My Dillons Deals 4/15 & 4/16

This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

I just realized I went to Dillons 3 times this week, whew! I went on Monday to grab a few good deals and to get the movie ticket from the Dillons Digital Choice Rewards and yesterday went to get one more ticket before the promotion was over (runs through 4/20). Now today, I hadn’t planned on going at all, but my printer died unexpectedly yesterday & after hours of attempting to clean and revive the printhead I finally had to give up. Nowadays, it’s just as cheap to go & get another printer than to have one fixed. So, I headed off to shop for my printer and found one I could work with for now. Anyway, on my way back home, I swear my car just drove itself into Dillons parking lot and there I was. 😉 I’m glad I did go though, because I stumbled onto one really good clearance deal.
