This year’s Monopoly game in disguise (Flavor Adventure) starts today (6/7).  I keep getting a “technical error” when I try to start playing after registration and have to reregister, but hope that gets straightened out soon; did rather well last year.

Checking Personalized Prices one year ago, I see that my half and half was $1.99 a half gallon while the best they’ve offered me this week is $5.43.  Of course, if that counts towards the $25/$5 Dairy Deal this month, it’s great because we go through two a week.  FirstBorn is currently sucking down coffee in Vegas, so we’ll see how much we use when it’s just me (Pita uses plant-based goop).

The Jewel Saturday Sampler this week is Orchard Valley Harvest Snack Mix (7-8 oz) you’ll be able to add to your U™ account for redemption by Monday.  No extra freebie like last week.  Don’t forget to clip the $1 digital coupon to make this a bit of a money maker.

This year’s Monopoly game in disguise starts a week later than 2022.  While you earn more rolls of the die for specific items purchased, you also earn them just because.  Those short videos should earn you more free rolls of the die if this plays out the same; make sure to add the recipes – no matter how disgusting.  As I recall, did rather well last year.

Checking Personalize Prices one year ago, I see that my half and half was $1.99 a half gallon while the best they’ve offered me lately is a rare $5.49.

The new Jewel ad shows Orchard Valley Harvest Snack Mix (7-8 oz) 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).  At least it’s not their chickpea line 🙁  Maybe Jewel will toss in a bonus like last week

Their new ad shows a 12 oz can of Celsius energy drink for 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).  Looks like they have 15 varieties, although your store will only carry the four flavors you don’t like

Went to pick up a few bits of sale produce plus the $9.99 six-pack of Puffs at Jewel, since the price was under that of Dollar Tree.  Clearance cart wasn’t out, but I saw the lady and maybe by Sunday … of course I forgot to ask what was on it 🙂

Pita spotted these two varieties of paté marked down to 99¢ from $7.99(!); dates were a mixture of 5/26 and 6/23.  Neither was spicy, so I planned on using them in homemade dog food, since Master Charles loves his chicken liver and it’s usually difficult to find.

Well, they’re both very tasty – think high-end liver sausage. I’ll freeze most of the tubes and enjoy the rest on toasted baguettes.  Light lunch for hot days.

My U™ account just added a freebie – a package of Tillamook cheese slices!  Great company (love their ice cream).  Check your account under Free Offers to see if you show anything.

Decided to check if the Jewel clearance cart was out (wasn’t) and to pick up the freebie energy drink I won’t; Signature waffles from a few weeks ago were in stock (only a couple varieties), plus cardboard display of Twining’s cold teas with $2 tearpads.  Since they were BOGO at $5.99, I took a pass and will wait until they’re 75% off; I have a ton of teas on the basement shelves from prior clearance deals and the date is 12/31/23, so lots of time.

There’s a $5 digital coupon for any Newman’s Own frozen pizzas; they’re $7.49, so paying $2.49 is pretty good.

If you clip the $1/2 digital coupon you’ll only pay 99¢ a package.  The coupon is unlimited, which should mean multiples of two on separate transactions would work fine.  Try and let us know.
