There’s a new “Spend $25, Get $5” Catalina running on P&G products at Jewel. A few notes on this…

We saw a deal on Pantene last week that involved this Catalina, and the Catalina WAS printing on a pre-coupon total, despite what the ad says. But, if you do the deal against what the ad says, and your Catalina does NOT print, you cannot go back to the store and ask them to make it “right” for you. The risk is on you. Got it? Good…

Another note: SavingStar has a “Spend $20, Get $5” offer running on Charmin, Mr. Clean, and Febreze too. So, any deals involving these items can trigger both offers, netting you $25 worth of stuff for $15.

This offer is limit TWO per transaction, so buying $50 worth will generate two $5 Catalinas. But buying $75 will not generate three.

I am listing the best items in the matchups below, not all of them, as not all of the prices are good/great here. Here are your products and matchups:

It’s time for another round of “Are-they-or-aren’t-they-manufacturer coupons” on Just For U! While Dominick’s maintains that these JFU offers are manufacturer coupons, as we’ve seen pretty much each week, this isn’t always true, and at times manufacturer coupons can be stacked with them too. The only way to find out is to try.

Additionally, while most of these are noted as one-time uses, sometimes they are still available later in the week. So, I will show coupon matchups when available, but we won’t really know if stacking works unless we try. As always, I’m listing only what I feel are the best deals for the current week.

2-liters of 7-Up Ten or A&W Ten are .99 each, limit 1. Drop the price to .24 with the ecoupon at JFU!

2-4ct. Dole Fruit Sqush’ems bowls or fruit cups are $2, limit 6. Use the ecoupon at JFU to drop the price to $1.75.

Now, the Dole Fruit Sqush’ems are also part of a national Catalina: Buy 2 and get a $1 Catalina – Buy 3 or more and get a $1.50 Catalina! If you buy three, you’ll pay $5.25 and get $1.50 back, dropping these to three for $3.75, or $1.25 each.

For bowls or fruit cups, you may also be able to buy two and stack this $1 off 2 printable or the .75-off-2 from the 1/6 SS1. You’ll pay $2.50-$2.75 for two, or $1.25-$1.38 each.

Buying two Mission tortillas will drop the price of each to about $1.35 each. The rice is a better deal – buy two for $1.99, or about $1 each.

Pantry Essentials sandwich slices FREE.” No prices in ad, but Safeway’s online price guide shows the Lucerne cheese priced at $5.49. (I don’t think this is the best deal but I’m leaving it here in case you were wondeirng too, what with no prices in ad. IF you have a better personalized price on JFU, go for it.)

Meijer’s “Buy 10 for $10, Get the 11th FREE” sale. Effectively, this drops the price of each item to about .90 each. Remember that you cannot use a coupon on a FREE item at Meijer, and the 11th item that is scanned by the cashier, whatever item it is, WILL be your free item. If you plan to use coupons on your items, make sure that the 11th item scanned is a NON-coupon item, like produce.

I’m only listing the items that I feel are the best deals for the week.
