– .55 off Diet – 3/18 SS

– .55 off Sierra Mist – 4/22 SS

Fresh Express Salad Blends (4.75-12oz.) are on sale for $2.50. Use the $2 coupon in the monthly Dominick’s food newsletter (found in store) or a printable and pay .50!

THROUGH MONDAY ONLY: Frito Lay Stax potato chips (5.5-5.75oz.) are on sale for $1. Buy two and use this .55 off 2 CommonKindness printable. You’ll pay $1.45 for two, or about .73 each!

Honey Nut Cheerios or Lucky Charms (11.5oz.-12.25oz.) are on sale for $1.88. Use this $1-off-2 printable (another one here, and here) and pay $2.76 for two, or $1.38 each!

Nestle Baking Morsels (10-12oz.) are on sale for $1.99. Go for the dark chocolate variety, buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from the 3/25 SS. You’ll pay $2.98 for two, or $1.49 each!

Here’s a deal on Barilla and Classico pasta sauces and FREE pasta! 15-24oz. jars of Barilla or Classico are on sale for $2 each. When you buy two, you’ll get 2 free boxes of Barilla Pasta!

The 5/6 SS has a coupon for $1 off 2 Classico. With this, pay $3 for 2 jars of Classico and 2 boxes of Barilla pasta.

The 3/18 SS has a coupon for $1 off 2 Barilla pasta AND sauce(expires 5/13!). Because Dominick’s won’t allow you to use a coupon on the free item, you would actually need to buy sauce AND pasta (and then get your free pasta) to use this one. So, the Classico’s really your best bet. And unless you wanted to chase pasta sauce deals on Mother’s Day, the Classico’s your best bet from a time-management standpoint too. :)

Meijer’s running a “Spend $40, get $10” Catalina on Charmin, Bounty, Pampers and Iams. ANY products by these brands are included in the deal, but here are the products and matchups from the ad: Bounty 8 Giant Rolls – $10.49 – .25 off – 4/29 PG Charmin Basic Bath Tissue (24 double rolls) – $10.49 – .25 off – 4/29 PG Iams Dog or Puppy Food (5-7lbs.) – $10.99 – $1 off – 4/29 PG Pampers Super Pack Diapers (68-128ct. boxes) – $24.99 – $1.50 off – printable – $1 off – 4/29 PG Pampers Baby Wipes Refill (420-600ct.) – $11.99 – .75 off – printable The easy deals will be four Bounty, three Charmin Basic, or three Iams: Bounty Deal: Buy 4 Bounty ($41.96). Use four .25 coupons (now $40.96.) Pay $40.96 and get $10 back. That’s $30.96 for 32 giant rolls, which works out to .97 per roll. According to the package, each giant roll is equivalent to about 1 1/4 standard rolls. Charmin Basic Deal: Buy 4 Bounty ($41.96). Use four .25 coupons (now $40.96.) Pay $40.96 and get $10 back. That’s $30.96 for 96 double rolls of bath tissue, which works out to .32 per double roll, a good price. Iams deal: Buy 4 Iams ($43.96). Use four $1 coupons (now $39.96.) Pay $39.96 and get $10 back. That’s $29.96 for four 7lb. bags, or $7.49 each. Now, for the Pampers: Pampers All Wipes Deal: Three $11.99 big packs of wipes puts you at $35.97. I wrestled with using the smaller tubs of wipes ($2.99) as “fillers” to get just up to $40, or just using another $11.99 pack of wipes. You are paying more putting that fourth pack in, but you’re getting a lot more wipes too. So, if you do it that way, you’re at $47.96. Use as many .75 printables as you have (two with access to one computer, four with access to two to print.) With four .75 printables, pay $44.96 and get $10 back. That’s $34.96 for four, or $8.74 per large pack. Pampers Diapers and Wipes Deal: Buying one box and one big refill of wipes puts you at $36.98. For lack of cheap fillers, it may be best to fill in here with $3.02 worth of Bounty. Single rolls are usually around $1 (and for this example, it would be nice if they were a few pennies above $1 too..!) But for argument’s sake, let’s assume they’re $1. Add four rolls of Bounty ($40.98) and four .25 Bounty coupons, plus one $1.50 Pampers coupon and one .75 Wipes coupon. Pay $37.73 and get $10 back. That’s $27.73 for everything. If you would have paid $24.99 for the big box of diapers, this is like paying just $2.74 for the big pack of wipes too, plus all the Bounty.

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

Old Orchard 100$ Juice Blends or 100% Apple Juice (64oz.) are 3-for-$5, or about $1.67 each

Kraft Shredded Cheese, Cubes or Crumbles (5-8oz.) are $1.88

Meijer Premium Orange Juice or Blends (64oz.) are $2

5lb. bags of Domino Granulated Cane Sugar are $2.99. (So are the 4lb. canisters, but who wants to lose a POUND of sugar for the same price?!)

Meijer meat deals:

• Meijer split chicken breasts are $1.19/lb.
• Cook’s or Hormel Cure 81 Spiral Sliced Half Hams are $1.69lb.
• Pork shoulder bone-in country-style ribs are $1.79/lb.

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 typically haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers.

Pay $16.50 and get $10 back. $6.50 for six is about $1.08 each.

“No Coupon Needed” deals:

6-serving boxes of Cap’n Crunch are $1. (But I bet that is a tiny box!)

“Spend $25, Get $10 in ExtraBucks” Sale

Spending $25 on any of the following items will generate $10 in ECBs! Here are your products and matchups:

DEAL IDEAS:

I’m liking the Playtex tampons here. The 16-count boxes are included in the “Spend $25” deal too, even though their price isn’t in the ad. At my CVS, these were $5.29. Buy two $7.99 36-40ct. boxes and two $5.29 16ct. boxes (now $26.56.) Use two B1G1F coupons for the small boxes (now $15.98.) Pay $15.98 and get $10 back in ECBs – that’s $5.98 for four boxes of Playtex, or about $1.50 per box

UPDATE: This deal began last week, and many users reported issues with the Playtex not working. The ad does specify that ANY Playtex, Hawaiian Tropic, etc. products are included. The store should be able to manually generate the ECB for you in the event that it does not print.

————————

This one’s only on in-store signage, but who doesn’t want free toilet paper? CVS is selling single rolls of Cottonelle Toilet Paper inside a Jonathan Adler-designed toilet paper holder. It’s a little round canister with geometric designs/prints on it. The canister AND single roll sell for $1.99, with $1.99 back in Extra Care Bucks, making it FREE! This ECB offer runs through 5/26/12.

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

And, if you haven’t already, make sure your CVS ExtraCare card is registered for the CVS Beauty Club before you do any deals involving beauty products. It gives you $5 in ECBs for every $50 you spend on beauty products, and it is cumulative, meaning you don’t have to spend $50 in one trip. It keeps track for you and will automatically print ECBs on your next visit to the store when you reach a $50 threshold.

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. While the policy doesn’t require this, it does speed the price-matching along.
   
• 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 would print a copy and carry a copy of the coupon policy with you if you anticipate any issues.

I do not blog Walmart deals each week unless there is a weekly ad with noteworthy deals. 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.

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: If you like coupons, you will probably really enjoy it. It’s an inexpensive magazine ($2.49 an issue) that is absolutely filled with coupons each month — typically $50-$100 worth per issue! Subscribing via the pink banner on the right drops the price to $1.67 per issue. 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.)
