Tomorrow, Jewel kicks off their “Professional Cookware for a Penny” promo. There’s been lots of talk about this on the boards, with many people speculating how much one would need to spend to collect the set of pots and pans. I attended a bloggers’ event in Chicago sponsored by Jewel yesterday (which I’ll post more […]
Two years ago today, 8/14/08…
… the first Super-Couponing workshop took place. It’s been a wonderful two years. :) I have taught over 19,600 people in live workshops since that date, and countless thousands of others via the DVD workshop and my blog. Whenever you began Super-Couponing… happy anniversary to you :) Will you ever shop the same way again?
Consumers redefine the shopping game
There are so many stories about the state of grocery shopping in the media as of late. Here’s a recent report by Deloitte called “The American Pantry Study: The New Rules of the Shopping Game,” which covers changing grocery shopping trends with consumers: “American consumers have re-learned how to shop — and in the process […]
Guess who’s raising grocery prices NOW?
The state of the grocery industry just continues to get more and more interesting. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing articles about some traditional supermarkets and retailers believing the key to future financial success is to be “more like Wal-Mart,” touting everyday-low-prices versus employing high/low sales cycles. Well, today’s edition of Daily Finance […]
Name-brand sales skyrocketing at dollar stores (and what the grocery industry needs to take notice of)
After last week’s article, “What is SuperValu doing to Jewel-Osco?” about changes to stocking, pricing and sales cycles at Jewel (which, if you haven’t read already, I encourage you to) a reader wrote to share another interesting shopping-related story with me. Thursday’s issue of Business Week has a great article on dollar stores and the […]
Clearance toys and clothes all over town!
As I touched on in Monday’s Deals of the Week post, it’s been a great week for clearance toy and clothes shopping all over town! Hope you’ve all been out bargain-hunting and enjoying your finds! As I discuss at great length in my Super-Couponing classes, both January and late July/early August are when many stores […]
What is SuperValu doing to Jewel-Osco?
It is in no way my intention to complain about, slam, or otherwise present Jewel-Osco or any of its staff in a negative light. I’ve publicly stated hundreds of times that Jewel is my favorite Chicagoland shopping destination. However, the amount of press their parent company, SuperValu, has received lately regarding their decisions for Jewel-Osco’s […]
Super-Couponing in Sycamore tonight!
Super-Couponing comes to the Sycamore United Methodist Church (160 Johnson Ave, Sycamore, IL) tonight at 7:00pm! This class has reached maximum registration at 200 seats available, so if you missed this one, check my schedule for the next workshop in your area!
What I won’t be buying this week… or ever.
So, I’m walking through Jewel and I spot an item in the dairy case that many readers have written me to say exists, yet it hadn’t hit my store… until now. “Shopper’s Value” imitation shredded cheese. For those who missed the news, SuperValu’s CEO has decided to take a more “Wal-Mart-like” approach to Jewel and […]
Watch those expiration dates…
So… Dominick’s has a huge “Buy 4, get a FREE box of Nature Valley granola bars” sale this past week in which not only is Nature Valley involved in the Buy 4, it’s also the bonus free item. Wouldn’t you think the stores would have made sure their Nature Valley displays would be well-stocked for […]
