Activities

• A recommendation from feelgood:  “Nice deal for anyone who remembers Rocky Horror! Hollywood Blvd Theater in Woodridge, IL (75th and Lemont Rd) is still showing Rocky Horror Picture Show every Saturday at midnight. $8 to get in and you have to purchase at least one food or drink item from their menu.”

Coupons, etc.

• Jane shares:  “ink saving tip: If you are warned ahead of time that a coupon prints a page of wasted ink (like the egg coupon) I just insert a small piece of paper (about 1/3 of a sheet) and it will stop printing after the coupon part. I did this with the egg one today! And I actually proved why they give you 2 prints per cp most times because on my 2nd print the inside of my cp was BLANK! I have “print preview” and it did look light but dummy me still clicked PRINT and I ended up w/ a botched one. That is why they allow 2 prints because that does happen every so often. We should feel fortunate when they both print out legible.” I totally agree on the small pieces of paper! I have a folder with scraps of paper by my printer, and I feed certain sizes depending on type of coupon. I would just caution to use a full sheet for the first print of coupons you’ve never printed before because occasionally one will print at the bottom of the page. And Target/Coupon Network center the coupon, so you need 2/3 of a sheet if you are only printing one coupon.
• A suggestion from MBurke for those not getting weekly ads delivered:  “I would post a message on the Tribune Facebook page rather than calling Customer Service.  Their CS department is located outside the US and I doubt they would know anything about these mailings.” Also keep in mind that some areas are serviced by the post office and some directly by the Tribune. For the latter, this is the sign Caputo’s has posted:
  

Dominick’s

• Pam comments:  “Check your store also for Clearance L’oreal Everpure products (thanks to boojiw on couponerswanted for the tip!) These are sulfate free. I was able to find the Cleansing Conditioner and other Everpure shampoos for $3.49 minus the $2 manufacturer coupon in the 1/13 RP and 2/3 RP, making these only $1.49, an excellent price. I also found John Frieda Luxurious Volume shampoo (NOT sulfate free though) on clearance for $2.99, bought two of them and used the $3/2 coupon from the 2/10 SS, so also making these $1.49. I like the Cleansing conditioner, because I just HAVE to wash my hair daily or I feel gross—I know, I know, my hairdresser constantly reprimands me. This product is very gentle on your hair. Boojiw reportedly found Everpure products for only $1.75 at the Batavia Dominicks, and got the overage from the $2 coupon.”

Meijer

• For the new $.50/1coupon, Anne points out:  “Chex Mix is currently on sale as part of Meijer’s 10 for $10 w/ the 11th free.”

I am near Midway and can pick up in the surrounding areas.Thanks in advance!”
• Laurie on Facebook asks:  “Does anyone know where to get a fried grouper sandwich in the Lisle/Naperville area?”
