.99 Jewel clearance on Philadelphia cooking cream

Before I forget, Lisle Jewel has a manager’s special on the Philadelphia cooking cream (Italian cheese and herb) for 99¢ with tomorrow’s expiration date.  There is a 55¢ coupon in the 5/20 S, so 44¢ cream cheese.  This freezes very well and is a great addition to mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs (heck, you could also just spread it on a bagel!).  I’ll have PITA clip the coupons and leave them on the end cap – there are probably 25 and I’ll take only a few.  You must get there before Jeff leaves at 10 to they’ll be tossed.

 

Pub burger update – today is expiration

As Denise pointed out, TODAY is the 6th, which is the S&D coupon expiration date.  Goddess gets a trifle confused on human definitions of time, you know.  especially when you deal in eons…

So grab your scissors and hit the butcher counter!  This is great because I found another five booklets with intact coupons (PITA missed them).

Pub…crawling

As in Pub Burgers!  You see here 26 packs of junior pub burgers.  Normally I would have just picked up the big boys and paid the extra buck, but I was not feeling the love after all the Fresh Summertime Fun booklets were pulled; I’ll just slap two juniors together!  Also picked up 26 more packs of Gillette disposable razors.  The same 6/3 P&G insert contains a BOGO for Daisy and/or Venus women’s disposables (up to $14.99) and they’re also on BOGO sale, so figured why not?!  Lots of store cats spitting out FREE eggs, FREE oral care (trial size Crest), $1 hair care ($1 Suave), $1 body care (Suave body wash), $1 produce, $1.50 chips or pretzels (Doritos snack size) and the $10/$100 one which allowed me to buy the Olive Bar container, cream and the rest of the stuff like mangoes.   Used 26 of the $1 Stockman & Dakota coupons (expire today!), three of the $1 Essemtial Everday for the $1 catsups.  Also used 1 $2 and $1 OYNO that PITA found.  Actual cash I paid…wait, I used one of the $2 Ecotrin…and the rest – $8.66 – was tax.

Receipt shows Today’s Total Savings $277.67.  That is a savings of 100%.  and that’s just how the Goddess rolls…

PSA – Jewel Fresh & Fun booklets

Stopped at customer service to pick up a book or two and was told that corporate had directed them to pull all remaining booklets because “it was a Memorial Day promotion.”  Mind you, I believe my CS people, but if this is a Memorial Day deal, why do the dates go for another couple of weeks?  hmmm, enquiring minds want to know…

Having said that, if you do see any booklets, snatch them up with both hands.  The $1 Stockman & Dakota pub burgers coupon expires TODAY!  The $1 Essential Everyday coupon gives you until the 20th.

Hairy deal

Got this deal via email from MUM, who posted it via Sister-Save-A-Lot…seems like a pretty incestuous bunch alright.

Jewel/Osco has the Gillette disposable razors BOGO at $8.49 a pack.  The 6/3 P&G insert has a Gillette disposable razor BOGO coupon up to a maximum of $11.99.  FREE razors!   Note that this stuff is all high tax – I picked up twenty packs and was going to go higher just to use some of those $10/$100 cats I seem to find everywhere.  Realized that I was fine as it was, so paid my $6.16 and came home to post.  I believe the BOGO deal runs through the 15th of June.

Jewel and OM $4 cat weirdness

Just got back from running 20 OM transactions – five at a time for $1.09 OOP.  Something really weird happened after transactions 12 and 13 – a $3 OYNO printed out each time!  Yes, all five pouches scanned correctly and the total amount was correct.  I hadn’t been using the same loyalty card (although I did use the Jewel one once or twice just to show I’m a team player).  So instead of using the same assortment, I ran the next transaction with only one variety:  The $4 OYNO popped out!  So if you’re running over ten transactions, you might want to take a different flavor or meat.

Jewel for more freebies

Ran two transactions, one with the Brawny and one without.  Both had five OM lunch meats and an EE yellow mustard.  Brawny was a FREE cat PITA found.  One transaction used a FREE $1 cat PITA also found, so total OOP was about $1.18.

Lisle Jewel is ordering larger quantities of the OM lunch meat, so if you’re looking for more than your local store is carrying, please stop in and stock up.  These are very tasty little packs.

 

Jewel tripping

Spent most of the day in Oak Park between the dentist and my mom’s…and then hunting down the elusive Ecotrin and Youtheory tablets at different Wags.  It’s a rough life, being a hunter/gathere.  was able to score more of the $100 Vitamin books, though…

So get home and find that “someone” (probably house elves ’cause no one will admit to it) has used up the last of the coffee cream, which means I have to head out once again.

You see here a very nice catalina deal on the Oscar Meyer Little Ones (or something similar) – 2 oz of lunch meat with a shelf price of $1.49.  Yeah, like that’s gonna jump in my cart, right?  However, these are also part of the national promotion where the more you buy, the more you save.  In this case, the magic number is five:  Buy five and get a $4 OYNO, which you can use to pay for the next five.  And did I mention that they are now on sale for a buck each?  Pay $5 and get back $4 – yeah, they’re worth the 20¢…  The mustard is on sale for a buck as part of the 10/$10 sale – use the $1 off Essential Everyday coupon in the latest Jewel summer grilling booklet (I did tell you to stockpile them, didn’t I?).  I’ll probably get a couple more because summertime is hot dogs and sandwich time and the expiration dates are in 2014.  wait, isn’t the world supposed to end this December?  does Super-valu know something we don’t?

oh, and much love and credit (but no $$) to Rachel for the OM info.

Jewel SAVE BIG catalina 5/31 to 6/13/12

5/31/12 – 6/13/12  Combine dollar coupons to save on your next grocery purchase – There’s no Limit!
Okay, does anyone have any idea what this catalina means?  I mean, I like mysteries and suspense, but not on my cats…

It’s official – new Jewel coupon acceptance policy

Learned about this last week, but Jewel put an embargo of sorts on the release of the information.  Judging by my emails, many of you have already encountered this, usually incorrectly quoted.  Here’s the official comment from the Jewel Facebook page:

Jewel-Osco Beginning July 1st, 2012 Jewel-Osco will no longer accept competitor manufacturer coupons that contain the statement “Redeemable only at.” If you have any more questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for stopping by our Facebook page and have a great week.

So there you have it. ALL Walgreens RRs have that Redeemable only at wording, so July 1 we’ll be DOA for free-spending purposes. Hey, but this just means we have to be more conscious of rolling our RRs between deals, right?  And between you and me, at least we have enough time to make plans – – had it been Dominicks, the policy would have changed last week – – in the middle of the night – – on toilet paper – – in invisible ink — after giving the secret handshake…

Update:  I forgot to add that Jewel corporate is throwing us a bone of sorts:  Starting July 1 they will allow overage.  Well, hell’s bells, if you played your cards right…but I digress.  If you have a $1 coupon and the item is selling for 75¢ or any lesser amount, you will get the full value of the coupon as long as you have sufficient groceries to absorb the overage.  In other words, unlike Walmart, there is no cash coming in our direction.  Course, it’s gonna be hard to find anything for sale at Jewel for less than the value of the pitiful coupons we’ve been seeing lately.
