If you got neither cat, then it's possible that the machine ran out of paper or jammed or something after the ziploc cat, or it lost its satellite transmission. You could have argued at least the $4.00 one because there are shelf tags and you obviously bought more than enough products. Sorry that happened!

Clark St, 60640, Andersonville). I didn't get the Pillsbury $4 oyno coupon, nor did I get the GM $10 oyno coupon. Does it matter when during the transaction you scan your Jewel card? I had my card scanned at the beginning, before any items where rung-up. I bought 7 Pillsbury sweet rolls and 1 Pillsbury Simply cookie dough. Sweet rolls $3.29 each on shelf, rang-up $3.17 - 1.50 b/c 3/$5 with card Simply cookies 3.95 each on shelf, rang-up $3.95 - 1.45 b/c 2/$5 with card I used $1 off Simply cookie MC and 2-$1 off/2 sweet rolls MC. And the checker failed to scan another coupon for $1 off/3. Bottom line ... I paid $11.19 for 8 pillsbury products (7 sweets rolls, 1 simply cookies). Maybe I didn't hit the $25 GM minimum, but I definitely should have gotten the $4 Pillsbury (or at least $2). I bought 8 Pillsbury items! Was I somehow limited to the number of coupons that I could get on a single transaction? I also took advantage of the Ziploc offer and that worked. I got the coupon for $2 oyno. I think it was bad luck. I chose not to complain to the store. I probably won't rush back either. I had a Jewel disaster (5516 N. Clark St, 60640, Andersonville).

I've seen them with the rest of the coloring books, by the pharmacy, and on an endcap. cl -- the varieties I bought should work. A couple people have reported problems with the regular cinnamon rolls but other people are getting the cats for them so if you are nervous, just stay away from regular cinnamon rolls. pt -- did you grab the jewel wipes by mistake? or the purple ones?

If you do, another one will not print. The tricky part is that you also cannot use a RR from the same parent company (in this example Charmin is made by Proctor & Gamble). So, if one week there is a Charmin deal & the next week there is an Iams deal (also made by P&G), you cannot use the Charmin RR to buy the Iams and expect another RR to print. P.S. There is some sort of glitch going on with P&G products right now. They are reportedly rolling - the 2nd RR IS printing. This is not normal & you can try it at your own risk. These things have been reported in the past, but it was quickly remedied. Then people who read about it online were screwed because they tried it after it had been fixed. Me? I'm too chicken to try it. I'll just collect the RRs and spend them at Jewel. Bumsky – Wags’ RRs do not roll – meaning you can not use a RR from Charmin (example) to buy another pack of Charmin.
