More Dillons Best Customer Coupons

I posted last week about receiving "Best Customer" catalinas from the register when I checked out. Well today, I got a booklet in the mail from Dillon's. It was filled with coupons, both manufacturer and store coupons. It was focused on Vegetarian recipes and info. It included coupons for PS organic salad, organic beans, bagged veggies--as well as Kraft mac-n-chz, etc.(?!)

I have been looking for these awhile. I did email Dillons asking to get coupons from them. I don't know if that did it, or if I finally just qualify as a "Best Customer".

Mother Earth News: Win $300 in Gardening Tools

Mother Earth News is giving away 10 Garden Tools, worth over $300.
Go HERE to enter.

$5 Off Schwan's Order of $5 or More

Schwan's is running a promotion for $5 off any order of $5 or more. Use code D5 at checkout. I don't know when this expires, could be end of the month (June).

I have been trying to do this for a few days. The only thing they have that I would use is the Lemon Italian Ice (or maybe the Strawberry Fruit Bars, but I wanted to keep it as close to $5 as possible). They have been Out of Stock for awhile. But, I thought I would post this deal, in case they are available in your area--or you want something else. =)

There is a $1 delivery fee. And, you may be asked to be put on the route. There is no obligation, however.

If the Lemon Ice was in stock, it would break down like this.
$5.99 - $5 + $1 + .08 tax = $2.07 for a 6-pack of 8oz. Lemon Italian Ice cups

Deal: Stacy's Pita Chips on Amazon

Amazon.com has a current promotion for Stacy's Pita Chips. Buy $39 or more and receive $15 off your total at checkout using the code PITAMDNS. They are also on sale right now. I thought the best value would be to order the bare minimum to qualify. Offer Expires June 30.

I tried it out with this combo:
12 pk 6 oz. bags $26.77
24 pk 1.5 oz bags $17.25

Total $44.02 - $15 = $29.02 + Free Shipping!

Play around with it. They have a lot of sizes and flavors.

Old Navy Swim & Shorts, $5

Don't forget: Old Navy is offering $5 swimsuits and shorts Saturday (today the 26th) and Sunday. (sale actually started Fri--sorry!)

OldNavyWeekly.com still has 15% off coupons, so you could get each item for $4.25! Just go to the link and click on the place where it says "Get their no-sweat style...", on the bottom center of the page.

Coupon Inserts 6/28

Common Sense with Money has a list of the coupons that will be in this Sunday's paper. There will be two inserts, a Smartsource and a RedPlum.

What's with all the $1/2, etc. coupons? Why can't they just be $.50/1 so we can get them doubled!

There is a $1/1 Sabra Hummus q. I like Sabra-yummy- just wish it didn't have preservatives.

Walgreens: Week 6/28

HERE is the ad for Walgreens week 6/28

I don't really see anything to speak of. Maybe something will surface.

Let me know if you see a great deal in there!

Added: Moms by Heart has an extensive match-up.

There is a deal on Ocean Spray Juice, if we got the right q's.

New Sam's Club One-Day Pass

Go HERE to sign-up and get a One-Day pass to Sam's Club.

It is good up until September 30th.

Be ready to make it worth your while! =)

Coupon for Rice Dream/Soy Dream

Go HERE to register and print a $.75/1 coupon for Rice Dream or Soy Dream products. (Use at Dillon's to make it $1/1)

Free Sample Bare Escentuals at JCPenney

Print THIS coupon and take it to the Sephora counter inside JCPenney for a free 10-day supply of Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Matte Foundation PLUS a Baby Buki Brush.

Fine print states if they run out, they will provide a free custom sample of anything you like.

Amazon: Organic Grocery Sale

Amazon is claiming to have a 50% off or more sale. Some of the prices seem a little wild, though. (Like a box of 7th gen. tampons originally $85??) But, you might find something in the mix. A lot of it qualifies for free shipping after $25 or more.

I am very tempted by the Newman-O's or Fig Newman's, 12 pack at $2.40/pack. However, I know DH would finish off all 12 packs in.... oh, two weeks?

There is also 5 gallons of organic coconut oil at $160. That is about $.25/oz, if I did my math right. That's probably half the price of what you would pay for the biggest container through Frontier. I'm thinking coconut oil bath...

Do you see anything of interest?

