With the news of the Your Bucks changes and the week halfway gone, I ran to Jewel to do a quick shop. There wasn’t a whole lot that I needed within the current Catalina craziness (say that three times fast), but a few of the Conagra products from the Inspired Family deal caught my eye.
Here’s what I did:
Transaction #1 (I start every single Jewel shop this way right now)
1 Suave $.89 (still on sale if you can find them!)
Final Price: $.98
I got $2 CAT back
Total Cost: I made $1.02
Transaction #2
6 Orville Redenbacher Popcorn $1.69 ($3.59 shelf)
1 Dannon Light & Fit pack $2 ($2.65 shelf)
1 Banquet Meal $1 ($1.30 shelf)
1 Ragu Pasta Sauce $1.99
1 Suave $.89
1 Eggs $1.29
2 Lean Cuisine Meals $1.67 and $1.99
I used:
1 $1/2 Orville Redenbacher coupon
1 $1 Orville Redenbacher Smart Pop coupon from Conagra mailer
1 $.60 Dannon L&F
$18 Your Bucks CATs
Final Price: $.91
I got back $17.50 CATs ($10 Inspired Family Meals, $2 Suave, $2 Ragu, $2.50 Lean Cuisine, $1 Eggs)
Total Cost: $1.41
If you add both shops together, the entire trip cost me $.39. If I had had another Orville Redenbacher coupon (I had used my others already), this would have been a moneymaker. Just one idea of what you can do!
And if I weren’t happy enough with this shop, I got a survey on the bottom of my receipt that will be worth $2 AND the person in front of me left their receipt with a $2 survey. BONUS!
I will be going back tomorrow (after they restock the shelves) to get 8 Danactive/Activia ($16 OOP – $8 in coupons, Get $10 back = $2 Moneymaker!). Plus, I need to pick up more Suave and Ragu ASAP!
