Jewel-Osco Grocery Deals

^ Monopoly game is back

Jewel’s Monopoly game is back. Through 5/19/15, pick up a game ticket every time you shop at participating stores, and play the collect-and-win, instant win and online code games. Some items each week give you a bonus Monopoly ticket. I’ve marked these witn a caret (^).

3/20-3/22 Three Day Sale

The following items are on sale Fri-Sun 3/20-3/22/15 ONLY:

– 4lb. bags of Heritage Reserve oranges are $1.99 – that’s about .50/lb.!

– Fresh whole fryer chickens are .88/lb., limit 2 — great price!

– 32oz. Powerades are .67 each, limit 12

– ^ Keebler 6.6-15oz. cookies are $1.88 each, limit 4. Buy two and use the .50-off-2 from the 2/15 RP to drop these to $1.23. Check your Monopoly coupons for .25 coupons here to stack too, dropping them to $.98! If you have Kellogg’s Family Rewards points to print coupons with, print a $1 coupon and use it for .88 cookies too.

– ^ DiGiorno Original or Pizzeria 18.3-34.2oz. pizzas are $4.77 each, limit 4. Buy two and use this $2-off-2 printable (MyMixx has a $2-off-2 too!) to drop these to $3.77 each! Through 3/22, these are also part of a national Catalina:
– Buy 2 & get $1 Catalina
– Buy 3 & get $2 Catalina
– Buy 4 or more & get $3 Catalina

Can you tell this is going to be a crazy deal? With two printables, buy FOUR. Use two $2-off-2s. Pay $15.08 and get a $3 Catalina! That’s $12.08 for FOUR, or $3.02 each! Great price for DiGiorno! Check your Monopoly coupons too for DiGiorno coupons to stack here & bring the price down further…

Possible .09 Juicy Fruit strawberry gum

I and other readers have spotted 5-packs of Juicy Fruit strawberry bubble gum on clearance for .34 per pack. Check your Monopoly game coupons — I had several .25 coupons for this, netting me .09 gum!

.24 GUM toothbrushes

MyMixx has an ecoupon for $2-off-2 GUM dental products. Several readers have reported finding GUM toothbrushes for $1.24 (I found them at my store too!) Buy two and use the $2-off-2 to drop these to .24 each!

NOTE: At the time of this writing, MyMixx has a strange issue where the register is automatically reducing any coupon for multiple items that exceeds the price of ONE item down to the cost of that item. WATCH the register carefully, and if it reduces your $2 MyMixx GUM coupon to $1.24 here, alert the cashier.)

.50 Muller Greek yogurt

5.3oz. Muller Greek yogurt is $1. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 from the 3/1 RP to drop these to .50 each!

.74 Sierra Mist

2-liters of Sierra Mist are .99. Use the .25 coupon from the 3/15 SS and pay .74! (Also, a heads-up — Sierra Mist recently changed its formula to include Stevia as a sweetener, and reviews are mixed.)

.75 Armour Lunchmakers

2.6-3oz. Armour Lunchmakers are $1 each. If you have .25 coupons from the Monopoly game (for some reason, I have a plethora of coupon for these!) use them here for .75 Lunchmakers.

.80 Muller Corner and Ice Cream yogurts

Muller Corner and Ice Cream yogurts 5,3oz. are $1 each. Buy five and use the $1-off-5 from the 3/1 RP to drop these to .80 each.

$1.23 Hormel chili

15oz. Hormel chili with beans is $1.50. Buy two and use this .55-off-2 printable to drop these to about $1.23 each. (Not the LOWEST price we’ve seen, but not terrible if you need it.)

$1.77 Canada Dry 12-packs

Great price for these! 12-packs of Canada Dry, Dr. Pepper and 7-Up are $2.77 each when you buy four. You must buy four to receive this price. For Canada Dry ginger ale, use this $1 printable or the ecoupon on MyMixx and drop them to $1.77 each! If the Canada Dry Seltzers 12-packs are also included at this price, use this $1 printable or the ecoupon on MyMixx fand get those for $1.77 too!

$2.45 Challenge butter

16oz. Challenge butter is on sale for $3. If you’ve ever bought this before, there are always .50 and .55 coupons inside the box. Use one for $2.45-$2.50 butter! Look for a blinkie coupon dispenser near the product too in store as I often find .55 coupons in these too.

FREE Cookie Credit Card and Fruit Cards for kids at Jewel

Pick up a free “Cookie Credit Card” in the bakery, and your child can get a free cookie with every visit to Jewel. And, pick up a “Healthy Eaters” card at the customer service counter, and your child can get a FREE banana or Red Delicious apple when they shop with you. Through 12/31/15.

A note on overage and B1G1F sales

Jewel’s coupon policy allows shoppers to apply manufacturer coupon overage to other items in the same transaction. It also allows two manufacturer coupons to be used on a Buy One Get One Free sale. There have been register issues with this in the past, but many reports are coming in that the issues have been fixed. (Fantastic!)

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.
