It’s coming… and in some areas, it’s already here! Jewel’s annual $149.99 freezer deal is back! The sale officially takes place February 8th and 9th, and if you’ve been thinking of getting a chest freezer (a great way to stock up on foods, especially meats, during great sales cycles) you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal than this. For $149.99 you get a 5.2 cubic foot Igloo chest freezer… and an envelope filled with $150 worth of FREE food coupons!
Now, many people have reported that some area Jewels are already selling the freezers! There’s a limited number of freezers at each store, so if you’d like one, it doesn’t hurt to call your store and see if they’re selling them early. If you’d like to see the coupons included in this deal, browse on over to the Freezer Deal discussion in the forum and read the full list.
And… if you’ve attended any of my Super-Couponing classes, you know exactly the best way to USE these coupons too! Don’t be in a hurry to run right out and use them immediately…

Just as added support (for those of you on the fence and/or with “reluctant spouses”) I saw that Sears had a 5.0 c.f. freezer on sale for $178 yesterday. Smaller and more expensive…and no free food!

Is there a way to organize these coupons so you do not miss any of them when items are BOGO?Thanks

As of 2:30 pm today, Huntley has stopped selling the freezers…some woman went in and bought TWELVE of them. Is this necessary? Is this the point of couponing? To deprive everyone else of the opportunities? I’m absolutely disgusted.
At any rate, the management decided to put the kibosh on further sales until Sunday.

I went to Jewel with my husband at midnight last night/this morning to get my freezer. (We happened to be heading home around this time & it sounded better than getting up early!) I even ran into another super-couponer there for the same deal!
They had the freezers available for $149, but all of the coupons were locked in the safe. No one in the store at that time could unlock it. The lady insisted that the promotion didn’t start until Sunday. We insisted that it WAS Sunday.
While going back and forth with the lady she assured us that this was all explained (the 8:00 am start time) in the flier. Its not.
After much debate about wether to take our chances in the morning, some employee who would be working in the morning came over and offered to write on our receipts that we didn’t get the coupons.
This is false advertising! The ad says that it starts Sunday. I was definitely there on Sunday. Because of this I had to go BACK to the store at 8:00 to get my coupons. I’m so frustrated with this right now!

I was just there at 11:30 and they are gone.I hope everyone that wanted one got one.

If you didn’t read DannyBoy’s story in the other freezer discussion in the forum, jump over and read it. He paid significantly less than everyone else for his freezer..! :)

Yes, I was so happy to get a freezer this a.m. too!! Jill, thank you for speaking so highly of this deal. I am a newbie to your sight and am signed up for your 2/19 class in Geneva. I have already learned so much by frequently visiting your sight and watching the deals!! Aside from the Baldwin Ice Cream, Dean’s Ice Cream and Floresta Pasta B1G1, the Farm Rich Mozzarella Cheese Dippers are B1G1 too!! So I was able to use 4 of the coupons I rec’d this a.m. already and walked out of the store with twice as many items!! Gotta love this as the freezer will be paid for in no time!!

My brother asked me this question and I didn’t know how to answer it! I told him I’d ask all of the coupon experts here in Jill’s world, so I hope you guys can help. If there is a B1G1 free sale, and you use a B1G1 free coupon, can you still use 1 $ off manufacturer’s coupon? Thanks everyone for the help!

Thanks for the heads up at the Lisle class about the freezer Jill! I used a $6 off $80 purchase, too! Plus I just received my $25 rebate check today from the Smirnoff off back in December. I would have never heard about you if my husband didn’t listen to Johnny B. Thank you, looking forward to “2” class. Coming back to the western subs???

Coupon Maven says
I don’t know how this got bumped to the top – I think someone edited their old post from last year and Recent Posts picked it up. THIS POST IS FROM 2009. Thank you :)
I WILL post as soon as we know the dates. I did hear that the freezers are at the warehouse… should be soon :)
