Deals of the Week for November 7, 2011

Hello, Super-Couponers! November is officially here! Hope you remembered to “Fall Back” and change your clocks yesterday… and gain that extra hour of sleep back too! I needed it after staying out late Saturday night with the women in the photo at right. Every one of them is a local Chicagoland deals blogger, and we met up at a local restaurant to swap stories, deals and enjoy a night out. How late can a bunch of coupon-talking bloggers stay up? Pretty late, as it turns out…

With the shakeup a few weeks ago, in which Rockford-area Hilander (Kroger) stores were bought out by Schnucks, I stopped blogging Kroger in favor of continuing on with Hilander’s (now Schnucks) ad. But over the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing from Kroger shoppers in Bourbonnais, Ottawa, and Streator, Illinois… (as well as the rest of the country!) asking where Kroger went. I am in the process of re-adding the Kroger deals, so bear with me as I get back in the groove of blogging Kroger once again. (We sure have a lot of supermarket chains in northern Illinois.)

This week, I’ve got another great blog giveaway for you! Want to win an Italian dinner for your family that you don’t have to make yourself? Enter to win one of two “Dinner is on Us!” giveaways from Michael Angelo’s!

Want to learn to save with coupons? Attend a Super-Couponing workshop, or order your copy on DVD! Upcoming Super-Couponing live workshops are taking place in Yuma, Arizona, Vernon Hills, Illinois, and Woodstock, Illinois. Or, order your own Super-Couponing DVD and learn in the comfort of your own home… at your own pace!

As always, it’s time for Chicagoland’s Deals of the Week. 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 RedPlum (RP.) You may also have received a single-sheet Walmart ad. If you’re shopping for a baby, save it, as there are three $2 manufacturer coupons for Huggies on the back!

To our NEW blog readers: If you’re interested in learning to save on almost everything you buy at the grocery store, why not attend a live Super-Couponing workshop? Many are FREE, and you’ll learn how to cut your grocery bill 50-70%! You can also learn at home with my Super-Couponing DVD workshops… and in about one hour, you’ll be saving with coupons like a pro!

Current home-delivery subscription deals on the Chicago Tribune: Code X277: 50/week Sunday delivery. Call 800-311-8500 or visit www.chicagotribune.com.

“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-Osco… View weekly ad | Load Jewel Avenu ecoupons | Load SavingStar ecoupons

I got an email this week saying that Jewel missed me! (Really! Have I not been there enough?) In the email was a $5-off-$25 printable coupon…

Duncan Hines Amazing Glaze (10oz.) is on sale for $1.25. Use this $1 printable and pay .25!

UPDATE: Reader Lizgrask posted that the “Freshly Made Holiday” coupon booklets that can be found at Jewel have a coupon for “FREE Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Cake Mix when you buy 2 Amazing Glazes.” If you have the book and are getting those bargain glazes, get a FREE cake mix with this too!

And, of course, the cake mixes are on a “Buy 4, get $1” Catalina sale too, which we’ll get to in a bit… use those FREE cake mixes toward your total of 4 for that Catalina. (There’s a .50 off for more cake mixes in the 11/6 SS1.)

Palermo’s Primo Thin Crust Pizzas are on sale for $5 each. Buy two and use this $1-off-2 printable You’ll pay $9 for two, or $4.50 each.

These are also a Bonus Game Ticket Item this week.

Buddig Original Wafer Lunchmeat (2oz.) is on sale for .67. Buy two and use the .55-off-2 coupon from 8/21 SS. You’ll pay .79 for two, or about .40 each!

Ever cooked with Panko Japanese breadcrumbs? They’re extra-crunchy and great for breading fish or chicken with. They’re also super-cheap this week at Jewel! Kikkoman Panko Crumbs sell for $2.39 at most Jewel locations. They’re also part of a National Catalina deal — buy two and get a .75 Catalina for your next trip.

