Jewel 1/8 - 1/14

The GREAT P&G, GM & Coke sale continues at Jewel! This will be the last week - they don't usually go longer than this, so get any coupons together and put yor transactions together to get the best bang for your buck. If you don't subscribe to a paper, Dollar Tree and Woodman's both sell the early edition of the Tribune for $1 on Saturday, complete with inserts - it's also a good idea to get the paper on Saturday because there are sometimes coupons in there for current sales.

Some other great sales going on at Jewel include the Nestle spend $20 get $5 instantly. Because this is an instant discount, it is based on the sale prices. Check your ad for a full list of participating products, but some are Edy's ice cream, Purina dog food, Lean Cuisine, and Juicy Juice.

A few other deals:

Buy 2 - 64 oz bottles Ocean Spray Grapefruit Juice (at 2/$4) get a 5 lb. bag of grapefruit FREE. This is a GREAT price just for the juice but to get the fruit on top of it is an even better deal! Update: Make this deal even better with the $1 coupon in Sunday's SS insert. If you have 2 coupons, pay only $2 for 2 bottles of juice and 5 lbs of grapefruit!
Rice-A-Roni is on sale 8 for $10 - not bad, but buy all 8 and ANY meat and get $5 off. Then they will be 8 for $5 AND if you have coupons from 1/4 RP, there is a $1/4 in there and you will pay only $4 or $3 for all 8 if you have two coupons.

Free Johnson Buddie Bars



If you're not familiar with these kid-friendly floatable soaps, they can be found at Target and Walmart for under $1 - making them free with coupons. Click here for a $3 off 3 printable or there were coupons in the 1/4 SS as well. I have also used them as "fillers". Say you have a $5 off $25 coupon at Meijer and you're at $22. Pick up 3 of these to get you over the $25 mark, use your Meijer coupon first, and then scan any manufacturer coupons you have. These bars are a little more expensive at Meijer ($1.09 per bar last time I bought them), but I'll gladly pay $.27 to save $5. You will begin to have a plethora of buddie bars.

P&G Coupon Book



If you're enjoying the sale at Jewel, you have probably already met the requirement for this FREEBIE. Spend $50 on Proctor and Gamble products and get a coupon book with $120 in coupons. P&G products include Charmin, Bounty, Pampers, Iams dog food, Always Infinity, Tide, Febreze and Puffs, just to name a few. The purchase requirement is the price of the item BEFORE coupons so the Bounty and Pampers are worth $10 each towards the goal. The Charmin is $12.99.
Here is a sample of some of the HIGH VALUE coupons you'll find in the booklet:


$1/1 Charmin toilet paper (3 coupons)
$1/1 Crest toothpaste (3 coupons)
$1/1 Duracell batteries (3 coupons)
$2/1 Pampers diapers (3 coupons)
$1/1 Pringles Sticks or Snack Stacks (2 coupons)

Jewel Day 2



The fruit snack deal wasn't working today. So I had to revise my game plan. Today's haul:

5 24 big roll packs of Charmin
32 various boxes of cereal
1 box of Puffs

Total OOP: $16.00 exactly
Total Savings: $203.95

ROUND 2: (I had to do something constructive during Cubscouts) (no pictures)

15 boxes cereal (Fiber One and Cheerios)
2 boxes Pizza Rolls
1 box Fiber One Toaster Pastries [healthy(?) Pop-Tarts]

Total OOP:$2.28
Total Savings: $67.43
But I also 'earned' 2 $5 catalinas I didn't have before so they basically 'Paid' me $7.72 to take all this home.

Jewel Day 1



What an incredible sale Jewel is having! Get there if you can! For my readers who have an Albertson's close by - this is coming to you - don't miss out! This was 11 or 12 separate transactions, which kept the OOP low.

Total OOP: less than $33.74
Total Savings: $484.81
Items:
32 Febreze (these were a money maker so I had to buy them)
48 boxes fruit snacks (again a money maker and only $.21 OOP for 12 boxes)
11 boxes Go-gurt
12 packages Yoplait kids yogurt
1 bag Thomas' mini bagels (lunch)
1 package drinkable yogurt (lunch - not pictured)
1 package Fiber One yogurt
5 Always Infinity
6 6 packs Sprite and Coke
7 bisquik
1 Fiber One Pancake mix
5 Fuze drinks

3 8 lb packages Iams Smart Puppy (for my oldest daughter's dog)

16 Garnier haircare products (walgreens)

I think that's everything, but I may be forgetting something since it's all been put away. Day 2 is cereal and more fruit snacks day.

FREE Garnier at Walgreens!

Hopefully you got lots of papers this weekend because this week Garnier is on sale at Walgreens for $2.99. Use the $1 coupon from Sunday's inserts and the $2 Walgreens coupon in the Easy Saver book to get it FREE!

Also a good deal this week is Palmolive dish washing liquid. It is $1.79. Use the $.25 coupon from the 1-4 SS and the $1 store coupon in the flyer to pay $.54!

Another good deal is Electrasol dishwasher detergent. There is a $2.50 coupon again in Sunday's paper. There is also a $1.50 rebate (limit 1) but this makes it FREE with overage! Editted to add: Electrasol is also on sale at Target for $3.25, so only $.75 after the coupon.

Happy Shopping!

Jewel Buy $30 get $15 back

This is one of those incredible stock-up sales! Remember that these deals run off the prices the register rings before Preferred Card savings! The ad lists that the prices are effective through the 7th but that the Catalina deal runs through the 14th. That makes it a little confusing but here are some of the REALLY great deals:

Pampers jumbo diapers normally $12.49 on sale for $10 - purchase 3 and get not $15, but $20 back in Catalinas due to a separate deal (spend $25 or more on baby products - get $5 back) that is running. There are also Pampers wipes 2/$10 included in this deal. Here's an idea (I'm out of the diaper phase so you'll have to try this one on your own) buy 2 packs of diapers and one of wipes $25 and get $20 back - $5 for that bundle is a STEAL! Any coupons you have will only make this better. I understand there are some $3 coupons out there but don't know the source. There are also some free Kandoo wipe coupons - also don't have the source on those. Coupontom.com is an awesome site for finding what current coupons are out there.

Tide 75-100 oz liquid on sale for $11.47 (normally $15.99) Buy 2 - use the $1 off coupons in the 12/28 PG get $15 back. Here's the math:
$11.47
$11.47
-$1.00
-$1.00
=$20.94
-$15 back
=$5.94 ... less than $3 a bottle!

Bounty 8 pack Giant Roll normally $14.99 on sale for $10. You'll need a small filler item for these and since there were 25 cent coupons in Sunday's paper, it's a great one. Also, make sure to activate your Avenu savings before you shop for an additional $1 off each on the Bounty. There are 25 cent coupons in the 12/28 P&G as well:

$10.00 Bounty
$10.00 Bounty
$1.50 Fuze
-$1.00 (Avenu savings)
-$1.00 (Avenu savings)
-$.75 (2 - $.25 Bounty & 1 - $.25 Fuze)
$18.75
-$15 back
$3.75 for 2 huge packs of Bounty and a drink to keep you going!

Dasani Water 24 pack .5 L normally $6.99 on sale for $5
4 packs will get you to $26.96 - add in a box of any of the cereals to get over $30. Here are how the sale prices add up:
$20 (4 x $5)
$ 2
-$.75 printable on cheerios
$21.75
-$15 back
=$6.75 for 96 bottles of water and a box of cereal
