Jewel Freezer Coupon Match-ups

For those of you who were able to get a freezer last week-end at Jewel - hold on to those coupons! The coupons were for $150 worth of FREE food. If you hang on to the coupons until the items are on sale Buy One Get One, you will get TWO for FREE (another trick of couponers to maximize their savings)and you'll actually get $300 worth of FREE food. Right now Deans Ice cream and Baldwin Ice Cream are BOGO - so clip those coupons and go get 4 containers of Ice Cream for FREE.

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:

Getting Ready for the Big Game

Oaky, so I know the SuperBowl is on a Sunday and no one is watching. You're all going to TiVo it right? But just in case you're having a get together this weekend, here are some ideas to make it cheaper.

Hormel Party Trays are on sale $12.99, when you buy one, you get a free 8-piece chicken (coupon in store) or $7.00 towards any Chef's Kitchen chicken purchase AND when you get the 8-piece chicken, you get 2 - 2L bottles of ANY Coca-cola product (coupon in store). So for $12.99, you get snacks, chicken & drinks. That's $10 worth of food FREE. This would be an example of stacking deals.

Nabisco crackers are on sale for $2 (Triscuit & Wheat Thins & others) and $3 (Ritz). When you buy 3, you get a free Kraft cheese (all participating crackers and cheese are marked in the store). If you use the $2/2 coupon for the crackers from the 11/25 SS and buy 3 $2 crackers, you will pay $4 for 3 boxes of crackers and cheese. Some stores have $.75 coupons (blinkies) for the cheese and you can use this as well, then you'll be paying $3.25 for the same. If you happen to have 2 coupons, you'll still pay the same, but get 4 boxes of crackers.

Need more coupons?

Did you forget to get the paper? Or do you just want more of a certain one (like the $2.50 Electrasol coupon - FYI some Jewels have the lemon scented on clearance for $1.99 - they will PAY you to take it home with this coupon - just make sure you get something else to use your overage)? Visit the coupon clippers to get additional coupons.

FREE Cherry 7up with antioxidants at Jewel TODAY ONLY

Today (Saturday) only, you can get a 2L bottle of Cherry 7-up with Antioxidants (so here's an oxymoron - healthy soda?). It is limit 1 per customer so this would be a good time to shop with the ENTIRE family. Normally I don't advocate that. The coupons are at the registers or customer service (that's where they were at the 2 stores I went to). Pick up your cheap butter and chicken breasts while you're at it.

Cheap Chicken Breast & Butter at Jewel

Jana H. this deal is for you. Jewel is running their meat 4-pak special again. On the surface it just seems like an okay deal because it's $19.99 for any 4 paks of meat that are included. If you can't find the right packages it is just okay. However, the chicken breast packages that are part of the deal are $1.50/lb. A decent price BUT if you buy 4 packages of chicken breasts and you choose the least expensive packages you can find (preferably under $4) the price per lb drops like a rock! After the 4th package is scanned, you will get an automatic discount of $4.10, so it's like buying 3 and getting the 4th free. My packages were all about $4.30 and with the discount, the price/lb was $1.15. Obviously, if you can find cheaper packages, it's a better deal because the discount is a fixed $4.10. There are 5 breasts per package. There may be some stew meat packages that would fall into this deal also but I wasn't able to find any at the store I went to.

Butter is also $1.77 through Saturday.
