Deals of the Week for March 28, 2011

Hello, Super-Couponers! Can you believe that this is the last week of March? We’re counting the days until my upcoming Super-Couponing 2 DVD filming on Saturday! I’m looking forward to seeing so many of you at the video shoot. If you’re currently registered for this event and cannot make it, please call the Elgin Library to let them know, as there is a very long waitlist for the taping.

It was fun to see so many Super-Couponers in Indiana this past weekend at the Home and Garden Expo too! Over 3500 people attended over both days, and truly… Northern Indiana’s about to have a FORCE of couponers hitting the stores! It was wonderful to meet so many people who are reading my column in The Times each Sunday as well. (I love being in the paper on Sundays when all of the coupons come..!)

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 three coupon inserts: TWO SmartSource (SS) and one RedPlum (RP.)

New blog readers: If you’re interested in learning to save on almost everything you buy at the grocery store, why not attend a Super-Couponing workshop? Many are FREE, and in one hour you’ll learn how to cut your grocery bill 50-70%! You can also learn with my Super-Couponing DVD workshop from anywhere in the country! Learn more!

A couple last notes before we jump into the Deals… Kmart is doing Super Double Coupons again this week, doubling up to .99 coupons. As there’s no such thing as a .99 manufacturer coupon (!) the best you could hope to do here is doubling some of your .75 coupons to $1.50. You’ll need a Shop Your Way card to participate in doubling. Kmart’s ad also notes that their Winter Apparel Clearance is currently at $2.99 throughout the store.

Now… ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy bacon-wrapped filets for $1 each, .49 Hartz Crunch and Clean dog treats, .99 Pedigree Good Bites dog treats, $1.49 Xtra laundry detergent, .09 Stayfree pads, .16 McCormick spices, .79 Pebbles Treats bars, .49 Danimals and Dannon Light and Fit yogurts, .25 Clorox wipes, .24 Wish Bone salad dressing, a $5-off-$15 frozen food sale, .24 Heluva Dip, .99 Heinz Ketchup, .67 Ken’s salad dressing, FREE Clorox toilet bowl cleaner, .08 Tilex Fresh Shower Spray, .30 Dial pump soaps, .97 Bic Twin 10ct. razors, $1.49 Pop-Tarts, FREE Degree deodorant, FREE Vaseline lotion, FREE Colgate toothpaste, .49 Speed Stick, .45 Edge and Skintimate shaving gels, FREE Snickers Creme Eggs, .49 Mentos gum, $1.99 6-double-roll Charmin toilet paper, .50 Clean and Clear body wash, .12 Halls cough drops, bargain-priced Nature Made vitamins… so let’s get started!

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)

One of our favorite sales is back! Chef’s Requested Bacon-Wrapped Beef Filets are on sale for $7.99, B1G1F. There are two 5oz. steaks in each pack.

Note that the printable coupons available for this deal are limit one per household. But, there are a few to choose from:

$1 off Chef’s Requested twin-pack bacon wrapped filets

$3 off Chef’s Requested twin-pack bacon wrapped filets

$1.50 off any 2 Chef’s Requested products

Deal scenario #1: With one $3 coupon and one $1 coupon, buy 2 packages (four steaks.) You’ll pay $3.99 for 4 steaks – that’s about $1 per filet!

Deal scenario #2: With one $1.50-off-2 coupon, buy 2 packages (four steaks.) You’ll pay $6.49 for 4 steaks – that’s about $1.62 per filet.

Longtime blog readers, check your printables too! We’ve seen this deal a few times over the past year. Last year, Chef’s Requested’s site had “Buy 3, get 1 Free” printables for these steak 2-packs (no longer available.) The printables had a notoriously long expiration date of December 2011. If you are still holding onto these, your best deal scenario is this:

Buy 4 packages (8 steaks.)

Use the $3 printable on your first pack (priced at $7.99)
Use the $1 printable on your second pack (priced at $0 with store’s B1G1F sale)
Use the Buy 3, Get 1 Free coupon on your third pack (priced at $7.99, but coupon will take entire price off)
The 4th package of steak has no coupon, but is also free with the store’s B1G1F sale.

With this scenario, you’ll pay $3.99 for 8 steaks – that’s about .50 per filet!

Every time this deal comes around, people either love or hate these steaks. We love. :) You really do have to make sure you don’t overcook them, but we have yet to have a bad one.I sautee them in a pan with a little garlic olive oil and they come out juicy and tender. (And yes, while these steaks are over our usual per-pound meat “benchmark” price, this is a very good price for a “nice” dinner at home. :)

My beautiful sister Lynn spotted a super deal on Hartz Crunch N’ Clean dog treats! They’re on clearance at numerous Jewel locations for $1.99 a box. There’s a $1.50 coupon in the 3/6 SS that will net you .49 dog treats! There are also a bunch of $1 coupons in past issues of All You magazine: February 2011, October 2010, August 2010, and May 2010! All of these will net you more treats at .99 a box. (And, if you don’t mind opening your boxes, we’ve found that many of our boxes have had additional $1 coupons inside!)

Time to stock up on dog treats! Look for boxes with a free chew toy inside too!

Another dog treat deal? (Woof!) Pedigree Good Bites dog treats are on sale for $2.99. Use the $2 coupon from the new 3/27 RP and pay .99!

Laundry detergent deal! Xtra Laundry Detergent (75oz., 48 load) is on sale for $1.99. Use the .50 coupon from 3/6 SS and pay $1.49 – that’s .03 per load!

We’ve had a lot of pasta sauce deals lately, but just in case you missed them (or need more!) … Prego pasta sauce (23-24oz.) is on sale for $1.50 a jar. Buy 3 and use the $1-off-3 coupon from 1/2 SS2 (expires 3/31!) You’ll pay $3.50 for 3 jars, or about $1.17 a jar.

Jewel is running a “Spend $20, get $5” Catalina deal on selected Johnson & Johnson products. I’m not seeing anything super-crazy here unless you’re a multiple-insert person. If you are, you could possibly do an all-Stayfree deal in this way:

Buy 11 packages of Stayfree pads ($21.89)

Use as many of these coupons as you have:

– Buy 1 Stayfree, Get 1 Free – 1/9 SS2 (expires 3/31!)
– $1 off – 3/27 RP
– $2 off 2 – printable

With 5 B1G1F coupons (taking $9.95 off) and 6 $1 coupons (or $2-off-2 coupons that take a dollar discount off each package,) you’ll pay $5.94 and get $5 back! That’s 11 packages of Stayfree for .94! About .09 per package!

There is a national Catalina deal running on McCormick herbs, spices, extracts, food coloring, black pepper, garlic and onion. Buy two and get a $1.50 Catalina; buy 3 or more and get a $2.50 Catalina (through 4/10.)

There is a $1 coupon in the 3/13. Prices vary, but I spotted some McCormick around the $1.99 price point at Jewel. If you have 3 coupons, buy three, pay $2.47 and get $2.50 back. .47 for 3 is about .16 each!

NOTE that NOT ALL McCormick items are included. Many readers have reported issues with some products not working, namely the carded recipe spices and the grill packets. Stick to the red-lid jars.

Reader Housemouse spotted a deal on Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles Treats bars! (They’re like Rice Krispie Treats, but of course made with Cocoa Krispies or Fruity Pebbles.) The treats are on sale for $1.79 a box. Use the $1 coupon from 3/13 SS and pay .79! If you like these, inside the cover of the box (at least for the Fruity, anyway) we found another .55 coupon.

The Pebbles bars are also part of the “Buy 10 or 15, get Labels for Education” if you’re going for that deal.

Here’s a deal on Kellogg’s Cereals. They are on sale for $2.99 a box (not the best price, especially since they were $2.50 last week!) However, if you buy 3, you’ll get a Catalina for a free gallon of milk on your next shopping trip, so that sweetens the deal somewhat.

Included cereals are:

Apple Jacks
Cocoa Krispies
Corn Flakes
Froot Loops
Frosted Flakes
Honey Smacks
Mini-Wheats
Pops
Raisin Bran
Rice Krispies

There are quite a few Kellogg’s coupons out for the deal…

– $1 off Frosted Flakes low sugar (if included) – printable
– $1 off Mini-Wheats with fruit (if included) – printable
– $1 off 2 Kellogg’s Corn Flakes – printable
– $1 off 2 Kellogg’s All Bran, Crispix or Corn Flakes cereals – printable
– $1 off 2 Kellogg’s cereals (ANY) – 3/6 RP
– $1 off 3 selected Kellogg’s cereals – printable

Here’s where the deal gets even more fun. Many readers are reporting finding “peelie” coupons on the cereal boxes for produce discounts — $1.00 off fresh fruit when you buy 2 boxes, or 1 pound of bananas free for buying cereal. Others have reported seeing tearpads for $1.50 off fresh fruit when you buy 2 boxes. Any of these will make an already-good deal even better!

“Buy 10, Save $5” Instant-Savings Sale Buying any 10 items shown on the back page of the weekly Jewel ad will generate $5 in instant savings. You MUST buy in quantities of 10 to receive the prices shown. Prices listed are AFTER the “Save $5” price.

Some readers are reporting $1.50 ecoupons, which would knock these to .49. Hebrew National Beef Franks 11-12oz. – $2.49 – $1 off – ConAgra “Rediscover Family” coupon book (home mailer) Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage Rope or Links 14-16oz. – $2.99 Jell-O pudding or gelatin 6-packs – $1.99 Jell-O Temptations 3-packs – $1.99 – $1 off – printable Juicy Juice 64oz. – $1.99 – $1 off 2 – printable Kraft Cheese Singles, Shredded or Chunk Cheese – $1.99 – $1 off 2 shredded – 3/13 SS, printable – $1 off 2 Singles – 2/13 SS Kraft Deluxe or Velveeta Shells and Cheese 9.4-14oz. – $1.49 Kraft Mayo or Miracle Whip – $1.99 Kraft Salad Dressing 14-16oz. – $1.49 Marie Callender’s Homestyle Creations – $1.99 Nabisco Fig Newtons – $2.79 Nabisco Snack Crackers (Triscuit, Wheat Thins, etc.) – $1.99 – $1 off 2 – 1/30 SS (expires 3/31!), Game Day Playbook (in-store coupon book with Guy Fieri on cover) Oreo cookies 9.6-18oz. – $1.99 – Look for $1 off 2 Oreos when you buy milk tearpad on Oreo display Pillsbury Brownies (Chocolate Fudge or Milk Chocolate) – .49 Powerade or Powerade Zero – .50 Reddi-Wip 6.5-7oz. – $1.99 – $1 off 2 – ConAgra “Rediscover Family” coupon book (home mailer) Starbucks Coffee 10-12oz. – $6.99

Best bets here?

Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers – If you have them on Avenu with a high-enough discount, they could be free.

Danimals Crush Cups and Dannon Light and Fit – just .49 per multipack after coupon – a steal!

“No Coupon Needed” Deals

9-count packs of Clorox Wipes are .25 each (through May 1!) It is currently cheaper to buy multiple small packs of Clorox Wipes like this than to buy a canister of them. (Really – the 35ct. canister is $2.50 this week, but buying 4 9-packs will give you 36 wipes for $1! If you’ve taken my Super-Couponing workshop, remember what I have said about those small sizes..!

Cans of Campbell’s Spaghetti-Os are .50 each. They’re also part of the “Buy 10 or 15, get Labels for Education” if you’re going for that deal.

Jewel 16oz. margarine quarters are .99.

Jewel Applesauce (23-25oz.) is $1.50 a jar.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

INSERT COUPON EXPIRES 3/31! The FREE pasta deal that just won’t quit! Ronzoni Garden Delight is on sale for $1 again, and if you think you already used your $1 coupons for this the last time it was on sale, check again… because there was a NEW $1 off Ronzoni Garden Delight coupon in the 1/23 SS! It’s FREE!

And, if you don’t have a lot of pasta in your stockpile, clip both of the other $1-off-2 Ronzoni coupons on the same page — Ronzoni Smart Taste and Ronzoni Healthy Harvest are also all on sale for $1 a box. You can stock up on even more with these coupons for .50/box.

A reader found more $1-off-2 printables too! Click “Promotions and Coupons” after printing the first coupon you see for even more $1-off-2s.

$1 sale price runs through 4/6/11.

Jewel-Osco information:

Jewel-Osco has a Facebook page. If you have questions directly for corporate, you can ask them there.

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:

It’s a Spring Thing – coupons and details of Spring Thing online contest

Jewel meat deals:

• Chicken drumsticks, thighs or leg quarters are .99/lb.
• Perdue oven stuffer roaster chickens are .99/lb.
• Jewel whole fryer chickens are .99/lb.
• Perdue chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.69/lb. (or, just buy the WHOLE CHICKEN at .99/lb…!
• Always a deal: Jewel-Osco has 1lb. chub packs of Carolina Ground Turkey in the freezer case for around $1.69, every day, at most locations.

Jewel seafood deals:

• Fresh whole catfish are $2.99/lb.
• Fisher Boy breaded seafood (18-24oz. fish tenders and sticks) are on sale for $3.99. Use this .75 printable and pay $3.24!