Guide to Safe Cosmetics

I love EWG's pocket guides. Here is the printable pocket guide to Safe Cosmetics.

And here is the Parent's Buying Guide. I think it is great that it suggests mainstream products also, as some people may have limited access to more natural brands.

Farmer's Market

I hope you all are as excited about your local Farmer's Market as I am. We have a pretty big garden this year, so I don't need as much produce--but it's great to fill in the gaps.

HOWEVER!!! This year the market has a new vendor-- Real Farm Foods.
They sell natural beef and pork products, and.... raw milk!!!! So psyched. Welcome!!

Grocery Highlights: Dillons & Target

Got all of this at Dillon's for $28. Not sure if it looks like a great deal to you, but consider about half is organic! (What do you think? Worth a pic or not?) BTW, you might not be able to tell, but it includes organic butter and a whole Smart Chicken (manager special).


Dillons


Did you print the Tyson Fresh Chicken q I posted a couple days ago? I hope so, because it's gone now. If you did, Dillons has chicken legs for $.99/lb. I bought four packs today and only paid between $.20 - $.25 each.


There is a promo this week, where if you buy 10 participating items, you get $3 off your order.

Here is what I did. (I'll list prices b4 discount--which is backward from how everyone else does it)
Kraft BBQ sauce $.99 Bought 6, used 6 $.75/1 q's = free
Ragu Sauce $1.66 Bought 3, used 3 $.60/1 q's = $.66 each
Multi-Grain Cheerios $2.66 Bought1, used $1/1 q, plus $.75 off e-q from Shortcuts = $.91
THEN I got $3 off my total bill (so the bbq sauce, especially, earned $$)

Cantaloupe $1.67

Organic Grapes still marked $1.99/lb Rang up $2.29/lb I asked to get free, per pricing accuracy policy (I can deal with a hateful cashier to get free grapes **eye roll**)

Organic Lemons $.44 each

Clif, Luna and Mojo Bars 10/$10 Use $1/3 q in Go Organic! Book (this is a good price--not great, only a few cents less than Target and Walmart)

There were organic canned beans in the clearance bin for $.99 each.

Here's an idea to get free/cheap sugar, also. There were q's on coupons.com a few weeks ago for Kool-aid $.50/10. IF you printed two of them (I did not, sigh, who knew!?), look for 10/$1 sale (would double and be free). Use those 2 q's AND the one in last week's paper for $2 off sugar wyb 20 pks kool-aid (does not specify type of sugar--brown, white..., or brand--organic, cane, etc.)


Target
I ran by there today in the hopes of snagging nearly free ice cream. It was all gone. However, keep your eyes peeled in case they restock (which they rarely do in cases of great deals). The Target Coupon Generator (find on Organic Grocery Deals) has a coupon for $1/1 Edy's or Dreyer's Ice Cream. There is a small size on sale for $1.19 right now.

Go to coupons.com (use in upper right, please!) and print the $5/1 for Pictureka. You can find the card game at Target (and prob. Walmart, etc.) for $6.99, so only $1.99 after q. I got one today. My kids love games.

Solo "Bare" brand eco-forward disposable cups/plates are on sale for $1.50 Find a $1/1 q HERE.


Post a comment or email if you want more info on how I found a q, etc.

Not too many fantastic deals at Target this week. But, I thought I would mention a couple things.

Yum--Lunch

My kids just scarfed down lunch today. They are finishing it up, and I am still hearing the sounds of enjoyment.

We had Greek Tortilla Pizza
Whole wheat tortillas. Spread olive oil over them. Layer sliced tomatoes around. Sprinkle with feta cheese (there is a $1 off q on Smartsource, or $.50/1 q from insert). Add olives (optional--they like, I don't)

Bake around 400, turn broiler on for a couple minutes to get crispy.

Yummy. I think I should have made more.

I forgot the best part!!! Sprinkle with fresh chopped basil after it comes out of the oven!

Nourishing Traditions

I have a big appreciation for the book "Nourishing Traditions" and the ideas within. (Interpret that as--I think it is cool and use ideas as I can work them in. I have some convenience issues I need to deal with)

I found a blog that shares recipes, etc. along this vein. I'll link to my all-time favorite recipe from her-- Making Chicken Stock in the Crockpot. Be sure to go to her homepage, too and see newer articles.

