Edit:  Forgot to mention that these turkey burgers are fantastic to use for white chili!  Dominicks has the 3lb box of frozen Jennie-O turkey burgers for $5 as their Friday deal (add it to your J4U card and get that price for the entire weekend). Use this $1 off coupon and you’ll have burgers for $1.33 a pound!  Since you can print two coupons per computer, print enough to take you through grilling season!  I see marinated turkey tenderloins on clearance all the time, to I’ll be printing that one for sure.

Make money buying Herdez salsa at Dominick’s, then make pozole

So Dominick’s has 7 oz cans of Herdez salsa for $.39 each when you load a JFU price this week (limit 8). Well, it’s foolish to pay for salsa, isn’t it? So here’s what you do. You load yourself that $.39 price. THEN, you use the $1.00/2 from the Corona booklet at Jewel or the $.55/1 printable on Coupons.com (ZIP 10001).

Now, you have yourself money making salsa. The coupons don’t beep. Make sure you have something else in your cart to absorb that overage, though.

And then if you buy the salsa verde, you can use it to make pozole. Isn’t that what you always have for Mother’s Day? It’s what we’re having…

Saw this on CW; tried it and it works!  Check your J4U coupon center for a $1.49 (limit 4) price on Girard’s Salad Dressing, then click here and print out two $2/1 coupons.  Two computers, four free dressings per card. hehehehe  Peeps are reporting overage, so ymmv…

much thanks to Alice9

Dominicks – Woodridge

Here’s a quickie for you:  two transactions to use the $5/$15 in-ad coupon on frozen foods.  The Jennie-O BOGO ground turkey would have been sweet with my “Personalized” deals, however my Just fuck U deal was only on the turkey burgers…luckily the Woodridge Dominicks had a special on Perdue for $1.99/lb.  So you see here the following:  11 packages of Perdue, 16 bags of Ore-Ida hash browns (various types) and a package of tortillas.  Used 8 of the $1/2 Ore-Ida hash browns from the Dominicks frozen booklet and 3 RRs (10, 5, 2) for each transaction.  Ended up $2.35 OOP for each.

Now off to use my RRs on a mani-pedi.

Dominicks and Target try, but will not win

Target update: I returned the clearance Renuzit, got back my 3 $3 coupons, bought 3 of the Crayola kits and walked out with $6.53 in my pocket.  And believe you me I know this is illogical.  Target you are so not preparing my income tax returns…

This is what happens when you shop with other people: you lose focus, end up overpaying and then have to make a return trip to customer service. At Target, I picked up 12 of the Goodlife cat food tray on a .53 clearance; used the $1/1 from 3/06r. Saw the Renuzit crystal refills on an end cap for $3, so threw five in the cart along with 3 clearance double bags reduced to $2.48 (had the $3/1 from 3/13r). Also picked up another pair of clearance jeans for $9.98, using the Target $5 coupon and what I had calculated for overage. Ended up being charged $5.29 on the three clearance Renuzit refills, which is odd because the sticker shows an original price of $4.99. Which means another trip to GET MY MONEY! So, while I paid $9.43, my actual OOP should have been $8.43 (plus tax) less. This was not the only item that we found priced differently than what scanned. Management should have a long heart-to-heart with whoever is going crazy with the clearance gun or the tv cameras are gonna roll once more…

Before I forget, I had read that Target was selling the Crayola Glow Station On the Go sets for $3.24; it’s presently selling on Amazon Crayola Glow Station On the Go Day & Night for $21.45.  Don’t believe me?  Check out the link.  Found that hard to believe, but here’s a Target picture for proof.  If you have any birthday parties coming up, this is a great way to look like a big spender for pennies.

Dominicks update:  Got all my money back on the cereal and yogurt (about $18).  CS scanned the card I used and my son’s name came up (as it should).  Chalk this one up to atmospheric disturbances.

