Things to know at Jewel
Just a few…
- Check your Avenu before you go. Avenu e-coupons load onto your card when you view the page, and come off automatically at the register when you buy qualifying items. If your Avenu item is part of a Catalina deal, the pre-e-coupon price counts towards the Catalina.
- Also load SavingStar “electronic coupons,” which rebate back into your SavingStar account rather than coming off at the register.
- You’ll also want to read this on the latest Jewel Catalinas change, if you’ve been doing them there for a while.
- Here’s the official Jewel-Osco coupon policy from September 2011.

The mix match must buy 5 sale: Quaker Oats chewy granola bars are not made by General Mills, which does make the rest of the products in this sale. Since when do they mix match manufacturers?
LOL they do, but usually it’s a bigger mix, not All General Mills and one lonely Quaker
The Cole’s Q when you sign up is .50/1. It’s a bricks Q and allows 2 prints. You can get it right away after signing up. No need to do any email verification. I’m not the patient type. LOL
The Cole’s Q is Bricks and is .50/1. No need for email verification when you sign up so you get the Q quickly.
The blackberries are $3.99. I thought they were BOGO so was pleasantly surprised.
Homelife paper towels are $1, there is $1 Homelife cleaning product coupon in the new book with the prime rib on the front. The page the coupon is on specifically mentions paper towels
Quaker chewy granola bars is a better deal at Walgreens through Sat. $1.5 each after RR.
Cole’s printable is $0.50/1.
Sorrento Ricotta has a great deal going on. I was at the Jewel in Oak Park this morning and 16 oz tubs are on sale for $2.99. There’s a $3 off 2 Sorrento products from SS or RP a couple months ago. So I bought 2 16 oz tubs for $5.98-$3 = $2.98 for 32 ounces of ricotta. If you don’t have the $3 off 2 coupon, there’s a $1/1 coupon on the front of the fridge where the ricotta is located. So you could use 2 $1/1 coupons and get 2 16 oz tubs for $3.98 which is pretty good. The 32 oz tubs are also on sale – I believe for $4.49 and you can use the $1/1 coupon bringing it down to $3.49 for 32 ounces. Ricotta freezes well so it’s a good time to stock up if you like making lasagnas.
