Deals of the Week for October 10, 2011

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats (8ct.) – $1.88

Obviously, the cereals are the best thing here, dropping to $1.38 each post-coupon. If you buy the Raisin Bran or Rice Krispies, don’t forget about the “Buy 10, get $10” mail-in rebate from Kellogg’s — you can send it in FIVE times per address. After rebate, that’s .38 cereal!

Jewel is running a “Spend $15, Get $5” Catalina on Dove products (the hair and body kind, not the chocolate kind.) You must buy $15 worth of selected Dove products to receive the Catalina. While the ad states “Minimum purchase requirement calculated after manufacturer coupons redeemed,” these sales typically do work on your pre-coupon total at the register. However, if you choose to do the deal in that way, you do take the risk upon yourself in the event that it does not print. Make sure your calculations are correct!

Caress Bar Soap (6ct.) – $6.79

Dove Body Wash, Bar Soap (18-24oz., 6ct.) – $6.79
– $1 off body wash – 10/2 RP

Dove Shampoo, Conditioner, or Stylers (4-12oz.) – $3.89
– B1G1F – 10/2 RP
– .75 off any Dove haircare – 10/2 RP, printable

The easiest deal here is on the shampoo if you’ve got multiple 10/2 inserts. Buy four shampoo, conditioner or stylers ($15.56.) Use two .75 coupons on the first two bottles, and use two B1G1F coupons on the second.

After all coupons, pay $6.28 and get a $5 Catalina! $1.28 for four is .32 each!

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Last Sunday’s paper had a new $100 Jewel-Osco coupon book inside! These coupons are good through 10/15. Best bets? In the order that they appear in the book…

Tyson Breaded Chicken (20.5-29oz.) is on sale for $5.99 a bag — not a good price. But use the $2 store coupon from the Jewel book and stack it with the $1 manufacturer coupon from the 8/21 SS insert. You’ll pay $2.99, a nice price!

Jack O Lantern Pumpkins are $4.99 at Jewel, but just $2.99 after the $2 coupon from the book. This is cheaper than I’ve seen them at local pumpkin patches around here… of course, you’re not picking them at the patch though.

Hard shell squash is .99/lb. There’s a coupon in this week’s Jewel-Osco coupon booklet for Buy 2 pounds, get the 1st pound free! That’s TWO pounds for .99, or about .50/lb.

Bar-S Corn Dogs (3lbs.) are $5.99 a box. Use the coupon from the JO coupon booklet and get $2 off. You’ll pay $3.99!

Palermo’s Primo Thin Crust Pizzas (14.55-19.1oz.) are on sale for $5 each. The store coupon from the JO book is a $2-off-2. So, buy two and stack that with this $1-off-2 printable. You’ll pay $7 for two, or $3.50 each.

Krunchers Potato Chips (9oz.) are on sale for $2.50 per bag. The store coupon in the J) book is a $1-off-2, knocking these to $4 for two, or $2 per bag. There’s also a $1-off-2 manufacturer coupon in the 9/11 SS1. With this manufacturer coupon, pay $3 for 2 bags, or $1.50 each.

Starbucks Frappuccino or Double Shots (4-packs, 6.5-9.5oz. bottles) are on sale for $5 each. Use the $2-off-2 store coupon from the JO booklet and stack it with the $2-off-2 coupon from the 10/2 PEPSI. You’ll pay $6 for two, or $3 per 4-pack.

Windex Glass Cleaner (26oz.) is $2.69. Use the .70 store coupon from the JO book and stack it with the $1 off Multi-Surface Windex from the 9/25 SS. You’ll pay .99! There’s also a .50 coupon in the September All You for $1.49 Windex.

“Spend $20, Save $5” Catalina Sale! Buying $20 worth of the items featured in the ad will generate a $5 Catalina! The ad states that you may receive TWO $5 Catalinas per transaction, so you could buy $40 and get $10 back. (The deals don’t always work this way, so enjoy!) While the ad states “Minimum purchase requirement calculated after manufacturer coupons redeemed,” these sales typically do work on your pre-coupon total at the register. However, if you choose to do the deal in that way, you do take the risk upon yourself in the event that it does not print. Make sure your calculations are correct!

