Boring old groceries, so I’ll just list them. I ran three transactions, because they had the Frosted Mini Wheats with touch of fruit boxes with Try Me Free on them. Needed separate receipts, but was able to use the .70/1 coupon, bringing it down to .34 after a $2 RR. I’ll immediately put them out in the mail before the receipts get lost.
The big order included 12 Kelloggs cereal, various types and 6 Pop Tarts. On the cereals, I chose those with the $1 peelies for fresh fruit (which explains all the bananas) or M&Ms ($2.99). Grabbed a handful of the free Small Changes bags (a bag for every 2 cereals). Threw in another 2 dozen eggs and some organic Romaine hearts. Got my 6 FREE gallon of milk cats and a $2.50 OYNO from McCormick, which someone kindly left in the machine. My subtotal was $34.98, but when you subtract all the fruit, candy, cereal and pop tart coupons ($16.98), you get down to $18 and tax, which I paid with RRs. Since the milk I buy tends to be expensive, my 6 Free gallons of milk pretty much paid for all the above.

Coffee
While at Jewel a short while ago (picking up my HC mixers, dontchaknow), I checked out the 8 o’clock coffee, reason being that I just got my four bags from Amazon delivered today. Same bag of coffee at Jewel was $7.79. And what did I pay?…..$11.24 – four bags – delivered. If you are looking for deals, check out any of the 8 o’clock
Just tried another flavor (Mocha Ground) and it was even less: $11.15. scary….
Jewel and Avenue
It’s been so long since Jewel had anything even worth checking for on their Avenue card program. And let’s face it, the Buy 10 deal this week sucks donkey balls. Having said that, check your Avenue cards and see if there is the Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers on any of them. I have three cards with $2.50/1 Limit 5 on them. woot! So, you run three transactions of FOUR each. If you don’t use up the limit, it resets the next day (well, it has for years). They are currently $2.49 (if you buy ten it’s $1.99), so FREE. Why anyone would buy ten is beyond me, though, when you can run three sets of 4 for free. Make sure to leave enough time for the deal to reset the next day.
I only wish I’d looked on the cards earlier in the week… remember, it’s not the deals you make that you remember, it’s the ones you blow…
No more double-bagging?
You can tell it’s a slow news day when I’m hitting the Sun Times. Must be because all those sites have stopped sending me deals… Anyhoo, this tiny article says, well, it’s tiny enough to reprint:
Will Jewel-Osco’s checkout changes leave shoppers holding the bag?
Mar 24, 2011 06:59AM
Jewel-Osco baggers are being trained to stop double-bagging, refrain from bagging an item with a handle, and never ask, “Paper or plastic?”
The rules are aimed at saving money — to the tune of $4 million to $6 million yearly — with each 2-cent plastic and 5-cent paper bag left unused at the checkout counter.
Every cent counts for Jewel-Osco’s parent company, Supervalu of Eden Prairie, Minn., whose Jewel, Acme and Albertsons stores collectively use 1.5 billion plastic and paper bags a year. Supervalu has suffered 11 straight quarters of falling sales as shoppers defected to discount grocers during the recession.
I try to always bring my own bags, just because I get tired of hauling them back for recycling. The plastic bags are crap; so thin that I’ve had them rip when I put in tissue paper, so how comfortable do you think I’d feel with eggs? It’s easier for me to leave most stuff unbagged and transfer them from the cart to a banana box in the trunk. Bring in the box, empty and return to trunk. Nothing rips, rolls around, etc.

Barb on CW has posted the entire UPC list, but at 214 items, it’s a little too long for a post, dontchathink? If I get enough requests for it, though, I’ll definitely post. Will also add other prices when I get them.
Jewel card promotion
I’ve been sitting here wondering what any of my readers could possibly do with a $1,000 Jewel gift card. Would it even be possible to spend that much money, considering how low we manage to keep our totals? So I came up with a scenario for anyone winning a $1,000 gift card:
Buy five of the Igloo freezers, keep the coupons and sell the freezers (list free on Craigslist or Bookoo) for $100 cash. You’re $500 bucks ahead, you’ve got lots of coupons for free stuff and still have cash on the gift card. If you win a lesser amount, just buy however many freezers you can!
Jewel Spring Thing promotion
Since everybody and her brother has already posted the Jewel gift card promotion, I figured I wouldn’t need to…but on the off-chance you haven’t yet seen this, Jewel, together with Maytag, is running a daily promotion called “It’s a Spring Thing.” You enter your email and an optional code and click play. Three grocery bags appear and you click each one to see if you are an instant winner of a gift card valued from $25 up to $1000 (yes, one of MUM’s readers won that biggie); all entries are placed into the grand prize drawing for $10,000 of Maytag appliances. Starting 3/20, you can enter more than one time using codes generated by purchasing two or more of the participating “It’s a Spring Thing” products:

Day trippin’
From now on I’m going to start taking people’s advice: don’t post the deals until you’ve gotten your limit…hit Jewel this afternoon to score more Purex but it was all gone. There was a shelf of Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin for $1.75, so I grabbed 6 of them, and will return with the $1/2 coupons (2/13 s). Wanted to try the Propel Zero, so chucked 20 into my cart. Now, on what other site could you read a statement like that and not find it odd? Just so you know that not everything is free in my universe, I also picked up two bags of the spring mix lettuce, a package of pita bread and two bottles of magnesium on clearance for 6.89. When paying down the subtotal with Register Rewards or any other cat, it’s important to subtract the value of coupons you’ll be returning with. In this case, I have a $3/30 cat and the 3 $1 detergent coupons, so I brought my subtotal down to $8.39; I’ll get back $6 to end up at $2.39 actual OOP.
On to Wags...I don’t have a picture because most of the stuff isn’t in yet. It’s easier to pay and then wait. So imagine 25 12-pks of Coke Zero, 8 Purex Complete 3-in-1 and 4 Right Guard body wash. Used the $2/1 Wags coupon on the Coke (which was still $3), a BOGO rain check for the Purex and 8 $3 coupons and 2 BOGO Right Guard coupons. Everything was high tax, dammit, so after using a shitload of RRs (remember, the 25 Coke Zeros did not have a mfr coupon attached to them), I ended up paying $6.48.
