Wags and Jewel – Lisle

Posted on by

Found another 16 REACH coupons!  Seriously!  And if the majority of my inserts from 4/17 hadn’t been Sun Times, I would’ve had a ton more.  Well, shouldn’t complain…

So 16 toothbrushes equaled $1.16 in high tax; got back $16 in Register Rewards.

I just wanted so see how many and how much the Beggin’ Strips were selling for at Jewel.  They’re currently on BOGO sale, which pairs nicely with the 5/08 S BOGO coupon.  The Lisle Jewel sells this for $4.09 (other stores vary), which means that the coupon, which only goes up to $3.99, gets you two bags for .10.  But again, it’s high tax.  I’ll hit them up for the rest tomorrow, since today was a fast shopping trip.

Note on the .01 Miller beer, OM dogs, etc. promo: Miller has informed Jewel that they will be sending out “mystery” shoppers attempting to purchase more than one of these promotions (Jewel is supposed to limit this promo to one per person and possibly one per card).  If your cashier tells you that it’s limited to one per person, please accept this, smile and move on.

Now, if you happen to end up at another store with a different preferred card…

Jewel $1.20 & Wags $1.05

You are looking at 10 bottles of SBR sauce, one quart of 18% cream, 2 packages of watermelon, 1 OM hot dogs, 2 packages of clearance pork chops, 2 half-gallon SB milk, 1 2L Dr. Pepper, 24 pack Jewel water (not shown) and Rosen buns.  While I’m sure you can guess the coupons and deals for most of it, I’ll clue you in on the others:  pork chops had the $2 clearance stickers on them, which I stacked with two $1 any pork product mfr coupons; watermelon was supposed to scan at .59/lb, but instead rang at .99 and $1.49, which equals free watermelon; water was free with cat, same for the onion rings.  I used a $2 OYNO I found and $4.50 in RRs, which left me handing over $1.20 in US currency.

Wags ended up costing me $1.05, but that’s OK because I got an $8 RR for the Complete.  Calcium was free with the IP coupon (Note:  even though we all printed out two of them, only one can be used because there is a unique code which i cannot for the life of me figure out).  The Bayer is giving out some serious overage, which I was happy to apply toward the contact solution.

Lisle Wags and Jewel

Got a call from the Lisle Wags – my Jet-Dry had come in, along with Bayer low-dose aspirin and the Crystal REACH toothbrushes.  You knew these were money makers, right?  I ended up running quite a few transactions of one Bayer and one Jet-Dry, just so the Bayer overage would bring down the Jet-Dry.  Each one resulted in paying .76 and getting back a $1.50.  Used the other overage on Tone body wash ($3 RR) and Complete contact lens solution ($8 RR).  I ran the toothbrushes in sets of four all by themselves – no need to get crazy here, folks.  Each one was .76 (damned high tax) and I got back a $4 RR.  Total OOP was $17.03; ended up with $51.50 in Register Rewards.

If you are still looking for the Crystal REACH toothbrushes, the Bayer Low Dose aspirin and the Jet-Dry (assuming you got the rain checks I told you to get), head on over to Lisle.  Their Bayer is more expensive ($3.49) than other stores, but the bottom line is THEY HAVE PRODUCT IN STOCK.  All the money makers in the world won’t help if the stock isn’t in, right?

Jump across the street to Jewel.  I really didn’t have much of a plan or need, but I did want to dump all the stupid plastic grocery bags that seem to multiply in the garage.  While there DH calls wanting tacos for dinner, so in I went to pick up the tortillas and cilantro.  Hey, since I’m there anyway, might as well throw in a few of the sale Ronzoni pastas, right?  Well, they didn’t have any of the Garden Delight variety and frankly, I’m tired of carrying around rain checks, so tried the Smart Taste ones with the Garden Delight coupons and they worked; the whole grain ones in the brown box do not work.  Ended up at $1.65, so used one of my new Register Rewards and .65 in change.  I hate shelling out cash for food!  Well, in point of fact, I hate shelling out money for anything!  end of story…

Wags and Jewel – lots for little

Realized that I had $19 in Scotts cats expiring today after I finished up with the Lisle Jewel.  Isn’t that always the way?  So decided to hit the Danada Jewel after Wags.

