Okay, PITA and I picked up two pizzas and a Thin Mint Edy’s ice cream at Danada Square this afternoon.  They were completely out of stock on the POM.  Cashier was curious about all the people coming in with the Edy’s with pizza coupons; said she was told it was from the Jewel ad.  Very happy to see people using coupons.  Up to customer service to get the POM rain checks and lady was very coupon-knowledgeable and even remembered seeing the coupon (she keeps the inserts).  She often follows Jill, so I gave her MUM’s site for more up-to-the-minute information.  She said she could only give me a rain check for ten (which is fine – I’ll get more elsewhere and this way I don’t have the juices all expiring on the same day).  Even though this deal was forThursday only, it’s only 50¢ more per pizza the rest of the week, so I guess we’ll all be eating pizza and ice cream once again (august, 2009 – bow down your heads).

Read the latest online Dominicks ad this morning and there is a difference between the Woodridge ad and the Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream and Wheaton ads in the back page (which is all I checked):  Woodridge ad shows a Fresh Express salad and a stir fry, while Wheaton/Glen Ellyn has vegetable medleys and POM juice.  Their prices for the berries are also a buck higher, so if you doing POM and berries, bring the cheaper ad and bitch.  Well, it’s Dominicks, so you’ll be at customer service anyway…

Took the car in to get a flat fixed and had plenty of time to read the Wednesday Trib.  Dominicks is having a bunch of one-day sales of “stuff.”

Thursday’s deal is great because it consists of pizza and ice cream, so we all know what Chicagoland families will be having for dinner!   There is a limit two (per card) DiGiorno Original Pizza sale at $3.49 each.  That’s cheaper than Jewel to start with (2/$10 at Jewel), but take off the $2/2 coupon in the 1/29 rp (cover with the dog and all the pet foods…and what does that tell you about product placement, hmmm?).  Now you’re paying $2.49 for each pizza.  BUT WAIT!!! In Thursday’s Jewel ad on page three there is a mfr coupon for Buy two DiGiorno pizzas and get an Edy’s ice cream FREE.  My favorite word…  You have now spent $4.98 and gotten two large pizzas and a 48 oz carton of ice cream.  The price of pizza jumps to only $3.99 after the first two, so if you pick up more Jewel ads, you can really stock up on decent junk food.

While you’re hunting around, check out the Tyson frozen chicken deals.  They’re BOGO and there’s a $1 mfr coupon in the Game on! Jewel booklet.  Don’t know how much Dominicks has this priced, but it’s on sale at Jewel for $5.99.

Okay, caveat on the following, because Rachel’s ad shows this juice on the last page of the ad  right under the broccoli, but my ad has Fresh Express salad in its place.  Another big difference is the the blackberries or blueberries on the top left corner of the back page.  Rachel’s ad has them for 2/$6 and my ad shows 2/$5!  As MUM says, wtf!?

If you can find the ad with the POM juice, the small 8 oz bottles are on sale for .99.  There is a $1 coupon in the 12/4  S and the 1/8 s – neither has any size restrictions and even states on the 12/4 coupon:  TOM Product to include all size of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juise, LITE POM, POMs Tea, POM POMS Wonderfu Fresh Arils and POM Wonderful Fresh Pomegranates.  Expiration on this coupon is 3/31/12, so plenty of time to use up a rain check.
