I have selected the three winners of the Ken’s Dressing giveaway, who will each receive 10 $1 coupons in the mail.  Luckily, I’ve already clipped them out so they’ll be deposited at the post office tomorrow morning.  Congratulations to Kathy, Lynette and Emily.  Check your emails, please.  Lynette, you used an office email account which says you are out of the office until Monday.  Please contact me with your info, or you won’t be able to get the coupons in time for the deal.  OH NO!!  Thanks to all who participated.  I appreciate all your kind comments.   i would be even more appreciative of money in the mail, but sigh, can’t have everything…

Jill Cataldo has complete info on the Jewel promo all the boards have been buzzing about.  Starting August 26th through January 12, 2011, every $10 that you spend (before coupons) earns you a sticker which you place on cards you get from customer service.  Note that .99 rounds down and .01 rounds up.  Fill up the cards and get a pan for one penny!  I checked out these pans on eBay and the Jewel retail price is, surprise, a little optimistic, but the reduced price isn’t bad (if you only have a half-filled card).  But since extreme couponers don’t pay but tax, it looks like a sweet deal.  I’m already thinking about how the Ken’s dressings and Right Guard will work with this one (eyeballing the roaster pan).  Although I’d much prefer cash (catalinas) over pans, it’s still a whole lot better than that stupid iTunes promo.  I’ve added a picture of the brochure.  It contains info on the various pans and a couple of pages for stickers; each brochure has spaces for 130 stickers.

This week’s Jewel ad has Ken’s salad dressing on sale for $1.  The 8/15 SS has $1/1 coupons which equals FREE.  Since I seem to have accumulated quite a few of these inserts ( 70?)  I hereby declare a giveaway.  Comment and win!  I’m not looking for any sob stories, or any stories at all, actually.  Three randomly selected readers will receive 10 coupons each.  The giveaway starts now and goes through Thursday, August 26th at 5 pm.  I’ll send out notifying emails that evening and ask that you respond as soon as possible with your full name and address.   I’ll start clipping now and filling those envelopes.  The remaining 40 coupons?  I’ll stop by Jewel today and place a special order and either donate a bunch or drop them off to Mashupmom for her garage sale (sorry, Rachel, couldn’t resist).

For those who can’t imagine using up 10 bottles of salad dressing – you’re just not being creative.  I use tons of Italian salad dressing as a quick marinade.  Just poke some holes in the meat, dump it in a ziploc, add the dressing and place in refrigerator for a day or two.  Easy-peasy (my stock in trade).  and if it’s Dominicks clearance meat, you’re way ahead of the game.
