Here are the best Ultra Foods coupon matchups and deals I see for the week of 12/8/11. I’m using the Lombard version of their ad (valid for Lombard, Downers Grove, Wheaton, Hanover Park), so note that pricing can vary between stores, particularly on the extreme value meat deals and sometimes on the cereal deals. Check your own store’s ad to verify.

Things to know at Ultra

At many Ultras, Catalinas will NOT print at the self-checkouts, so use the registers. Ultra accepts expired manufacturer coupons back 30 days; they do not accept expired store coupons. View the Ultra coupon policy here (click on your local store from this link and it will come up). They now accept manufacturer Catalinas from other stores; however, they will not accept Register Rewards from Walgreens.

Some Ultras will give you a $.05 credit for each reusable bag you bring in and use, so be sure to mention them to your cashier.
