All Good Things Must Come to an End

I am in mourning......deal seekers, super-couponers and extreme couponers - it's a sad, sad day. 

According to the Super-Couponing Blog, Jewel stores have made some BIG changes to the way Catalina promos are running at their stores.  For those of you that have had the wonderful experience of shopping at Jewel you will know what I am talking about when I tell you that there are no longer going to be ANY price spreads on the threshold amounts for meeting the required purchase for Catalina promos.  Yes, I feel your pain. 

You can read the original post here at the Super-Couponing site.  Here it is in a nutshell:

"Corporate has confirmed that the big Catalina update (in which the deals were totally down on Monday) also fixed the price "spread" in Catalina deals that many of us have enjoyed for quite some time. (And honestly... who didn't think that "someday," this would be fixed?)

Rest assured that we'll still continue to see great deals - the current $30/$10 diapers deal runs on regular prices and is still fabulous. But for anyone who had trouble with the ice cream deal after Monday of this week - this is why. Thanks to Tracey for confirming with corporate."

This is also being slowly confirmed over at CW by trial and error.  It appears that some stores have already downloaded the new software and this is already working.  If the store has not downloaded the new software, the Catalina's are still printing on the price spread between preferred and shelf price.

Jewel Freezer Sale 2/27 *UPDATED*

The Jewel freezer sale is scheduled for 2/27.  You will be able to purchase a chest freezer for $159.00 this year, which is a $10 increase from last year.  Included with your purchase is $160.00 in coupons for FREE freezer food items.  If you hold onto these coupons and watch for a B1G1F sale, you can double the value of those coupons.  In the past, many of the items that were part of the freezer sale coupons went on sale B1G1F.   I don't have a list of the coupons included yet, but if I see one soon I will post it.  Jewel has changed the rules a bit for purchasing these freezers. This year you will only be able to purchase one freezer per customer and you will only be able to use one store coupon (example:$5 off $50 purchase) and one Catalina coupon (example: $XX OYNO) when paying for your freezer.  The quantities are limited so if you intend on getting one of these, make sure you are at the store early on the 27th!

Upcoming Jewel Promos

For those of you who have been yearning for a Jewel Catalina promo, or those chomping at the bit to try one out, I have a ray of sunshine for you on this dreary, gloomy day! 

Over on CW it is being reported that there's a couple upcoming Catalina promos in our future!  Sharpen your scissors, gas up the car and get ready to save!!  Here's the details:

There's a ConAgra Catalina promo scheduled for 2/10 thru 2/16.   This one is being reported as a "spend $25 get $10 OYNO".  There's no UPC list available at this time, but as soon as I see one I will share it with you. 

It's also rumored that there will be a General Mills Catalina promo sometime at the end of February or beginning of March.  This one is being reported as a "spend $30 get $15 OYNO".   A store manager at Jewel let this out of the bag to a shopper who reported back on CW. 

While I cannot guarantee these will happen, it is nice to know that there's a possibility of something right around the corner.  For those of you who have never shopped a Catalina promo at Jewel, you might want to start reading here so you are ready to hit the store when these roll out.

Jewel Freezer Sale

Many of you have heard me talk about the freezers that Jewel sells every year.  They always have the freezers for sale in February and it has been confirmed over on CW that the freezer sale will be held again this year. 

Here's how it has worked in the past: Jewel will offer a nice chest freezer for right about $149.00.  They will be sold on a weekend (usually the first or second weekend in February), starting around 6AM.  These freezers go extremely fast, so you want to get there early if you think that you want one.  Each store only has a set number of these freezers and once they are gone, you don't get another shot until next February.  The reason why these are such a hot item?  Not only is $149 a really good price on a chest freezer, the freezer always comes with $150 in coupons for FREE items to fill your freezer with.  These are not $ off coupons...these are coupons for FREE items.  And it gets even better - most of these items that the coupons are for usually go on sale B1G1F at some point before the coupons expire.  When you use a FREE item coupon in conjunction with a B1G1F sale, you get TWO for FREE! 