On to Dominicks where I wanted to pick up my Quaker Oats Squares from the $1.49 deal a few weeks ago; had a raincheck for 16.  Broke it down into two transactions of 8 each and four free Dannon Greek yogurts that are on my Just4U card; threw in a bag of bananas for the house monkey.  The total, after the 8 mfr coupons and one $10 RR was $2.02; looking at the receipt at home, it shows that the cashier took off .51 for each cereal.  Since the ring price was $2.71, subtract .51 and you’re paying 2.20.  So now they owe me an additional .71 for each box ($5.68). The yogurt did come off.  So this first order owes me $5.68 plus tax.

Next order I used my son’s card, since I had activated the yogurt on his.  The yogurt did not come off, I was charged $2.20 for the cereal and the kicker?  The name on the receipt shows the card owner is Maria Plut and the number is not mine…  So this transaction they owe me 4.00 for the yogurt and the $5.68 for the cereal, or $9.68 plus tax and probably something extra for calling me Maria Plut.  Maria, if you are reading this, I’m terribly sorry, but why aren’t you activating your coupons?

Four stops in one post

Went to pick up the free Panda Express at their Ogden Avenue, DG store.  Since I was only across the parking lot from Dominicks, figured I’d run in and pick up some more of the Quaker Oats Square.  they had four… So I threw in the free 2L of Coke Zero on my Just 4U account and 18 packs of Trident, since I had nine BOGO coupons and it was a BOGO sale.  Cashier rings up everything fine until she gets to maybe the last couple of gum coupons…register beeps (probably because the sheer volume of coupons) and she looks closely at the coupons.  “Oh, they’re BOGO.”  this is a surprise?  “They’re on sale BOGO.”  cue twilight zone music.  “I can’t sell you them.  You’d have to buy one and then get 3 free.”  no, that’s not how BOGO coupons and BOGO sales work.  Brings over cs (not coupon nazi Mary), who says she’ll call the manager.  Store manager comes over and says he can let me do two transactions since I have two different types of gum and the coupon says only one coupon per purchase… Try to explain how the wording prevents someone from using ten coupons on one item, but realize that I should save my breath to cool my porridge.  Just take off all the gum and hand me back my coupons ’cause you people are majorly screwed up.  Send PITA to cs to get rain check for six cereal which I’ll use at Western Springs or Woodridge (have total of 16).   My cereal and pop purchase, less cereal coupons and $1.25 CPK OYNO came to .81.  and all the management shakeups in the world won’t help Dominicks ’cause you cain’t fix stupid…

Crossed to Panda Express and got our two free shrimp entrees.  It’s fairly spicy and very tasty.  Second set was from Butterfield/Naper location.

Driving down Ogden, decided to visit the Saratoga Jewel (Main Street) to check out their clearance section.  Couldn’t find it, but did find a whole shitload of chicken quarters (mostly frozen) reduced to .50/lb.  Also saw a sirloin steak with a $4 off coupon, which paired nicely with the BOGO on sirloin steak (so two for $6+).  Asked someone about the clearance section and they told us where it was hidden – yes hidden.  Spices that I paid .25 yesterday at the Lisle Jewel were marked .99!  Nutzoid.  They did have a rather large amount of Trident Superpack gum (spearmint and wintergreen, 18 pieces each) for .10.  Yes, you read that right, 10 cents!  So I was able to use up my nine Trident BOGO coupons after all.  It actually worked out much better because the Dominicks purchase would have been over a buck in high tax, whereas this was about .50 total.  Ended up with 66 packs which I will enjoy tremendously.  You can never have too much gum.  I paid with ten Motrin RRs, the nine Trident coupons and $1.68 in cash.

 

Target and Jewel and the Moosies

Took two Moosies to Puppy Parlor for their first grooming.  Here is Soul Patch (gray shades) and Runtie (brindle).  Although they all have brown eyes, PITA ‘s hair is blond.

Checked out the Gortons 50% off frozen deal at Jewel.  Though it pains me to say it, the deal at Dominicks is much better.  Buy four of the $3.99 Gortons and after coupons and $5 instant savings, you’re left paying $2.24/bag, whereas the Jewel deal is $2.99/bag.  Now, if you’re looking to burn those Motrin RRs, well then go for it, but I’m going to use up some more expired wts, so might as well give them the business.  And let’s be honest:  would it really be hard to use up the RRs on groceries?  I’ll probably get more clearance meat for the freezers.

