For those of you who have been unable to find either the Ronzoni free pasta or the hummus (which I am eating as I type – yum), the Jewel in Lisle on Rte 53 put in huge orders for both.  The pasta is already in and more hummus comes in tonight (all 3 flavors).  The asst mgr plans to have the hummus in both a special display and the regular spot.  Go on over, they’re super friendly and lubs us extreme couponers…

This picture combines both deals, ’cause frankly, they’re pretty much the same and I’m lazy.  Get over it.  Total OOP on both deals was $62.07.  I  received $6 in cats and will get $50 in gift cards.  Actual price paid for all this stuff?  $6.07…

For the spend $25 on Kimberly-Clark Jewel gift card, I purchased the Kleenex in either the 110 or 200 size boxes.  (Either of the upcs works – the shrink-wrapped 3-packs did not)  Get up to $10 or go slightly over, then grab a few more items to get you over the $25 threshold.  In this case I used the Scott paper towels and a large box of Huggies wipes.  Total was between $25 and $26 dollars each time, so I’m good.  Make certain you scan all the K-C items together so it’s easy to calculate.  I also threw in a small ham and used the store coupon on it.  One transaction included five hummus with coupon.  I used no K-C manufacturer coupons. OOP was $31.57 and $30.50.  Note that each transaction rewarded me with a $3 OYNO for the Kleenex, which will not come out until I’ve completed all these deals.

On the first rebate I submitted I circled the entire K-C section and wrote the total on top, using Preferred Card prices.  Make sure to black out the part that contains your pc number and/or payment info.  And I would strongly urge you to follow the rebate instructions exactly as written:  if it says hand-written name and address, that’s what you give ’em, not an address label.

Good luck.

OK, I ran the deal without any coupons at all!  I can understand why P&G doesn’t want to give us $25 when, after coupons, we’ve only paid out $15 or $20, but I was afraid that using any coupons would screw up the total, so cleared it with store mgr and CS mgr and ran up $62.82 for everything in the picture; Kimberly-Clark stuff was $26.  I rang through SCOT and when I finished the CS guy came over (probably force of habit) and when I said I wasn’t using coupons, he tottered a little.

Took my receipt over to CS and had them take off my various coupons and RRs – total OOP was $.82.  Want to know what I got?  A ham (well, of course), 12 boxes of Kleenex, 2 Scott paper towels, one box of Huggies, 2 boxes of Clementines, 2 bunches of bananas, 1 cheese bakery bread, 2 yogurts (for my home yogurt-making) and 1 MM juice.   I’ll complete my rebate form and put it in tomorrow’s mail.

Just read on CW that apparently Kimberly Clark’s definition of “while supplies last” means that 600 gift cards would be sufficient for a promotion heavily advertised in the Jewel Spotlight and scheduled to run from December 16, 2010 through January 15, 2011. The 900+ LOSERS who did not receive a gift card will be getting a booklet with $15 worth of coupons.  I am thoroughly pissed off about this.  It does not even appear that the cards were issued in the order received (FIFO), because I know of one person who got hers but another person, whose rebate was submitted two weeks prior, did not get one.  Most of these purchases were made on some very expensive Kimberly-Clark products without the benefit of sales or coupons. This is a very big no-no: Could they possibly be using Dominicks’ marketing agency?  If you did not receive a gift card and want to pitch a hissy fit, the Kimberly-Clark number is  888-525-8388.  go for it…

Saw this on CW (thanks to OP), so thought I’d post for those of you who want to try it.  It appeared in Spanish ads and is targeted to Hispanic families.  ¡Pero me gusta todo el dinero!

Terms:
Purchases must be made between 12/16/2010 and 1/15/2011. Request must be postmarked by 1/15/2011 and received no later than 1/30/2011. Limit one (1) per individual, family or valid street address. Group requests void. Only U.S. street addresses accepted, no PO boxes. Please allow 6-8 weeks for processing. Requests for fulfillment to PO boxes will not be accepted. Requests that in Kimberly-Clarks sole discretion do not comply with terms & conditions of offer, including mechanically reproduced requests, fraudulent, illegible, incomplete or inaccurate requests are invalid.  Void where prohibited.

Wording is rather odd…$25 after coupons, etc.?  My suggestion is to buy your stuff separately from the rest of your order, then walk back to customer service desk and hand over your coupons and RRs.  Your receipt will still be an original and any marks made by CS shouldn’t affect your rebate (make sure your circle your items and prices with a marker so it stands out).

There are very few coupons out there (except for Kleenex and Cottonelle – so you know what I’m loading up on), but 100% return on your investment isn’t too shabby.  Don’t wait too long, because it’s while supplies last…

When I picked up the Ronzoni pasta from my small Jewel, I had no idea that I was doing anything unusual – then I started checking out other forums and reading emails from people who have been unable to locate any at their Jewels.  I called a large 24 hr store (certain that they would have it), also nothing.  This picture is of the two types on the 10/$10 deal.

So, please take a moment to post where you have found or didn’t find the Garden Delight.  If you can’t find it you have two options:  1) place a special order, since it’s available in the Jewel warehouse or 2) go to the Lisle Jewel on Rte 53, where they stock it and love  couponers.

Here’s a very nice BOGO coupon for Kellogg’s Special K cereals.  While it doesn’t work (as far as I can see from the ad) for this week’s cereal sale, this should work out nicely between now and the exp date (one month from print).  You do have to register, as this is a Kellogg’s site (prints through Bricks, so print, back, print) …  Thanks to Totally Target.

Just saw on CW that Tribe hummus is on sale for 10/$10 and here is another holiday gift to you…a $1/1 pdf  Tribe coupon can we say the gift that keeps on giving?
