Apparently it is ad misprint week.

Heads up: A couple of you have commented this morning that your Ultras have signs up: The Lever bar soap which is advertised at $1.50 for an 8 ct. is actually $1.50 for a 2 count. That is far from the same.

Here are the best Ultra Foods coupon matchups and deals I see for the week of 5/16/13. Sale prices start at 6AM on Thursday.

• I’m using the Lombard version of their ad (valid for Lombard, Downers Grove, Wheaton, and Crestwood), so note that some pricing can vary at other stores, particularly on the extreme value meat deals or the cereal deals. Check your own store’s ad to verify. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it does happen.
  
• One day meat sale Wed. 5/22 only, Lombard store only — see details here!

So this week I am at almost $100 in grocery/drugstore shopping, yikes — but last week I was under $50, so it all evens out to that rough $75 a week. And, you know… impulse pub burgers and asparagus dinner. And no, you don’t have to shop at all these stores every week to save, either.

Today I stopped by Dominick’s to check out the McCormick thing for you guys, then stopped at Ultra on the way back because we needed milk. We will see if I can decipher the Dominick’s receipt, since I got one of the crazy ones where nothing is under the item it is for, and things are randomly adding and subtracting all over the place…

Dominick’s

Arm & Hammer cat litter, $5.00 and not pictured because I left it in the garage. It’s heavy. Used one $3.50/1 printable, which is all I could get after fighting with Java on multiple computers (grr).
McCormick crushed red pepper, oregano, and basil, all free as outlined here.
2 Hillshire Farm low sodium ham, $1.98. (On clearance, rang up wrong, got a refund…)
5 cans Bush’s beans, $3.35 after personalized JFU pricing and the $1.00/5 JFU e-coupon.
4 boxes Mott’s and Ocean Spray fruit snacks, $3.96 after instant savings when you buy four. Used three $1.00/1 Catalinas I had in my stash. A random $.50 e-coupon came off that I think was for these.
3 Land O’ Lakes butter tubs, $4.47 with in-ad coupon. Brought blinkies which I didn’t realize were expired, doh. So I will instead post-redeem three $.40/1 from the 3/10 SS, but will count that $1.20 back when I get it. Also got another $.66 off for a personalized 10% off butter Just for U offer.
2 double roll 12 packs Cottonelle, $10.00. Used two $.75/1 tearpads from Jewel a while back.

Also a random $.55 e-coupon came off, which I’m not sure what it was for — again, weird strange receipt. Paid $20.90. (Once I post redeem the butter coupons, it’ll be $19.70.)

Ultra

So then I stopped at Ultra on the way home, because we were driving right by.

Centrella milk, $.98 with in-ad coupon.
Dole squish’ems, $1.98. Used: Put in ZIP 19606 here and then reload the page to find $1.00/1 Dole Fruit Squish’ems preclipped first for you. Will probably go back with the insert coupons for more, forgot to clip…
Dean’s half & half, $1.99. Used exp. $.75/1 in the 3/17 SS.
2 avocados, $.76.
2 packs cheese, $2.50.
Spinach, $1.67.
8 lb potatoes, $1.28.
Takis, $1.66

Got $.10 off for bringing my own bags and paid $11.19.

Here are the best Ultra Foods coupon matchups and deals I see for the week of 5/2/13. Sale prices start at 6AM on Thursday.

Let’s move on with our tour of “where can we use the new printable coupons right now, cause we’re impatient?” Here, however, you’ll have to wait til tomorrow 5/2, when Ultra Foods is starting a “buy $30 P&G products get a $10 Visa prepaid card by mail” deal.

I’ll  bring you the full matchups later today, but printing these coupons is a good way to get by P&G’s four like coupons per household per day rule. If you use some from the paper and some you print, they are not like, they are different. Here are the new printables for items listed in the ad, plus price after coupon — and then of course you’ll be able to send in for the rebate.

Crest Pro-Health 33.8 oz (which is 1 liter) will be $4.44. Use this new $1.00/1 Pro-Health 458ml+ coupon to pay $3.44.

Pantene will be $2.50, so use this $2.00/2 coupon to get it for $1.50 each.

Pampers 64-72 ct wipes will be $1.97, or $1.47 after this $.50/1 printable coupon.

150 oz liquid Tide will be $16.88, limit 1. Use this whopping $.40/1 printable coupon.

If you go to your CVS for the Zyrtec, it might be in several places — mine had a nearly full free standing cardboard display by the pharmacy, some on the shelf, and some on a display up front by the registers. I got my six, and there were still plenty left at 12:30 PM on Sunday.

CVS

Six 5-ct Zyrtec, $36.00. Used six $6.00/1 from the 4/28 SS.
M&Ms, $.99. Used $.99/1 coupon from the magic machine.

Paid $.71. Got back $7.00 in ECB today — $2.00 for the green bag tag ending (sniff) and $5.00 for hitting my next $50 in Beauty Club purchases on last week’s trip.

Ultra

Then I popped down the street to Ultra foods for the Johnsonville sausage…

Six packs Johnsonville premium sausage, $12.00. Used six $1.00/1 from the 4/28 RP.

Got $.05 off for bringing my own bag, and paid $6.16. So for the day: $6.87 out of pocket, and net cost of… I made $.13 after my ECB back.

Good week to buy extra papers

If your family has seasonal allergies — or if you will use the Johnsonville sausage! — right there it’s a good investment. Way I figure, if you buy six papers at the Dollar Tree for $6.00, and use six $1.00 coupons on the sausage at Ultra Foods, you are even. Everything after that is gravy, and a good return on investment. I used $42 in coupons today already, counting the Zyrtec and the sausage, and will definitely use more out of the P&G inserts etc.

Kind of funny, isn’t it? I didn’t realize that this was an entire shopping trip of: PORK PRODUCTS, lol — but sometimes that’s just how it works out. This was partially because I found three expired $1.00/1 fresh pork products from that long ago promo that I had to use this week or lose ‘em, so…

4 Langers apple juice, $5.12. Used two BOGO hangtags (found a couple months ago).
Cantaloupe, $.88.
Sunset sweet cherry tomatoes, $.99.
Dean’s half & half, $2.19. Used $.75/1 in the 3/17 SS.
Bar-S bologna, $.88.
5 Johnsonville premium sausage, $10.00. Used five exp. $1.00/1 coupons from the 2/10 SS.
Pork roast, $2.60. Used exp. $1.00/1 fresh pork printable.
Pork chops, $2.18. Used exp. $1.00/1 fresh pork printable.
Pork chop, $2.27. Used exp. $1.00/1 fresh pork printable.

Got $.05 off for bringing a bag and paid $16.22. So I’m up to $48.13 out of pocket for the week (starting on Sunday) when you add in my other shopping trips. How are you guys doing this week?

e. found a new $1.00/1 Palermo’s flatbread or primo thin pizza hiding under ZIP 30303 (just change ZIPs, then reload the page to find it first and pre-clipped for you!).