There is usually info ahead of time on when the exact date will be and a listing of all the coupons that are included as part of the coupon package that comes with the freezer.  That info isn't available just yet, but as soon as I see it I will pass it along to you.  In the meantime, if you are interested in this freezer deal, start setting aside some money to get one of these.  You can use Register Rewards to pay for the freezer too! 

Sunday 11/14 Coupons

I want to point out a few things about the newspapers today so that you don't miss out on some good coupons. 

First, it was being reported that there was going to be 3 coupon inserts this week, but all my newspapers had 4!  YAY!  It's great when you get more than expected.  There's 2 RP, 1 SS and 1 GM - a good week to grab an extra paper if you can.  Don't accidentally recycle your GM since you weren't expecting it.  There's a lot of Unilever coupons in one of the RP which will pay off big time if Jewel gives us a Unilever Catalina promo sometime soon (we are due for one is what I am trying to say!). 

If your paper has the USA Weekend magazine, on the back cover you will find a manufacturer coupon for 2 FREE 5x7 HP photo greeting cards.  Just in time for the holidays. 

If your paper has the Parade magazine, inside there's coupons there too.  There are two manufacturer coupons for Theraflu products.  These are sometimes a MM at Wags or other stores so clip these and hang onto them - unless you actually NEED Theraflu now (I hope you don't!). 

Lastly, page 9 of the Chicago Tribune has some Jewel store coupons that you are going to want to check out.  Last year, right around this time we saw crazy deals on turkey and ham that are unheard of.  I think I remember picking up a whole turkey and a whole spiral cut ham for about $6 OOP.  YES!  So just clip these out and hang onto them, we may see some similar deals like that come around again.  (I certainly hope we do!)  You might want to consider playing "freezer tetris" to get ready for a nice big turkey or ham just in case. 

I just have one more item to point out in what was included in our Sunday paper today.  It's not a coupon, just an observation with a commentary.  I had a good laugh this morning at the Wal-mart propaganda ad showing a 19% savings over Jewel.  Really Wal-mart?!?!?  If you didn't see it, the ad compares TWO identical grocery carts with a cost of $108.65 @ Jewel and $87.57 @ Wal-mart.  Sorry, Wal-mart, the proof is in the pudding - you can't fool me!!  :)

Attention Jewel Shoppers: Watch Your Mail!

If you have a Jewel preferred card you are going to want to watch your snail-mail for some coupons directly from Jewel.  Just today I received this lovely assortment of manufacturer and store coupons.  Make sure you don't throw this away thinking it's just "junk" mail. 

Here's what was included in mine: (all exp. 12/5/10)

$1.00 off ONE Ice Mountain
$1.50 off TWO Wesson Oils
$1.00 off TWO Welch's sparkling grape juice
$.70 off any ONE Jewel lunch meat
$1.00 off any 4 Campbell's gravies
$2.00 off any ONE Heineken or Amstel Light 12 pack
$1.00 off any ONE Nestle Toll House refrigerated dough

and 2 - $6 off any $60 purchase coupons (with staggered exp. dates thru 11/20/10)

 YAY -  Can't wait to work a great deal on these!

Also, when you shop at Jewel you are going to want to watch the Catalina machines closely.  It's being reported on CW that random Catalina's for FREE items are printing out.  Here's what I have seen so far:

Free 1lb Jewel Butter/Margarine (max $4)
Free 4-5lb Jewel Flour (max $2.50)
Free Dozen Jewel Eggs (max $2.40)

So, if you aren't expecting a Catalina still make sure to check the machine - you never know what you might end up with!

Jewel Ad Highlights 10/21 thru 10/27

Have you come down from your Catalina high yet?  With the past couple weeks of Catalina promos Jewel has given us couponers a break this week.

There's not a whole lot going on, but if you have some Catalinas that you need to spend before they expire, here's some things that look like a good deal:

Value Wise Russet Potatoes are on sale for $1.28 for a 5lb. bag, limit 2.

The Culinary Circle frozen pizzas are $3.99 each (these are VERY yummy frozen pizzas!)

Three day sale, 10/21 thru 10/23: .99 lb Crimson Seedless Grapes, .99 lb Jewel split chicken breasts. 

