No secret I was a Skinny Pop whore for a looong time, but I’m mainlining the hard stuff now: Hatfield & McCoy bacon jerky. Tried this a couple of months ago at the clearance cart and right then and there took all they had (hey, for 75¢ each I would have been insane not to). Haven’t been able to locate any more, even though I’ve hit up a number of Jewel stores, until today when I found another 36 packages. Even though they were $1.75 I bought them all. The Chobani was only $1.37 clearance; UI’ll return with the $1/2 coupon from 2/3S. Vita herring was reduced to only $4 a large jar.
I feed my Hatfield & McCoy addiction

Not really hidden, it’s just that reduced and clearance items are often on the same shelves as the regularly-priced items, not in separate endcaps or carts. In this case I took all the reduced $11.99 lox I could carry (only 6 packs, but still…) since they’re 1 lb packages and there’s room in the freezer!
This was a fun transaction run just to keep my hand in during slow months. Used to be a Skinny Pop whore, but I’ve moved on to the hard stuff – bacon jerky 🙂 Had a special order for these, so I still got the 75¢ sale price and used the $1 coupon from 1/6 S. Lysol is part of the current Buy 5 get $5 off promo and used the 50¢ coupon from 1/6 S3. Ice Mountain and Purina One were freebie coupons from the manufacturer. There were boxes of Puffs (not shown) to use up the excess popcorn overage. btw, these bags are going to the food pantry ’cause it’s a great size for lunches and seniors, who wouldn’t finish the large bags before they went stale. My mom used sandwich bags as a way to both ration and keep fresh the giant bags I used to bring from Costco.
Found these 14 oz rounds of La Bonne Vie Brie in a couple of locations at Jewel – $3.99! So naturally I took them all. See, the thing about brie and camembert is that, as living things, they only continue to improve or ripen with age. And sadly, it will not last THAT long 🙁
