Jewel

I finally made it to Jewel for a few transactions. This cat deal does NOT stack so you must do separate transactions to get multiple cats. You will only get one $5 coupon per transaction. The deal is - buy $20 in participating products and receive a $5 coupon good on your next order plus 50 bonus Box Tops.

Just like in the past, you can use the "sale" price to reach your $20. Jewel has three prices on most products: shelf, sale and Preferred price. In the ad it will show the Preferred price but you can use the Sale price to reach $20 - this is usually not the same price as the shelf price, sometimes it is but most of the times, it's off just a little bit - so make sure you scan your products at YOUR store at the price checker to find out what your stores sale price is. It can vary from store to store. If you do not get your $5 cat, there are several reasons this could have happened - the Catalina system was down momentarily, you picked up the wrong sized item, your sale price was not what you thought and you missed it by a few cents, etc. If this happens, you can either just take the stuff home and try again or you can return the items to customer service right then. Please don't take it home and return the items, once it leaves the store - they must throw the product away! Also, DO NOT complain to customer service, you are taking a risk by working the deal AGAINST the ad so they will tell you that the $20 must be in Preferred prices and that is the way it is advertised.

Transaction 1: 7 Suddenly Salads ($1 Preferred price/ $2.95 "sale" price), used 6 $.40 coupons so my OOP was $4.60 plus tax and I got the $5 cat coupon back! Money Maker!

Transaction 2: 21 Yoplait yogurts ($.50 Preferred/$.68 "sale"), used $2.25 in coupons. Plus 2 Suddenly Salads - I received the $5 cat PLUS a $2 cat for a double dip deal going on now where when you buy 20 Yoplait yogurts, you get $2! So, I paid $10.25 plus tax and received $7 back!

Transaction 3: 4 Cookie Crisp cereals, 1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 1 Suddenly Salad (used 2 $1.50/2 cereal coupons, 1 $.55 Cinnamon Toast Crunch coupon, 1 $.40 Suddenly Salad coupon) - paid $7.00 plus tax and received my $5 cat!

I plan on making it back tomorrow and do a few more transactions - I'll let you know how it goes.