If you didn't get your General Mills cereals last week, you can get select cereals this week 2/$5 and a Catalina for a FREE gallon of milk will print out if you purchase 4.  Participating cereals are: Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Multi Grain Cheerios and Kix.  I wasn't able to find any coupon match-ups for this sale. 

There's a Instant Savings Spotlight sale running on mostly ConAgra items.  Purchase 10 items and get a $2 instant deduction on your receipt.  If you didn't get what you needed from the ConAgra Catalina promo recently these are not bad prices.  The items come out to be .80 each after the Instant Savings Spotlight.  When you pair that with any coupons you find these are reasonable prices.  To see all the items in the ad that are included, check here.

There's also s 10 for $10 mix and match sale going on so check the ad for those products also.  You might find something that you need there.

If you go to the store, grab an ad at the door.  There are some and manufacturer coupons inside - check them out!

All in all, not a great week (unless you NEED this stuff) so if you can hang onto your Catalinas, I would recommend doing so to see if next week pans out to be better. 

New/Reset Quaker Oats $2 Off Printable

Remember that great $2.00 off Quaker Oats printable coupon I mentioned here?  It's either been reset or there's a new one here.  You are going to want to print this one quick because it's going to go fast!  Remember, you can get the boxes at Jewel this week for .50 each with this coupon. 

Thanks, Money Saving Madness for this awesome link!

Jewel Ad Highlights for 10/14 thru 10/20

Thursday starts a new sale week at Jewel stores.  Goodbye ConAgra....Hello General Mills!! 

The big draw for Jewel will be the GM Catalina promo and sale that starts on 10/14.  Spend $25 in participating products and receive a $10 OYNO Catalina.  There is a UPC list (courtesy of CW) and if you need it just let me know - I will share!  Some participating products are: Totino's, Green Giant, Betty Crocker, Progresso, Chex, Bugles, Pillsbury, Fiber One and Yoplait. There are loads of printable coupons to match up to this sale.  Check out Smartsource, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, General Mills, Box Tops and Coupons.com for these.  If you are new to shopping at Jewel stores, here's a great place to learn the ropes!

When I checked the list of national Catalinas running 10/4 thru 10/31 there's a couple that appear to be "double dips" with the GM promo.  According to the master list Betty Crocker fruit snacks and Betty Crocker frostings are national Catalinas running at the same time.  If you would like the list of national Catalinas send me a note and I will be happy to share.  We won't know for sure if they are double dipping until after the sale starts, and if I get info that it is working I will update this post accordingly. 

Aside from the GM Catalina promo, there's not much going on.  If you were lucky enough to grab the $2.00 off Quaker oatmeal coupon that was available on Facebook a few days ago you could snag these for .50 a box because they are on sale 2/$5 (instant oatmeal or oatmeal to go).

Jewel Ad Highlights for 10/7 thru 10/13

The Fav 4 meat sale is back again - mix and match 4 packages of participating meats.  The best deal here is with the smallest size packages that you can find.  If you have never shopped the Fav 4 sale before, you can read more about it here.   I have a UPC list that has worked for most of the Fav 4 sales, if you need it just let me know.   Combine this sale with some of those $1.00 Meat WT's and the deal just got sweeter. 

A ConAgra Catalina promo is running from 10/3 thru 10/14.  Spend $25 on participating products and receive a $10 OYNO Catalina.  Sale prices start on 10/7.  There's an extensive UPC list and if you need it I will share it with you, just send me a note.  All the usual suspects are part of this promo. 

There's a three day sale running from 10/7 thru 10/9 with bananas for .38/lb., 2L bottles of 7-Up, Dr. Pepper, A&W & Sunkist for .77 each, and Fritos or Cheetos for $1.69 a bag. 

Lastly, don't forget to grab your stickers for the Cookware promo running at Jewel thru 1/26/11 when you check out. 

Looking ahead, there's a GM Catalina promo coming along after the ConAgra - more details to follow soon!

Jewel Ad Highlights for 9/30 thru 10/6

The Procter and Gamble Catlaina Promo continues with a $10 OYNO for $30 in participating products purchased.  If you would like the UPC list, I would be happy to share it with you.  Remember, use the "shelf" price to get to the $30 threshold.  If you are new or need a refresher, check here for more info. 

