Finally, a reason to return to Jewel! After a few months of practically sleeping on a cot in the back, I’ve been in only a few times. Today that changed. Since I was in a hurry and needed to burn a few expiring cats (10/6), I picked up everything in the picture and spent…well, I’ll detail it out for you.
First transaction was for 7 OR popcorn. The shelf tag reads $3.59, but the Preferred Card price is $1.69, so we’re looking at 7 total to get to Skippy’s Magic Number, which for this promotion is $25. Actually, this gets us to $25.13, which is really cutting it close. The actual cost works out to be $11.83, and you then get a $10 OYNO cat. I added 2 Mrs. T Pierogi ($3.45 BOGO) and a small Soft Soap. The Soft Soap was a substitute for the 10/$10 soap oddity sale which is not carried by my Jewel. I had a store coupon cat for $1 off a personal care item, so this was my boy! I picked up 6 more of the sale creamers and used 3 $1 coupons. Total for this transaction was $15.63, so I used 3 of the $5 Wags RRs from the Nutrisse deal and paid out $1.63 in cash. Got the $10 cat, but forgot my pot stamps. I’ll get all stamps next time I’m in.
Next transaction was for 7 more OR popcorn and 2 more Mrs. T Pierogi. Total was $13.64 (which really freaked out the cs person, who couldn’t believe my total could be so high!), but I used 4 of the $3 Aquapod cats and ended up at $1.64. Got the $10 cat, but forgot the pot stamp.
I saw Jill Cataldo’s post this morning about a vitamin freebie at Jewel. Clicked on the link and discovered that this is not a regular manufacturer coupon with a set limit. This is a fantastical unlimited print $4 coupon for the adult gummy vitamins (70 ct) on sale for $3.99. You know what that means! FREE vitamins for the next year. While I’ve never tasted this brand, so far I’ve never met a gummy vitamin I didn’t like. You can healthify yourself into a diabetic coma eating these things. I placed a special order for 48 of them at the $3.99 price so I’ll keep picking them up week after week as they dribble in. Did the same thing with the MotrinPM (150 special order for free) a couple of months ago and the Scotch Brite scrubbing sponges (another couple of hundred – and no they weren’t all for me: I’m not that clean.)
If the free pretzels from this morning’s deal weren’t enough, they are now offering a Auntie Anne’s BOGO deal. I’ve already signed up for it and can almost hear those cinnamon/sugar babies calling to me “come and get us, we love you, we won’t settle on your big fat ass…” WTF?! What kind of siren song are those pretzels singing, anyway?
