Buy three save $6.00 instantly

There’s a mix/match sale: Buy any three participating items, save $6.00 instantly. Of course, no prices, that would be too easy. Starbucks, Godiva, or Gevalia coffee. Maxwell House. Tully’s or Green Mountain 12-ct K-Cups. Twinings loose leaf tea and Twinings 50ct tea. Kicking Horse coffee. Revolution tea. Look for additional tags in store. Limit 21. It doesn’t say “3 or more,” so you’ll probably have to buy in groups of three on this one.

No prices on any of those, but shows Safeway Select or Open Nature ice cream for $2.59 after coupon, Safeway Select pizza $3.29. Oh wait, on the last page it shows Eggo at $2.89, so $2.02 after coupon.

Things to know at Dominick’s

Just a few things to know:

1. Dominick’s does not let you use a coupon on the “free” item in a buy one, get one free sale. They also have now decided that they won’t let you use a BOGO coupon on a BOGO sale to get both items for free.
2. Many Dominick’s will only let you use one OYNO Catalina per transaction. Most no longer take Catalinas or  Register Rewards from other stores unless they are for a specific item. Their official policy says no.
3. Sign up for Just for U for additional e-coupons and “personalized savings.” You can no longer use paper coupons with manufacturer JFU e-coupons. Although sometimes they randomly go through.
4. Just for U common questions and answers here.
5. Link to whatever the current coupon policy might be, here.
6. If you shop at Safeway, Vons, Genuardi’s, or another Safeway affiliate, your prices may differ from those shown here, but Catalina deals are 90% the same. Dominick’s in Illinois no longer allows the stacking of manufacturer e-coupons with paper manufacturer coupons, and neither do many Safeways — they’re phasing it out as they roll out Just for U in your area.
7. Dominick’s, unlike Jewel, gives individual stores tremendous leeway about coupon policies, so you will not see consistency between stores, and not all stores follow the official policy.
