Right at this very moment, the insane cat machine at Walgreens is spitting out $5/$20 on EVERY order! I picked up some rulers for 19¢ with in-ad coupon, paying 20¢ with high tax on each separate transaction. It’s a store coupon and Jewel’s official coupon policy (as restated here on their Facebook page) allows their use – – it’s $4.80 worth of FREE GROCERIES!
Some Walgreens have even cheaper items, but I’m in the high rent district and have to make due with 20¢!
I would suggest grabbing lots of FREE items (with coupons) to get up to $20 in groceries and then use the $5 catalina for the overage items. Osco has lots of 99¢ wet n wild products (nail polish, eye liner, lipstick) on which you can use either the $1 or $2/3 coupons in the 7/28 rp1. Or you could stock up on free BIC pens using the $1 coupon from 8/04 S. And if you use coupons on overage items, well, that’s just more overage! I need more cosmetics like I need another flood, but there are lots of organizations that drool over this stuff – and I’m not talking about Boys Town, either…

Don’t forget the free (after $1/1 coupon) Mentos gum this week at Jewel as well, to help get you up to the threshold.
Oooh, that’s right! I gave away all my coupons to MUM, who proudly announces her Diet Coke-free life, but secretly pops blue Mentos…(8/4 S)
You never mix Coke and Mentos, silly!
Thanks for the correction; I always get that confused with aspirin…
Are you kidding me, Jewel takes these!? Damn – 2 weeks ago when they were around I had like 6 or 7 of them, I used 2 to get some super cheap Smiley PT and TP and then I stood in line, like I always do when I have them, and gave them all away! Doh!
I’ve done the same thing, when I didn’t have freebie coupons or an overwhelming number of these cats (think 20+ rolls of that kinesiology tape a few weeks back). You still did good then, so reward yourself now with some back to school rulers (PITA started waving them around and said you could also use them as weapons – yeah).
