The next game day is Dec. 9 against the Cowboys. GO BEARS! Here’s the full Bears season schedule for reference. 

For every 20 stamps you collect, you can choose one free item. For every stamp saver card you fill, you can choose six free items. Or, collect 10 stamps and pay $2.99, plus your stamps, for one item.

Watch very closely with two coupons on a Buy One Get One Free. The second coupon will appear to scan fine, but it will show as $0.00 at the register. Be prepared to call on your cashier to manually adjust this for you immediately if they do not intervene.

 If you anticipate any issues with this, I would recommend carrying a copy of Jewel’s coupon policy, which outlines both of these issues clearly.

“No Coupon Needed” Deals

This is a new brand, and unfortunately all the coupons we had for this in recent inserts expired before we saw it hit the stores..! In looking at their site, I learned that Comfeez paper towels are made from cotton and bamboo, and the bath tissue is made from acacia and eucalyptus.

  2. I just came from the Woodstock Jewel where the 2# brown sugars are sale-priced at $1.39, so I pulled out my 4 q’s and got 4 bags for $.39 plus tax-NICE!!!

  3. can you buy the Super Chill & Stone Ridge in same transaction for 2 Redbox catalinas? Or will it still be limited to 1?

  4. the Jewel website where the Essential Everyday coupons were located. It is a mfg coupon with the “Redeem at Jewel-Osco” wording on it.

  5. It never fails…I go with a couponing plan, and it doesn’t go the way I planned it.
    Is this right??

    I had 2 of the B1G1 coupons for the Essential Everyday products, good for up to $2. So, I bought 2 packages of raisins that were $1.99, and 2 boxes of instant oatmeal, also $1.99. My thought being one of each would be free.

    But…I also bought a .69 can of creamed corn, and $1.25 canned tomatoes. The cashier told me they took off the cheapest items. Grrrr!!! Had I known this, I wouldn’t have gotten the canned goods.

    It seems to me the items “up to $2” should have come off. Anyone else have a similar experience?

  7. What is The December Big Book of Savings? and where can I get this?
    And is there a book every month?

  8. Tomorrow’s new SS1 has a $1 coupon for Comfeez paper towels and bath tissue that will drop the above deal to $4.49!

  10. At my store $1.79 ):
    But they let me buy any dark brown sugar and still let me use coupon cause Jewel has discontinued dark brown.
