This cannot be true!  But fear not, there is a new $2 coupon out there with an expiration date of 4/30/2011! Click Tribe for another wonderful pdf coupon.  Grateful thanks to velviita, the OP on CW.  The current Jewel promotion goes through early January, I believe.  by the way, the hummus pictured is my favorite.

Back in the car for more meatballs.  Since I was there, decided to throw in a few other things…the 10 oz sale Fast Shake pancake batters were gone, so they substituted 2 of the 5 oz ones for each (got rain check for 30 – now to find more computers), Sierra Mist, Gatorade Prime and one lonely bottle of Sobe.  Two transactions, total OOP was $3.46, brought down by using a found $1 OYNO and a $3 OYNO from the Kleenex component of the K-C $25 gift card deal.

Important note:  There doesn’t seem to any method to the register glitch – Naperville (75th and Naper) was ringing B1G2; Westmont wasn’t working, I’ll know more about other stores later.  The only one working for certain is the Rte 53 Lisle store where they still have lots in the end freezer.  Take them out of the box and they require very little room in your freezer(s).

Heard a rumor that the Mama Lucia meatballs that are BOGO were actually ringing up as mostly free, so naturally had to check it out.  While there I saw my 2 cases of broth being unloaded to decided to pick it up, even though I didn’t have those coupons with me (no, I don’t shop with a binder, folks).  Don’t forget that you can return within 60 days of the original purchase with your receipt and coupons and get your money back, even if the coupons have expired in the meantime.

So here’s my breakdown:  2 Sierra Mist (free from magic cat machine); 5 lb bag of rice; 2 ribeye and 1 cube steak; 6 boxes of Mama Lucia meatballs.  When I scanned the meatballs, the first one rang up at 3.99, next zero, then 3.99, next zero, fifth one was $3.99 then $7.98 came off, next (6th one) zero.  Total for 6 boxes of meatballs was $3.98 (or .66/each)!  Meat was clearance, so $7 came off on store coupons, the Sierra Mists were free, two $4 meat wts, 24 Manischewitz broths will have $24 in coupons subtracted in a couple of days and I’ll use a $4/40 that I “found.” So my actual OOP will be $8.37.  I’ll probably use a couple of cats to take that down a fraction, but didn’t want to screw up at the register.

and i gots me more stamps…
