Chicago’s CBS news has a story about what to expect:
Health, beauty and candy items went on sale at Dominick’s earlier this week, and those shelves are mostly empty now.
On Friday, almost everything else–from pasta to detergent–will be marked half price.
Here’s what won’t be on sale: Some name brand items like Pepsi, Coke, and Starbucks. Fresh meat and fresh produce, too.
Not all Dominick’s are closing. Four have been sold to Jewel, and you won’t find any sales there.
Eleven stores have been sold to Mariano’s. All eleven will close the end of December, with most to reopen in January or February. Some of those stores will have sales, others will not. That still leaves more than 50 stores offering great bargains, including half price liquor starting next week.
Check your local Dominick’s for exactly when liquor will go on sale. Some stores plan to start offering 30 percent off on Monday. But most seem to be offering 50 percent off on Friday.
I spent some time cutting coupons tonight in anticipation of heading out tomorrow (yes, the “old method” – guessing what might be good deals with 50% off and coupons, and bringing more coupons than I expect to use!)
Are you planning to go to Dominick’s tomorrow in search of bargains?

Will Dominick’s in Frankfort have this sale?

Fox Lake is nearly everything for 50% off. The only exceptions are shelled eggs, organic milk and random nondairy dairy stuff. It’s a crazy mad house. Everyone has two-three cart fulls. And expect an hour wait to checkout. Also the cashier told me today (12/13) is the last day they’re accepting coupons!

to wade through the MADHOUSE and wait IN LINE for AN HOUR to pay, then LOAD and HAUL this massive amount when, if you’re a regular follower of Jill’s, we’re already getting huge discounts pretty regularly?? Especially this time of year when we ALREADY have massive crowds, waits, etc. for our Christmas shopping trips.
IMHO, I’m sure there will be many-a-deal found, but it’s just not worth the trouble for me.

Lake in the Hills was VERY crowded this morning, but there are still quite a few things there as of 15 minutes ago. I was surprised to see plenty of Nabisco crackers considering the price after coupons today.
The registers keep going down so be patient if you go- they were totally down for 45 minutes this morning. On the bright side, I met quite a few blog readers in the store today. :)
Also, the store was out of carts. I’ve never seen that before. People were standing in the parking lot waiting for others to unload their carts so they could take the cart back in. I shared a cart with a friend.
Have patience. :) I’ll post some of my deals soon.
