Jewel - making $$ the hard way - deranged.mederanged.me

Note: If you want to run this deal, do not wait. The cats are supposed to be $2 ones, not $5, and I very much doubt this will continue through Monday morning.

Been working the 2L pop catalina deal at Jewel all afternoon – phew! What deal? Glad you asked. Buy the 2L bottles of any combination of 7UP, diet 7UP, A&W root beer, A&W diet root beer, A&W cream soda, Sunkist grape and Sunkist strawberry. That’s seven varieties in all.

You can run it a few way, but I did 32 of each variety, paid $25 something (my brain is fried right now) for the first one and the cat machine spit out 8 $5 OYNO store coupons. Remember, store coupons means no tax. Which is great on a high tax item. Subsequent transactions meant you used the prior deal’s $25 in cats and paid .30 in high tax and got back an additional $15 in store cats.

If you want to run fewer transactions with larger numbers and want to use the 5% off your next transaction that gets generated with the first $5 cats, buy 80 of any of the above and you’ll get back $100 in $5 store cats.

I picked up 896 2L bottles using the 32 bottle method and 80 bottles using the one-time method. These are special orders, for the most part, which will be picked up by the Lisle Township Food Pantry when they come in.

I just tried the deal now, I bought 4 bottles, 7up, Dr. Pepper, A&W Rootbeer and Sunkist Orange but I didn’t get a catalina.

Lisle Jewel prefers that you pay up front for special orders – – which works for us. Although they’ve never been stiffed by one of my readers, they don’t want to take chances! So you pay using a couple of shelf bottles and they write on the special order that it’s already paid – and you have your receipt and lovely cats.
