Sunday Deals and Coupons for a New Year
It is typical for the New Year's set of inserts to be hefty....and this year is no exception, you will see FIVE inserts in your Journal World today.
Hy Vee
Michelina's Frozen Meals 10/$10 Use this $1/5 Printable and get them for $0.75/each.
Healthy Choice All Natural Entrees 2/$4. Buy 5 and use this $5/5 Printable and get them for $1/each.
Dole Premium Salads 4/$5. Buy 2 @ $1.25/ea and use this $1/2 Printable and get them for $0.75.
Kraft Singles are $2.50/ea. Use the $0.50/1 coupon from the 12-06 SmartSource. You can also use this at Dillon's where it will double and get the singles for $1.50.
Dillon's
SoftSoap Elements Pump Handsoap 10/$10 $0.35/1 in today's SmartSource #1 doubles and you can get them for $0.30/each.
Angel Soft bathroom tissue is $1.30 normally priced. You can print a $0.50/1 coupon which doubled, will land you a $0.30 pack of toilet paper.
NyQuill/DayQuill $4.99/ea Use $1.50/1 from last week's (12-27) P & G These are also part of the $5/$25 P & G promotion that goes through Tuesday.
The P & G event at Dillon's will end on Tuesday... but when you purchase $25 in specified P & G products you will get $5 off of your bill at checkout. There is no limit to the number of times you can do this deal...if you spend $50 in designated products... you will get $10 at checkout. Last week's P & G insert has coupons that make this such a great deal... I went to the Journal World offices on Wednesday and bought 10 more papers!! Sales like this are a game to me...to see how low I can get my costs...what percentage I can save. I did the deal 11 times last week and saved 91% !! No... I don't need the majority of the items I "bought" ...but I know that The Shelter does! I will be posting at SuperJenn this week with pictures of my donations.
Target
Leap Frog books for Tag and Tag Jr. are all on sale for $9.99. You can print $4, $3, and $2/1 coupons for these and get them as low as $5.99. I have found that WalMart has a wider selection of these books...and will price match. If you know any little ones who have the Tag Reader or Tag Jr. , it might be worth stocking up now and having some gifts on hand throughout the year.
Triaminic children's cold medicines are $4.49 each. Use either the $3/1 or $2/1 coupons from the 12-06 SmartSource and get them for as low as $1.50 each.
5lb boxes of Cuties are still on sale for $4.99. Use the $1/1 coupon from the 12-06 Smart Source and get them for $3.99. My kids can't get enough of these...and eat at least 2 every time they have some...I'm thankful for the continued sale!
Duraflame Logs 6pk are $14/each. Visit Duraflame and register with them to receive a $5/1 coupon making these $11 for a 6pk. These are great starters for the fire....and if you aren't lucky enough to have a handy man like mine around who cuts your firewood for you... this is a great way to enjoy a warm fire with all of this snow outside.
SmartOnes frozen meals and desserts are $1.89 each. When you buy 10 you will receive a $5 gift card to use on your next purchase. Visit the Smart Ones website and print a $1/5 coupon or find one in the January issue of All You Magazine. Go HERE and register for a $3/10 coupon. Get them for as little as $1.10/each after coupons and Gift Cards. Remember...you can do separate transactions when shopping at Target. Buy your gift card items first in one transaction...then use those gift cards on your second transaction...the rest of the items you are purchasing.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs will be released on Tuesday. You can purchase the DVD at Target for $15.99 which includes the book. Use this $3/1 Printable to get it for $12.99... then buy yourself a can of Spot Shot carpet cleaner if you so please.... and use $1/1 printable coupon to get it for $3.99....then submit the rebate form found HERE and get the entire $4.99 rebated. You have now gotten the DVD and book for $11.99.
WalMart
Sudafed $5/ea Use a $4/1 printable to get them for $1/each
Dannon Activia yogurt 4 pks are $1.88 each. Dannon is running the Activia Challenge again...eat the yogurt every day for 2 weeks and if you don't see "results" you can submit for your money back. Details can be found HERE
Atkins shakes are $5 for a 4pk. Find a $1.50/1 coupon in Smart Source #1 this weekend and get these for $3.50. You can also receive an Atkins starter pack for FREE when you join their website. The starter pack includes a Starter Guide, Carb Counter and 3 Atkins bars.
Hastings

re P&G sale...did you factor in the extra cost of the 10 papers to your savings?
redrose (anonymous) says…
The .50 coupon for angel soft toilet paper is only good for 12 double roll or larger package. Those cost more than $1.30.
This is a manufacturer's coupon, so would be good anywhere. Twice recently Walgreen's has run 12 double roll packs for $5.00 and $5.49. That is a good deal, maybe they or some other store will do that again before coupon expires in March.

wow thanks. this is the worst article. who wants to spend their day reading this and trying to figure out what it says then peicing together their coupons in line only to walk into the bitter cold? not i. but then again, any frozen meals on sale will do just fine outside and will probably stay frozen until forever

There are articles and blogs that many do not want to read. It isn't difficult to tell if it is one you want to or not. We get that there are people who either do not understand the idea, hate coupons or are just to lazy to do it themselves. Fair enough. No one is telling you to read the blogs or do couponing so what is your point other than harassment? If you choose to pay full price for groceries no one is stopping you. Feel free to pay the higher price and in some cases more sales tax.
As for cost, I spent around $280 per year to coupon. That money is made up in about 2 months depending on what I buy, leaving savings for the other 10 months. That is just buying for myself. If I were buying for a whole family the savings would make up for the expenses much quicker and the savings after the expenses would be even greater.

does anyone know why p and g saver, that you download to your dillons card, doesn't work anymore?
SuperJenn (Jenn Hethcoat) says…
catbird - I have a line item in my budget that covers the cost of papers, coupons, ink and paper for my printer. I consider all of this when I figure my savings. I actually bought the extra 10 after my first trip to the store. Even if I had... I saved over $400 on that trip! $12.50 in papers becomes inconsequential :)
SuperJenn (Jenn Hethcoat) says…
madman - PGeSaver ended it's program with Kroger at the end of the year. Terribly unfortunate! You can still load coupons to your Dillons card at cellfire.com, shortcuts.com and now directly from the Dillons website.

Thanks for writing this, very helpful information! Love the links to printables-

Hey, I think this is valuable info. I had a little trip to Dillon's yesterday. The total came to $33.43. I used 7 coupons and saved $12.28. For about ten minute's worth of work. I don't usually make over $70 an hour working, so for me the little effort is huge to save that amount.
SuperJenn (Jenn Hethcoat) says…
ozmaster2 - Well done! Always nice when you see those numbers add up...right? Glad you find it helpful!
