If you’re new to my blog, take a quick minute to read Using this site and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon terminology and abbreviations.
A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on some Chicagoland stores, the Kroger, Target, Walgreens and CVS deals apply nationally. And, if you’re shopping at a SuperValu or Safeway store you may find similar sales to our Jewel-Osco and Dominick’s deals. Welcome, and enjoy!
and the drugstore/general merchandise store deals run through Saturday.
“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, it’s best to subscribe to the paper that contains the highest-value coupons.)
They are now offering discount subscription codes for MULTIPLE newspapers to the same address! (Link opens in new window.)
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Hilander (Schnucks) | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
Grocery Deals
Starting at Jewel-Osco… View weekly ad | Load SavingStar ecoupons | Load Jewel-Osco ecoupons
IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: All Jewel locations have updated their cash registers to a new system. If you are using TWO coupons on a Buy One, Get One Free sale, the register is currently scanning the second coupon as $0.00. The register will not beep and you will have no way of knowing your coupon’s value did not get recognized unless you are watching closely. Jewel is working on a solution to this problem and I have a response from corporate here indicating that their two-coupons-on-a-B1G1F policy has NOT changed. Watch your registers.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: Jewel-Osco has discontinued its Avenu ecoupons as of 6/18/12. The ecoupons you can currently use with Jewel-Osco now are via SavingStar and Jewel-Osco’s new ecoupons. Note that the ecoupons you can load to card are often the same as the ones you can print at Coupons.com. If you print them, you get two prints, but if you load them, you only get ONE. Just an FYI.
LAST IMPORTANT JEWEL-OSCO NOTE: Jewel-Osco has gone to a one-page paper ad in the newspaper some weeks in some market areas, but the full Sunday ad is available online at www.jewelosco.com. This ad is valid at ALL stores, even if you did not receive the full ad in your local paper.
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!
Let’s go to Dominick’s… View weekly ad | Load Dominick’s Just For U ecoupons and Deal Match offers
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, 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.
Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, St. Charles, and the Indianapolis area:
View weekly ad | Load Meijer Mperks ecoupons
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.
Heading over to Kroger… View weekly ad | Load Kroger ecoupons | Load SavingStar ecoupons | Load Cellfire ecoupons | Load ShortCuts ecoupons | Load PGEsaver.com ecoupons
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
Here are your Hilander deals (also running at Logli and Schnucks)… View weekly ad | Load “Schnupons” ecoupons
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. The current ad is good through Tuesday, September 18.
Off to Target…
View weekly ad | Print store coupons from Target.com …
Target Notes:
You get .05 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use. If you pay with the Target credit or debit card, you receive another 5% off.
Drugstore Deals
Heading to Walgreens (View weekly ad | On Fridays, preview next week’s ad)…
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE WALGREENS AD: Walgreens is no longer putting its entire ad in the paper newspaper version. There are online-only ad pages that you can look at via this link: View weekly ad
And finally, over at CVS (View weekly ad) | Load SavingStar ecoupons
CVS Tips: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the Coupon Center scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you! You may want to scan your coupon more than once – it’s been printing different coupons on subsequent scans!
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.
Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Hilander (Schnucks) | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Free |

Jewel-Osco | Dominick’s (Safeway) | Meijer | Kroger | Hilander (Schnucks) | Target | Walgreens | CVS | Walmart | Free |
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 filled with many coupons each month. 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.)

I am a little late at posting I know but maybe someone will run out for Breyers ;-) there is a 75¢ facebook coupon if you “like” them, it is easy to find, just go to Breyers facebook and you will see coupon posted on their BLASTS. We picked up 2 today for $1.13 each. I saw that posted on MashupMom.
dina.blackmore says
I received an alert at Dominicks for a coffee-mate liquid cat. If its at Meijer too it will “sweeten” the deal. buy 2 get $1, buy 3 get $2, buy 4 or more get $4. It runs till 9/30/12. I will be stocking up!!
stretchingabuck says
There are no Betty Crocker Potatoes on my Jewel Deal Match. There’s Betty Crocker cookie mix and a 2nd one for SuperMoist cake mix, but no boxed potatoes. :(
soapboxtray says
I am not sure if all Meijer Mperks are the same, but I have a $3. off 3 for the Super V and 100% Juice. That would make for some super cheap super v :-) (couldn’t resist)
dkmulder says
What are these and where do you find them in the store?
coop says
Too early for math…..
1 – Cleanser 5.89 (free with strips)
2 – Strips 5.99 – $1.50 = 4.49
3 – Strips 5.99
Is the deal for one cleanser and one strip? It would then be a money maker. With all three products isn’t the out of pocket $10.48 (less $5 gift card) or $5.48? Still good but not free/moneymaker…..
choppette says
I thought that the Kraft catalina ended on the 15th. It is listed under the Kroger matchups. Is it still going on?
HappyMom88 says
However, there is a $1/2 in 9/16 RP if I recalled the date correctly.
HappyMom88 says
Powerade:
I found a price of $.79 each (limit 8) on JFU, & Save $.75 off of three…making three $.54 each.
Artisan or Nancy Martin bread: $.99 – 30% off any buns or bread purchase = about $.69 each (unlimited)
Thomas English Muffins: $2.79 – 30% = 1.95
Lucerne butter was $2.49 ea (limit 4), plus
10% off any butter or margarine spread purchase (limit 1) = about $2.25 for one
eztupp says
Sirloin steak is on sale for $3.99/lb. i had a $5 off $20 ranchers reserve on J4U. so i got about5 lbs for $3/lb
eztupp says
the target printable mfg coupon i found is for $1/ Buitoni frozen all natural pasta. will this work on the meijer deal?
Coupon Mom says
I used this B1G1 free coupon: https://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=xhcgemw74569445&bt=vg&o=99365&c=OO&p=JdKLworg
brought each juice down to $.50 ea.
DealJunkie says
I did the Glade deal today and got 2 $1 RRs instead of just one. Having used the $2 coupon means I got paid $1 for each Glade I bought.
DealJunkie says
Is there a limit to how many times I can earn the bonus points? For example, if I purchase 3 12 packs of Coke I get 5000 points. Can I do this in multiple transactions and get 5000 points/transaction?
dion0513 says
Hi Jill, I thought I was losing my mind :) When I try to print the entire list from either week 9/10 or 9/17 it shows the September 3rd blog. I tried it on three computers and I get the same result. Any ideas???
theresa1740 says
At the Algonquin Meijer they would NOT take the 20% off lean cuisine coupon from Target. Said they do not take % store coupons from competitors, but did take the B4 G1 Target. All of the Meijer stores seem to be different in their policy on competitor store coupons.
samminas says
I went to Walgreens today and discovered that the balance rewards are 1000 for two gain detergents. At a cost of $4.99 each, and using two $1 or one $2 coupon on two, the cost per bottle of Gain is $3.49. Thats 4.99 x 2 = $9.98 – $2 mq – $1 (balance rewards) = $6.98 for both or $3.49 each. Still a great price!
susieqs2 says
Walgreen’s has the Men’s pro-glide razors on sale for $9.99 and when you buy 2 of them you get $10 back in Register Rewards. I bought 2 pro-glide razors and 2 Mach3 razors, used 2 – $4 coupons(8/12RP) off the pro-glide and 2 buy the Gillette System Razor or Gillette Disposable, get a FREE Mach3 Razor(8/26PG).
I was wondering if we could also use the “$5 off a Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor when you buy a Gillette Series System Razor or Disposable Razor”(8/26PG) in the scenario above instead of the $4 coupon?
Also for the Kleenex deal you had posted in last week deals is still working, I just did it today!
