This week’s shopping list includes the best deals from the sales flyer that came in the Sunday paper, plus the coupons from a oupon booklet Cub Foods mailed out last week. That coupon booklet contains a nice coupon for a 5 cent Fuel Perks bonus with a $50 purchase. If you didn’t get one, there are booklets located at the main entrance and throughout the store minus the Fuel Perks.
Since 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) some of those referenced on this list are expired. 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.
Remember that this is a starting list of deals for the week. As readers leave comments with bargains they found at their local store or we get emails with deal ideas, we will update this list. Items that are added throughout the week will be noted as NEW. Items whose final price changes as a result of a new or modified coupon scenario will be noted as UPDATED. At least once this week we will send out a reminder to come back and check this list for the hottest new deals.
Your turn: What other deals are you aware of at Cub Foods this week?

About Carrie Rocha
On the home mailer, did anyone else get the $10/$50 purchase instead of a fuel perks reward as mentioned above?
I got the $10/$50 as well.
I didn’t get either :(
I got $5 off $50.
I didn’t get either coupon :( very bummed!!
For the DanActive and Activia I think there was a coupon in the 8/8SS for $1 off 1 when you buy a 4-pack.
There’s also some links for $1 printables in the Coupon Database.
For those of you who like to use up your expired coupons at CUB, here are some coupons to match the above list:
Dannon Cups: 6/6SS and 6/13SS
Ben & Jerrys Cups: 6/6RP and 8/15RP
Weber Grilling Marinade: 5/23SS
Nestle Pure Life Water: 4/11RP
Cottonelle Toilet Tissue: 4/18SS and 5/23SS
Revlon Cosmetics: 5/2SS and 6/27SS
Activia: 7/18SS
Tostitos: buy dip and use 4/25SS
Hope that helps someone!
SarahBeth – Thanks (as always)!
i also have a $.75/2 for Breyers ice cream that expired 7/25.
For the cinnabon cereal rebate, there’s also a dollar off coupon in this past weekend’s Parade magazine.
I didn’t get the fuel coupon or the $10/$50, I wonder why?
I got additional coupons on my cub ad this week for some great deals, like 1lb hamburger .88. Did anyone else get these???
I saw that coupon in the ad that I picked up in the store today. It is 75/25 hamburger
The Fresh Express Artisanal Salads were not included in the sale. I was just going to tell the cashier I didn’t want them, but she kindly honored the coupon because they did not have the salads clearly marked for which bags were included in the sale so she didn’t see why the coupon wouldn’t apply. They were the same price as the other Fresh Express salads. This was at the Shoreview location.
I got coupons in my ad for $0.88 hamburger and ball park hot dogs. I had $0.75/2 ball parks making them $0.51. I despise hotdogs but my husband loves them and ball parks are his favorite so he was pretty happy about that deal.
Where is the ball park coupon?
None of the skinny cow coupons are working. The two links seem broken and I can’t locate on facebook. Advice anyone?
for the fruit snack deal, i did it today and got nothing >:( has anyone else tried it and if so what cub?
The East Bloomington Cub has Del Monte Redy-to-Blend Fruit Smoothies on sale for 10 for $10. Combine that with the $1 off two coupon Cub has been handing out and it makes for a great deal. 50 cents each.
There were also a lot of Manager’s Specials in the cracker/cookie aisle that I used expired coupons for. It was a great trip!
FYI – I went to get the 4 packs of eggos with both coupons and found that buying 2 of the large packages with the dollar off coupon actually saved me $2 and I got more waffles!
Look for a shiny coupon booklet at Cub Foods…. It is yellow/orange and says “Over $18 in savings inside”. I found it by the other weekly flyers and coupon booklets in Apple Valley’s Cub on Cedar. Assuming it is probably available at all Cubs.
Lots of good coupons…. mostly $1 off…… Motts Apple Sauce, Dannon Smoothies/Crush Cups, or Coolision product, Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers, Kraft Mac N Cheese, Maxwell House or Yuban coffee, Hillshire Far Lunchmeats/Cocktail Links, Nature’s Pride bread, Wonder Bread, Kraft Dressing, Kraft Miracle Whip/Mayo, Tyson Entrees, Tyson Frozen Breaded product, Banquet Dinners, Snack Pack Pudding.
Thanks, Lucy!
