Dillons: 9/1-9/6

Here are the best deals I see for the week. I only post the items that I think are a good deal and I determine this by considering the Aldi price. Therefore, you will not just see couponable items in this post.

**Don't forget to load your CELLFIRE e-coupons and be sure to check COUPONS.COM and RED PLUM for any NEW coupons!**

For questions regarding Dillons or if you don't understand some of the terms I use then please read the Dillons FAQ page HERE! If you still have questions please email me and I would be happy to answer!!!

All prices posted assume the coupon has doubled and I use this site here in compiling the coupon dates. All other information, such as Aldi's price, is from my memory bank:)

New Coupon Policy for Dillons?

**Posts will be up later than usual due to me being out of town today**

It seems that there is a lot of hype going around about Dillons changing their coupon policy. Most of this information has come from store cashiers. I will be honest and tell you that I never trust a cashier or a store manager and always call the corporate office on big issues like this. This may sound harsh, but I have been told too much false information to believe otherwise.

That being said, I have been in contact with our Kansas corporate office for Dillons. It seems that a new coupon policy was created without permission within the operations department. I have been assured that the coupon policy has NOT and will not change!

The one change we can expect is new technology to be put in place to ensure that no e-coupons are stacked with paper coupons. I have been told that this is still in the process and it will take a while.

If you are reading posts about this "new coupon policy change" please email them to me. I would like to send them to KS corporate so they can address it. Thanks!

Hy-Vee: MM Cereal Scenario!

Okay. This cereal deal at Hy-Vee is pretty awesome! Now I know I don't need the 24 boxes of cereal that are sitting right beside me as I type this. I did, however, make $16 buying them! Since I don't NEED all this cereal a great local food bank will be receiving much of it.

Below are a few deals you can do at Hy-Vee through the end of the day tomorrow. I am going to encourage my readers to also give away any cereal that you don't NEED, yet have accumulated from this awesome sale and others in the previous weeks. Email me if you need ideas where to give it... I have plenty!

Scenario #1
Buy 6 boxes of cereal that is $2.49 (those include small portions of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Golden Grams, Trix, Plain Cheerios, Cocoa Buffs, Boo Berry, Count Chochula)

Total - $14.94
-$10/6 in-ad coupon
- 3 $1/2 GM cereal coupons printed here or from 8/22 SS

New Total with coupons- $1.94 and get a $6 catalina back to use on a future purchase. You just made $4.06! You will also get a $2/5 boxes of GM cereal coupon too!

New total if you have NO coupons- $4.94 and get a$6 catalina back... still is a $1.04 money maker!

Now... just continue to roll your catalina! Yes, you can use this catalina on another cereal purchase, and you will continue to get the $6 catalina back and more $2/5 coupons too!

There are other cereals that are apart of this deal that you can get for VERY cheap by following the same scenario above. Here are some other prices I know.

Chex Cereal (I stocked up for Christmas time!) - $3.09
Other Cheerios flavors (fruity, honey nut, multi-grain - $3.79
Fiber One Cereal - $3.99

HAVE FUN!

Hy-Vee: GM DEAL MONEY MAKER!
