Jewel P&G deal

Member a s b on Couponers Wanted (post #385) posted this information about how to read the prices at the price scanner at Jewel. I thought this was invaluable info so I have copied and pasted it here. ALL of the credit goes to her - this is the best explanation that I have read or that I could have even written. She is also the one who put the list together that I just posted about. Thank you a s b!!!

There's no difference between Jewel side, or Osco side, when it comes to prices when working deals.

For Jewel items, there's usually at least two prices given:
$x.xx REG
$x.xx Preferred Card

When the above happens, you use the REG price (a.k.a. shelf price)

And sometimes for Jewel items, there are three prices given:
$x.xx REG
$x.xx SALE
$x.xx PREFERRED CARD

When the above happens, you use the SALE price (which is NOT a PC price).

For Osco items, it is pretty common for there to be NO Preferred Card price for an item, so it will either be this:
$x.xx REG

Or it will be this:
$x.xx REG
$x.xx SALE

But we hope for it to be this:
$x.xx REG
$x.xx Preferred Card

Or even this:
$x.xx REG
$x.xx SALE
$x.xx PREFERRED CARD

In any case, no matter what's going on, you use the REG/shelf price, unless there's a SALE price (in which case you'd use that), but you don't use the Preferred Card price.

(And yes, there are certain unique situations where the Preferred Card price plays a role, but I'm trying to keep it simple here.)
