Deals of the Week for September 12, 2011

Hello, Super-Couponers! I hope everyone had a good Patriot Day weekend. We spent our weekend camping with the kids, enjoying a family dinner at Ed Debevic’s on Saturday night (one of our kids’ favorite downtown destinations!) and attending a 9/11 memorial event on Sunday to benefit Honor Flight. It was definitely a time for reflection on many levels, and there are so many things that we as a family are thankful for.

This week, I’ve got a great blog giveaway featuring a $250 American Express gift card, courtesy of LG Electronics USA’s Ultimate Jellybean Count! Head over to the link if you’d like to enter.

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 70+ 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, throughout the year, companies issue free coupon books that you can request to be mailed to you — register for them if you’d like, as I’ll reference them in future weeks’ deals.

“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.)

This week’s newspaper (9/11/11) contained a coupon insert booklet with over $100 worth of store coupons for Jewel-Osco. If you missed seeing this on Sunday, pull it out of your newspaper before it hits the recycle bin..!

Here are your best deals this week with the $100 coupon book (going in the order that they appear in the book…)

– 5lb. bags of Value Wise Russet Potatoes are .99 with the $1.50 coupon from the book.

– Tide Laundry Detergent (50oz. liquid, 56oz. powder) is $4.99 with the $3 coupon from the book. Stack this with the .50 Liquid Tide coupon from 8/28 PG and pay $4.49, or go for the much BETTER deal by stacking the $2 Powder Tide coupon from 9/11 SS2. With this, you’ll pay $2.99 for your Tide! (If you’d prefer Gain, which is ridiculously cheap this week, keep reading when you hit the Walgreens deals…)

– 3lb. bags of Apples are $2.49 with the $1 coupon from the book.

– Jack’s Pizzas are 5-for-$10 with the $5 coupon from the book. Stack this with the $1 Jack’s coupon from 9/11 RP and pay $9 for 5, or $1.80 each.

– Old Orchard 100% Apple Juice or Healthy Balance (64oz.) is $1.29 with the .40 coupon from the book.

– Seattle’s Best Coffee (12oz.) is $5.99 with the $2 coupon from the book. Stack this with the $1.50 coupon from 8/14 SS. You’ll pay $4.49. (There are also $1 coupons in the August and September issues of All You, or use a $1 printable.)

– Olay Definity, Pro-X, Regenerist, or Total Effects has a $4 store coupon. There’s a $3 Regenerist moisturizer coupon in the 8/14 RP. Regenerist moisturizer runs around $20-$25 depending on regular price, so this could knock it to $13-$18. The 8/14 RP also has a “Buy Regenerist, get Olay Body Wash free” coupon to use here if you’re buying Olay. Don’t forget that this is the LAST week to take advantage of the “Spend $50, get $20” Olay rebate running on their site.

As the Jewel store coupons are one per transaction, you will need to split these into separate transactions if you plan to buy multiples to take advantage of the rebate. But here’s a possible scenario: Over two transactions, buy a Regenerist moisturizer and an Olay Body Wash. If your store has these priced at $25, you’d pay $18 out of pocket for each transaction ($36) then submit receipts for a $20 rebate. That would drop this to $16, or $8 each – good prices for Regenerist.

– Equaline vitamins are Buy One Get One Free with the coupon from the store ad.

Speed Stick and Lady Speed Stick deodorants are on sale for $2.99, Buy One Get One Free. Buy two and use the Buy One Get One Free coupon from 9/11 SS2. You’ll pay… NOTHING… and get TWO FREE!

Mini Super-Couponing lesson: Why does this work? When you use a B1G1F coupon during a B1G1F sale, you will buy none and get two free. Here’s why… and remember, it’s important to think of your coupons AS cash. If you walk into the store and give them $2.99 in cash, how many deodorants will that pay for? Two — because the store is selling you two for $2.99. Now, look at your B1G1F coupon. What is its value? Up to $3.99. This coupon pays the price of the first deodorant with its value ($2.99) and the second is free with the store’s sale. You WILL pay tax on the pre-coupon price, as always… but after coupon, both items will be free.