To do the deal, we’re going to buy four, since we can print two of each coupon involved. You’ll need two Buy One, Get One Free coupons, which you can print from their site or from this link or from their Facebook page.

You’ll also need two $1 coupons for Kikkoman. (DO NOT print the $1 coupon from their Facebook page – that one’s only good in Canada!) You’ll find $1 coupons in the Dominick’s “Make a Muscle” coupon book, or use printables from this link.

Now, let’s put the deal together.

Buy four boxes of Kikkoman Panko Breadcrumbs ($9.56)
Use two $1 coupons on two boxes (now $7.56)
Use two B1G1F coupons on the other two boxes (now $2.78)

Pay $2.78 and get two .75 coupons back. That drops everything to $1.28 for four, or .32 per box! Great price!

There’s also a .75 printable here if either of the others hit their limits.

Here’s a good deal on Hillshire Farms smoked sausage that several readers also spotted over at Mashup Mom!

Hillshire Farms smoked sausages are on sale for $4 each. There’s a $2-off-2 store coupon in the Jewel-Osco coupon book from LAST week’s paper (remember, those coupons are still good this week!) Buy two and stack this with the $1-off-2 coupon from 10/16 RP. You’ll pay $5 for two sausages, or $2.50 each.

But we’re not done… because Hillshire Farms are part of a National Catalina deal too! When you buy two or more, you’ll also get a $2 Catalina. So, you’ll pay $5 and get $2 back, making these $3 for two, or $1.50 each!

Jewel has another large “The More You Shop, The More You Save” Catalina sale going! There is no limit to the number of items you can buy or Catalinas you can receive in one transaction.

Jewel Beef or Chicken broth (14-14.5oz.) – .69 (this is a bonus game ticket item this week too.)

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Jewel launched a huge contest called “Wish Big, Win Big!” They’re giving away over $30,000,000 in prizzes and money-saving offers, including two $250,000 cash prizes, four new cars, 12 dream vacations, 100 iPads, 75 LED flat-screen TVs, and many other items. This giveaway runs through February 1, 2012. Here’s how to play…

You will earn a Game Ticket each time you make a qualifying purchase at Jewel-Osco between October 27th and February 1, 2012. Open the Game Ticket to reveal special coupon offers and four game markers. You’ll place your game markers on the Official Game Board, which you can pick up in the store. You an also earn bonus Game Tickets by purchasing specially-marked items in the store.

Jewel-Osco information:

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? At times, Jewel sends out coupons to match with their current sales, and often they’re store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!

Jewel meat deals:

• Whole fryer chickens are .99/lb. ($1.29/lb. for Perdue)
• Perdue turkey drumsticks, wings or necks are $1.79/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• 3lb. bags of yellow onions are .99 – that’s .33/lb.
• 2lb. bags of whole carrots are .99 – that’s about .50/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Michigan red delicious apples are $1.99 each – that’s .66/lb.
• 16oz. sleeves of celery are .99
• Fresh broccoli or cauliflower is $1.49/lb.
• Fresh green beans are $1.79/lb.

(Anytime meat is under $2 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry) it’s a buy in my book, because $2 per pound is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices. This is also true for most produce. Seafood, by its nature, is more expensive per pound, but a good “buy” benchmark is $4 per pound or less.)

UPDATE: With beef prices (commodities) slated to rise, some reader have emailed to ask if I would also blog the $2.49 or less meat deals. I will now be including meat deals up to $2.49/lb. in weekly writeups.

Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | Load Dominick’s Just For U ecoupons

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, support for 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 is also offering Deal Match, where you can load price-matching offers from Jewel and Target to your Fresh Values Card. Try it at www.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 load some of these Super Coupons to your Fresh Values card via Dominicks.com and not have to clip them. Best bets this week?

In the November 3-November 9 flyer – “Hot Deals Just For U” on cover:

• Kleenex Facial Tissue (50-200ct.) is on sale for .99, limit 2, with Super Coupon.
   