Looking ahead, there's a ConAgra Catalina promo scheduled to start 10/3 and run thru 10/14.  Buy $25 in participating products and receive a $10 OYNO Catalina.  Thanks to CW, I have the extensive UPC list already.  Let me know if you want it.

Finally seems like Jewel is back in the swing of things!

$110 in P&G Coupons

Here's a link for another P&G coupon booklet.  This offer runs from August 20, 2010 thru December 31, 2010 (my birthday!) and requests must be postmarked by 1/14/2011.  Just purchase $50 in P&G products between the above dates, fill out the printable form at the P&G link and mail it in.  This one should be easy, peasy with the P&G Catalina promo that started at Jewel stores today.

Jewel Ad Highlights for 9/23

Here's a few of the highlights from the Jewel ad for 9/23 thru 9/29.   To see the ad on 9/23 go here. 

Doritos are on sale 2 for $4 so if you were lucky enough to get your hands on the $2 Salty Snack WT's I mentioned here, you can get these FREE.

There's a "Savings Spotlight" promo that gives you a $5 instant savings for each 10 participating items that you purchase.  There's a UPC list (thanks to CW) so if you need it, let me know.  Some of the items included are: Coke products, Healthy Choice, Marie Callender's, Kid Cuisine, Tony's, Brownberry Health-full 10 grain bread, Ice Mountain, Powerade, Propel, SoBe, Bird's Eye, Jose Ole, Ore-Ida, Chi-Chi's salsa, Hershey's baking chips, People Magazine, Planters, Gatorade, Crisco, Keebler, Snyder's, Sunshine Cheez-It, Kellog's, Quaker and Wisk.  Buying 10 particpating items esentially gives you a .50 discount on each item.  If you found those $3.00 mixer WT's also mentioned here you can grab some Coke products for FREE.  There's also a Brownberry coupon for .55 off in the 8/15 SS, a Wisk coupon for $3 off in the 8/29 RP and a $1.00 off  TWO Cheez-It coupon in the 8/29 RP.  There may be more coupons for participating items, these are just the ones that I looked up. 

The Cole's breadsticks are on sale B1G1 this week so if you weren't able to get them last week you can get them this week.  Don't forget to grab the coupon that I posted about here.  Printing it twice gets you two boxes for $2.49. 

Lastly, I wanted to mention that there's a P&G Catalina promo scheduled to start on 9/24 and it runs thru 10/6.  Spend $30 in P&G participating products and receive a Catalina for $10 OYNO.  I have the UPC list so if you want to get a jump start on this one I'd be happy to share it with you - just let me know.  Some P&G products are on sale in the ad that starts 9/23.  Luckily there's also scheduled to be a P&G insert in this Sunday's paper and the last P&G insert coupons from 8/29 don't expire until 9/30 so there's time on this promo to use both sets of insert coupons.  (Thanks to CW for the info on this Catalina promo!)

Jewel 9/16 thru 9/22 Preview

If you are looking to get a jump on your Jewel shopping for this next week I have some of the details and info you will need for the sale that starts 9/16 (Thurs). 

There's an instant "savings spotlight" sale that saves you $3 for each 6 participating product that you purchase. After the instant savings are applied your cost is .99 each before coupons.  There are a few items pictured in the ad, but there's more to it when you see the UPC list.  If you would like the UPC list, send me a message and I will be happy to forward it to you.  Some items listed are Betty Crocker baking mixes, Warm Delights, Bisquick, Gold Metal flour and Peter Pan.  I know there's many coupons out there that match up to these products, and don't forget to check your ConAgra coupon home mailer that has a $1.00/2 Peter Pan coupon in it. 

There's a Suave Catalina promo also running 9/16 thru 9/22 and there's a couple "Double Dips" involved with this one.  Purchase $10 in participating products and receive a $3 Catalina OYNO.  I have a current UPC list with a list of the UPC's that double dip.  I'll gladly share if you request it.  The double dip products are part of a Catalina promo that generates a $2 OYNO Catalina when you purchase 2 products.  There's a printable coupon that lines up with the Naturals Body Lotion on the double dip products list here. 

