 or $20 minimums were based on the regular, non-sale, non-Fresh Values prices of the products:

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 before your Club Card discount is applied. This total will include the coupon item’s regular price, not the discounted price. For example,the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (before coupon and before Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon.

Got that? Now look at the new policy on Dominick’s site:

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.

This policy change is certainly a disappointing turn of events, to say the least…

Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals of the week…

Oscar Mayer hot dogs are a STEAL! They’re on sale for $1.50 a package. Buy 2 and get a $2 Catalina — you’ll end up paying $1 for two, or .50 each… without any coupons! This deal currently rolls too (you can use the Catalina from buying one to buy more on a future trip.)

Ore-Ida potatoes are on sale for $2.50 a 20-32 ounce bag. Buy 2 and get $2 in instant savings! Use the $1-off-2 coupon from February All You, and you’ll pay $2 for 2 bags! That’s cheap!

Meijer has Barilla pasta on sale this week for .79. Use the .55 coupon for Piccolini from 3/7 SS and take it home for .24! There’s a .55 coupon for whole grain Barilla in the same insert, and whole grain pastas are the same price too!

Meijer milk is $2 a gallon…

Dannon Light and Fit yogurt is on sale 10 for $4. Use this $1 off 6 coupon, buy 6, and pay just .23 each! Anytime yogurt is under .25 a cup, it’s a buy — and if you didn’t stock up bigtime during last week’s Catalina sale at Jewel, here’s another chance for cheap yogurt…

Meijer meat deals:

• Meijer or Tyson Whole Roaster chickens are .99/lb
• USDA Choice flat cut corned beef is $1.99/lb.
• Angus ground beef from round is $1.99/lb
• Meijer Pollock fillets are $2.79/lb

– this is a little higher than I usually like to pay per pound for anything, but I have not seen fish fillets this low in quite some time, so it’s worth noting.

Meijer produce deals:

• Cabbage is.29/lb
• Lady Alice, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Braeburn, or Jonagold apples are $1.18/lb
• Fresh tender asparagus or white asparagus is $1.99/lb
• Bolthouse Farms baby-cut carrots are $1.98 for a 2lb. bag

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 new, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

For my Rockford-area shoppers (and Kroger shoppers too!) Hilander really has some great sales going on this week that will have you taking home lots of groceries for very little!

Betty Crocker Warm Delights are on sale for $1.50. Stack that .50 ecoupon with a .50 coupon from 2/7 GM, printable, or printable – your .50 coupon doubles to $1, and the ecoupon pays the last .50. It’s FREE! If you like these, the rest of the .50 coupons listed with net you more at .50 each…

Nature Valley Nut Clusters are on sale for $2.29. Stack that $1 ecoupon with the $1 coupon from 2/21 SS, printable, or printable – and you’ll pay .29 for your bag!

Betty Crocker Cookie Mix is on sale for $1.50. Stack the .40 ecoupon with the .40 coupon from 2/7 GM, printable, or printable – it will double to .80, and you’ll pay just .30 for your mix!

Personal care freebies! One of the constants of being a coupon shopper is that you rarely, if ever, pay for ANY personal care products, and this holds true with our next two Hilander deals!

Reach dental floss is also on sale for $1. There are lots of coupons current for this — any $1 coupons from 1/3 RP, 10/18/09 RP, or 10/4/09 RP will have you taking these home FREE!

Listerine Pocket Packs are also (you guessed it) on sale for a buck. The .50 coupons from 1/3 RP and 10/18 RP will double, netting you two FREE!

Hilander meat deals:

• Kroger value chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.19/lb.
• Kroger cornered beef points are $1.57/lb.
• Ground chuck is $1.68/lb
• Perdue boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.87/lb.

Off to Target…

Target’s got a pretty good deal going on selected Kellogg’s cereals and 12-ct. Pop Tarts. They’re on sale for $2.50 a box. Buy 4 and get a $5 Target gift card! Let’s make this better with coupons…

– $1.50 off 2 Frosted Mini Wheats
– $1 off 2 – 3/7 RP
– $1 off 3 – 2/7 RP
– $1 off 2 Pop-Tarts

Want a couple of easy scenarios?