Jewel produce deals:

• 3lb. bags of yellow onions are $1 – that’s about .33/lb. – GREAT price!
• 5lb. bags of Farm Stand Idaho potatoes are $2.49 – that’s about .50/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Heritage oranges are $1.99 – that’s about .66/lb.
• Sweet onions are .99/lb.
• Zucchini or yellow squash are $1/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Gala, Granny Smith or Red Delicious apples are $3.49 – that’s about $1.16/lb.
• Bartlett pears are $1.49/lb.
• 1lb. bags of Farm Stand baby-cut carrots are $1.49 each (.99 each if you work them into the “Buy 10, Save $5”

(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. 24-Mar. 30 flyer – “4 Day Sale” on cover:

• Kingsford charcoal (6.3-8.3lb.) is on sale for $3.99, limit 1, with Super Coupon. The only manufacturer coupon currently available is in the 3/13 SS — it’s $3.50 off pork when you buy Kingsford and Kings Hawaiian rolls. With the cheaper pork chops this week, it could work together well if you also want the rolls.
   
• 16oz. packages of Lucerne butter are $2.49, limit 2, with Super Coupon.
   

In the Mar. 27-Mar. 30 flyer – “4 Day Deals” on cover:

• Ritz crackers are $1.99 a box, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Buy two and use the $1 off 2 coupon from 1/30 SS (expires 3/31!) or the coupon from the Game Day Playbook (in-store coupon book with Guy Fieri on cover.) You’ll pay $1.49 per box.
   
• Nutri-Grain bars are $1.99 a box, limit 4, with Super Coupon. Use the .75-off-2 coupon from 3/6 RP. You’ll pay $3.23 for two boxes, or $1.62 per box.
   
• Lucerne String Cheese (12oz.) is $2.49, limit 2, with Super Coupon.
   
• Aqua Star 2lb. large breaded butterfly shrimp is $7.99, limit 2, with Super Coupon. This works out to about $4/lb., a good price for shrimp.

• Dairy Glen 4-qt (big bucket!) ice cream is $3.99, limit 3, with Super Coupon.
   
• Wish-Bone salad dressing (16oz.) is .99, limit 3, with Super Coupon. Use this .75 printable and pay .24!
   

Through Monday Only:

Jennie-O 20oz. Lean Ground Turkey is on sale Buy One, Get One Free. It is the ridiculous price of $6.29 per package. However, many readers have written that they have this product on their Just For U electronic coupons around $3.49 per package. If you do, that works out to a much better $1.75 for the 20-oz. package, or $1.40/lb.!

Doritos (11-13oz.) are $1.67 per bag.

Jumbo cantaloupe are $1.50 each.

Comet Cleanser is $1 a can. Use the .35 coupon from 1/23 SS (expires 3/31!) and pay .65!

Yoplait Splitz Yogurt is on sale for $1.99 for the 4-pack. Use the .50 coupon from 2/13 GM and pay $1.49!

New Just For U ecoupons on Dominicks.com worth checking out: Tide detergent (50oz. liquid or 57oz. powder) is $5.77, limit 2, with Just For U ecoupon. Use the $1 coupon in the 2011 P&G Everyday Savings book and pay $4.77… (I know there are some Tide lovers on the blog… we like to see it cheaper than this, as it was during the Tide-and-shorts deal at Target recently..!)

As an aside, P&G announced last weekend that they will be raising the prices on all of their detergents 4.5% in June, so you may want to stock up when you see good/better detergent deals come along before then.

Dominick’s is running a “Buy 4, Save $4” sale on Hillshire Farms, Sara Lee, and Ball Park products. There aren’t too many standouts here deal-wise, other than the Ball Park Meat Franks. They’re $1.99 per pack. Use the .75-off-2 coupon from 3/27 RP and they work out to $1.62 per pack. (Remember that you must buy 4 items to receive the prices shown in the ad!)

