Cub Foods Shopping List 3/14 – 3/20/10

You’ll notice that many of the coupons referenced on this list are expired; that’s okay because Cub Foods stores accept manufacturer-issued coupons up to 3 months past their expiration date (and in some cases up to 5 or 6 months past).

If you are new to Pocket Your Dollars, then learn to read this shopping list. If you are having issues, troubleshoot problems printing coupons here.

    Thanks for getting the lists out so quickly- you made my night!
    btw-Nature Pride bread site says no prints available

  2. MichelleP

    Late night for you Carrie, thanks for working so hard. You must have been tired, you’ve got the Hunts tomato sauce in the freezer! ;)

    1. Kierstien

      i was going to say the same thing!

  3. Gloria

    I have been having a hard time with other stores accepting the manufacture coupons from Cub. One store told me that the manufacture has a deal with Cub and no one else thus they can’t accept it…Even though it say’s manufacture and just has on the side may be used at Cub. Has anyone else run into this? Thanks

    1. Stacy

      I know that the last batch of in ad manuf. q’s that cub put out were hard for other stores because they were set for Cubs prices. For example it was buy 2 pasta sauces for $4, but the coupon was set to take off so much money and another store would have to manually change prices to make the coupons work. These ones, however, are workable they tell you exactly how much is being taken off.

    Carrie – Regarding your comment, “All coupons located on the back page of the Cub ad – price reflects cost after coupon. Since these are manufacturer-issued coupons that are not restricted to Cub Foods you can use them at other stores or clip them and use them in future weeks at Cub, since they accept expired coupons.”
    My Cub (Forest Lake) wouldn’t accept these after the original expiration date (A couple of weeks ago, I tried using the Skippy coupons from Jan.) I even had the Supervisor come over who said ‘Even though they are a Mfg coupon, we don’t get reimbursed on these after the expiration date.’ So they wouldn’t let me use them.

    1. Valerie Y

      Thank you for sharing about this with us.

    2. Angela

      I’ve had mixed results even at the same store. One cashier went as far as to tell me to do it in lieu of a raincheck once. This past week, I was not allowed to do it.

    3. Holly

      Mine wouldn’t either (shakopee) tried to argue that it is a man coupon and should, but she wouldn’t budge.

  5. Anita

    I thought the Betty Crocker fruit snack catalina went until the 20th? I’ll look it up and repost.

    1. Anita

      Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks between 2/22 and 3/21
      (Shapes, Fruit by the foot, Gushers, Roll ups, Stickerz)

      Buy 3 and get $1.50
      Buy 4 and get $2.50
      Buy 5 or more and get $3.50 OYNO catalina

      Not as good a deal compared to when they were $0.99/box but our school just sent a note home asking for fruit snacks, 380 to be exact!

  6. Anita

    Carrie- where is the coupon in the bag of cuties? I have NEVER seen a coupon?

    1. Amy R.

      Hi Anita,
      I’ve always have received a coupon in my bag of cuties. Usually $1 off a box or $0.55 off a bag. I just bought a box last night and the coupon was in there.

  7. Cheryl

    Carrie – I had $28 in catalinas for Cub that expired on Saturday that I forgot to use, do they take expired catalinas, like they do coupons? Oh, I hope so. . .Thanks!

    1. Kimm

      My experience is that a Catalina is a Mfg coupon – so Cub DOES take them up to 3 mo past the expiration date.

      1. Cheryl

        Thanks Kimm!

    2. Angela

      I used an expired one today at the Cub by my house. I just added it to the pile and the cahsier didn’t say anything.

  8. MichelleP

    There’s no way to delete them, Melissa, don’t worry, we’ll just ignore you! ;)

  9. MichelleP

    I have looked through it three times, and am not finding the Lysol cleaner coupon in the 3/14 SmartSource insert. Anyone else?

    1. Angela

      They are right dab in the middle of the insert. The $1 off ones are for the disinfectant spray and wipes. The $.50 coupons are for the other cleaners.

  10. Angela

    I bought 4 post cereals today @ $1.78 but did not get a coupon for $3 off my next purchase.

  11. Kim

    I found another great deal (at least I think it was great). The Red Gold canned tomatoes (28 oz size) are Cub Q for 85 cents each–limit 6 (that’s 54 cents each off shelf price) plus manufacturer coupon $1 off 3 cans (used 2 of these coupons). So, final price is 52 cents per can for the largest size of tomatoes.

    1. Sherry

      The Cub in Elk River posted that the Red Gold tomatoes featured in the ad was a misprint….not the 28oz but the smaller can…… :O(

  12. Bonnie

    Both SmartSource and RedPlum books are different in the St Paul and Mpls papers…the Strib has the better coupon books. Many times you will not find a coupon in Pioneer Press but it will be in the Strib.

  13. Haila

    My Cub had Pampers Cruisers jumbos on sale for $6.99. Paired with the $2 coupon in
    the 2/21 P&G insert and they are $4.99.

  14. Nicole

    I also bought 4 boxes of Post cereals for $1.78 each and never received the $3 off your next order coupon.

  15. Karen

    My Cub (Mankato, MN) had a TON of deals in the clearance section today. I hope yours does too. There were L’Oreal kids shampoos for 95 cents (had $1/2 q), 65 cent Suave Shampoos and Conditioners ($1/2 q), $1.49 Benadryll sprays ($1/1), $2.49 Curl defining product Frizzease from John Freida ($2/2), $1.49 Head and Shoulders Conditioners ($1/1), $1.37 Gillette shampoos ($1/1), $7 febreeze flameless luminary starter kits ($4/1 q)–future xmas gifts, . I am sorry I don’t keep track of which inserts the coupons are in but maybe that database can help you out if you file the way Carrie does.

  16. Dana

    The Post cereal $3.00 OYNO is still working at the Cub in Rogers. I did it today.

  17. Lisa

    The catalina did work for the Post cereals but at my store only HBO Cinnamon was for $1.78. Did anyone else encounter this??

    Thanks!

  18. Teresa

    Thomas English muffin coupon $1/1 March All You Mag

  19. Kathy

    The reason some of the Cub stores take expired coupons is whether they are a franchise store or a corporate one. The corporate Cub stores take the expired coupons but the franchise ones don’t. I know the Maplewood location on White Bear and Gervais is corporate but the one in Sun Ray shopping is not. Ask at the customer service desk to find out which it is at the one you shop.

  20. sophie

    Can someone pease tell me what these mean;
    oyno?
    Q ?
    q’s ?
    perhaps you could emails, me at laverne_shirley44@yahoo.com because I can’t ever seem to find the response to any of my emails.

    1. Laura Wales

      Sophie – “oyno” = “on your next order”, “Q” and “q’s” are “coupon” and “coupons”. Hope this helps!