It’s important to note too that you do not get coupon overage with a free or B1G1F coupon when the value is “up to $3.99.” Legally, the cashier must enter the price of the first item, which in this case is $2.99. The store’s B1G1F sale makes the second item FREE. If you like learning coupon tips like these, check out my Super-Couponing workshops or DVDs!

Reach Dental Floss (55yard) is on sale for $1. Use the $1 coupon from 4/17 SS and it’s FREE! If you need more floss, there are .50 coupons in the 7/31 SS and 1/9 SS2.

Green Giant Frozen Vegetables (7-10oz., boxed) are on sale for $1. Use an .80-off-4 coupon (printable, printable) and pay $3.20 for four, or .80 each.

Wonderful Pistachios (8oz.) are on sale for $2.99. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from 6/26 SS. You’ll pay $4.98 for two, or $2.49 each!

Essential Everyday Toaster Pastries (6ct.) are $1.69 (regular price at most Jewel locations.) Use the $1 off coupon in the new Jewel Fresh For Fall coupon book and pay .69! Note that these coupons are limit 1 per transaction.

“Buy 10, Save $5” Instant-Savings Sale! Buying any 10 of the items featured in the ad will generate $5 in instant savings PLUS 25 bonus Box Tops for Education!

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:

• Hormel Always Tender pork country style ribs are $1.99/lb. Use this $1 printable and pay even less! (Another printable here…)
• Perdue Chicken Wings are $1.99/lb.
• Perdue Ground Chicken or Turkey Burgers (16oz.) are $3.99, B1G1F – that’s about $2/lb.
• Hormel Always Tender Pork Chops are $2.79/lb. and Hormel Always Tender Pork Spare Ribs are $2.49/lb. Use this $1 printable and pay even less! (Another printable here…)

Jewel seafood deals:

(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.)

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 Grade A chicken drumsticks and thighs are .99/lb.
• Cook’s shank portion ham is $1.49/lb.
• 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.

The back page of the Hilander ad shows 70% off patio furniture and accessories. They’re showing deck furniture, a glider, and a pop-up screen house. I mention the pop-up screen house because we just used ours for the first time camping this past weekend. It was purchased last year on clearance around this time, and it is GREAT! If you’re looking for things like these, this is a great time of year to buy them as summer is ending.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Hilander is running a “Buy 4, Save $4” instant-savings sale on P&G products! Buying 4 will generate $4 in instant savings.

The majority of the coupons you’ll need for this deal are in the 8/28 PG. Not all of these items are super-hot deals this week, but this is your best bet:

Old Spice and Secret Deodorant are .99 each when purchased in quantities of 4 (mix and match with P&G items in ad.) Buy two and use the $1-off-2 from the 8/28 PG. You’ll pay .98 for TWO, or .49 each!

Remember that Hilander doubles coupons up to .55 face value every day! You are only allowed to double two of the SAME coupon per day though — additional coupons will ring at face value. (Split your trips if you’re stocking up!)

Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.

Rachel over at Mashup Mom made an excellent point about this week’s Walgreens flyer too. It seems that fairly often, some shoppers are told that they cannot stack a manufacturer coupon with the store coupons in the monthly IVC coupon books, found on the wire racks near the door at Walgreens. If yours is one of them, you might want to keep the front page of this week’s flyer in your coupon wallet. It clearly shows the $1 monthly IVC coupon being stacked with the $1 coupon from today’s paper to get to the $3 price… how could a store employee argue with that? (And isn’t it nice when the Wags ad does its own matchups for you?)

Gain detergents are involved in some wild double-dip deals this week at Walgreens! You may remember the Catalina that began in August – get $3 back when you buy 3 Gain products, one of which is laundry detergent.

Well, at the time of this writing, instead of one $3 Catalina printing, TWO are printing. This could change at ANY time, so if you’re not a risk-taker, this one might not be for you. Then again, the deals are pretty good, even if the bonus $3 stops at some point. So here we go…

Gain 24-32-load laundry detergents, powder and liquid, are on sale for $5. Gain dish detergents (11oz.) are $1.99.

Easy detergent deal:
Buy one Gain powder detergent and two Gain dish detergents (pre-coupon total: $8.98)
Use the $2 off Gain Powder coupon from the 9/11 SS2. Use two .50 coupons from the 8/14 RP.
After coupons, pay $5.98. Receive $3 Catalina plus $3 BONUS Catalina – that’s $6 back, and it’s ALL FREE!

Easy but not quite-as-good detergent deal:
Buy one Gain liquid detergent and two Gain dish detergents (pre-coupon total: $8.98)
Use the $1 off Gain coupon from the 8/14 RP. Use two .50 coupons from the 8/14 RP.
After coupons, pay $6.98. Receive $3 Catalina plus $3 BONUS Catalina – that’s $6 back, and you’re at .98 for everything!

The Gain laundry detergent is also part of the “Spend $30, Get $10” in Register Rewards deal running at Walgreens this week too. Can you say double-dip? Let’s tackle that next…

After ECB, that’s $6.63 for 7 Finish dishwasher detergents, or .95 each!

OR… work some Jet Dry in too. It’s also a good deal with the .50 printable.

Reader ChiTownTeach’s Airwick Deal

Use four $4 coupons
Pay $3.96 and get $10 back in ECBs! ALL FREE and a moneymaker.

(Yes, the four kits do NOT total $20. I don’t know if this is just a fluke or what.)

To be safe (and still be a great deal) you could do the deal this way:

Buy 4 Air Wick iMotion Freshmatic starter kits ($19.96)
Buy 1 Finish Dishwasher Detergent (now $22.95)
Use four $4 Air Wick coupons and one .75 Finish coupon.
Pay $6.20 and get $10 back in ECBs! STILL ALL FREE and a moneymaker.

“Spend $25, Get $10 in Extra Care Bucks” Sale

Buying $25 or more worth of the following products will generate $10 in ECBs! Here are your products and matchups:

Bounty ExtraSoft Paper Towels (12ct.) – $12.99
– .25 off – 8/28 PG

Charmin Big Rolls (16ct.) – $9.99
– .25 off – 8/28 PG

Duracell Batteries (AA, AA 16ct.; C or D 8ct.; or 9-volt 4ct.) – $9.99

Puffs Plus Lotion tissues (124ct.) – $1.50
– .25 off – 8/28 PG

DEAL IDEAS:

Buy 1 Bounty, 1 Charmin, and 2 Puffs. Use two .25 coupons for Bounty and Charmin. Pay $25.23 and get $10 back in ECBs. That’s $15.23 for everything; you can look at it as $7.62 per paper multipack, plus two “free” Puffs.

Buy 2 Duracell batteries and 4 Puffs. Use two .75 Duracell coupons and one .25 Puffs coupon. Pay $24.23 and get $10 back in ECBs. That’s $14.23 for everything; look at it as $7.16 per battery pack, plus four “free” Puffs.

Lastly, this week’s CVS ad shows 2-ounce Bengay pain reliever on sale for $5.49, and the ad recommends you use the $5 coupon from this week’s 9/11 SS2 to get it for .49.

I’m honestly not sure if this is usage is okay, because the ad shows regular Bengay. But, the coupon is for Bengay Cold Therapy, Bengay Pain Relief + Massage, or Bengay Ultra Strength 4-ounce. If these varieties are on sale for $5.49 too, then you’re good to go (but it’s 2:28am on Monday morning and I wasn’t able to get to the store to check this one out today with all of our weekend plans.) It’s very possible it might be an error if CVS didn’t know what specifications would be on the coupon before it was printed. Walgreens has Bengay Cold Therapy on sale for $6.99, and it would be $1.99 after this coupon.

CVS Tip: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you! This week, several readers have reported getting coupons for FREE cookies or crackers!

Wrapping things up with Walmart…

Gain dish detergent is .97 every day at Walmart. Use the .50 coupon from 8/14 RP and pay .47! (Through 9/30.)

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.

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: If you like coupons, you will probably really enjoy it.
