Stopped at Jewel for some Coke – Firstborn complains that PITA drinks his so a possibility here of shutting his pie hole… yeah, slim, I know.

Certain grocery stores had sales ads this week containing Coke ($3) and Pepsi ($2) product manufacturer coupons; I know Westbook Market and Pete’s did, while Valli’s had a store coupon. If you clip out the $3 Coke coupon and use it at Jewel, you’ll get four 12-packs for $5 (sale price of $8 less the $3 coupon). I didn’t need to spend the $20 extra to get the $2 price, either – price dropped at the $20 threshold which included the Coke.

Total OOP was $13.86.

Thank you for asking… Jewel has Pasta Prima on sale 2/$4. Use the $1 coupon from 5/05 S.  A regional coupon, it was luckily in the Chicago Tribune.  So we’re dining on lobster ravioli and butternut ravioli (four packs) with fresh asparagus on the side.  Total OOP of maybe $5.

This high-value $2 off any Mars ice cream products has no size restrictions, so you can use it on the current $3 sale on 3-pk Dove bars at Jewel.  It was 50¢ cheaper at Ultra the other week, so If you want to wait, the expiration date isn’t until 7/31.  However, I would not put off printing…

If you only print this one coupon, you’ll also get a big picture of their ice cream products.

So I dressed up in a borrowed Blackhawk jersey and hit up Jewel for the Yakisoba noodles. Remember, after the 10% hockey discount, you are paying -1¢, which is a frownie-face transaction.  So to use up that horrid overage, I was forced to purchase the pictured items.  How many noodles did I buy?  You do the math.

The Challenge butter is 2/$5 through tomorrow, the 16th.  There were $1 coupons in non-blinkies at some stores recently, so if you took any, you’re down to $1.50 a pound.   Wish I’d seen those coupons!  I’m gonna be picking up some, since I want to replace my flood butter – all 38 pounds – and I’m gonna have to pray for an insert coupon in the next 60 days.

Okay, Rachel, I just knew you’d say something…here’s a photo PITA just took.

Lisle Jewel got cases of boneless, skinless chicken breast with short code dates, so they put them all out at $1.50/lb! I took 20.

The Jewel brand sausages (bratwurst, Italian and Polish) were also going for cheap – $2.25 A PACKAGE! And yes, I got lots of those, too.

So I spent about $100, but since I missed out on the Zaycon chicken event, at least I’ll be set for pretty much the rest of the year.

I forgot to post the picture.  This is in a decent-sized tub, not the plastic bag.  

Right now you can get 10 oz packages of Land O Frost lunch meat for only 99¢ when you use the $1 coupon in the 5/12 rp.  These are the minis – which pretty much look like Lunchable or party tray size meats – and are on a price break through June 9.

That’s pretty cheap and a great way to rebuild or start your own stockpile.

That’s right, we’re back in business with this deal at Jewel:  Butler GUM toothbrushes are part of the 10/$10 deal in today’s sales ad.  Just so happens that there’s a $1 off Butler GUM oral care products coupon in the 5/19S1 insert (in the Chicago area it’s the Sweet Baby Ray cover).  Sale runs through Wednesday, so either get your rain checks now or pay in advance or buy and return with your coupons.  Either way you get freesies to use or trade for stuff like paper towels!
