Dillons 10/29-11/4

Sorry for the delay in posting these! Remember I am posting the "best buys" of the week. My goal is to always beat Aldi since they are the "cheapest" in food prices among all grocery retailers... even Walmart!
  • Fresh Ground beef is 1.99/lb! I stock up at this price. Read my tips about saving on meat here!
  • 1 gal of Dillons milk=2.99 (Aldi has varied lately but has been about 2.91/gal.)
  • 4 lb. bag of Kroger Sugar=1.69. (Aldi 5 lb. bags have been 1.99 and this actually a better deal)
  • Pilgram's pride 3lb. bags of frozen chicken breasts=5.97. (beats Aldi price of 5.99)
  • Pillsbury crescent or sweet rolls are 3/$5. Use .25/1 mf crescent roll coupon doubled along with the .50/1 shortcuts.com coupon to get these for .66/1! (beats Aldi price). Use .30/1 sweet roll coupon doubled along with the .50/1 shortcuts.com coupon to get those for .56/1! (beats Aldi price).
  • Hot pockets and Kellogs poptarts are 3/$5. Use .50/1 hot pockets coupon to get these for .67/1!. Use .55/1 coupon for poptarts to get these for .67/1 also!
  • Purex Laundry detergent=1.99/1. Use .50/1 coupon (expires 10/31) to get this for .99!

Hi! I have a quick question. Do you do most of your shopping at Aldi and then supplement with good deals from Dillons, etc? I am just curious as I have never shopped Aldis but am considering doing the majority of my shopping there instead of Walmart. I hopefully have made sense with my question.

Thanks for coupon Cara!

Hi Mandy-
Usually I can find great mark downs at Dillons that I am supplementing with Hy-Vee and Aldi. But when I am not finding great mark downs on bread/fruit/milk I do most of my shopping at Aldi.

I am sure there are some things that are cheaper at Walmart b/c of coupons, however on average Aldi tends to be 20% less than Walmart.

HOpe that helps!

Shannon,
Thanks for answering so quickly. I am new to couponing and shopping by sales. I have always just shopped at Walmart and used a few coupons here and there. Now I am trying to use the money God gave me a little more wisely and am trying to learn all I can. Thanks again for your blog. It has been a great help.

Yoplait yogurt is on sale for $.50. With the $.60/3 whips or .50/6 coupons doubled, the yogurt would be .16 or .33.
It's a little late in the week, but I'm stopping after church. I love the variety of flavors with Yoplait yogurt.

I love this blog. I have used the suggestions over the last couple of months to really save money. Thank You!!
I have a question...does anyone know how to sign up to receive the Dillon's mailer? I shop there a lot but have never gotten one.

Shannon said...

Tish- I actually had to call Dillons customer service to request these coupons. They say you get them by shopping there, however I had already been shopping there for 5 years and had never seen a single coupon mailer! So just call the customer service number on your card and request to receive their coupon mailers

Tish said...

Thank you so much Shannon - I will call them!
For anyone that uses Goody hair products Dillon's has them on sale 2/$4 and there is a coupon at:
