Can you view ads ahead of time?

I live close to Peoria, IL and would like to view the ads ahead of time so I can order coupons. Does anyone know a site you can view these or what region we follow?

I'm guessing you're in the Central region, like me (I'm also in IL, a couple hours east of you). The grocery stores seem to guard their ads much more closely than the drugstores. I don't think I've ever seen an actual ad scan for our region before Tuesday (2 days before the new sale starts). You can kind of get an idea of what it will be by looking at an ad for a region that starts their sales on Sundays. When I want to get a peek at what's coming up, I look at the ad on Kroger's website for zip code 30033, since we used to live there and I know they start theirs on Sun. If you want to see it before Sun, I think someone who lives in another region usually posts a sneak peek in their own region's forum when they see the ad, so you could check there. Some of the prices do vary, especially on meat, produce, and dairy, but it gives you an idea of what's on sale. And if there's a mega event or something like that, the same items are usually included in both regions.

Hiya!
I usually check zip 49091 (Sturgis, MI) who posts their ad online on Tuesdays. This ad is almost completely the same as the ad that comes out on Thursdays in the Peoria, IL area. Usually, the only variances are on meat or produce. I find it very helpful since most times, the prices are the same in MI as here in IL, whereas things tend to be cheaper down South.
HTH!

I usually look at Troy, Missouri ad 63379.
