$19.99 4-pack is Back at Jewel & GM buy 10 get $10 deal

I'm not loving it though. The chicken is higher priced this time ($2.66.lb as opposed to $1.99 last time). It still works the same way - (4 packs of fav 4 meat - $4.10 automatic discount) - so choose your packages wisely. One item to stock up on - not part of the Fav-4, would be Johnsonville sausages. They are on sale 2/$5 - use this coupon and pay $2.50 for 3 packages. It's a pdf so you can print more than 1. Just be aware the coupon is not coded to take the $5 off automatically. It will beep and the cashier will have to enter it manually.

UPDATE: The Jewels in Elgin have the Johnsonville on sale 3/$5 - FREE with the coupon - just pay tax (about $.09 on $5) through next Wednesday - please leave some for me :-)

The General Mills buy 10 get $10 promotion is advertised in this week's circular. Buy any 10 participating products (see ad for items) get $10 back. The best item to buy is the Pillsbury Grands. 10 will cost $12.50 but there are $.75/3 blinkies (use 3) to pay only $10.25 (if you have a $10 ConAgra cat use that as well and pay only $.25) - you will get a $10 catalina back. You can mix and match the items as well. I bought 6 Betty Crocker Warm Delights and 4 Grands - used 6 $.50 coupons on the Warm Delights and 2 - $.50 coupons I had for the grands - I did use a $10 catalina from the ConAgra promotion - Total OOP $.96 + tax.

The unadvertised ConAgra promotion at Jewel

This deal is currently unadvertised and has had some hiccups and glitches up to this point but is working for the most part. The risk you take in working an unadvertised deal is that if it doesn't work, the store may not honor the promotion without the ad. But if you don't mind the risk - the pay-off can be incredible. The promotion is buy $25 of participating products and get a $10 catalina for your next shopping trip. Since this is a catalina deal, it works off of shelf prices (you don't actually have to spend $25 - just $25 worth (at regular prices)) and it does roll (you can use the $10 catalina on your next transaction). It will be advertised in the 2/26 ad but you can get a head start on it now. The best way to work this deal is to find the items you use that are on a deep discount. Then, with the catalina deal, they are free or close to it. For example, right now Swiss Miss hot chocolate is on sale for $1. The shelf price varies by store but I have seen it as high as $2.55 (West Dundee). This means by buying 10, you will hit the required amount ($25.50) but pay only $10 and get the $10 catalina back, which you could then use to buy another 10 and pay only $.18 (tax). The Pam is another fairly deep discount. You would need to buy 6 (regular price is $4.25) and pay $18 (use your previously acquired $10 catalina and 6 of the $.35 coupon from 1/18SS to reduce your oop $4.90 for 6 - less than a $1 a can.) Or mix and match with the Swiss Miss. Sales like this are how you can build your food storage for very little OOP. Watch your ad for sale prices on the following items:
