  133. IT’S OFF TO COOKING I GO….
    THIS WOULD BE AWESOME TO HAVE….
    MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND GOOD LUCK

  134. I’ve been saving my stickers but by using lots of coupons I haven’t earned very many. I would love to win one!

  138. I love grill pans, have been thinking how much I need a new one but don’t have enough stickers. Brats, chops, veggies…mmmmmmmmm

  142. This is the one pan that my husband wants — what a surprise it would be to tell him that Jill gave it to him! :)

  146. Hi. I would love to win something and what better thing to win then something a broke college student actually needs!

  149. I have been working on the pans since the beginning! I do not yet have the square griddle but it sure would be nice! :)

  151. Oh Jill,
    How I love couponing, and what you have taught me throughout this wonderful year. I have saved at Jewel, Walgreens, CVS, and even Dominicks. I keep thinking to myself, I cannot wait to earn my pan for a penny. I am expecting my 2nd child so I thought, and we found out in an ultrasound that there are 2 babies that are coming, so I figure 2 new pans would be the icing on the cake. I have enough for one pan, and I would enter my comment for a chance to get my twin pan.=)Even if not picked, I will continue to coupon, for double the enjoyment on the way. Thanks for all you do!!

  155. I’d love to win this, I’ve been collecting stickers, but not enough to get one yet jijiji :)
    Hopefully I win one!
    Thanks

  168. We don’t have a grilling pan; thanks for offering this to your Coupon groupies :-)

    May you enjoy a very Merry Christmas!

  170. I don’t have any reason why I deserve this more than anyone else. I just figure…..hey it’s free and I’ll take it!!! Happy Holidays to all!!!!!

  181. This pan would make a fine addition to my pan collection. Thank you Jill for all you do to help so many all year long.

  189. I am hoping to accumulate enough stickers to get the grill pan- maybe I can get lucky here :)
    Thank you!

  190. I’ve been saving my stickers like a 4th grader…and actually it’s been kind of fun! BUT winning would be a blast! Pick me! Pick me!

  196. Would love to win this pan! It was actually one of the things on my xmas list :) Thanks for all your hard work Jill, Happy Holidays!

  199. Please Santa bring me some new cookware. My current cookware I’ve had since before I was married, and we are going on 10 years.

  200. I would love to win this pan. I have earned 2 of the pans already. This would be a great piece to add to them. Thanks Jill for all the cool giveways!

  201. Now that winter is here and I can’t get outside to grill, this grill pan would come in handy.

  207. Always thinking of my hubby :)! He’s the cook of the house and would love it!!!

    Wonderful blog, thanks for all you do! ;)

  208. It would be really sweet to win this. Instead of keeping the stamps for myself, I gave them to my mother in law who needed new pans. Then I thought now I’ve got none for myself and could really use this pan. Thank You for this opportunity!

  213. Been diligently saving my stamps. I save so much money at Jewel that I don’t have enough yet for the pan I want. Would love a skillet. Thanks for the chance to win Jill! :)

  214. Aiming for that pan w/ my stickers, but doesn’t look like I will make it in the next few weeks.. Hope I win it!

  215. I just turned in my stickers and got a little pan, but REALLY wanted that cute square one to grill sandwiches for the kids! I’m just thrilled that I figured out how to reply to your blog! :-)

    Thanks for all the great tips every week! Since your class in Vernon Hills, we’ve been saving a lot of money!

  216. I have 3 pans already – thanks to my FIL and being behind several people who said no to their stickers and yes to me taking them. Would never have been able to get them on my own (thanks to Jill and her shopping tips!)

  222. I will go ahead and reply to this because I would LOVE this pan but I’m not holding my breath since I have the worst luck in the world when it comes to this sort of thing. :) I never win anything!! lol

    But thanks Jill for your blog and all you do! I’ve saved quite a bit since following you on here and it’s been a really great thing for my family.

  227. I would love a new grill pan. I ruined the one I had and have been wanting a new one! Crossing my fingers!

  228. Jill, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks for all that you do to help all of us. My family would love to win this drawing!

  229. Thanks Jill for both your fantastic classes as well as the very informative website. I have only been “couponing” for a little over a month and have already saved an average of 80% on my purchases thanks to you! My family would love a chance to win one of these pans too!

  232. I have been saving stickers for months now (and still only half way there) for exactly that pan. It would be great to win it! Thanks Jill for the amazing giveaways!

  235. I would love to win. With all my collecting and trading I was only able to get the stir fry pan so far.

  242. Thank you for all of your hard work in helping me save money! I’d love to have this grill pan. We’d definitely put it to good use!

  252. You’ve definitely changed the way I’ve shopped. Thank you, Jill for 2 years of saving so far. Would love to win this one.

  256. Thanks for all the great information that you share! Christmas was a little easier this year with the money I saved from your site.

  261. Thank you for all you do Jill, I could really use a new pan, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  262. A real nice christmas present just for me with be the Thomas Professional Square Grill Pan. Hope I can win this one. HOpe everyone has a great holiday.

  265. Thank you for all that you do for the community. All the best to you and yours during the holidays!

  266. Thank you for another great give-away. Seems like a great pan and I’d love to give it a try. :)
    Merry Christmas Jill and family!!

  267. I have been saving for these pans because the pans that I have my husband bought for me 20 years ago for our first christmas and they really need to be replaced.

    Happy Holidays to all.
    Julie

  270. I’ve been following your site since May and you have saved me and my family A LOT of money, thank you!!

  274. I am so close to getting my free cookware. It shocks me to see so many people in the check out lines not collecting stickers!!! But, occasionally they give me their stickers. As they decline them and then look at me with my mouth open and on the ground, in shock. Who can’t use new cookware for a penny? :)

  275. Hi Jill, I want to thank you for all your work you do that helps all of us to save money. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I would love to have the new pots and pans to cook my free food that I will be getting this new year!

  277. Jill,
    You’re saving me so much $ on my purchases that I don’t accumulate enough stickers to get the cookware via Jewel! This is my only chance to win cookware :)

  278. Would love to get a pan for my mom!!! Been saving but not quite enough to get her one….This woould be so AWESOME!!!

  289. Wow! This would be great….my pans are looking pretty sad! Thanks for your blog Jill, it is great!

  294. I’d love a grill pan! I don’t have quite enough stickers yet to get one on my own!
    Love your blog Jill!

  296. As you suggested, Jill, I’m saving my stickers until the end of the campaign so I can get the most for the stickers I’ve saved. So I don’t have any of these pans yet. It would be great to get a “sneak preview” before I redeem my stickers next month!

  299. I would love to win this grill pan to cook steak during this time of the year when you can’t use the grill outside.

  300. Hopefully I win this time. I gave away my stickers each time, as I rarely spend over $20 at Jewel each time, and I didn’t figure I’d get enough to get a pan in the store.

  305. I would love a grill pan.I was going to pick this or the dutch oven.Love your site,thanks for everything you do.

    Michele

  312. yay! i would love to win this! i am slowing making it towards my tiny pan :) i hope they have some left in january!

  313. I would appreciate winning this pan for a friend who lost her job, and has no money left. It would compliment the food basket I will be taking to her :)

  324. I’d love to win this pan. I have gotten a small fry pan with my stickers and think this one would be great!

  328. New pans (or a new pan!) would be greatly appreciated this holiday season … I hope I win! :-)

  329. This may be the only way I ever get one of these pans since I save too much using coupons to earn any big quantity of stickers myself:)

  332. I just moved out on my own and couponing has REALLY helped. Thanks Jill!
    I had no idea how much money I was throwing away. I would love new cookware!

  334. Thanks Jill for offering these up~we’ve had our same pans for 15 years now and boy are they lookin’ old~could certainly use a new one to add to the collection!

  337. So far I’ve collected 75 stickers and got the fry pan. I love it. It would be nice to win the giveaway.
    Thanks!

  340. I would love to have a new pan. Probably won’t get enough stickets before the deadline. Thanks for the contest!

  344. Ohh! How awesome, Jill! Please count me in since my husband and I have a friendly argument that we need the grill pan more than the large stock pot. ;)
    Happy holidays!

  353. Would love to win one of these pans! I’ve been contemplating which one I want to get with my stickers. This would help me decide!!

  355. I would love to have a new pan . . . remodeling the kitchen and new pan(s) would be terrific!!!

  357. Who couldn’t use a new grill pan? You are awesome on how well you take care of us all. Thanks!

  360. I’ve been saving and saving and now I can’t decide which of the pans I want for my penny. This one is definitely on my list!

  361. I hope I win one of these.. I have been saving my points to get one, and if I win I’ll have extra to get an additional piece… yippee….

  362. Thank you Jill for making cutting my grocery bill so easy! You save me so much time and tons of MONEY!!
    I have been trying really hard to save for these pans! I would love to get this pan. I don’t have one.
    You are FANTASTIC Jill, I can’t thank you enough.

  363. my pots and pans are falling apart and I have been working so hard to get a few from JEWEL – i love the one I have gotten so far. Another would be great. Thanks for all you do Jill. I love that you love to help us :)

  368. I would love to have one of these pans. I’ve been trying to save up for one, but haven’t gotten very far.

  372. I’ve always wanted to try a grill pan like this – what a great contest! Hope the random-number generator likes me!! :) Merry Christmas everyone!

  373. Jill, thank you for taking my shopping to a different level this past year. I have saved a good deal of money by using your site. Merriest of Christmas to you!
    Joan

  374. I have been saving and saving to get this grill pan, but like some of the other coupon moms, I don’t spend nearly enough to get it!

  375. Jill, thank you for all of the information you provide. I have been able to change my shopping over the last 2 years and cut this big expense in half, which has been necessary. If only I could do that with all household expenses!!

  379. Hi Jill, thank you for all you do! I really enjoy your blog and would love to get a grill pan. My kids think I should use my stickers on the fry pan instead. I will never make it to two pans so this would be awesome. Thanks for the chance to win one!

  386. Hi Jill,
    This is my very first comment. I hope to become a better coupon clipper in the New Year. Looking forward to working with you!

    PS – I don’t usually shop at Jewel but I have 5 Jewel stickers that you can have.

  388. Hi Jill,
    I think you are the Best! I’ve learned so much from you and I would love to will the pan to cook up some of the free products I’ve gotten with the help of you and Jewel!.

  389. Hi Jill,
    I think you are the Best! I’ve learned so much from you and I would love to win the pan to cook up some of the free products I’ve gotten with the help of you and Jewel!.

  390. This is one of the pans I’ve been saving for but not sure if I’m going to get enough stamps to get it. So, it would be great to win it, instead! Thanks for this giveaway. Have a very Merry Christmas!

  392. I’d love to win this pan!! My son is in culinary school and is trying to stock his kitchen. Gotta love a man who cooks :)

    Thanks SO much for all that you do. I made a beautiful ham dinner last night for my family of seven. We had biscuits, green beans and almonds, mashed potatoes and brownies for dessert. Total cost… $1.91!! Whooo Hooo!! Thanks Jill – It wouldn’t be possible without you :) Merry Christmas!

  393. I will hold my breath until the give away is over! I would love to be able to win a grill pan so I can make every one a grill cheese sandwidge with all that great kraft cheese from my favorite store,Jewel!!!

  394. I would love to win a new pan. I have yet to collect enough stickers for even one pan yet – gotta love all the coupons!

    I just got for an early Christmas gift, a new stove after 15 years of dealing with the old one and after 19 years of marriage, realize I need new pans! Would love to win this!

  395. Please enter me in the Jewel pan contest. I am in need of some new pans. I noticed the other day that the teflon from my blue Jewel pans from many years ago is starting to chip.
    Happy Holidays!

  398. My brother has just finalized his divorce and I’d love to be able to help him “re-stock” his new kitchen.
    Merry Christmas Jill!

  399. I’ve only accumulated enough stickers for the small 50sticker fry pan… but this grill pan was what I really wanted. So, this would be great!

  406. My husband would love to win this to make paninis! Thank you for the chance to win! Love your site!

  409. My husband does the cooking on weekends & I could think of yummy things he could make w/ this pan! LOL

  421. Hello Jill, a new Pan would be a great Xmas present to me! I hope to win one of them. :)
    thank you for your great giveaways.

  425. My husband and I have been married for almost 13 years. Our pots are in BAD need of replacement. I was able to get the dutch oven, but so far that is it. I could really use another pan.

    Thank you for allowing the opportunity Jill :)

  431. I’ve already collected two of the set for my daughter’s “hope chest.” They are very nice. Would love to win this one to add to her collection!

  432. I would love one for my sister. I have been saving all of my stamps for her. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

  435. Would love to win this. Especially since I have spent alot of money at Jewel and have never gotten any of these stickers..wondering what I’m doing wrong?

  436. I saved enough stickers for one pan, just everyone be aware there is no plastic on the handles and they get hot. But I would LOVE to have a square one! I doubt I’ll save enough stickers on my own to get another.

  438. We just got our first piece of cookware…we’re working towards our second. This square skillet would make a great addition to our Cookware Collection!

    Thank you, Jill, for all you are doing to change lives!

  439. It’s too hard to get the 50 point pan let alone the rest. I shop regularly at Jewel and only have about 38 stickers since this promotion began. I still have time hopefully I will make it for the one pan.

  440. I love the pots and pans that Jewel has on promotion right now. I still haven’t picked one up yet, but I’m hoping to get the griddle pan soon. My daughter eats grilled cheese like there’s no tomorrow and this would be PERFECT to make it on everyday!

  441. Love this pan….will never be able to collect all the stickers needed, just don’t have enough money to spend at Jewel alone. I don’t have a grill, and this pan will help me have good, fat-free grilled cooking.

  442. Wow, thanks Jill for all you do to help all of us. This is wonderful…and now cookware too! The Thomas square grill pan looks like it would be great for cooking indoors. Thanks again.

  443. Thank you Jill for all that you do! I would love the square grill pan if I won it! I saved up enough stickers for two of the other pans, and am still trying to get the grill pan. Thanks again!!!

  445. I have been following your blog/posts for abt 10 mos now, watched my friends DVD on your super couponing and even attended a super couponing 2 from you and with this pan being giving away has finally brought me to signup and login! thats how much I would Love to have this professional square grill pan!
    OH and THANKS SO MUCH JILL for All you do for us ‘super couponers’! Me and my family sure do benefit from it :)
    thanks!

  446. These pans are great and I would love to get this pan! Thanks Jill for all that you do! Merry X-Mas!

  447. I just moved to Florida and rented a new apartment a couple days ago. I have pretty much no cookware and would love this to make a meal for my family for the holidays :)

  448. while preparing christmas dinner, i noticed how worn my mom’s pans were and would love to win this for her!
