Here’s the a list of what I see as the best Dillons Deals of the week with coupon matchups. If you’re unfamiliar with all the great things Dillons has to offer, check out my Dillons 101 post for more info here. Free Items after Coupons are Highlighted in Green. NOTE: Dillons is part of the Kroger Chain, so if you have any Kroger chain stores in your area, these deals should be very similar.

NOTE ON CATALINA DEALS: From what I’ve been reading on the web, the catalina deals haven’t been printing yet. Since Mega Event Sales generally last 2 weeks, personally, I would hold off on doing the catalina deals until next week’s sale or at least wait a few days. If I hear reports of the catalinas printing, I’ll post an update. UPDATE: It looks like the catalinas are printing now. However, if yours doesn’t print, you can email Catalina Marketing HERE or call them at (877) 210-1917. I’ve had the catalinas not print several times in the past & I’ve always gotten my catalina in the mail after calling or emailing them with my receipt information.