DEAL IDEAS:

An all-Charmin deal:

Buy 3 Charmin 12 + 4 packs ($20.97)
Use three .25 Charmin coupons ($20.22)
Pay $20.22 and get a $5 Catalina! $15.22 for three multipacks is about $5.07 each. That works out to .32 per double roll, a good price. (Good rule of thumb: Single rolls of TP = .25 or less. Double rolls of TP: .50 or less, and so on…)

________________________________

An all-Febreze deal:

Buy 3 Febreze Air Effects and 4 Febreze Set and Refresh [or 4 Air Effects and 3 Set and Refresh – but get 7 total] ($20.93)
Use a combination of $1 and $2-off-2 coupons, but make sure that you do not exceed four like coupons, per P&Gs terms on these.
With 7 $1 discounts, pay $13.93 and get a $5 Catalina. $8.93 for 7 is about $1.28 each.

________________________________

A Pantene deal:
Buy 6 Pantene ($21)
There are both $3-off-2 and $1-off-2 coupons available.
With three $3-off-2 coupons, pay $12 and get a $5 Catalina. $7 for 6 is about $1.17 each.
One-insert plan: With a $1-off-2 and a $3-off-2, pay $17 and get a $5 Catalina. $12 for 6 is $2 each.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals:

Gallon jugs of Tampico punch are .99

Streit’s Matzo Ball mixes (4.5oz.) are .79

Jewel-Osco information:

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list? Jewel regularly 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:

• Perdue whole fryer chickens are $1.59/lb.
• Perdue cut up fryer chickens are $1.79/lb.
• Jennie-O bone-in turkey breast (frozen) is $1.99/lb.

Jewel seafood deals:

• 32oz. packages of Ocean Market Tilapia or Breaded Tilapia fillets are $7.99 – that’s $4/lb.
• 4oz. single portions of salmon, tilapia, and other varieties of fish are $1 each – that’s $4/lb.

Jewel produce deals:

• Hard shell squash is .99/lb. There’s a coupon in last week’s Jewel-Osco coupon booklet for Buy 2 pounds, get the 1st pound free! That’s TWO pounds for .99, or about .50/lb.
• 3lb. bags of Yukon Gold potatoes are $3.49 – that’s about .70/lb.
• Jalapeno peppers are .99/lb.
• Red seedless grapes are $1.29/lb.
• Sweet or red onions are $1.29/lb.
• Bosc pears are $1.49/lb.
• Yellow squash or zucchini are $1.49/lb.
• 1lb. bags of Farm Stand baby-cut carrots are $1.49
• Cucumbers are .79 each
• Whole pineapples are $2.99

(Anytime meat is under $2 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry) it’s a buy in my book, because $2 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.)

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.

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… View weekly ad

Hilander shoppers are reminded to stop in and get a free Schnucks Customer Card to replace the Hilander Plus card. They are offering a .10/gallon fuel bonus for registering for the new card by October 18th, and an additional .05/gallon savings if you register your card with an email address.

The Rockford-area Logli stores also 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 Scnhucks ad cycle is a WEDNESDAY to TUESDAY ad, which means these deals will now end on Tuesdays of the current week. These deals end TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11th.

Schnucks has a FREE turkey deal in its new ad. If you spend $50 on groceries each week for the next 6 weeks, you will earn 6 Turkey Bucks. 6 Turkey Bucks “buys” you a free turkey up to 16 pounds. Gift cards and other “cash-like” transactions do not count toward the $50.

70-110ct. boxes of Kleenex are on sale for $1. Buy three and use the .50 coupon from 10/2 SS. It will double to $1, and you’ll pay $2 for 3 boxes, or about .67 each!

Ore-Ida Easy Fries are on sale for $1 a box. They’re also part of a national Catalina deal:

Buy two and receive a $1 Catalina;
Buy three and receive a $2 Catalina;
Buy four or more and receive a $3 Catalina!

So, buy four at $4 and get a $3 Catalina, making these $1 for four boxes, or .25 each! (I am ASSUMING the national offers that ran at Hilander continue to run under Schnucks’ ownership now. This is a national Ore-Ida Catalina deal.)