In the November 6-November 9 flyer – “4 Day Sale” on cover:

• Reynolds Wrap or Vanity Fair Napkins (75 sq. ft. foil, 30 sq. ft. parchment, or 80-200ct. napkins) are $2.49 each, limit 5, with Super Coupon. Use the .50 Reynolds coupon from 10/2 SS and pay $1.99! I found $1 Parchment tearpads on the shelf too, which will drop the parchment paper to $1.49! Or use the .55 Vanity Fair coupon from 8/14 RP and pay $1.94! There’s also a $1-off-2 Vanity Fair printable here and another one here.
   
• Safeway frozen vegetables (12-16oz.) are .99 each, limit 4, with Super Coupon.
   
• Lucerne shredded or chunk cheeses (6-8oz.) are $1.99, limit 2, with Super Coupon.
   

There is also a “Great Prices for Thanksgiving” ad that is filled with coupons. They’re good through 11/24! Many of these are general “.50 off” coupons that don’t tell you the actual selling price of the item. But of the ones with prices on them, and the ones I matched to Safeway’s online price guide, these look the best this week:

• Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce (12-14oz.) is $1.69. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from the flyer. Stack it with this $1-off-2 printable. You’ll pay $1.38 for two, or .69 each!
   
• Dole Pinapple (20oz.) is .99 a can, limit 2, with flyer coupon. Dole Tropical Fruit Salad (15.25oz.) is also .99 a can, limit 2, with flyer coupon. Buy two and use the .50 off 2 coupon from 11/6 SS1 or a printable. You’ll pay $1.48 for two, or .74 per can! (It is cheaper per can at Jewel this week if you’re headed there.)
   

MONDAY ONLY DEALS:

DiGiorno Pizzas With Sides are $5 each. Use the $1.25 coupon from 10/16 RP and pay $3.75! These are the Pizza With Wyngz, Pizza & Cookies, or Pizza & Breadsticks kinds, so pick your favorite and enjoy – that’s CHEAP!

Cheetos and Fritos are also 3-for-$5, or $1.67 each.

Dominick’s has a few good “Just For U”-only sales running this week. Head over to www.dominicks.com and load ecoupons for:

– FREE Jennie-O 22lb. turkey – with $150 purchase (OUCH. And good luck.)
– Pantry Essentials Gallon Milk – $1.77 each, limit 2
– Lucerne Half-Gallon Milk – .97 each, limit 2 (Note: Reader lovecoupons4 notes that the Lactose-Free half-gallons work at this price too, which is an especially great deal!)
– Nancy Martin Bread (16oz.) – .59 each, limit 2
– Dunkin Donuts Coffee (10-12oz.) – $4.88, limit 2. Buy two and use the $1.50-off-2 coupon from 10/23 RP. You’ll pay $8.26 for two, or $4.13 each! Pretty good price for coffee, which has been on the rise pricewise…

Mott’s Apple Juice (64oz.) is on sale for $2. Use this $1 printable and pay $1!

Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail (64oz.) is on sale for $2 per bottle. It’s part of an instant savings sale too – buy two Ocean Spray Cranberry, get a FREE 64oz. bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry With a Hint Of Lime. But we’re not done…

Also, print this coupon for Free Ocean Spray® Sparkling with purchase of 2-64 oz Juice Drinks! Then, of course… remember to pick up your Ocean Spray Sparkling too! You’ll pay $4 for everything!

Quaker Instant Oatmeal (11.5-15oz.) is on sale for $3. Buy one and use the $1 coupon from October All You. You’ll pay $2!

Prego Pasta Sauce (23-24oz.) is on sale for $1.69 per jar. Buy three and use the $1-off-3 from 9/11 SS2. You’ll pay $4.07 for three, or about $1.36 per jar.

There’s a “Buy 10, Save $5” deal on Rice a Roni and Pasta Roni this week. The regular prices of these are $1.45 each, so if you buy ten, you’ll pay $9.50, or .95 each. Not super-great in my opinion.

