Jewel

Here are some of the scenarios that I have read have worked for people. I myself have not done any and don't know when I will get to the store. Boy, you know I am REALLY stocked when you hear me say that!

Remember, you MUST scan your items at your store at the price checker to be sure that the total adds up to $25. Some stores "sale" prices vary by a few cents and I would hate for you to not get your cats because you were off by $.20 or something like that! This happened to me during the last $30/$15 sale and it was totally my fault because I did not double check prices at the other store I went to. My fault so, Oh well. Also, make sure you grab the right size product! Too often there are 2 cereal boxes next to each other and they look close in size - you must grab the one that is working with the deal. This is when the UPC codes come in handy! If it's on the list, it's the right one!


Remember - use coupons to get your oop (out of pocket) price down! Check http://www.coupontom.com/ for any coupons out there on the products you are interested in. Also, if you received the ConAgra coupon book several weeks back, this is the perfect time to use them - there are good coupons in there! You can mix n match any of the products to get to the $25 but here are some easy ones.


5 Wesson Oils - vegetable or canola
4 Fruit Loops, 3 Frosted Flakes
6 Rice Krispies - great time to use the Vocal Point coupons or 8/2 Fuel for School insert coupons
14 Hunts tomatoes
14 Hunts puddings

Here are a few tips about this deal:

**My understanding is that the Morningstar Farms products are giving problems so maybe wait on those until we hear otherwise. Though I read it worked for someone with the chicken nuggets. You could try - if you do, let me know!
**Same with the Egg Beaters, although they are in the ad, many are saying they did not get the cats when these were in their transaction.
**Osco side items will work only on Preferred price - NOT "sale" price.
**Unlike the last deal - this one DOES NOT stack - you will only get 1 - $10 (2- $5 cats actually) per transaction! You will have to split up your transactions if you want to do it multiple times.
**If you buy the Orville Redenbacher popcorn, it is BOGO - ONLY 1 will count towards your $25 price! The free one rings up at $0.00 so only count the $3.49 for every two boxes!
**Beware of the tags in the store - just because something has a tag, doesn't really mean it's part of the deal - these are put up by people and they do make mistakes. Sometimes employees see that the Keebler cookies are part of it and put tags under all of them. The Sandies cookies for example are part of the deal but the Sandies cookies with cashews are not. Check the list! If you are working this on the "sale" price, you can't go to CS and tell them that there was a tag so you should have gotten your cats - it won't matter - you didn't spend $25 in Preferred price (as described in the ad). Remember - you are gambling if you work it this way. If you are doing this using the preferred prices, well then, you would be able to point out that there was a tag there and you should have received your cats.

There is a lot of info on this deal at http://www.afullcup.com/ - on the right side you will see Store Deals, click on view all stores and then click on Jewel. Also lots of info at www.couponerswanted.com.

I will continue to post scenarios as I read about them working or when I do one myself. As I said before, please comment on here when you do a deal!

Happy Shopping!
