Smart tools to stretch your grocery dollars
Flipp: scan weekly ads and stack savings
Flipp remains a top tool to “supercharge your savings on groceries, electronics and more.” Use it to browse the best deals and the latest weekly ads from local stores, compare prices across chains, and clip digital coupons before shopping.
Mariano’s app: occasional big wins
Mariano’s and Trader Joe’s are both staples here in Chicago. Mariano’s app can sometimes save quite a bit depending on that week’s sales—check the Mariano’s app for member-only prices, personalized coupons, and digital rewards before you shop.
Store spotlights and current local specials
Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s keeps steady value on pantry staples, seasonal produce, and ready-to-eat items. For quick midweek trips, Trader Joe’s remains a reliable spot for affordable specialty ingredients and private-label essentials.
Mariano’s
Mariano’s remains a go-to full-service grocery for both everyday items and weekly sale events. Remember to open the Mariano’s app prior to checkout—app-only prices and digital coupons can be the difference on pricier items like seafood, prepared foods, and premium dairy.

Practical shopping tips for this week
Compare the weekly ads
- Pull up Flipp or the store apps and compare Mariano’s app deals vs. Trader Joe’s listed prices for items you buy frequently. Mariano’s member prices can beat regular shelf tags.
Shop the in-store-only specials first
- Indiaco’s Diwali Sale and Rajula’s Kitchen carryout offers are in-store and carryout specific—that means you’ll want to shop those locations in person to claim the listed savings.
Time your visit
- If you’re using the flyer that lists “Prices effective: March 25th,” verify whether offers are still valid today—many items are “while supplies last.”
Keep receipts and note restrictions
- Many local flyers explicitly state offers cannot be combined and are subject to change. Save receipts and compare the final price to advertised sale terms in case of discrepancies.