IF you’re buying a turkey this week, there’s a coupon for $3 off Butterball when you buy 4 participating items. One of those items is Stove Top Stuffing, which is on sale for .88 per box this week. You could buy four boxes for $3.52, and get $3 off the turkey — it makes the stuffing .52. But… again… got to buy a turkey.

However, you can do the deal this way – use the Price Match at Dominicks.com and match Target’s .97/lb. price on Butterball this week. You will need to load this discount to your card like an ecoupon.

If you do not wish to buy a turkey this week, Stove Top at .88 a box is still a good buy. It is limit 8.

“Buy 4, Save $4” Instant-Savings Sale Buying any 4 of the following products will generate $4 in instant-savings! Dominick’s has once again thoughtfully left out all of the prices from this week’s ad, so these prices are from Safeway’s online delivery price guide. Verify prices at your local store.

Buy 2, get $3 Catalina; buy 3, get $5 Catalina; buy 4 or more get a $6 Catalina.

With three $1.50 coupons, buy 3 Jumbo packs ($23.47.) Get a $5 Catalina, making these $18.97 for three, or $6.32 each (a better deal than buying 4 at once, believe it or not!)

More baby deals! Beech-Nut Stage 2 baby food jars are .40 each (NOT a good price.) But, with this $1-off-3 printable, you’ll pay .20 for three, or about .07 per jar! (There’s a $2-off-16 coupon here too, though that’s not as good a deal.)

As an aside, a lot of people email asking how to save on baby food. Even with the occasional coupon deal, baby food is some of the most expensive food you will ever buy, ounce per ounce. When my children were babies, I made 95% of their “baby food” with a $10 mini food processor at home… it’s very easy to whip and puree fruits and vegetables right when you need them versus jar feeding. But, when I would hit super-cheap deals like this, I’d buy some jars to have on hand for nights we’d eat out or away from home.

Another baby food tip… when I did buy jarred baby food, I never bough pureed bananas or apples. Fresh bananas are super-easy to mash in a bowl with the back of a spoon. I would buy large jars of natural applesauce with no added sweeteners and feed that instead — again, ounce per ounce, these are two of the cheapest “baby foods” to make at home. I’d save my jar purchases for mixed fruits and berries or other varieties/flavors that weren’t as easy to make. And this has been your “saving on baby food” tip of the day!

Are you a Meijer Mperks member? 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 pork spareribs are $1.99/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.

Here are your Hilander deals (also running at Logli and Schnucks)… View weekly ad

The Rockford-area Logli stores share the same ad as Hilander (Schnucks) now, so these deals apply at the four Rockford-area Logli stores as well. I have had some readers from DeKalb write and ask if these deals will also apply to their store. In looking at both ads, SOME of the deals are the same, but Rockford has been having a Hilander-specific wraparound that isn’t a part of the DeKalb Schnucks ad. Remember too that the DeKalb store does not double coupons.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: The Schnucks ad cycle is a WEDNESDAY to TUESDAY ad, which means these deals run through TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8th.

Duncan Hines Cake Mixes (18.5oz.) are on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 11.6 SS1, which doubles to $1, and pay NOTHING! It’s FREE!

Little cans (really! They’re the cute 4-5-count ones) of Pillsbury Crescents, Cinnamon Rolls or Grands are on sale for $1. Use the .40-off-2 coupons from 11/6 SS, 10/23 SS, 10/2 GM, or a printable, which doubles to .80. You’ll pay $1.20 for two, or .60 each!

For Grands, use the .30-off-2 coupons from 10/23 SS, 10/2 GM, 9/11 GM or a printable, which doubles to .70. You’ll pay $1.30 for two, or .65 each!

Wrapping things up with Walmart…

Ore-Ida Crinkle Cut Fries (28-32oz.) are on sale for $2.86. Use this $1 printable and pay $1.86.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

30-42.7oz. boxes of State Fair Corn Dogs are $6.98.

6oz. boxes of Betty Crocker Homestyle Stuffing are .98

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 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.)
