Jewel-Osco shoppers, head over to MyMixx and load TWO new ecoupons for FREE 11oz. Cinnamon Pebbles cereal and FREE 4.6-5.3oz. Yoplait Dippers or Custard. Load by 3/5 and redeem by 3/6/17.
While you’re in there loading ecoupons, there are a bunch of new ones to check out too. I loaded these:
$2 off any American Greetings card $2.99 or higher is great, although it expires today..! One of my readers spotted this $3.50-off-2 ecoupon for Annie’s organic snacks too. (I actually looked for this on the day others were spotting it, but I didn’t have it..! Well, it’s in there now, so I got it loaded.) I believe the Annie’s snacks are around $2-$2.49 when they’re on sale, so this could make for a good deal on snacks as well.

glad it turned up.
i wonder how many MyMixx coupons get overlooked due to a combination of the following:
– “Recommended” Sort By option.
– low quantity (e.g. 15) Coupons per Page.
to explain: i strongly suspect that a number of coupons are equally recommended; i.e. they’re ties, and that these ties are broken randomly. but when you click onto the next page (which happens more often when you have less listed per page), the website doesn’t remember in what order it stored the tied items — it re-randomizes them, so you can see a coupon on Page 3 that you just saw on Page 2. and i’m not talking about there being two instances of the same coupon (though they sometimes make those available too), but the one coupon listed twice.
now, say you’re browsing through 92 Grocery coupons, for instance, and you see a total of 6 full pages, then one partial page with 2 coupons. if you encounter the same coupon twice during this, then you will by definition have NOT encountered one other coupon.
having more coupons per page limits the number of page reloads, so should limit this issue. also, i think listing by Brand produces less ties, so could also help.
no idea how you list things, or whether this phenomenon is at work in the Annie’s case; they might’ve simply run out and replenished. but i’ve encountered it enough when browsing that it comes to mind when a similar situation presents.

I set mine at 45 offers per page, click on all the offers you want on the 1st page, then start with the last page & work your way forward.
You won’t miss any that way with minimal page refreshing.

good point! i did not think about the misses that happen when clicking on one offer “pulls forward” another. that’s got to be the more frequent culprit, so your strategy is very solid.
that said, i _thought_ i’d gotten the occasional reordering and coupon omission without selecting any offers. doing 45 per page will limit that issue, but not get rid of it entirely. however, this was observed months ago, and maybe was misdiagnosed. if i can back up my claim currently, i’ll post a description or screenshot sometime.
“Recommendation” ratings probably do change from time to time, and could produce omissions if you have bad timing in clicking to the next page. but that’s a LOT less frequent than the “random tiebreaker reordering” i thought was at work.

Just curious if Jewel does rain checks for the free My Mixx items. I went on Monday for the free cereal and yogurt and the store was out of both. I was in a time crunch so I didn’t ask if they had any in the back.
ChristianCJK says
Yes, I’ve been given rainchecks… most recently for this free cereal*.
* Which I won’t be eating, btw (sugar)… more for the local food pantry!! :))

I have been a loyal Jewel shopper for years. I joined MyMixx. I do not have the time to look through pages of coupons and clip them. I think that if I purchase the item with an available coupon it should automatically come of my bill. What am I missing out on?
Coupon Maven says
The brands who are paying for/reimbursing the coupons only want to pay out for shoppers who take the time to clip them — paper or electronic. Brands would not offer as many discounts if everyone were automatically using them. They want to reward shoppers who seek them out and build loyalty that way, not simply give them to everyone.
It’s not a case of Jewel not wanting to reward you, or make things more “difficult” for you — the brands set the terms as the majority of the offers in MyMixx are manufacturer sponsored.
There was actually a lawsuit a few years ago against an app called “Milk.” Milk automatically clipped every ecoupon attached to your stores’ loyalty accounts for you to do exactly what you described: automatically load everything without human intervention:

http://couponsinthenews.com/2015/01/20/coupon-industry-makes-milk-go-sour/
http://couponsinthenews.com/2015/01/22/coupons-com-clip-all-of-our-coupons-and-well-sue-you/
The Milk app quickly went out of business because they were sued — Coupons.com sued them because it is not the brands’ intention to have all offers automatically clipped.
I understand you don’t want to hunt around, but if you use the Jewel app to clip, the free MyMixx offers are usually right at the top. Or, you can search for “FREE” and sort that way.
