As shown in this week’s ad, we have one Saturday Sampler, a 20 oz bottle of Coco-Cola Starlight.  Both regular and zero sugar are included. Add to your U™ account by Sunday and redeem by Monday.  This is a limited time flavor and the description reads (no shit):

“You hold the celestial power of the universe in your hand. Discover what it is like to drink Starlight, on Earth for a brief encounter … Starlight’s red hue sparkles with a cooling sensation that has been transformed by the magic of space. Transport yourself to a new galaxy with each sip.”  Supposed to taste like space candy. or something 

Good thing I stopped at the local Jewel because the clearance cart was full of La Croix – only took 10 cans, though 🙂 Lots of shampoos & conditioners (HE, TRESemme) and Fructis Garnier hair treatments for $1.50; use the $3/2 coupon from 3/6 Save and they’re free!  New $1/2 tear pads out there for Green Giant riced veggies and veggie tots/fries/rings with May dates, so use up the 3/20 ones this week on the riced veggies and be ready for the next sale.  I would have paid 50¢ less had I swapped out the Cap’n Crunch for more oatmeal because of the new unlimited digital coupon, but FirstBorn has already just about finished yesterday’s box.  Wow.

While the total was $4.45, one of the La Croix rang up as $1.09 instead of 25¢ like all the rest.  Very, very weird because they are all exactly the same!  Now I’ll have to stop back and force myself to grab more riced veggies.

This price relies on tear pad coupons, which you should always grab justincase.  The Green Giant $1/2 coupon expires 3/20, so great save here.  The Quaker Oats coupon showed up just before the last Jewel sale.  There were more tear pads of $1/2 Green Giant veggie tots or rings good through May, so grab some of those if you see ’em.

Jewel is running a Buy 4 get an extra buck off the GG products, so that actually makes them a moneymaker.  Buying five Quaker products drops the cost down to 99¢ each, so use two of the $1.25/2 coupons.  I picked up a box of Cap’n Crunch for FirstBorn that’s not pictured … it’s already up in his room 🙂

Saw these deals over on this Jewel-Osco + More FB page – check it out!  My OOP here was $2.12

No Saturday Sampler, but there’s a Flash Sale today on Goose Island beer and shandy.  Since shandy is usually a warm weather beverage, maybe Jewel corporate has been in touch with the weather gods about the next few months.

Just came back from Jewel where the main shelves of Fisher peanuts (all sale varieties) were wiped out, leaving only a couple of shelves on an end cap.  If it’s so sad on the first afternoon of a sale, I would not bet any money on Friday shopping.  They did have lots of the pretzels, but Pita read the ingredients and took a pass…or would that be a piss?

I’ll be grabbing mushrooms and possibly celery (depends on the size of the bunch), but have already clipped the peanuts, toilet paper and pretzels, so add to your U™ account now before you forget.  Cabbage is something we like, but don’t make often enough.  Isn’t Brightly the name of Jewel’s paper towels?  because having a shiny bright butt isn’t high on my list.

The Jewel preview ad offers quite a few $1 produce items worth grabbing, like mushrooms, coleslaw, bagged russet potatoes & onions and a smoking hot price on a 36 oz container of Fisher’s peanuts ($1.99 once you’ve clipped the $7 digital coupon).

Stopped in at Jewel today for a few more rice and broth after hitting up Amazon Fresh for dog food and five more pounds of vacuum-sealed, frozen salmon ($4.80/lb).  Clearance cart was out but we’re talking tons of air fresheners for home and auto so even at 75% off, who needs ’em?

No clearance cart out :(, so loaded up with more of the 50¢ deals on rice, oatmeal and broth.  There’s an Ibotta rebate for $2 (limit 5) on Perdue breaded chicken products & they’re BOGO, so 50¢ each after rebate; Bumble Bee chunk tuna in oil is 50¢ with a 25¢ Ibotta rebate (limit 5).  btw, I saw this on a FB Jewel (and other stores) page; very helpful, so consider joining.  Vinegar was over $5 at Amazon Fresh, so even buying it with free money would have felt so wrong!

Check your U™ account for unexpected freebies because Pita just got a free box of Bob’s Red Mill Instant Oatmeal Packets – I, of course, got squat.  Plain, Brown Sugar & Maple and Apple Pieces & Cinnamon flavors shown.