It seems so obvious, but for some reason I found the idea of making my own chicken stock to be daunting. I kind of felt it was silly to cook a soup to make a soup. Thus, I purchased canned broth so I would have it on hand when I needed it. (I still have some in my emergency stockpile)

Now, my goal is to roast a chicken (whole or a couple split breasts, etc.) maybe once a week or so. (I absolutely LOVE roast chicken) I then just throw the carcass in the crockpot. I also liked the idea of keeping my vegetable remains in the fridge (tops of carrots, onion peel, etc.) and making use of them. I follow the instructions given pretty similarly.

The end product is 2 jars of GORGEOUS chicken broth! It just exudes health, homemade-ness, and deliciousness! This could easily be done with beef, etc.

Seriously, if I can get around to doing this--it has to be pretty darn simple.

FYI
A group is forming in SWMO to discuss the Nourishing Traditions (Weston A. Price) teachings, recipes, resources, etc.

Price Cutter Notes

I mentioned that Melissa organic baby carrots were in this week's ad for $.99

I was at the store on Battlefield and they did not have Melissa's carrots. Instead, (as I expected) they put the sale sign on the Earthbound Farms carrots. However, they put the sale on the 1 lb. bag of whole carrots--which are always priced at $.99

Being the gutsy gal I am, I tracked down an employee (who happened to be the grocery manager). I explained that the sale was for baby carrots and asked if he would mark down the Earthbound Farms baby carrots (normally $1.99). He did not even hesitate and graciously marked them down for me. I then checked out using a coupon for $1/2. I paid $.50/bag for two bags of organic baby carrots!!

Restaurant.com 80% Off -- 4 Days Only

Restaurant.com is offering $25 gift certificates for only $2!!! That is 80% off!
Use code DISH when checking out. Offer ends on 6/25

If you have not used Restaurant.com before, be sure to read the fine print, etc.

Here is some of it:

Limit one (1) redemption per party, per month, per restaurant

Limit one (1) Restaurant-Specific Certificate per redemption. Only one Restaurant-Specific Certificate can be used per party, even if the party is seated at separate tables and/or receives more than one check.

Use of Restaurant-Specific Certificates for alcoholic beverages is at the sole discretion of the restaurant.

Valid for parties of two (2) or more unless otherwise stated.

Valid for dine in only unless otherwise stated.


There is also a minimum amount you must spend to redeem the certificate, i.e. like your bill must be $35 to use a $25 gift cert (just an example).

You will also be charged an 18% tip rate--from what I understand.

Keep in mind, the certificates do not expire for one year, I do believe.

All in all, though, this could be a really sweet deal! There are only select restaurants participating in each area. When the set number of certificates sell out for a particular restaurant, then they are out.

Let us know if you try these out somewhere and how your experience goes!

(We are going on vacation to Memphis, so I might try to get one for that!)

On a side note--especially to those of you who make your own cloth diaper detergent-- my Walmart has OxiClean Versatile Free on rollback right now for $6.XX, use the $1 q from the paper a couple weeks ago. Still not as cheap as the Sun Oxygen Cleaner. But, I thought I would try it and see if it worked miracles. *wink*

New Walgreens Policy?

So, I went to Walgreens today. I had been on Sunday (never got around to posting deals this week). I bought lots of Dry Idea and Schick razors.

Went back for more tonight. I was informed that they would no longer take 2 coupons for a B1G1 sale--um ok. Weird they made this change mid-week. Then, when I tried to buy the Dry Idea, it took my coupons and then would not take the Walgreens coupon to give the sale price. I left buying nothing. It is becoming a bigger hassle every week. It will be interesting to see what experience other people are having.

I plan on emailing corporate.

Best Price for Beco Butterfly 2

I thought I would just pass on the deal I found, in case anyone else is shopping for a new one, also.

Grocery Highlights: Dillons & Target

Got to Dillons and Target last night. For some reason, I have had some horrible shopping experiences lately. I hope that streak ends soon.

Dillons

Kraft cheese is $1.77 Use previous IPs for $1/1

The Naturally Preferred Organic Milk is $2.99
Even Better:
Organic Valley Milk on sale $3.69, Use $1/1 from Go Organic! bk or print from their site = $2.69

Garden of Eatin tortilla chips are B1G1, they ring up half-price, so $1.64 ea

Fresh Gourmet salad toppers are $2/4 There are $.50/1 q's from insert. Makes them $1. These are tortilla strips, wonton strips, etc. I got DH some wasabi wonton strips for salads, etc.

