store tricks: they don’t know me, do they?

Stopped at a different Jewel today for something that was supposedly on the shelf – it wasn’t and had been OOS for over three weeks.  According to this article in Coupons in the News, I would have then rolled through an aisle or two and picked up something else.  I walked through the coffee aisle and saw they had more of this coffee marked down to $2, but rings up at $1.50.  Way too flavored for us as-is, but mixed with 75% unflavored coffee it tastes great.  Also picked up 2 Cheep Chicken bags with the never-ending $10 deli coupon.  Am I going to hell for this?  Probably, but at least I’ll know most of the inhabitants.  See you there 🙂

Walgreens Bonus Cash Rewards Deals

These are targeted coupons and you might be rewarded with a $15 Rewards – mine was only $10.  Right now Walgreens doesn’t make sense for me because buying for pickup means hitting $10 AFTER all coupons have been subtracted.  Sorry, but that’s like paying real money to shop at Walgreens and that hasn’t happened in 20 years!  Also, online prices are often so much lower than doing your own shopping, that the deals evaporate.  Right now I’m looking at Cheez-Its for FirstBorn that are ringing up 2/$1.99 (!) for the 7 oz box and that’s cheaper than Costco, so if it’s still working that way, I’ll do it all online tomorrow.  Probably be OOS by then 🙂

Flavor Adventure & clearance coffee

Pita found the coffee in the regular coffee aisle, both varieties marked down to $2!  When I checked out the 8 cans actually rang (after discounts) at $1.50.  Mott’s was a freebie as was a tiny can of Pringles and the taco seasoning.  I picked up 11 Nathan’s hot dogs as my contribution to a block party, but even though they rang as deli, the $10 deli coupon from Flavor Adventure didn’t come off – customer service refunded the amount plus tax to me.  Total for everything was $13+ (subtracting the $10 deli), so I’m pleased.
