Didn’t post this before the blackout because I wanted to make sure the Lisle Jewel could get stock in – ordering coupons and getting rain checks won’t help when the cat promo is over, right? Coupon Dede is selling the Cool Touch coupons for .08 with a 10 coupon limit (boo) and the same price on the .50/3 with no limit. Choose your poison. She’s dropped her minimum order back to $3.
Here’s the deal: Starting tomorrow the 19th, when you buy $10 worth of specified products at Jewel, you get a $3 OYNO catalina. There is a Kleenex catalina that starts the 23rd and gives you $1 OYNO when you buy five Kleenex products, $1.50 OYNO when you buy six and $2 OYNO when you buy seven. Since seven ($10.50) is the magic number for both promotions, here’s what you do:
Buy seven of the Kleenex Cool Touch cubes. The Kleenex boxes are on sale 2/$3, so buy seven for $10.50 and use seven of the .50 coupons from 1/1 SS. Pay $7 and get back a $3 and a $2 OYNO catalina, which you roll into the next transaction of seven.
If you don’t like the Cool Touch tissues or just want larger boxes, the coupon isn’t as good: .50/3. In this case you are shelling out $10.50 less a buck, get back $5 in cats and you’ve spent $4.50 for seven of the large boxes of Kleenex. I’m going to be picking up probably 49 of each ’cause we use a lot of tissue and the deals are way too few and far between to suit my comfort level. 28¢ and 64¢ will give me a giant comfort zone until the next freebie shows up. about the time EC goes off the air…
How much larger are the other boxes? You think it’s a better deal than the .50/box at CVS this week?
Okay the Cool Touch would be .50 at CVS and .28 at Jewel. It’s gonna be better at Jewel because you don’t have to hit as high a mark: Jewel’s threshold is about $10 and CVS’s is $30. So even though you are getting double back at CVS ($10 vs $5), you’re only paying a third to start with at Jewel. Does that make sense?
No, I meant the 3 packs of 100 tissues in next week’s flyer. They are 2.99 with 1 eb, then with the .50 coupon (on a multi pack), it’s 1.50/3 pack, or .50 each. I am looking at the right flyer, aren’t I?
Yeah, the week of the 22nd they’ll have the 3-packs of Kleenex at CVS for $1.99 after ecb, but those are 110 ct boxes, while the Jewel ad says 75-184 ct boxes, so you’re better off at Jewel, since your cost is .0034 per tissue vs. .0045 at CVS. And you won’t have to replace the boxes as often.
Thanks, I was wondering if the boxes were bigger at Jewel and so they are! Every time I blow my nose, I will think of how you saved me $.0011, thank you!
I did this today and I did not get any cats. Is it only on certain UPC’s? I bought (1) cool touch and (6) 184ct boxes. Three of those boxes were specially printed, the others were the regular colored kleenex. I just returned them and figured I would try again when I knew why it didn’t work…
So the title of this post in big honkin’ bold type: Jewel Kleenex double dip cat 1/23-25 wasn’t enough of a clue?
I didn’t get anything, including the $3 which should have started today. Maybe that “after manufacturer’s coupons” fine print is coming true? I needed kleenex like now, and I had RR to burn…. so I thought I would give it a try.
So lisle will have sufficient stock of this? I’m willing to make my trip hoping my dedelivery comes. 21 for me. Wish I had this two weeks ago when all the kids had the snot faucets. But I’m sure that will come again before the season is over.
IF they don’t have sufficient stock, someone’s head will roll as I gave the info to the store manager as soon as I learned of this. She told her asst mgrs while I was standing there. I’m getting 50 each of the cubes and bigger rectangles.
