I’ve covered the topic of grocery shrinkage off and on here on the blog — it’s when manufacturers downsize a product, keeping the price the same. Earlier this week I was walking through Jewel and spotted a change in the large bottles of Dawn dish detergent on the shelf: Check out the bottles of Dawn […]
Two surprising uses for Febreze Car Clips
Febreze Car Clips have been on sale all over town lately, but the best price was at Jewel, where they were .75 each earlier this week. To me, the the Febreze Car Clips seem to last a lot longer than other car-specific air fresheners. Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks so either. Earlier […]
I finally found something worth buying at Costco: Ito En green tea!
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. Read full Disclosure Policy.My regular readers know I’m not a big fan of warehouse clubs. Nothing against them — many people love them. I just haven’t really found much value in shopping at Sam’s Club or Costco versus playing the sales-and-coupons game at traditional grocery stores and drugstores. Warehouse […]
Look what I spotted at the store today: It’s Kosher Coca-Cola Time again for 2015!
Guess what? It’s Kosher Coke time again! I was at Jewel-Osco this morning and was delighted to spot Kosher-for-Passover Coca-Cola on display. (Yes, I grabbed some… and quickly headed to the customer service counter to place my annual stock-up order for my biggest vice. If you, like me, love the flavor of sugar Coca-Cola, it’s […]
Jewel’s MyMixx ecoupons have some issues
Over the past month, I tried out a bunch of different scenarios with Jewel-Osco’s new MyMixx coupons — pairing a dollars-off coupon with a Buy-One-Get-One-Free, seeing which coupon takes preference when you present a paper coupon and an ecoupon (the ecoupon does) and other situations. During one of my MyMixx shopping trips, I noticed that […]
A not-quite-what-I-planned trip to CVS…but look what .79 bought!
I like writing shopping trip reports to break down deals and show you how to put them together. Things don’t always work out perfectly though, so I’m sharing what happened to me on today’s CVS/pharmacy shopping spree. The background: I got a $10-off-$40 coupon for CVS in my email, so I headed to the store […]
Target’s new marketing strategy: Fewer “minivan moms,” more Hispanics
The Chicago Tribune has an interesting article on Target’s new marketing strategy: Before the recession, big-box retailer Target was riding high. Its sprawling stores were popping up in seemingly every suburb in America, and its well-designed stores and cheap, chic styles made it appeal both to low-income consumers who might have shopped at Wal-Mart and […]
Can you make sense of this coupon’s wording?
I think I may have committed coupon fraud. Accidentally and inadvertently, but it may have happened just the same. I went back to Jewel today and decided to get a few more boxes of Creamette pasta, which is on sale for .88 this week. There are .55 coupons in the “Blinkie” dispenser right in front […]
Ad fail: This is not a deal.
Reader CouponGusto brought this one to my attention today. Joseph’s Marketplace in Crystal Lake, Illinois, is having an interesting 10-for-$10 sale this week: A variety of ConAgra products are on sale 10-for-$10. Use the coupon in the ad and get… 8 for $10. Whoops. It’s rare that I’d advise not using a coupon with a […]
Our 3-year-old Sony Smart TV is “too old” to use.
Our television is a little over three years old now, and it’s already outdated. Tonight, we clicked the YouTube button on the television to watch some clips.
This is what we saw…
