    Purple cauliflower, like many purple variants, fades toward green when cooked. Orange cauliflower holds its color. Only white is pictured in ad for this week.

    Watch out for personalized prices. This week I got $4.21 each for Perdue 93% lean ground turkey in one pound package with a purported store price of $5.29. The ad has the same product in two places for $3.99. This is not the first time I have seen a personalized price higher than the advertised price. We often mix this turkey with 85% lean ground beef from HarvesTime to make burgers or meatloaf rather than use a leaner ground beef.

    Thanks! A few times when I have had colorful variants of a vegetable, then they cooked to another shade I did not anticipate.

    Has anybody been to Jewel yet today? Today is supposed to be the first day for the new game. I think you have to purchase at least $5 to get a game piece though. The only thing I can get excited about this week is the $.77 shredded cheese. I will probably get some of the $1.99 strawberries but starting on 6/11. there should be lots of local strawberries at the Evanston market. When I can get local strawberries, I pass on the California ones even though the local ones are more money usually. The strawberries I got last Friday, were okay, but the local ones are usually better. The California cherries I bought last week, are okay, but not great.

    I did not get a personalized price on the milk this time. Milk at both of the Wilmette stores, is $3.49, but it is still only $2.99 at the Chicago Ave. Jewel.

    I didn't see any signs of it today either. I did use the self-checkout (less human contact), so it's possible it was elsewhere.

    I did click on the link Jewel supplied me with in the email they sent out, and I was able to play the game online, but I did not win anything. It does seem funny that the new ad did not mention anything about the game, and there is no mention on their Facebook page. I don't think they are giving out as many large prizes. It looks like they are not giving out a million dollars. I did see something about a kitchen remodel worth $140,000. and they are giving away some trips.

    Or purple asparagus.

    I have unexpected color changes with potatoes, too. I think the blue potatoes ended up looking a bit gray.

    If you saved the email that Jewel sent about the Flavor Adventure game, you click on the link in the email which takes you to the flavor adventure game. You can try the game once a day for free. There are also a ton of items at Jewel that give you another chance to play the game, if you purchase one of the items on the list. So far, I have won a recipe, and if I click on the recipe, I have more chances to win something.

    I had no idea -- thank you -- it was in the trash, but I rescued it -- and yes -- won a recipe and a coupon for Philly Cream Cheese. Painless play and reasonable rewards.

    I noticed that Jewel is going to have $.99 strawberries starting tomorrow. Limit 4. I don't know how many I will buy. With all of this hot weather we are having right now, the Evanston farmer's market should have a ton of strawberries this Saturday. Yes I know they are not going to be $1.50 a quart, which is 1 1/2 pounds, but they are going to be way better, and the farmers can use the business. Last Saturday they had tons left over. I just wish Nichols would fill up their quarts all the way.

    I might stop in at Jewel this afternoon because this is the last day for the sale on the Kemp's frozen yogurt, and I don't see Edy's on sale starting tomorrow.

    Has anybody seen any sweet cherries on sale anywhere? Last time I was in Jewel on Friday, they were $6.99 a pound. Maybe there is a shortage of Western cherries this year.

    I just played the flavor adventure game at Jewel. I had two chances to spin the dice. The first time I spun the dice, I got a specialized price for cream cheese, I then clicked it so it appears on my shopping list. Because I clicked on it even though I will never buy it at that price, I got another spin. On my third spin I got three entries into the weekly sweepstakes. Last week I won one free reward. If you get a recipe you should also click on it too, to get one more free spin.

    Hi,

    Buried in my digital coupons is a free tin of King Oscar Mackerel. If you do a search for 'free,' it does not pop up.

    By manually going through the digital coupons, I found it under 'Canned goods and soups.'

    Recently, I also received a free container of oat milk. This was highlighted as a 'free' item in my list. It is sitting in the basement refrigerator waiting.

    Thanks, I found the free mackerel coupon by searching for "Oscar". I also have a few personalized prices, including Refreshe bottled water for $2.44, that perplexingly say "Limit 1" and "unlimited use". Does that mean I can only use 1 per checkout, so I need to ring multiples up as separate transactions?

    On the inflation front, I think that same bottled water was a $1.49 or less coupon last year. Uffda!

    My jewel story for this week:
    Monday, coming home from the gym, JUST when the weather emergency text hit me up, I walked into Jewel to score my 10 lbs of the $2.99 chuck roasts, and use the 1.00 off Enlightened Ice cream coupon (Enlightened is made out of voodoo. It HAS to be. I triple dog dare you to try the flavor "Caramel Double Dough," and disagree. How it has under 10 grams of net carbs per pint clearly means a witch doctor works at the factory.)

    Anyway - the roasts rang up incorrectly and the coupon wasn't taken off. I had the items "checked - in basket," - I know I've scrood that up a few times, but I've learned to cross my t's while in line by now. So, over to the customer counter I went. After some quick math, i was instructed to put my card into the reader for the refund, and then BOOM. Power went out.

    Lol - ONLY me. I swear.

    So, people started crowding the front door to watch. The skies opened up. Dark as hell outside. And the rain was just dumping down.

    BUT. Here's where it gets good:
    Some couple in line that were in the middle of their transaction had some issues. The lady started screaming about the kids at home. The gentleman followed suit, and started yelling to the cashier that they can't stay and wait, because their kids are at home. And I do mean YELLING. Then it escalated. The lady started screaming about "cars and fences flying through the air," and started very agitatedly walking around the checkout areas just screaming about nonsense (like she had watched Twister when she was FAR too young.) It went on long enough for people to start rolling their eyes, and literally just discounting her screaming, and watching the storm brew. The Jewel employees were basically looking around at each other with that, "I never went to college, so I didn't take Psych 101 much less 104, so, that lady needs to figure out some kinda resolution that doesn't involve much action on MY part, so...."

