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.

Do the math on the Hormel, Cure 81 Ham!!! It’s boneless, just like at the Deli counter. Mine were $14.05 & $13.92. After using the BOGO & the 2 $3 coupons, I paid $8.05 out of pocket for 6.23 lbs. of deli ham. That’s ***$1.29*** a lb.!!! Now I just have to find a friend who has a slicer
Most of the deli counters will be nice and slice it for you. Since you already bought yours, ask if you can bring it in with your receipt and have it sliced
Thanks for the idea & all the hard work that you do Rachel!!
Colleen, you should have used… Print a $5/$25 coupon for signing up for emails. and only spent $3.05 out of pocket or 0.48 cents / pound. But you did good!
Take your receipt and $5.00/$25.00 Coupon to the Customer Service desk and get your $5.00 back.
Probably not the best place to write this, but…does anyone know where to find a deal on 8×10 photos? Is there a CVS or Walgreens deal I’m missing? I haven’t used them before. Thanks for your help!
There have been a ton of free 8×10 at walgreens over the past few months, but nothing right at this moment. Will keep an eye out.
Thanks Rachel for the Old Orchard Q! Boy, they sure do make you jump thru hoops to get those!
Also, Rold Gold pretzels are 2/$4.00 this week, Use $3.00/2 from store book. Here’s the info on the store coupon booklet in the 12/4 Tribune and in stores.
Makes for $1.00 for 2! Thanks woodenspoon on CW
OK GUYS- anyone else done this one, I did 2X this AM!
Buy 2X cure 81 half hams for around $15.00 each and a $10-$12
bone in ham. use 5/25.00 email coupon, bigif coupon from red book, 3.00 (X2) from green book and 10.00 off ham from ad. = a whole lot of super cheap ham!!
My freezer is stuffed! <3
Awesome! That’s how to do it
An all ham deal-
2X cure 81 hams ($15.00 ea) and one bone in ham $10.00ish
use
1 5/25.00
2 3.00 mfr
1 bogof
1 10.00
= three super cheap hams!!
The Jewel I went to had the Oceanspray cranberry naturals priced at $2.49. Guess I could have gotten them all free…lol!
The Jewel I went to had the Oceanspray cranberry naturals priced at $2.49. So I got the regular Oceanspray they had to push the coupons through. I should have taken the naturals but I thought the coupon would work on the regulars too! oops
LOL Chrystal are you sure? They were in the ad at $2.00 — when I bought them, they were tagged 2.49 but rang up 2.00 so they might just not have changed the sign. And no, the coupon is just for the naturals, otherwise I would have bought the good kind
It’s Old Orchard Naturals that is on sale for $2.00……NOT Ocean Spray! lol
LOL I didn’t even notice that. I don’t think there is an ocean spray naturals so she probably meant OO.
…and the coupons are for Old Orchard!!!
Is there a place online where I can find the full Jewel ad in a pdf, so I don’t have to print it of the Jewel website page by page? Thanks.
Not that I know of. Someone usually posts it on couponerswanted.com but it’s in multiple images. Why are you printing the whole thing, it’s always available in stores if you’re not getting one in the mail etc.
Thanks. I found it on couponerswanted.com. It’s not convenient for me to pick it up in the store before my shop, and I don’t get it in the mail (despite repeated calls to jewel corporate). Thanks.
Does anyone know how the Edys BOGO will work with the Nestle ice cream deal (Buy 3 get $3 off instantly) Would buying 4 Edy’s generate the $3 off instantly?
Around Thanksgiving, I found a $25 rebate for a $100 purchase that includes Miller Lite in the liquor area if anyone thinks they will spend that much in one purchase. They might keep their eyes out for that rebate!
Thanks for the Cranberry Naturals heads up! Worked great last night for 4 bottles of free juice.
One jewel I went to had all the everyday essentials pasta marked at $.88 ,but the one I usually go to didn’t? Got 2 free boxes with overage as soon as I saw that but wondering why the difference in price.
It might be if you are at a store by a marianos or new super walmart — they have been running special ads with lower prices on a lot of things.
Melrose Park is the same and it is near a newish Meijer.
Christmas socks (one size) were marked $ .50C.
Make the miller/ham deal better by finding a peelie for instant $4 off w ham, bread, and miller purchase. They are on miller lite 24 pack cans but work with any miller 12 pack or bigger.
There is a .50 off bisquick shake and pour to bring it down even more in the 11/13 GM.
That’s for the bigger ones I think…
I didn’t receive the Duracell catalina. Is there anything i can bring to the Jewel customer service desk?
Call Catalina tomorrow 1-888-8COUPON
Thanks Rachel. Happy Holidays.