Dominick’s is running a frozen food sale again – $5 off ANY* $15 Frozen Food Purchase with the coupon in this week’s Dominick’s flyer! This sale has been running off and on throughout March, and it’s nice to see it back. (With back-to-back Indiana classes this weekend, I was not able to get to Dominick’s to price-gather on new deal ideas, so I am reposting a couple of matchups from previous sales. Please feel free to post any new scenarios that you come up with…) Buy $15 worth of ANY* FROZEN ITEMS, Save $5 Note that this is a COUPON instant-savings deal — you will need the $5-off-$15 frozen coupon from the current 3/24 Dominick’s ad. MEAL DEAL IDEA! If you have the Dominick’s $42 frozen food coupon book, take a look at the first coupon right inside the cover. It’s offering a $9.99 Meal Deal that includes: 1 Safeway Select Appetizer (8oz.) 1 Safeway Select Skillet Meal (24oz.) or Family Size Lasagna (32-38oz.) 1 Safeway Select Dessert (9-14.8oz.) If you do this deal, you’re already very close to the $10 mark. Throw in just over $5 of ANY other frozen foods, use the $5 off $15 Frozen Food coupon and pay around $10. This is a good price for the deal, as the lasagnas alone usually sell for $7.99-$8.99. The lasagna also is going to give you the most ounces of food for your bucks. Wanchai Ferry frozen meal kits are $7.99 each. Buy two ($15.98.) Use two $1.50 Wanchai coupons from the 3/6 SS or printables (there are $1 coupons in the new $42 Dominick’s Frozen coupon book too) plus the $5 frozen coupon. Pay $7.98 for TWO meals, or $3.99 each – pretty good price for Wanchai. Safeway frozen juice concentrates are $1.69 each. Buy 9 ($15.21.) After $5 coupon, pay $10.21, or $1.13 each. El Monterrey Burritos are on sale for $1 each – good fillers if you find yourself at $14 and need something cheap. Watch your packaging though — reader CouponSavings writes, “Some genius started opening El Monterrey burritos” to read a game code inside the package… “so look before putting in the cart.”

Use the two $1 coupons in the 2011 P&G Everyday Savings book, plus a .35 coupon from the 2/27 PG insert (expires 3/31!) You’ll pay $15.62 for three and get $3 back, which works out to about $4.21 a bottle. Not super-cheap, but not bad either.

Reader Outlander spotted a good deal on Tide Stain Release too — the big 50-ounce powdered size. It’s usually priced over $10, but it’s on clearance for $6.17. Use the $3 coupon from 2/27 PG and pay $3.17 for a LOT of Stain Release…

________________________________________

Clearly, doubling up on the Clorox-Catalina products AND the instant is going to be your best bet though. Here’s one idea for super-cheap or free toilet bowl cleaner:, posted by reader Lynn Simmons:

Buy 8 Clorox Toilet Bowl cleaners ($1.88 each, $15.04 total)
Receive $5 in instant savings (now $10.04)
Use as many toilet bowl cleaner coupons as you have.
With two .75 printables and one $1-off-2, pay $7.54 and get a $5 Catalina back — 8 bottles for $2.54 is .32 each!

With two .75 printables and three $1-off-2 coupons, pay $5.54 and get a $5 Catalina back – .54 for 8 bottles is about .07 per bottle!

If you have access to four (!) computers, with eight .75 printables, pay $4.04 and get a $5 Catalina back – ALL free and a moneymaker!

________________________________________

Outlaner posted a bleach, bathroom cleaner and toilet bowl cleaner scenario:

Buy 1 Clorox Bleach ($1.88)
Buy 4 Tilex Fresh Shower Sprays ($2.67 each)
Buy 2 Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaners ($1.88 each, now $16.32 for all)
Receive $5 in instant savings (now $11.32.)

Use .25 Clorox bleach coupon, use four $1 printable coupons for Tilex, and use 2 .75 printables for Clorox Toilet Bowl.

Pay $5.57 and get a $5 Catalina back! Seven cleaners for .57 (total! That’s about .08 each!)

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

Capri-Sun 10-packs are $1.77 each.

Starkist Chunk Light Tuna is .50 a can (5oz.)

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:

• Fresh whole chickens are .85/lb.
• Pork shoulder bone-in country style ribs are $1.59/lb.

Meijer seafood deals:

• Fresh wild-caught ocean perch fillets are $3.99/lb.

Meijer produce deals:

• Red, Golden Delicious or Braeburn apples are .87/lb. ($1.29/lb. for organic Golden Delicious, Gala or Granny Smith.)
• 2lb. bags of lemons or limes are $2 – that’s $1/lb.
• Northwest Anjou, Red or Bosc pears are $1.28/lb.
• Green or white asparagus are $1.99/lb.
• Large cantaloupe are $1.50 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.

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.
   
• 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.
   

I would print a copy and carry a copy of the coupon policy with you if you anticipate any issues.

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.)
