Our Jewel Trip Last Night


So we sort of stuck to our plan.....We went to Jewel and got the $30 deal so we could get the $15 back. We also were on the lookout for other great deals that we could use with one of the $5 coupons. Unfortunately, they were out of the Butterball turkey I was hoping to get so we just made a couple of other buys. We rang up in 4 separate transactions and everything went flawlessly. What I learned: at that Jewel they do not need to put in all of your coupons in the self check out! The coupon will scan and then you put it in the slot. This was so great because I know that I have real coupons and no internet fakes and I hate feeling like I am holding up a line or driving the cashier crazy when I hand over my stack of coupons. So here's a breakdown of what we got:
Transaction 1:
2 Wishbone Bountifuls Salad Dressing (I had an internet coupon, but when I tried to link it, the offer is gone. Sorry)
7.18 - 3.84 sale - (2) 1.00 man Q = 1.34 (.67 each)
4 Better Crocker Bagged Cookie Mixes (coupon)
10.76 - 4.10 sale - (4) .75 man Q = 3.66 (.91-.92 each)
3 Betty Crocker Frosting Tubs (print with the cookies)
6.27 - 1.26 sale -(3) .55 man Q = 3.36 (1.12 each)
1 Knorr Sides Plus Veggies (coupon)
2.75 - 1.08 sale - .60 man Q = 1.07
7 Betty Crocker Potatoes (print with other Betty Crocker)
19.03 - 9.03 sale - (7) .40 man Q = 4.20 (.60 each)
6 Green Giant Boxed veggies (print with Betty Crocker)
14.40 - 8.40 sale - (3) 1.00/2 man Q = 3.00 (.50 each)
1 Vaseline Lotion (had a coupon from the paper last week)
3.49 - .99 sale - 1.25 man Q = 1.25

Total before discounts: 60.88

Saved: 43.00......71%
Got Back: 3 5.00 Jewel coupons (these have no limitations except they cannot be used together)

2 Bags of Doritos
7.98 - 3.99 BOGO sale = 3.99 (1.99 -2.00 each)

We only got the Doritos because we weren't up to 5.00 to use our Jewel Q and it was 10:30 so we just grabbed. I'm sure there were way better deals, but oh well.

Total before discounts: 20.11
