Yee doggies! update

The Jewel ad starting the 9th is showing The Return of the Buy 10 get $5 off Instantly.  I have an aversion to this type of “discount” (see prior posts for my philosophy), but this one’s a killer.  In almost a exact repeat of the last dealio, the HC fresh mixers are once again going to be $1.99 after discount.  Here’s the killer part:  Check your Avenue cards (read prior posts about “other” cards), people; it’s showing up there as a limit 8, in varying amounts off ($1, 1.25, and my personal fav, $2).  So what does this mean, grasshopper?  Lots and lots of overage towards other stuff you might actually be forced to pay for otherwise.  i know, i know, it gets to me, too. Personally, I’d check out the clearance meat section – they’ve certainly been giving Dominick’s a run for their money (pssst, the Stockman & Dakota bottom roasts are BOGO).  If you used up all your $1 insert coupons from 10/24 S, Coupons by Dede (right sidebar) had about 1500 left with an .08 “handling charge” for each.   I’m looking to buy at least 50 from her, since I’ve got the mixers through the 13th on a couple of cards with a few more cards resetting at midnight.  Since these are products are shelf-stable, I won’t even have to play freezer tetris.  And most important?  The PITA loves them.  IF YOU HAVEN’T YET ORDERED YOUR COUPONS, DON’T WORRY.  BUY THE ITEMS AND RETURN WITHIN THE NEXT 60 DAYS WITH YOUR COUPONS TO GET YOUR CASH.  JEWEL ROCKS! Aahhh!  Almost forgot:  Do not use up the maximum limit showing on your Avenue card, usually 6 or 8.  If you do, it disappears forever.  Scary, huh?  Instead, buy one less and then wait 24 hours before buying more.  Example:  HC Fresh Mixers are $2.00, limit 8; buy 7 at one time and get the hell out of Dodge (with that card, anyway) for the next 24 hours.  Next day, you’ve got all 8 still showing.  it’s a miracle!

Another thing to note is that Pillsbury brownie mixes, cookie mixes and frostings tie in with the 11/7 rp for either .40 off frosting/brownie or .50 on cookie mixes.  So either .09 for brownies or .49 or .59 for the cookies and frosting.  For those of you with the Dominick’s Thanksgiving booklets, there are coupons for:  $1/1 Pam spray; $1/1 Hefty one zips or foam plates and probably other stuff, but I just can’t look any more.

If you see some match ups, please comment and let us know… In unity there is strength!


Dominicks Freebies

(I’ve changed the date to the 9th, because I looked at the ad scan and I’m not certain it starts until then.  If you have better info, drop me a line) IGNORE!  The deal is on starting today, the 8th.  I bought these items in two separate transactions since neither the store nor any sites say you can stack.  Note that not all items are marked on the shelf, although they all work.

I’ll admit to not following or shopping at Dominicks in quite a long time.  I seem to stock up on the free stuff while my coupons are still accepted everywhere!  Having said that, I read on CW that Dominicks has a Buy 5 Save 5 Sale starting tomorrow the 8th through the 22nd.  It’s a Nabisco deal, so Cheese Nips and Saltines are part of the promotion, which ties in very nicely with the $1/1 coupon in the 11/14 S.  Guess I’ll be heading over there tomorrow morning, since we luv Cheese Nips, and this coupon makes them free!  Other crackers are also on sale, although not free (Wheat Thins and Ritz for .49)…

So you’re aware, all 11/14 S inserts, with the exception of those inserts marked “Arlington Heights, …” have the coupon (I’ve already checked and clipped mine).  Many thanks to Beth3 for the info.

Free Tide Stain Release Spray

Just read on Meijer Madness that starting today at noon (ET), Tide will be giving away free Stain Release spray to the first 5,000 who register on their Facebook page and “like” them.  I suppose we’ve all done “stuff” for  people and products we like less…just sayin

Free French Fries – oooo la la

Saw this on CW:  receive a coupon (well, hit it back for 2, dummy) for Wendy’s new fresh cut fries with skin on (with sea salt).  Now these I could definitely go for.  BK has those god-awful battered imitations (and they’re cropping up elsewhere – shudder).  So click here and enjoy!  Hurry, ’cause so much of this stuff disappears quickly