Krunchers potato chips (9.62oz.) are on sale for $1.89. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 from 9/11 SS1. You’ll pay $2.78 for two, or $1.39 each!

Drugstore Deals

Heading to Walgreens (View weekly ad)…

Coupon books to look for at Walgreens: Walgreens Infant Care (has a $2 coupon inside for Walgreens brand diapers, which often go on sale. All expire 12/2011.)

Halls Warm-Ups Apple Cider lozenges (20ct.) are on sale for $1. Buy them and get $1 back in Register Rewards, making them FREE!

Tic-Tacs (1oz.) are on sale for .99, limit 6. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 10/2 RP and pay .98 for two, or .49 each.

Carefree Pantiliners (20-22ct.) are .99 each, limit 3, with Wags store coupon. Use the .50 coupon from 8/21 SS and pay .49!

Clorox Toilet Bowl cleaner or Clean-Up spray (24oz., 32oz.) are on sale 2-for-$6. There’s a $2-off-2 coupon in the October Walgreens coupon book (IVC.) Stack it with the $1-off-2 from the 8/21 SS. You’ll pay $3 for two, or $1.50 each.

The Clorox 35ct. wipes are in this deal too, but the pathetically low .25 coupon in the 8/21 SS for the wipes doesn’t make them much of a deal here.

Campbell’s tomato or chicken noodle soup (10.75oz.) is on sale for .69, limit 3, with the store coupon in this week’s Wags ad. Stack that with the .40-off-2 from 10/2 SS or a .40-off-3 printable. You’ll pay $1.67 for three, or about .56 per can.

Halloween’s approaching, so the candy deals are popping up. This one isn’t too bad if you need some for the big day. CVS has a “Spend $10, get $3 in ECBs” sale running on Wrigley and Mars candies.

Here’s a “Spend $15, Get $5” Extra-Care-Bucks deal on cleaning products. This one’s not terribly hot because the coupons available for some of these are for larger-sized items than are in the deal. But for the ones that do, here we go…

Clorox Bleach (96oz.) – $2
– .25 off – 8/21 SS

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (35ct.) – $2.50
– .25 off – 8/21 SS

CVS has a lot of ECB deals going this week. We’ll start with the “Spend $10, Get $3 in ECBs” on John Frieda, Jergens, Curel and Biore.

There are THREE ECB deals running on Garnier Haircare and Skincare this week too. Again nothing is crazy-cheap or free here. These are the kinds of deals I ponder over and wonder if they’re even worth writing about! You be the judge…

The first is a “Spend $10, Get $3 in ECBs” on Garnier shampoos, conditioners and stylers. 4.2-35.4oz. Garnier hair products are $4.99 each. The 9/18 RP, 8/28 RP, and 7/24 RP inserts all have $1 coupons for each.

To do the deal, buy 3 Garnier ($14.97.) Use three $1 coupons. Pay $11.97 and get $3 back in ECBs. That’s $8.97 for three, or $2.99 each.

For the haircolor, Garnier Nutrisse haircolor is on sale for $5.99. Spend $10 and get $3 in ECBs (note that this is a different deal than the one above.) Nutrisse is on sale for $5.99, and there’s a $2 coupon in the 9/25 RP.

With two coupons, buy two Nutrisse ($11.98. Use two $2 coupons (now $7.98.) Pay $7.98 and get $3 back. $4.98 for two is $2.49 each. (Again… we’ve seen Nutrisse a lot cheaper in the past. But if you need it..)

—–

For the skincare, it’s a blanket “Spend $15, Get $5 in ECBs” on Garnier skincare. The ad is showing the Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Corrector, which is $15.99 at my CVS (Lake in the Hills.)For this, there’s a $2 coupon in the 10/9 SS. You’ll pay $13.99 and get $5 back, making this $8.99.

Wrapping things up with Walmart…

Did you see the nice $8-off-2 Cover Girl coupon in the 10/2 PG? You can score some free makeup at Walmart this week with it! Single-color Cover Girl Cheekers blushes and Enhancers eye shadows are $3.99 at most stores. Buy two… and with your coupon, pay NOTHING. They’re FREE!

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.
