There is a Gerber cereal catalina currently running at Jewel (and other grocery stores like Albertson’s, Acme, Meijer, ShopRite & Stop & Shop):  Buy 2, get $1 cat, buy 3 get $2 cat, buy 4 or more (but why would you?) get a $3 cat.  This promotion is scheduled to run through October 4.

Any of the products that say “cereal” on the label seem to work, so I’ve been buying four of the jars pictured (3rd Foods) at 79¢ each, using two $1/2 coupons from 9/13 rp and getting back a $3 catalina.  Next transaction is the same, except I’ve got that pesky $1.82 overage to use up!  Such a problem to have…

If you prefer, the plastic tub two-packs (I paid $1.19 for mine) also work, but you end up with only 24¢ overage; still free and much better for tossing in a tote or diaper bag!

The Gerber jars were only 79¢ each, so I loaded up on fancy milk, chocolate cookies, tube biscuits – you know, essentials – with the overage.

In my store we don’t have glass jars but instead have plastic tubs, which work the same for this deal, but are slightly more expensive.  Buy four (I paid $1.19 each), use two of the $1/2 9/13 rp coupons) and out spits a $3 catalina.  Next transaction – in my case – gave me 24¢ overage, so a couple of bananas fit the bill.

Various Ice Mountain varieties are once again on a 3/$5 sale – – heck, they’re also part of the Nestle $20 savings deal this week — but I’d rather pay less and get more.  Buy three of the 12 oz 12-pks pictured and use three 75¢ coupons from 8/23 rp.  After tax you’ll pay $2.84…and get the $2.25 catalina pictured.  Next transaction is $2.84 less the $2.25 and you’re on a roll!

My Jewel has at least a pallet of this water, so if you’re having difficulty finding it, come on down!  Just what I need, another water deal.

Let’s just say it’s a good thing I kept those $1 tearpad coupons, since Torani (regularly priced $4.99) was a buck. Lots of organic sugar, tons of Progresso, Healthy Choice and Campbells soups and more, but no coupons and even a quarter is more than I want to spend on something I don’t need. Now if it were free or a moneymaker… This was the Lisle Jewel and yes, there’s still lots in the freezer endcap – couponless stuff like Glutino pizza and Amy’s products.

Spent $54 on Quorn non-chicken cutlets and nuggets, Eggo minis and Tom Tom tamales. Quorn were $1.50 and I have $1 coupons (peelies from boxes purchased with insert coupons), the Eggos were 75¢ and I’ll use the $1/2 from 8/2S – no coupons on the Tom Tom tamales, but they were only 10¢ (marked down from $1.19), so I’ll eat that part, or rather FirstBorn will!

The Eggos are in their own plastic baggies, so the boxes get tossed, the Quorn get split two packs to a quart freezer ziploc and the tamales don’t take up much space at all!

Walking through Osco on the off-chance I’d find a couple of clearance Clairol hair colors – nah – when I saw this large display just full of BIC pens at 3/$1. Since the 8/2S has a $1/2 coupon, we could be and were looking at some very nice overage.  Coupon reads Limit Four.

I’ve been in Jewel three days in a row now (a fact pointed out by two employees) and each time forgot to pick up $1.99 organic milk.  Since I have these BOGO Ruby Rocket printables and they’re BOGO at Jewel until the 23rd, figured I’d head over.  If they’re as nasty as I’ve read, Ruby Rocket can relaunch them as Preperation P! I found Swanson broth and cream starter on the clearance cart for 50¢ each.  Picked up quite a few at DT a few months ago (already?!) and used the ginger broth to infuse rice and the cream starter for mushroom soup.  omg, was that good!           

And here’s a couple of pictures I just had to shoot.  Jewel has been replacing tried and true brands (like Ice Mountain lime, lemon and wild cherry) with stange names like this one from Mexico.  Excuse me, but isn’t the first thing any visitor to Mexico is warned against is drinking the water?  Corporate must have really gotten this stuff cheap.  Or maybe it’s just for washing off your product of Mexico cilantro.
