Here are a few items that are free with coupons right now — no Catalinas, no Register Rewards, just straight up free. In IL, grocery store sales generally run through Wed. 1/9 (except for a few stores like Whole Foods and Food 4 Less, whose sales change on Wed.), and drugstore, Target, Walmart sales through Saturday 1/12. So, let’s shop for free!

what is Target J&J?
There was a two-page insert with Target Johnson & Johnson coupons in some papers yesterday. More info: http://www.mashupmom.com/2013/01/06/target-johnson-and-johnson-insert-16-hit-or-miss/
Oh, ok. MISS for me!
Re: the Jimmy Deans Delights…target has for $0.55, if you’re already there and not otherwise heading to Walmart. $0.55 or slightly less w/red card… I was there today, so this was a good enough for me! These are pretty good.
Sorry… if not obvious, $2.55. $0.55 net after coupon, slightly less w/red card discount… I was also using $5 off $60 I was mailed, so overall, was a great trip.
I found the Jimmy Dean Delights at Target today for $1.93. They adjusted the coupon down so no overage, but still free.
Nice! I actually checked my store today and they were $2.60, lol.
The J&J Carefree coupons are now not valid on the smaller count packages. The one from the J&J website is only valid on 36 count or higher.
Ah, you are correct – thanks! I changed the link to one that will work on any.
I was at Jewel yesterday and Stayfree was on sale Buy 2 get 1 Free…was wondering how everyone else thinks that would work out with the BOGO coupon.
If you buy 6 and use 3 coupons, you should get 2 free from the B2G1 sale and 3 free from the coupons. So pay for 1 and get 5 free.
I did this deal yesterday at Jewel. I used 3 coupons, bought 9 packages and I also used the tear coupon on the shelf(also in their Jewel ad) for $5.00 off $20 purchase of select items. The pads were $3.69 a package. Off the top of my head I believe I paid around .68 a package.
I also purchased the Slim Fast packs of drinks for $4.99. When you purchase 4 packs of drinks you also get a Free box of snack bars and a free box of snack chips from Slim fast. No coupon needed as long as you use your preferred card. I also used manufacture coupons from this weekends paper and saved an additional $6.00. Jewel does have the bonus packs of the Slim Fast Drinks.
Note that the Stayfree coupons do say “limit one per person” on them, which is why I haven’t posted this scenario. They do scan at the register, but ymmv.
Glendale Hts Walmart had no single packet Emergen-C to speak of. I stumbled upon them buried in the clearance aisle of all places- not clearance priced, still .48. I did, however, relocate them within the clearance shelf so anyone in the area might more easily find these. There are two large cardboard boxes filled with pumpkin flavored marshmallows. I put the packets on shelf above them.
i tried the schick razors at walmart they are l.97 and the one sore on galena blvd.in aurora took the coupon but the super walmart in oswego said their policy is not to let you use a coupon for more than the price of 1.97. well i9n the coupons on sunday 1/6/2013 and i am not sure which ne it was in there is a coupon for 3.00 off of 2 which would make them .97 for 2 and there is also another 1.00 off just one why some stores allow it and others do not is beyond me also the jimmy dean coupon works on the regular breakfast bowls and they are 2.26 at wal-mart i never did see any for 2.00
good luck
Your Walmart is incorrect — their policy specifically says they will take a coupon over the price of the item and give you the difference back. http://walmartstores.com/7655.aspx
