Post update: Giving away more free pet food at Jewel!

Photo.jpgReturned to Jewel with all my coupons – you can see the total written by customer service on the bottom. Forgot to mention the real reason I bought the Post Raisin Bran for FirstBorn – there was a FREE milk coupon (up to $4) in the 2/9 S. That basically only scored me a half gallon because every store in a six county area seems to be out of organic milk! So add the 1/2 gallon to my earlier total of 29¢

I’m too lazy to list all the coupon inserts, so just use the handy-dandy Find a Coupon tab on the top of the page. I keep it open when shopping so I’m already to spring for a deal!

First of all, thanks so much to the reader for this alert because this is NOT my Lisle Jewel, but the one in Downers Grove called the Saratoga store (it’s on the Ogden/Saratoga corner).  In total I got 9 bags of Beneful at $1.99 each (will return with $2 coupons), 3 bags of PurinaOne for $2.10 ($3 coupons), Iams cat food for $1.49 ($2 printable on P&G site), 8 packs of Friskies treats at 40¢ each ($1/2 coupons in several inserts).  Lots of cans of Friskies wet food, Iams Healthy dry bags, Mom’s AND Grandma’s down to $2.50 (?), but no coupons, so no purchase.  Also lots of both cat and dog food Be Happy, the Purina brand, but no coupons and I really stocked up on those at Dominicks when there were valid coupons!  Happy hunting!  I grabbed a couple of boxes of Raisin Bran for FirstBorn, who is convinced we have no food in the house.  Hates Reese’s Puff, Cheerios (both plain and PB), Shredded Wheat (both original and honey nut), Cocoa Krispies…well, you get the idea.  Oh, also a pack of corn tortillas.

The tables in the back of the store also held stacks of Brawny single rolls for 50¢ each and the two-packs of the Bounty Dura-towels that were so free at Meijer (I loved those!), but I think they were $1.25 and there are only 25¢ available…and let’s face it, I’m not exactly running low on paper towels these days!

OOP was $35.75 ($33.29 subtotal) and paid with my Staples VISA card.  I’ll return with $33 in coupons.  

Growing Up Fisher, new NBC comedy (watch preview)

Since I ran the ad for the online program “Food Patriots,” figured I’d toss in one for the commercial side, too!   Wait, does that mean I’m playing for the other team now?

NBC’s premiere of a new comedy “Growing Up Fisher” runs on Tuesday nights, but the premiere episode – shown without commercial interruption – is Sunday, February 23, 2014 at 10:38 p.m. ET/PT (after the Olympics closing ceremony).  “Growing Up Fisher” is a comedy and semi-real enough to resemble your own family ( Says it was inspired by his own family) The story follows 11-year-old Henry Fisher (Eli Baker) and his atypical family, his parents’ divorce, and the arrival of his blind father’s guide dog, Elvis (Peyton).  If a dog named Elvis isn’t enough to get you hooked, watch the (I counted six) “Growing Up Fisher” teasers here.

Get your ProPlan plus overage!

Here’s a few more coupons to add to your total – once you’re at $25 you’ve scored more overage!  Remember, Big Box Pet Stores all accept each other’s store coupons (they’re getting nasty about the freebies, though).

Here’s the check for the rebate submitted in early January and the post that explains it.

Nutro has a rebate offer (up to $39.99) for their 15 pound bags of dry dog food. Here’s the link to the Nutro site with the rebate form.  I also used $5 off of $25 coupons from Petco (PetsuppliesPlus accepts other store’s coupons), but this coupon is only valid this weekend.  The receipt must be dated between December 30th and February 2nd and postmarked by February 16th.

Staples – 2nd week of $2 a case paper after rebate & coupon

Well once again,   Print two coupons and get your limit.  Although I can’t imagine anyone needing more paper and having to pay for it…unless you’re running a business.

And why do they run these paper deals week after week?  Because most people do not submit the rebate!  To give credit to Staples, they have a super-easy online rebate form that only involves a couple of steps with all information right there on the receipt.  easy-peasy

Starbucks Gold member? Check your reward calendar

I’ve heard that Starbucks will be offering a code for a free bagel on Thursday, February 6 for some Gold members.  This is definitely a ymmv deal; if it’s like their recent promotions, it will probably target non-breakfast buyers.
Note that these promotions are pretty much restricted to stand-alone locations – -Target store Starbucks don’t carry bagels (at least none I’ve checked out).
