Here is the list of all participating GM cereals:  Honey Nut or Multi-Grain Cheerios; Lucky Charms or Golden Grahams; Cocoa or Reese’s Puffs; Cinnamon or Frosted Toast Crunch; Cookie Crisp, Trix or Kix.

Starting this Thursday (18th) Jewel will be running a Buy 4 GM cereals and get them for $1.75 each promotion.   That’s not even a horrible price (compared to the olden days), but we can make it so much better… with coupon!  I’ve listed the multi-grain coupon but don’t know/think it’s part of the deal but if it is or they substitute you’re prepared.  just like the  Scouts…

Jewel also has a $1 store coupon for one box of any flavor Cheerios – coupon expires on the 19th.  Coupon reads one coupon per customer per transaction, so ymmv.   SavingStar has a 50¢ one-time only coupon, so add that one, too!  You can also add a 50¢ to your Jewel card – but be warned that the site takes forever and I don’t know if both paper and ecoupons will come off.

SavingStar is a program that not only allows you to use paper coupons as you normally would, but the value of all digital coupons added and redeemed gets entered into your SavingStaraccount.  At a $5 threshold you can request payouts into direct deposit, paypal, amazon gift card, or donate to charity.

I tried to make the deal that much sweeter by adding any ecoupons to my Fuel Rewards card, but nothing showed up within 50 miles (the max) of many, many zip codes (but since using Fuel Rewards coupons removes them from SavingStar, it’s a non-starter).  Goddess is just never satisfied...Do NOT wait to print these coupons because Goddess is no longer listening to the whiners who put off printing until the limit was capped…

Been hearing about good deals and crummy deals – some stores are apparently confused about the concept of clearing out stuff on the cheap.  Heard that the Danada Jewel in Wheaton had half an aisle full of clearance…well, they did earlier!

Here is a very, very small pile of stuff – the tic tacs and almond butter are for Rachel…I don’t ask and she doesn’t tell.  The almond butter was only $2.25!  I stocked up on my favorite gum in the world:  Extra Dessert Gum in Apple Pie and Key Lime Pie.  I’d never been able to find the Key Lime cheap and wasn’t willing to pay full boat.  and now?  let’s just say i’m set for as long as i have toothies…

Lots of baby formula (power), jars of baby food.  I took all the boxes of the dried spinach tortellini because it was 60¢ a box!  Twinings cans of loose tea were $1.70, Krusteaz cracked wheat bread mixes were 60¢ and they had a large quantity of Coco Loco for 80¢ – what, Wheaton still doesn’t drink?  Large bags of Kibbles were $3.50 ($1 coupon in 10/7 rp); the small bags of Pedigree were $2 (there are $1 in 9/30 rp).  Lots of Carnation Evaporated Milk (.50/2 coupon in 9/30 rp) for 50¢ each, so only a quarter!

And remember, you can always return with your coupons and receipt(s) for up to 60 days.

Heads up, folks:  Jewel is having chain-wide resets (some call them refreshes), resulting in TONS of clearance items.  We’re talking many, many, many cartloads of products that will be appearing on the clearance shelves.  Since corporate is aiming for four stores a week, there’s a good chance that your local store has either been reset or will be very soon.

As an example of prices, I picked up packs of saffron for $2.50 each, lots of k-cup packs for $3.50 for coffee and $3 for hot cocoa, boxes of Extra dessert gums, Eight O’Clock bags of coffee…way too much to list.

Grab what you want/need/desire; check the coupon database (use the Find a Coupon tab) and see if there’s a current coupon.  Remember, you have 60 days from the date of purchase to return with your coupons and receipts and get your cash back.

When I went to the Lisle Jewel last night for juice and/or rain checks the shelf tags showed the sale ending 10/7, which is correct.  What I didn’t know (there had been no shelf tags about the sale) and didn’t see was that the special Buy 5 get $5 off promotion ended last night.  I am so sorry for anyone who attempted to run this deal this morning.  If you did get rain checks, then you’re completely covered.

super-secret picture of my garage refrigerator...it contains four of the five Dole orange juice bottles I just bought at Jewel – what, you thought I was talking about that other OJ?!

Here’s the deal, which I blatantly stole from another site without giving credit:  The Dole orange juice has a shelf price of $3.29, is currently on sale for $2.88…but as part of the Buy 5 items get $5 off deal, you buy five (which are the only things worth a cup of spit, frankly) and the price drops to $1.88.  Most people would cheer at this point, but my readers are not most people.  Use the $1 off any Dole 100% juice coupon from the 9/30 rp and you’ve got 88¢ friggin’ orange juice!  insert happy dance here…  Lisle is placing larger than normal orders if your Jewel is out.

Jewel has those daily item promotions and today’s (Wednesday) is their EE coffee for only $3.98 – this is normally $7.99, which would be a deal all by itself.  However, with a coffee stockpile rivaling Caribou, I needed something to make it even cheaper!

The $1 OYNO store cat that is scheduled to start tomorrow, started printing a day early AND, if you still have any of those insert coupons $1 off when you spend $5 on EE products, you’ll run the deal like this:  I bought this large can of coffee with a package of EE shredded cheese for $2.  This brought me to $5.98 and I used the $1 coupon and a $1 off any EE cheese product store cat.  Note:  The $1 OYNO cat prints out when you scan the coffee, not after you pay, but please don’t use it on the same transaction.  It only ruins it for us in the long run.  btw though…ad says limit 1, but that’s per transaction…

The Baileys is on sale for 2/$4 and right on the cooler door is a non-blinking blinkie just filled with $1 off any Baileys coupon – expiration date is 1/31/13, so grab them now because the holidays are a’coming!  I only took twelve….that’s twelve products….
