This week, I tried something new with Deals of the Week! Instead of doing one, once-a-week roundup of the best supermarket and drugstore deals in Chicagoland, I broke every store out onto its own pages. And, if you’re a once-a-week, Monday-only reader, you might want to pop in more often now, as I began posting the Jewel, Dominick’s, Meijer, Schnucks, and Kroger ads as they were written, versus holding them all until the weekend.
What does this mean for you? If you like to shop earlier, you’ve got more time to plan! If you prefer to wait until the Sunday ads and coupons are out, you can continue to do the same thing as you’ve always done. I will update each stores’ midweek deals writeups when the new coupons and ads come out on the weekend. And, I’ll bump all of the stores back up to the top of the blog’s homepage for the weekend so they’re easy to find!
If you want quick links to each store throughout the week, just look to the right side of the screen under “Deals of the Week,” and you’ll find the store breakouts right there! Old deals writeups will be found under the “Deals of the Week archive” link at right, as always.
Hope you like the changes! It’s not a big change, but it will give you more flexibility with regards to planning and shopping. And, the pop-up shopping list will still keep track of all of your lists and items as you browse around the blog, sorting them by store, until you’re ready to print them. Enjoy!

Jill – WONDERFUL idea, especially for a firefighter that couldn’t always make it to Schnuck’s before the ad ran out due to my schedule!

This is great.
marisol says
I love this new way also, since I most of the times do shop before you have them up on Sundays or Mondays… except for Walgreens and CVS where I go later like Tuesdays.. So this does help me a lot!!! Thank you very much.
Also I was wondering if there isn’t any “deals” for Target, or did I miss that somewhere.
Thanks

Thank you for posting this way – sometimes I have had to shop before your deals were up, and I do so much better when I have your help. I love this new way to post. Thank you!

I do not see and was wondering if you could find a place to add the section you usually have about how many inserts are in the paper and like if there is any special things (ex. coupon on pg. 3 of Parade – or whatever).
Thanks a lot!
