more Monopoly freebies @ Jewel today

b9f86707-8628-4cd2-b29f-da50b850b325

Free Danimals 6-pk and a StarKist 2.6 oz pouch.  Three tins of clearance cart oil at $2.25 each.  Wanted to make sure Osco was aware of the various Fructis coupons in the 4/24 rp, since new coupon + sale + instant savings always attract average shoppers.  And yes, I know that doesn’t apply to us!

Tomorrow starts the Jewel BOGO on pork products, so I’ll be stopping by early enough to grab some boneless country ribs for the Crock Pot.

My current big Jewel Monopoly wins…not

Seriously?  Given the incredible number of tickets PITA has opened, this is the best Jewel can come up with?  Maybe they should go back to only having Monopoly at Jewel stores and not combine with other states/chains – – we seem to be getting the fuzzy end of the lollypop.

Triple (losing) Monopoly pieces

c4bad475-1931-47a3-8fed-d6880be09159Since the past few days at Jewel have been triple Monopoly tickets, I’ve amassed quite a pile!  Unfortunately, even with all the shopping I’ve done at Jewel over the past month or so, I have only won two packets of taco seasoning and a box of DD K cups, none of which were retained.  Not only haven’t I won anything of significance, no one I’ve spoken to has heard of any decent winners during this promotion, compared to prior years.  All you seem to win are more tickets!

Free Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo & Conditioner

b23413a3-d4ad-4eae-88df-cbe7941da7fa

Three Fructis and two Garnier Whole Blends products equal $17, which triggers the $5 Instant Savings promotion at Jewel.  Use the BOGO coupon from 4/17 S, three $2 Fructis coupons and one $2 Garnier coupon, both from 4/10 rp and your subtotal will be ZERO.  I paid 87¢ high tax.  boo!

Free & Cheap Shampoo returns!

The Fructis Garnier instant $5 Savings wyb $15 in products starts Wednesday…and since it’s Wednesday somewhere in the world, it’s working at Jewel now! I ran this three ways:
b4fd5b90-9c20-4513-86fa-b3aedbdd78e4First one is the same deal as last time, five Fructis shampoos and/or conditioners at $3 each and pay tax after the instant savings and $2 coupons from 4/10 rp.08c5d6fa-9106-49de-8b08-1979ea124fca

Buy four Fructis and one Garnier Whole Blends, use the 4/10 rp $2 coupons plus the $2 Whole Blends coupon from 4/3 rp and pay a buck plus tax.

Like this stuff a whole heap of a lot?  Buy four, use the four $2 coupons from 4/3 rp and pay $3 plus tax.

And the main topic of conversation at Jewel today was not that I was running deals, but that I’d spent $20 yesterday.  Well, naturally I had to tell them about the clearance teas I grabbed!  Worked out to be about $4 a pound…

Jewel – oh my! – clearance shopping

Stopped at Jewel/Osco to check out the Almay B1G1 50% off deal, given the $4 coupon in the 4/10 S, but frankly, the high tax eats up all the overage, so it doesn’t make a whole heap of sense, unless you actually need more eye shadow or mascara (more $$).

But since I was there, I gravitated towards the clearance cart and was pleasantly (okay, shocked!) to see all the fancy-pants teas for 50¢ (Tiesta Tea) to a buck (Celestial Tea House, not pictured)!7d8aeee1-3233-49fd-934c-758c6581335c

Quarts of EE olive oil for only $2.50 and Maxwell House International Cafe in several varieties for 75¢.  The cafe was marked on the front how you could also use it as a creamer…disgusting… which given how much I adulterate my coffee is saying something!

Monster Matzos 4 Less @ Jewel!

04bf6646-4576-4a13-8adb-5501916552af

Actually, these five pound boxes of Manischewitz are FREE with the coupon in the weekly Jewel ad and/or the new Big Book of Crap Savings.  Buy one box marked $14.99 on the shelf and $12.99 comes off as a promotional discount.  Use the $2 mfr coupon and pay low tax. You have to run multiple transactions to get the discounted price because $12.99 only comes off the first one.  It’s rough finding these crackers – I’ve been to lots of different Jewels and either found nothing or very limited Passover products (this was the Lombard Jewel on Roosevelt).  These boxes have five individual boxes, each of which has three bags with six matzos each, so you don’t have to worry about them going stale, although how you’d tell the difference from fresh ones I couldn’t say.

What can you do with this pretty bland cracker?  Well, there’s always squirrels and birds to feed, but if you’re looking for recipes, there are some ugly ones and tasty ones online.  I like these ones from Shape ’cause they include candy, cake, soup and more.

Jewel cat shopping…not the feline variety

Three cases Ice Mountain 12pks plus two Wet n Wild eye shadows less $1.50 OYNO Cat from prior transaction less three $1 Ice Mountain coupons plus two 75¢ Wet ‘n Wild coupons give you an OOP of 16¢ and generate four pieces.  Rinse and repeat.  you don’t even want to know how many sparkling waters are in my basement…
