Heads up Dillons shoppers! Yet another Mega Event Sale will be coming up in a few days and will be running for 2 weeks. I dont know all the details yet, but it looks like there’s going to be a lot of great deals with this one! The above printed out for me at the register on my last trip and says “Double Your Savings! Save $3.00 Instantly (with your shopper’s card) and Save $3.00 later (this will be a catalina good on your next shopping trip) From February 16 to March 1, 2011 when you purchase 10 participating items. Good on these brands & many others. Look for specially marked tags through-out the store.” You can also go HERE you can take a look at what some of the participating items will be. I am in the midst of gathering information right now, so stay tuned for more Dillons updates!

My Dillons Deals 2/11 (All for $6.48!)

So, my last trip to Dillons was very informative. My store is now auto-adjusting coupons so that there is no longer any overage with coupons (my store is in Southwest Missouri). For example, before, if I bought lunchmeat on sale for $0.88 and had a $0.75 coupon, the coupon would automatically double to $1.00. Now, on this last trip, the coupons are adjusting so as not to allow the overage. Has anyone else noticed this in their recent Dillons trips? Here’s a breakdown of my transaction:

  • 2 Kettle Chips 9 oz. (big bags), Marked down to $1.79 ea., Used $1.00/2 IP (no longer available, there’s also a $1.00/1 coupon from the 1/30 RP insert, but I didn’t have any of those)
  • 2 Garden of Eatin’ Chips, Marked down to $1.19, Used 2 $1.00/1 coupons from HERE
  • 2 Oscar Mayer Bologna $0.88 ea., Used 2 $0.75/1 tearpad coupons (see note below)
  • 5 Colgate Toothpaste $0.98 ea., Used 5 $0.75/1 coupons from the 1/9 SS insert (see note below)
  • McCormick Taco Seasoning $0.99, Used $0.75/1 coupon from the 1/2 RP insert (expired 2/6, my Dillons accepts expired coupons up to 2 weeks & see note below)
  • Dillons Milk 2% Half Gallon, Marked down to $1.36
  • 7Up 2 Liter $0.88
  • Dillons Buns $1.00
  • Final Cost $6.48

I took a picture of my receipt so that will hopefully demonstrate a bit better what I’m referring to. As the receipt shows, it didn’t auto-adjust each coupon, but it auto-adjusted at the end of the the receipt with the last few coupons. I know it looks crazy, I scratched my head over it for a few minutes, and I’m not sure how the register comes up with these totals in its computer brain, but the math ads up. It ended up not deducting $0.35 and that’s how much the overage would have been had all the coupons automatically doubled to $1.00. I hope that makes sense! 😕 Now, while I’m disappointed in this recent change, it certainly won’t prevent me from shopping at Dillons in the future. I mean, where else could I get all that for less than 7 bucks!? The Kettle Chips alone were $3.79 each before they were marked down! Dillons is still my favorite place to grocery shop, it still beats every store in my area hands down when it comes to their sales, markdowns & frequent mega event deals. It’s also the only grocery store in my area that has a shopper’s Card with eCoupons, that has catalina deals, that doubles coupons over $0.50 ($0.55 to $1.00 etc) & that also accepts expired coupons up to 2 weeks (I hope this stays the same & that they don’t make any further changes). I’m curious, where is everybody else’s favorite place to grocery shop? Feel free to leave a comment below, I’d love hear from my readers out there.

Here’s a quick transaction I did a few days ago at Walgreens:

  • Neuragen $14.99, Used $10.00/1 coupon from the Walgreens Diabetes & You Magazine, Winter issue and got back $10.00 RR (this is a monthly RR deal, good through 2/26 & if you don’t see the D&Y magazine at the pharmacy, ask. I went to a Walgreens that didn’t have any out and I asked the pharmacy and they had some behind the counter).

  • Valentine’s Pencil with topper (isn’t it cute?) 😉

UPDATE: Expired.

Red Plum has several new coupons you can print on their site (you’ll need to go through this link, they’re not on the regular Red Plum page). These are all Target Store Coupons, so you can stack them with manufacturer’s coupons to really maximize your savings. All the ones I printed expire 3/13/11, so plenty of time to use them. Print them right away though, they probably won’t last long:

  • $1.00 off two Bertolli Pasta Sauce 15 or 24 oz.
