I LOVE my local Dillons! They are part of the Kroger chain, so most of the below will apply to Kroger stores as well. Here’s a few pieces of information you’ll want to know about them:

1. They Double Coupons up to $.50, not only that but $.55 & $.75 coupons are bumped up to $1.00! How awesome is that!
2. They regularly markdown their produce, meat & dairy. They also clearance non-food items on a pretty regular basis. Check out my Dillons section to see what buys I scored there!
3. They have good sales every week, I can usually get at least 1 free item every week combining their sales ad with my coupons.
4. They occasionally have Store coupons that print out at the register and you can STACK them with manufacturer’s coupons, saving even more money (some of the coupons are mfg. qs which can’t be stacked). They also mail out coupon booklets periodically with both manufacturer’s coupons and store coupons .
5. They have the NICEST staff! They always have plenty of friendly staff there to help whenever you need them and they are always more than happy to help. It’s a refreshing change from some other stores I’ve been to!
6. They have their own loyalty/rewards card, it’s an easy signup. With the card, you get their Dillons sales prices. You’ll also get more coupons that print at the register (also known as “Catalinas”).  A few weeks ago, I even received a packet of coupons from them in the mail. I was so excited! It even had a FREE coupon included for a 2-liter bottle of 7-Up!
7. You can load E-Coupons onto your loyalty cards through these websites: Shortcuts.com, UPromise.com and Cellfire.com. And now Dillons has on their own site where you can load E-Coupons HERE. You simply sign up and with your Dillons card number, you select whichever coupons you want and these different sites load them onto your card. How great is that?!
8. A reader shared with me that her store in Springfield, MO accepts expired coupons up to 14 days after the expiration date, awesome. Be sure to check your nearest Dillons to see if they have this policy too, I know I’ll be checking mine the next time I go! (Thanks Stacey!)

Check out their website for the weekly ad, store locator and other great information HERE. I’ll be posting their best deals every week along with coupon matchups. If you have any other questions about Dillons, email me (click on the letter icon at the very top right of the page) , thanks!
