Jewel/Menards/Wags

We went to Jewel yesterday to do a few transactions. I had Doug do a couple and I did a couple.

Trans #1
1 Pringles - $1.50
1 Bounty Napkins - $3.49
1 Iams dog food - $17.99
Used $.25 Bounty coupon, $5 RR from Wags - oop $19.54 - received $10 cat

Trans #2
Bounty Napkins - $3.49
Tide Stain Release - $10.99
Charmin - $7.49
Used $.25 Bounty coupon, $.25 Charmin coupon, $1.00 Jewel coupon for Charmin, $3.00 Tide coupon, $10 cat - 00p $9.12 - got $10 cat

Trans #3
2 Vicks combo packs - 5.99 each
1 3pk Puffs tissues - $5.99
Used two $1.50 coupons for the Vicks and 1 Buy Two Vicks, Get One Puffs Free coupon for the Puffs. It does not state the size Puffs so if you buy the 3 pack then you will be over the $25.00 "sale" price. OOP - $9.64, received $10 cat

Trans #4
1 Pringles - $1.50
1 Bounty Napkins - $3.49
1 Iams dog food - $17.99
2# bag carrots - $3.29
2 Weight Watchers snacks - $2.50 each
1 Jewel French rolls - $2.50
1 Jewel white bread - $1.00

Used $.25 Bounty coupon, 2-$10 cats (didn't use one in Trans #3 so I had 2), $5 Wags RR, $1 Wags RR, 2-$1.50 Avenu discounts for WW snacks - oop $7.36 - received $10 cat

So, I have a $10 cat left and I had one at home from the transaction I did several days ago (forgot to bring it with me) to do some grocery shopping with. I think I am done with the Jewel cat deal. I have coupons and can get some stuff pretty cheap but in trying to keep with my January challenge, I am only going to do it if I can figure out how to get the stuff free or under a couple of dollars. I'll keep you posted. :-)

We also went to Menards - the only reason I am posting about Menards is because they are giving you 15% off anything you can fit inside of their green bags. We bought 2 more papers and some clearanced Christmas ribbon. I also bought a Hannah Montana cutting set (make your own stickers) that will be a MM after rebate. It is $5.00 with a $5 MIR (mail in rebate) and an additional $10.00 purchase. Doug bought a couple of air filters for the cars so that took care of the $10.00. With the 15% discount we paid $4.25 for it and will get back $5.00. It runs through Saturday so you can use it to buy your papers next Sat. too.

I went to Walgreens today - yesterday all I got was the Electrosol :-) and here is what worked:

2 small boxes of Chips Ahoy - $.99 each
2 Reach floss - $3.79 each
3 cans Hunts tomato sauce - $.99 each
2 Stayfree pads - $6.29 each

Used BOGO Stayfree coupon ($6.29), BOGO Reach floss coupon ($3.79), $1 Reach coupon, $1/3 Hunts coupon, Wags Stayfree coupon ($6), Wags Hunts coupon ($1.80), Wags Reach coupon ($4), $1 Wags RR - oop $1.05 and received $2 RR for the Chips Ahoy!

I had 3 coupons for the Bayer Quick Release tablets but my Walgreens had them on clearance for $5.99 not $2.29 - what's up with that? I had to get some balloons for a coworkers birthday tomorrow so on my way I figured I would stop and check the other Walgreens down the road. They had the Bayer on clearance for $2.29 - yay! So I picked up three of them and just to test it out I bought 1 Oreo and 1 Fig Newton to see if it would generate the $2 RR like the Chips Ahoy cookies did. It did not so stick to the Chips Ahoy for free cookies!

3 - Bayer - $2.29 each
2 - cookies - $.99 each
used 3 $1.50 Bayer coupons and $1 RR. oop - $3.46 and received a $6 RR from the Bayer deal! Wow, good money maker! Would have been better if the cookies worked.

So, I have $20 in Jewel cats and $12 in Wags RR's. I feel pretty good about that!

Happy Shopping!