Then off to Target for a few more pairs of pants.  Naturally by now their only selection is among puny PITA and Ringling Bros sizes.

Dominicks

My first stop was the Dominicks in Woodridge; hadn’t been there since the shelf-clearing.   No Quaker Squares, so picked up these four Better Oats using two BOGOs.  Since it’s Dominicks, the price is crazy high either with or without a coupon, so used one of the $1.25 OYNO from the CPK and handed over $.86.  And on to

 

the Western Springs Dominicks…Picked up everything here for $24.59.  Yeah, a lot of money, but I did get quite a few high-ticket items.

2 eight o’clock coffee; 6 CPK singlea pizzas, 1 Cool Juice; 3 dozen vegetarian eggs; 3 Ocean Spray juice blends; 2 boxes Cheese Nips; 1 bag Flaming Hot Cheetos; 2 bags Lays Kettle Cooked and 1 regular chips and 7 boxes Quaker Oats Squares.  The eggs were 50% off; used 3 juice wts; 5 salty snack wts; 1 free Cool Juice coupon (posted this a couple of months ago); 7 $1 coupons for cereal; 2 $4 coffee wts and a $1.25 OYNO from the CPK purchase yesterday.  THE BOY complains that there’s no more room in the freezers or refrigerators – and that’s a good feeling.

Also got a rain check for 10 more cereal.

Dominicks again

Went back with coupons and a plan.  Always works better with a plan.  Ran two transactions, since the $5/15 frozen coupon does not stack.  Picked up four of the Coke Classic 20 oz six-packs.  They were on supercoupon for $2.49 ($9.96) and I had three Free Soda cats (expired), so .24 a six-pack.  The CPK singles were couponless, so pay $15 less the $5 and get back $7.50 in mfr cats.  Advil was free using an unexpired coupon.  The Gortons was $3.99 so picked up four less the $5 and four .50 coupons from the Dominicks Football booklet ($15.96 – $5 – $2 = 8.96).  The big splurge was on the Tony Roma ribs on Friday special for $5 each (normally $10.99).  Sometimes I just get tired of THE BOY complaining that there’s not enough meat in the house, you know?  So my total OOP was $42.75 and got back $7.50 in cats.  Grabbed 12 of those $42 Frozen Foods coupon booklets.

This Western Springs Dominicks is freaky-deaky land.  Everyone there was super nice; I must have had at least fifteen people ask if I needed help, would I like for them to show me where things were located.  Even one guy carrying a load of boxes asked if I needed help!   A row of guys in suits went by, and honest-to-god everyone said Hello, need anything? as they went by.  Stepford Management.

So, here’s the way the coupons work until April 1:  If the expired scans it’s accepted.  CS assured me earlier that 99% of the coupons scan.  No RRs, either expired or un-.  No expired OYNO coupons, they must be for a specific product or product category (my Free Soda cat).

Dominicks and expired coupons, a road trip…

Heard a rumor…that the Dominicks in Western Springs will accept expired mfr coupons through April 1.  And no, that was not an early April Fool’s joke.  Decided to drive on over – getting lost along the way – which was part of the master plan, ’cause I saw a Wags in Hinsdale with lots of Baby Magic lotion and wash!  Grabbed four (tax was only .22 each); did not check on the Nasogel, but there was no MotrinPM.

So, arrive at the Dominicks in Western Springs (just east of Wolf on 47th Ave) and ask CS if they do accept them:  YES!  If they are mfr coupons and the register accepts them (she said that 99% of them are going through).  Note that this does not include the OYNO coupons (boo), but it does include the Free Soda, etc. cats floating around.  I decided to try using those soda cats on the 12 pks of Coke.  It’s B2G2 and figured I could use three or four of the cats – no.  Only 2 because I’m buying two.  Well, hell’s bells, the day I spend seven bucks for two 12 packs, you can slap my ass and call me Sally!  Yes, that is what I would pay for four 12-packs after subtracting the $6 cats…

So now I’m going back and being smart about this.  There is a Supercoupon for $2.49 6-packs, limit 4.  My cats are up to $3, so three cokes right there.  Now to check out the sales paired with any expired coupons.  wish me luck…
