One more Jewel trip..............

Doug and I went to Jewel again today. The Fiber One and YoPlus yogurts are on sale starting today for $2 each instead of the $2.50 preferred price that they have been during this $30/$15 deal, that’s less out of pocket for us!

Now, remember you are using “sale” prices to get to your $30. This is the price that the item rings up at before the preferred savings is taken off. Do not use the “shelf” price – this is not always the same as the “sale” price. There are 3 prices for items at Jewel – shelf price is the price the shelf tag regularly says, sale price is the discounted price you would pay if you did not use a preferred card and preferred price is the price you pay when you do use your preferred card.

I must also state it again that if you want to work the deal this way, you are doing so at your own risk! You cannot go to Customer Service and complain because you are going against what the ad states. It works but it is a risk that you have to be willing to take and not get your Catalina coupons. If it doesn’t work out and you want to return the items, please do so right away – before leaving the store. If you leave and return them, the store must throw it away!

Here’s what we ended up getting on our trip today:

4 Fiber One Yogurts – $8.00 (sale price $13.00) - 2-$1 coupons in 8/8 GM insert & 2 -$1.25 internet coupons from

3 YoPlus yogurts - $6.00 (sale price $9.75) - 3-$.50 coupons in 8/8 GM insert
2 Gardetto’s - $3.33 (sale price $5.73) – NO COUPONS
2 Chocolate Turtle Chex Mix - $3.33 (sale price $5.73) – 2 -$.50 coupons from coupons.com
2 Trail Mix Chex Mix - $3.33 (sale price $5.73) – 2-$.50 internet coupons from coupons.com
3 Betty Crocker Cookie pouches - $5.00 (sale price $6.51) – 3-$.40 coupons in 8/8 GM
2 Snapple 6pks - $10.00 (sale price $13.90) – 2-$1 internet coupons from http://coupons.smartsource.com/web/index.aspx?Link=HN5AQVPNACWBU

At this point I was at $60.35 which would have worked but I wanted to be sure – just in case any price comes up differently at the register – call me chicken but I threw in a Betty Crocker Warm Delights Mini for $1.67 (sale price $2.37) just to be safe! I also had a .50 coupon from today’s GM insert.


So, now my sale price total is $62.72
Preferred price is $38.99
My coupons ($11.70)
Total out of pocket (oop) is $27.29 and I received $30 back in Catalina coupons! They just paid me $2.71 to take all of this stuff out of the store!
