There’s a full page ad in today’s Trib with more items showing – I’m hoping the larger shrimp are there because I still have one $15 Flavor Adventure meat/seafood coupon to use (FirstBorn paid me $20 for the one plus $5 Fresh Pass offer – cash is king!). Luckily frozen pizza doesn’t count for that one because that’s pretty much all he eats – the hots dogs were an anomaly.
The new Jewel ad shows four varieties of Reign Storm Energy Drinks (12 oz cans) as the Jewel Saturday Sampler which you’ll be able to add to your U™ account on Saturday for redemption by Monday (I’ll post again on Saturday). Name’s a little too chi-chi for me. Included the frozen pizzas, ’cause we all have Flavor Adventure coupons to use up!
What I’ll do differently next year? Run the game first thing in the morning. Stop after 5 or 6 plays, log out and in to avoid getting kicked off and losing something good. Zip to pick a $$ deal after completing all lands – coupons go fast and if you stop to think (or take a screenshot), you’ll lose out on a big chunk of cash.
Pick luckier tokens, ’cause Cheese and Sushi seemed incapable of winning mini-games 🙂
Out and about when we decided to check the Downers Grove Jewel for more clearance coffee. Worked out the ratio: 25% flavored mixed into dark roast plus an extra scoop for a great taste. There was a Boars Head sampling and they had a huge assortment of food – that was lunch 🙂 Got 12 cans (2025 date) and four bottles of the Field & Farmer ranch dressing (11/23 date). We’ve had this brand quite often and for something that’s normally $5, I’ll take it. They had lots of those, but since it requires refrigeration, we’re limited. OOP was $29.51.
On the way back we saw a Lisle garage sale, so naturally we had to stop. Everything in the pictures came to $8.50. While I still have lots of hair color I’ve been donating to the food pantry, Pita likes the super-light blonde shades and the CHI one is a new brand for us. The green screen is 5×7 so between this and the ring light I might have a whole new side hustle 🙂 I’ve been looking at wireless chargers and the one patio cushion exploded its guts out, so a $2.50 new replacement fit nicely in the budget. New cell case with slot for cards. I’m telling you, this was a garage sale filled with everything I could ever need. Even tap and jazz shoes, although they were size 5, which is even too small for Pita!