There's a new Labels for Education promo starting on the 16th as well.  Purchasing $15 in participating products will earn you 500 Labels for Education Bonus Points for your school of choice.  I  don't have this UPC list, but as soon as I get it I will update this post.  I wanted to point out that there's printable coupons for many of these products here.  Products listed in the ad are Spaghetti O's, Chunky Soups, Campbell's Condensed soups, Pop Secret and Swanson Broths. 

Lastly, Cole's breadsticks (these are YUMMY!) are on sale $3.49 - B1G1.  There's a printable coupon for .50 off one Cole's breadstick product here.  You will be able to print this coupon twice per computer if you hit the back button.  Use TWO of these and get TWO packages of breadsticks for $2.49. 

When you check out at Jewel, don't forget to get your stickers for the cookware promo running thru early 2011.  For every $10 spent (pre-coupon) you will get one sticker.  Save up the stickers to purchase professional quality cookwear for .01 each.  Even if you aren't saving them for yourself, grab them because I am sure you have friends who are saving them (hint, hint!).  You can always trade these with your frugal friends for coupons that you can use! 

Happy Shopping!

Jewel Salad Deal 9/14

I was at Jewel today picking up a few things from the General Mills Catalina promo going on right now and I found a great deal on salad and feta cheese.  You will first need to head over to Facebook here and grab the B1G1F coupon that is offered when you "like" Athenos feta cheese.  You should be able to print it twice if you need it. 

Athenos feta cheese is on sale at Jewel right now 2/$5.  Grab two of these, one will be free so it will cost you $2.50.  Next, head on over to the produce department where the Fresh Express salads are $3.49 - B1G1F.  Grab two of these, and right in front of the bags of salad is a tearpad that you NEED to make this deal really work for you.  I found these at the Sycamore Jewel today so if you are shopping at any other Jewel store it may be hit or miss.  The tearpad is for $1.00 off lettuce or bagged salad when you purchase one Athenos cheese.  Since you are buying TWO bags of salad and TWO feta cheese you need TWO of these $1.00 tearpad coupons. 

You will pay the $2.50 for the two packages of feta cheese and only $1.49 for two bags of salad.  $3.99 for all four packages and if you are a fan of feta cheese you know this is an awesome deal!  This is usually pricey cheese.  I see some Greek salad in my future!  Enjoy!

Jewel Promo 7/29 thru 8/4

On Thursday there's a new promo running at Jewel.  Purchase $30 in participating P & G products and receive a coupon at the Catalina machine to redeem for $10 off your next Gift Card Mall purchase. 

I have the UPC list for this promo, send me a note if you are interested and I will e-mail it to you.

You may be able to combine this promo with the Olay $20 Rebate I posted about here.  There are some Olay products included. 

Since this doesn't start until tomorrow it's hard to say how this one is going to work.  You should  be able to take that Catalina that prints out and go grab any gift card that Jewel sells and have it activated at the register with your coupon.  If this is the case, Jewel gift cards should be included in this promo, which means then you could turn around and use it to do another P & G gift card deal.  The nice thing about this, if it works this way, is that these don't expire like regular Catalina coupons do!  You could hold onto these gift cards for as long as you like. 

***NOTE: 7/29 - It has been reported that Jewel gift cards are specifically excluded from this promo!***

If you try this one out, let me know how it works out for you.  If I read any news on the blogs on how this one is working, or if I try it myself, I will report back.

Jewel: Ice Cream Catalina 8/5 thru 8/11

Here comes another ice cream Catalina!  This Catalina alert came out of the Catalina machine at Jewel so I am not sure if this one is a national Catalina or just specific to Jewel.  The details are the same as the past two ice cream Catalinas:

Get a $4 Catalina OYNO when you buy $12 worth of any of the products listed below between 8/5 - 8/11:

Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream or Ice Cream Bars - any size
EDY'S Branded Products - any size
EDY'S Fruit Bars - any size
DIB'S Bite Sized Frozen Snacks - any size
NESTLE DRUMSTICK Frozen Dairy Dessert Cones - any size
ESKIMO PIE Frozen Dairy Dessert Bars - any size
THE SKINNY COW Frozen Treats - any size
FROSTY PAWS Frozen Treats for Dogs - 4pk

Not familiar with shopping at Jewel?  Read through my post here and you will be ready to tackle shopping at Jewel!