Shortcuts.com had a $1/1 e-q for Cascadian Farms froz. veg. Froz. potatoes are on sale. I bought a bag of tater tots for $2.99, then subtract q = $1.99 (It didn't come off my card, so when I got home, just filled out the form and they gave me credit right away--might have even left q on there to use again?)

Fresh pineapples $2.49 Use IP for $.75/1 = $1.49

Muir Glen products on sale. I still had some IPs that expired end of May. Since Dillon's takes expired coupons for up to 2 weeks, I am glad I held onto them! I got organic tomato paste for $.19

Daisy Sour Cream $1.69 Use insert q for $.50/1 = $.69


Target

I found Archer Farms organic apple/grape juice on a clearance end cap (in froz. section) for $1.88 for 1qt. (Later, I saw Old Orchard organic apple juice 2 qt. at Dillons for $3.49?--Use $1/2 q to get 4 qt. for $6 or $1.50/qt....if I calculated that right)

Kashi Cereal bars still $2.88 Use the new $1.50/1 IP q

I posted the new q's on Stonyfield Farms website. When I saw they had a q for $1 off Annie's fruit snacks I ran for them. They aren't on sale ($3.59), but these are the best fruit snacks I've ever had.

Market Pantry Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon is $7.99 (usually $8.99)

There are other Target deals floating about for Degree deodorant, Ziploc bags, Special K, etc.
I previously posted sales on Method products and Tom's of Maine deo and toothpaste.

I have to say, aside from my adidas', I have had most of my shoes for years. Within the last couple weeks, I have bought 3 pairs of Simple Shoes (mary jane style, suede sneakers, slippers), a pair of mary jane Crocs, and now the Teva Olawahus. I am super pumped to have cute feet! (and I probably spent on 5 pairs what DH spends on one!)

Dillons: Coupons

Dillons is offering a coupon for $.55/1 bag of Private Selection organic cheese HERE
Keep in mind that this coupon probably will not double. It exp. 7/31 If you still have Kraft or Sargento coupons, that may be the better deal for awhile. Hopefully the PS cheese will have a big sale.


I won't do Dillons match-ups till I get to the store (later tonight), because there was not much to mention from the ad.

Update: Springfield, MO Kmart NOT Doubling

So, after being told TWICE by the Kmart corporate office that the Springfield, MO stores would be participating, I drove all the way to town--3 kids in tow--and was told, "No, we are not doubling coupons." At least I had not shopped yet. I have since talked to the corporate office twice. Got two nice little worthless apologies. Not sure what I expected. Maybe they could tell me when our stores would be participating. Maybe they could all get on the same page. I guess I better shake it off, write off my morning/gas wasted--and remember not to expect much from Kmart in the future.

Kanimi Natural Imt. Crab Chunks $.99 (We bought several packs last time. I really liked it. It is made with pollack. It has no artificial dyes, etc. I will probably stock up. We like it in stirfrys, dip, etc.)

Smart Chicken, drumsticks or thighs, family pack $1.39/lb
Farmland, all-natural ham or turkey tubs 2/$5 (write Farmland and they send you a sheet of coupons)

This week's ad features an informative spread on how PC has an exclusive beef contract with Creekstone Farms. I have been buying CF's All Natural beef, but the prices went up. I do like that PC carries the regular "Midwestern Reserve" beef from Creekstone farm. If I can't afford the grass-fed, at least it is raised close to home and not from a huge beef-conglomerate. (And not in those disgusting packs like Walmart carries, which are injected with gas)

Update: Watch the pricing on the crab, it is not all ringing up at the correct price. They should just adjust it for you.

I found Kraft BBQ sauce clearanced for $.80 Use the $.75/1 insert q, or $1/1 IPs

Dillons

Fresh Ground Chuck $1.58 (ground right in store. This is appealing, as the whole process of grinding the meat is what I am leery of. Read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Scholsser for more info. I may ask more questions about their beef...)

Pepsi product 2-liters sale (I NEVER buy soda, but have some q's and need some for an upcoming shower, so I will mention it) Buy 4, get 2 free (at 4/$5)-- when you buy 6 it is $.84/ea I have 2 q's for Sierra Mist B1G1--if this sale applies, I'll get 6 for $2.50 PLUS! I found a rebate at Walgreen's yesterday. Buy 4 Pepsi 2-liters get a $5 rebate. I earn $2.50!