Buy 4 Frosted Mini-Wheats. Use two $1.50-off-2 printables. Pay $7 and get $5 back! That’s .50 a box…

Or…

Buy 4 Kellogg’s Pop Tarts. Use two $1 printables. Pay $8 and get $5 back – that’s .75 a box…

Continuing from last week, there’s a great deal on Crest Kids Toothpaste. It’s on temporary price cut to $1.49. Use the .75 coupon from 3/7 or 2/7 PG and stack it with this $1 Target Store coupon for $1 off Kids’ Crest. And guess what… it’s FREE!

Band-Aids are on price cut to $1.88. Use the $1 Band-Aid coupon from 1/3 RP and stack it with this $1 Target store Band-Aid coupon = FREE Band-Aids! Nice!

Numerous readers have reported seeing Gillette Men’s Body Wash on sale for $1.99 — it’s usually on an endcap and not with the other body washes. This item pairs nicely with the $4 off 2 off Gillette Men’s Body Wash coupons in the 2/21 PG – TWO free!

Anyone who’s taken my Super-Couponing class knows how much I love free Johnson & Johnson’s Buddies baby soaps! This week’s 3/7 RP has a $1 coupon for any Johnson’s Baby product (1/3 RP has the same coupon if you haven’t used it yet.) But why stop there? Here’s another $1 printable… and yet another $1 printable! Yes, that’s a lot of free soap!

Note that because the soaps sell for .97 at Target, the coupons will beep. The cashier can either choose to allow the .03 overage or adjust the value of the coupon down to .97. Strangely, many Target cashiers don’t know how to do this, but it’s addressed right in their coupon policy on Target.com. Print and carry a copy with you if you anticipate any issues.

SuperTarget produce deals:

• Strawberries are $2.50 for a 1lb. package

Over at Kmart, they are ALSO having a high-value Catalina deal this week involving numerous cleaning and paper products!

Kmart is running a “Spend $20, get $5 OR Spend $30, get $10 Catatalina deal. What’s interesting about this sale is that the ad states “Offer is good on ANY size, scent or variety of these featured brands,” and then goes on to list the brands, noting that there are over 165 included items. No worrying about UPC lists or spreadsheets here! Here are your matchups. (Note that the ad features VERY few prices – I’ve noted them here. If you come up with a good scenario, please feel free to post and share it!) Angel Soft – $5.49 for 12 double or 24 regular rolls – .50 off – 2/14 RP Brawny Coast Dial – $3.50 for 8 bar soap, body wash or body wash refill – $1.50 off 2 body wash – printable – $1 off 2 body wash – 3/7 RP – .35 off bar soap – 3/7 RP Dixie – .55 off – 1/24 RP Purex – $4 for 72oz. liquid, $5 for 3-in-1 Quilted Northern Renuzit – $1 for Adjustables, $2.79 for Pearl Scents – .55 off 3 Adjustables – 3/7 RP – Buy 2, Get 1 Free Pearl Scents – 2/14 RP Right Guard – $2.50 deodorant – $2 off 2 – printable, printable Soft Scrub .50 off, $1.50 off – 3/7 RP Sparkle – $5.49 for 8-roll pack – .50 off – 2/14 RP Tone – $3.50 for 6-bar soap Vanity Fair Zout

While we’re on the topic, Kmart’s Super Double Coupons event is scheduled to return 4/4-4/10! More on that as we get closer… but this is a FUN event for Chicagoans, as we have NO double coupon promotions in our immediate area other than this. And, this Catalina sale runs through 4/12/10! So we’ll have some overlap between the Catalina and the double coupons early next month.

Rimmel makeup is 50% off, and there’s a $1 coupon in 3/14 RP. Many cosmetics are going to be a deal here – eyeliners are $2, and with coupon, they’ll be $1. Mascara is $1.75 — just .75 with coupon.

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.)