Kraft Catalina 7/19 thru 8/15

Is anyone else ready for a Catalina promo?  It seems as if there just have not been that many lately.  I am looking forward to this one:

Buy 5 items Save $5 OYNO & Kraft will donate 5 meals to Feeding America

Items listed (6 oz or larger only unless otherwise specified):
Kraft Singles
Kraft Parmesan Cheese
Kraft Natural Cheese (chunks, shredded, crumbles 5 oz +, sticks & cubes)
Kraft String-Ums cheese
Kraft Cracker Cuts Cheese
Kraft Deli Deluxe cheese slices

Velveeta Cheese products
Cracker Barrel 5 oz +
Cheeze Whiz
Breakstone Sour Cream 16 oz +
Breakstone Cottage Cheese 16 oz +
Knudsen Sour Cream 16 oz +
Knudsen Cottage Cheese 16 oz +

This one appears to be a national Catalina promo because it is being reported at Jewel stores and Kroger stores.  Get those Kraft coupons ready! 

I don't have a UPC list yet, but when I do I will update this post and I would be happy to share it with you if you need it.

(Thanks to CW & my frugal friend Tara for this info!)

Jewel Store Coupons

Recently Jewel has been generous with store coupons.  If you are signed up at their website you probably have been receiving regular store coupons lately in your inbox, with a variety of coupons from meats to breads. 

If you want to grab two new store coupons, here's how:  Head over to sign up for their weekly e-mails here.  Even if you are already signed up, you can do it again just to get these TWO coupons.  Register with your info and then enter the promo code: PRODUCE to get a $2.00 store coupon off ANY produce priced $2.00 or more OR enter the code: FREEBREAD to get a store coupon for FREE bakery bread (maximum value $3.00).  The dates these coupons are valid are 7/12 - 7/26.  The great thing about this is that these are an unlimited print coupon, so print as many as you can use before they expire.  The fine print is extremely hard to read on the printed coupon so it's hard to tell if these can be used multiple times in one transaction.  

If you have more than one card you can register both and use one promo code per card to get both coupons, or you can register the same card twice using both promo codes to get the coupons. 

A big THANKS to my frugal friend Tara for e-mailing me this great tip!

Jewel 7/8 thru 7/14

There's a couple Catalina promos going on at Jewel right now that overlap each other for a "Double Dip" on certain products.  For those that don't know, a Double Dip is when products overlap and are part of TWO Catalina promos at the same time.  If you play the game right you can double the bang for your buck when you combine the two Catalina promos at once. 

Both promos running are for P & G products:

The first promo is running 7/8 thru 7/14.  Spend $30 in participating Procter & Gamble products in a single transaction and get a $15 iTunes gift card. 

The second promo is running 7/4 thru 7/31.  Buy 3 participating Procter & Gamble products and get $5 OYNO in the form of a Catalina coupon.

I have the UPC lists for these promos already so if you need them just send me a note and I will forward them.  I also have a UPC list broken down by just the Double Dip products which should make this easy to shop.  There should be many P&G coupons to work into this promo since we just had the P&G insert on 7/5.  Coupon Tom or the Deal Seeking Mom coupon database, both linked on the right sidebar, can be used to find coupons for your list.

I also noticed that 2L bottles of Coke are on sale for 10 for $10 again.  If you found any of those tear-pads that I mentioned here, you can get FREE bottles of Coke. 

There's quite a few items that are on sale B1G1 this week at Jewel also, go here to check this week's ad.  Remember you can use TWO coupons on B1G1 items, one on the one you are buying and one on the FREE item. 

Lastly, Rold Gold pretzels are on sale for $2.59 a bag.  If you need pretzels to use up all that Dean's pretzel dip you picked up during the June Dairy Month Catalina promo this is an OK deal.  Buy TWO bags and use the $1.00 off 2 coupon from the 6/20 SS (expires 7/18) to make these $2.09 a bag.  Like I said, an OK deal if you need them.  We have been going through loads of pretzels in our house because that Dean's dip is YUMMY and pretzels are a great salty snack alternative to chips.