Fresh Green Beans $.99/lb
Cantaloupe $1.77

Dannon yogurt, including Activia $1.99 There may be e-coupon plus manuf. q's

Lipton Tea 1-gal (inc. green tea) $2.99 there are $.50/1 hangtags on some, plus use bringinghope e-coupon for $.75 to get it for $1.25 (I may wait another week or 2 to see if it goes lower)

Farmland Bacon is B1G1, will scan at 50% off (or $2.65) Great price if it includes All Natural Bacon (Was told they don't have it--not sure if he really knew or not). Write Farmland for full sheet of coupons.

NP Organic Milk is still $2.99

Santa Cruz Lemonades are 3/$5 Use coupon for $.75/1 in Go Organic! coupon book = $.67 ea

Country Choice cookies, ginger snaps etc. $3.19 Use $1/1 in Go Org. bk

If you got the Shortcuts coupon for Naturally Preferred WW Pasta, the Penne is 2/$4 (can always buy 1 with these sales), so would be $1

They did have organic grapes. A bit expensive, but we have been craving some good grapes lately.

Newman's Own salad dressings $2.99 Use $.50/1 q from last wk. =$1.99 Not as cheap as free Kraft, but.... Hey!

New E-Coupon Site:Bringing Hope to the Table

Visit Bringing Hope to the Table and sign-up with your Kroger/Dillons card. You can access coupons and load them onto your shopper's card (just like with cellfire and shortcuts).

This site is sponsored by Kroger. They are also pledging to donate 4 million dollars to food banks.


Keep in mind that your card can only hold 50 coupons (combined from all sites).

Free Sample of Homemade Soap

Cloud 9 Spa Services is giving away a free sample of homemade glycerin soap. Go HERE to request your sample. This is a limited time promotion.

Enter to Win Basket of To Go Products

Go HERE to win a gift basket from To Go Brands (items such as Omega to Go, Acai to go, etc.), valued at $300. Plus, the first 3,000 contest entrees will receive free sample packs!

Kmart Doubles Days are Upon Us!!

Kmart Stores will be doubling coupons up to $2!! This promotion will run from June 7th- June 13th.

To find out if your local stores are participating, you can call Kmart customer service at 1-866-562-7848.


FYI, I did call, and ALL of the Springfield, MO stores are participating!!!

Also, the rep I spoke with said they would accept coupons up to and including $2, as long as doing so did not exceed the purchase price. I asked if in that case the coupon could be adjusted down, and she said that would be at the discretion of the store's management.

So, How will I prepare for this? I will probably go through all my coupons and pull all that when doubled might make for free items, and all coupons for items that I would like and it would be worth my while when doubled.

I have heard the limit will be 10 coupons/customer/day will double. (You can use as many as you want, but only 10 will double). I may take hubby so he can get his too!

Sonic Free Float Night on Wed.

Visit Sonic from 8pm to midnight on Wed. June 3rd and get a Free Root Beer Float!

This is your only reminder. :)

Buy Eco-Chocolate, Get a Free Redbox Movie!

Buy a 3 oz. Endangered Species chocolate bar from Walgreens and receive a Free Redbox movie rental.

Endangered Species is an all-natural chocolate bar using ethically-traded cacao.

This offer runs from 6/1/09 to 7/31/09. The code for the free movie rental will print on your Walgreen's receipt.

UPDATE: I tried this tonight, but no code. I called Redbox and they said the code has not been printing, but that they are working on it. They gave me a code over the phone for a free rental.
So, if you try this and don't get a code, be sure to call Redbox. The customer service # is 866-REDBOX-3

I did have a great idea to roll this with the Ecotrin.
Transaction #1 Buy Ecotrin for $2. Give them a $2 coupon for Ecotrin. (I did this tonight and there was no tax or anything--just a straight exchange!) You will receive a $2RR
Trans #2 Buy a Endangered Species Chocolate Bar for $2.99 Use the $2 RR. You will pay $1.19 (or so) out of pocket.

So, for $1 and change, you get a bottle of aspirin (can donate), a very nice chocolate bar, and a free movie rental!!

Where to find the Ecotrin coupons? They were in the 5/17 paper and are online at Smartsource.com You can print two per computer.