First of all, I didn’t bother using all my coupons:  yes I cleared the shelves of deodorant but they still have lots in the back and frankly, they need the exercise.  Sorry, Steve, but there it is.  I’m still miffed at him because I wanted to have a body wash/deodorant trunk sale in the parking lot and he did not think that was a good idea.  Jeez, whatever happened to friendly competition?  He’s just afraid my prices would be lower – and they would be.  Anyway, the left photo is a full shopping bag that I’m too lazy to line up for their photo opportunity, only to take them downstairs.  Let’s just say there is an awful lot of product in the bag and leave it at that…

So shoot over to Jewel to see what we could see – – How about some $2 meat wts (on Skyy vodka display) over by the meat!?  Didn’t even have to make a detour to the liquor department!  Sweet!  There was a display rack with $1 mfr coupons for pork products, so I picked up a few of them. A manager’s special on boneless, skinless chicken breast for $1.99/lb looked good, so I took a few large packages and added a quart of 18% cream.  Now why is it that the 100% dairy product is cheaper than Coffeemate?  by a buck!  Ended up paying out $1.49.  Oh, well, sometimes you have to pay to eat… but not often, luckily!

The Jewel, the Wags and other ramblings

First up – Good News!  The first group of coupons has arrived (finally…).  I’ll get them out to the giveaway winners tomorrow.  There is a possibility that I might get enough to give more away so don’t throw out your Fuse and/or Vitaminwater receipts.

My first stop today was at Jewel, where I wanted to check on the Lawry’s Marinade deal.  I’d read that there were $1 hangtags on the bottles, which, combined with the $1 sale, makes for some really cheap marinade – free!  And this is some seriously good product to have in your stockpile, folks, because you can use it for just about everything:  fish, chicken, beef, pork and for all types of cooking methods.  Not one bottle had a hangtag (I also checked a far distant one justincase.  nothing).  However, I was able to score a few of the newest Jewel coupon booklets entitled fresh summertime FUN.  They say FREE – take one.  so i did…

Last stop was to a Bolingbrook Wags where the computer said there was stock – 12 lousy toothbrushes.  which is 12 more dollars than I came in with, so shouldn’t complain.  Steve should get more of these in next week’s order (Wednesday), so I’ll have to wait.

Montgomery/Oswego Jewel

Got an email from Christine who says:  I just wanted to give you/your readers a heads up on an awesome Jewel crew in Montgomery.  I’ve had 2 special orders with them and have been there twice this week to pick everything up.  They have been more than amazing.
I spoke with Cale who is one of the managers and he said spread the word that anything anybody wants to order he’ll be more than happy to accommodate everyone.  I really can’t say enough good things about them!!!  If Cale isn’t in, the other person to speak with is Gail – who is awesome too!  Oh yeah- it’s the Jewel at the intersection of Orchard Road and Route 34 – which is technically Oswego.

This is great news for those out further west.  Thanks for sharing this info, Christine.

Fuze and VW stockups

Quickie here…Just picked up 204 Fuze and am going back for the like amount of Vitaminwater.  My second special order comes in during the week, but I’ve already paid for it, so no rush.

It’s important to remember is that you should break your order into halves or thirds or whatever, not because the deal doesn’t stack, but because you want the overage from using those X/XX cats that seem to spit out all over the place and which you can never use because, let’s face it, who spends $70 on one order?!  I broke the Fuze up into two orders and used two$5/$50 on each.  Free money!

So, to recap, see if you can find the cats.  The, pick up the stuff you need but don’t want to shell out actual cash for:  clearance meats paired with the $2/1 Stockman coupons from the last coupon booklet, Ronzoni Garden pasta (rotini is marked .49), which will have a $1 coupon in Sunday’s inserts…well, you get the idea.  Better to use someone else’s cash, right?

Lisle Jewel has received all the Scott paper towels and toilet paper special orders.  Please call Mike at tel 630-964-5166 and set up a time to pick up your orders, as you will undoubtedly be hogging the registers for a considerable amount of time.   If you’re just looking to pick up a small amount, there is product on the shelves.

Wags and Jewel

Decided to check out the Wheaton Wags and try my magic with the body wash there.  As you can see, they have plenty of stock still (this is just an endcap), even the pomegranate & orange zest one.   I picked up eight bottles, four Carefreem two Colgate toothpaste and four Tylenol.  Note that the Tylenol was $4.99 at Wheaton and $5.49 in Lisle.  Used four BOGO, four $1 Clean & Clear, four FREE Carefree, two .75 Colgate and four $5 Tylenol Precise paired with the May $3 IVC.   Total was $3.82, of which $3.36 was high tax.  Got back $4 RR from Colgate……

…..which I immediately used at the Jewel next door.  Two dozen eggs, one cottage cheese, one Scott pt and one tp.  Total was $7.26, so paid with a prior $3 Scott cat and $4RR from Colgate.  OOP was .26

A note on the Pampers deal:  I ran this deal twice, just to see if everything worked out – and it worked beautifully.  I was wrong about the small size Pampers wipes; they were $2.50, but have gone back up to $2.99, so not that much of a difference.  You are at $20.99 with the three items, use the posted mfr and Wags coupons and as much $1 overage from the Clean & Clear as you have coupons ($1 for every two bottles).  Pay and get your $5 Pampers coupon and your $3 (which won’t roll, so don’t try it).
