First stop was Staples for my weekly pick up of free paper.  Completely out of stock.  They sold out on Saturday (people coming in all day) and said some stores sold out even earlier in the week.  Told me the warehouse is currently out of stock.  I’ll check back later in the week, since it’s not likely I’l run out before then. bwahahahahaha

Wanted to check out the remaining inventory at the Dominicks on North Aurora Avenue.  Locked up tight.  However, it’s very possible that the store I’ve always thought of as the North Aurora location isn’t – and the store on Eola is the one they’re talking about.   It’s certainly not worth driving around to check.  If any of you have more info, please post.  I would pick up more organic whole milk and eggs.  Or any of the still-open Dominick locations, for that matter!

Jewel has, once again, the Yakisoba noodles for 99¢ BOGO.  Use the 50¢ coupon from 1/12 S for more free noodles!  Remember that Jewel registers won’t accept two coupons on the BOGO, nor the 2¢ in overage even though it is in the Jewel coupon policy, so watch that darned thing and make sure you get credited. Cashier said “Didn’t you buy about a million packs of noodles last year?”  Lots of clearance cheese left over from the Holidays – I grabbed a couple of brie tubes for $3 each.  I also grabbed what I thought was $1 pineapple in the 9 oz cups – was marked $2.49, but figured it was just a weird pricing error.  Turned out to be mango, not pineapple and frankly, even if it were $1 I wouldn’t buy mango that color!  also turns out i can’t read ’cause it said mango on top…
