UPDATE:  After some serious brainstorming with Rachel,  we are agreed that the Valli coupon is not a manufacturer coupon, but a mis-labeled store coupon.  Note that there is no remittance address, nor any legitimate bar code at all – the only bar code conforms to the PLU number (which is store-specific).  Had Valli been part of the Super-valu chain, instead of just being supplied by the Super-valu warehouse, then that PLU would have been accepted by the Jewel register, right?  I noticed these things right away, but honestly believed that this coupon was more in the line of the Walgreens IVC ones, where the information is electronically transmitted to the manufacturer (a quasi-mfr coupon as it were).

Bottom line is:  Do not use this coupon, because your Jewel will most assuredly not get reimbursed and you will be remembered (and no, don’t go to strange Jewels just for this deal!)  This leaves us paying $1.20 a package, which is still much lower than the current sale price.  Sorry about all this – I bought 5 myself…

otherwise known as Jewel, where stores are awaiting their shipment of Hostess products.  The Lisle Jewel is getting orange cupcakes and Twinkies, other stores (I believe) are getting Zingers.  ugh, and I don’t care if you’re gonna sell ’em or what.  Lots of folks hanging around the back of the store, looking like vagrants.

Nationwide catalina for the Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh products:  Buy five and get $4 mfr catalina.  Only exceptional because Jewel has these on sale 2/$4 through tomorrow the 12th.  Even more exceptional when you get your hands on the Valli Produce ad starting tomorrow the 12th, which has a $5 off FIVE participating OM products…including Deli Fresh!  valli_ad  Note:  You’ll need to get your hands on an actual sales ad, since even my über coupon-friendly store won’t accept this print-out from the computer.  Since you can post-redeem coupons at Jewel for 60 days from the date of purchase (even if the coupons have expired in the meantime), stock up on this great price and return when you get your hands on the ads.  Even if Valli is low on ads, you can still hit them up anytime during the week – all you need is one ad for every five packs you buy.  If you plan a sizable purchase (I’m picking up “a few” for the food pantry), make sure you pay for your special order when placing it, so you don’t miss out, rain checks won’t work.  Lisle will be getting in a bunch extra tomorrow, but justincase…

This promo doesn’t stack, but it does roll, so run in sets of five, using the $4 cat from the prior transaction to reduce the cost of the current one.  Also, keep your eyes open for these Bob Evans prepared casserole dishes – Lisle had a bunch of them with $2 reduced to sell stickers on them and they’re only $3.09 to start with.  Before you say anything about being too lazy to make my own (well, you’re right about that), I had a $$/$$ store cat, so they were effectively free.  And you’re looking at dinner, folks…admitted i was lazy, okay?