    After a few more minutes, one of the older empls told them to please just leave, and tend to their kids at home. The lady then screamed at the top of her lungs, while pointing at her husband, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"

    Lol - ONLY me. I swear.

    My refund was hosed, their connection to the credit card co was down. They tried to get me the refund several times. I told them I was in no hurry, and to just let me know whatever the best thing to do was. The absolutely stellar lady that was trying to hook me up with my refund and I just laughed about it. She asked if I could come back in on Wed am (she knows I'm there a lot, and I look at my receipts, so, I visit the desk a lot.) No biggie. I went back this am, - did all of the math for them before I got there, even, and got the refund from a diff employee that I've never seen before after explaining what happened, and being organized with the math and receipt.

    On the plus side, since my coupon for the Caramel Double Dough didn't work the first time, I got to use it today. Voodoo, I tells ya.

    Thanks- I missed the free mackerel coupon. I never saw the oat milk coupon. I am not sure if I ever got it. If it was free I would grab it. Unfortunately I did not get a personalized price on gallons of milk. Both of the Wilmette Jewels charge $3.49 for a gallon of milk. I don't go to Mariano's nearly as often as I do Jewel. There is only one Mariano's store within five miles of me, but there are six Jewel stores. I might just wait until I can get cherries at the farmers market the end of the month.

    Yesterday, I got my $1 off my produce purchase that I was supposed to get when I went to the Chicago Avenue Jewel on Friday. I did not stop at customer service and ask for my $1 back because I wanted to go home and make sure I was supposed to get it. The Chicago Avenue store does not have the best cs anyway. I was at the Kosher Jewel on Howard three weeks ago, and I normally go to the self checkout, but I decided to let a cashier ring me out instead. When I looked at my receipt, I noticed my points that I got were listed, but my total points that I had accumulated were not listed, and I did not get some of the coupons off that I was supposed to. I decided to go to customer service. There was nobody at customer service, and I waited there for at least five minutes before I finally gave up.

    At my Jewel (Arlington Heights, on Rand at Palatine), the Pub burgers were regularly $3 marked down to $1.50. (So $3 per pound for meat -- so a good deal). But did get the strawberries for $0.99.
    The one thing that made me a little sad for the manager was when I overheard him talking about a display of lovely shish kabobs in the meat area -- chicken, pork, beef -- glistening with marinade, clearly super fresh veggies -- and he was shaking his head and saying, "But will anyone buy them." Was sorry I don't have a grill and a crowd to feed, as I would gladly have taken some of them (ranging from $7.99 to $12.99 per pound, depending on your protein). It was a good reminder that the shoppers aren't the only ones being hard hit by the economic downturn. Anyway, hope they sell. My Jewel is far from being the only place I shop, but it is a really nice Jewel, with really nice people, and I'd like it to do well.

    Yes -- I'm on the Just4U program -- and I checked online before going, and no coupon was offered. So maybe it's localized. Or maybe I checked too early in the day. But the strawberries didn't need a coupon -- had a sign saying "99 cents). So think maybe it's my Jewel. But the week is young and perhaps I'll check again and buy a couple more. (Only got 6.)

    One thing that was nice was that the butcher asked if I wanted them packed by twos and should he wrap them for the freezer. I hadn't even thought to ask, as I repack when I get home -- but it was nice getting that extra bit of service. Reminded me of years gone by.

    Those sad Bubly 8 packs are 2 fitty each if you buy 5 or more during this sales week. I'm stocking up because I think the new Jewel norm will be to limit more of the loss leaders - which is fine, I completely respect what they gotta do. So, my thinking is that for the big 4th of July sale on beverages (which is ALWAYS a thing) the sparkling waters will be on sale, but it won't be so easy for me to fill the minivan.

    Hi,

    Our medications can be mailed to us or we can collect them at Jewel.

    We now obtain our meds at Jewel. The Just4U feature also includes a birthday component. For my birthday, I received one bonus point and double-points for all purchases including medication co-payments until month's end.

    Meanwhile, our providers keeps sending us notes to get us back on the mail order program. I compared the prices between Jewel and mail order, there was only a one or two dollar difference. However the double-your-points has far outdone itself in benefits beyond the one to two dollar difference.

    It might be something to consider.

    Regards,
    Cathy2

    P.S. The online game is insipid. I hate it. I am almost finished collecting all the points involved. Did I not say I hate it? I just annoy myself playing it.

    Perhaps it's because I use my computer and not my cell phone -- the special weekly savings info arrived in my email at 7:41 this morning. So I've not clipped the coupon and will buy a few more. But not really crushingly disappointed, as $3 per pound for beef is still pretty good these days. But I'll have to remember in the future to check online rather than waiting for the email, if it's going to be late.

    Hi- The beginning of 2022, I switched from Sams Club to Jewel for my meds. I have Wellcare now for my part D. I asked about being able to receive a 10% off coupon when I fill five meds., and I was told that Medicare does not allow me to receive the coupon. When I got my COVID booster shot last fall, I did receive a 10% off coupon though. So far this year I have only spent $12 on meds, although I have to pick up a refill that should be another $12. My other prescription I am on is free, and five others are over the counter, and so I have to pay for them myself.

    I have not gotten that many chances to roll the dice for the game at Jewel. So far I have won a few coupons that I will never use. The only reason I claimed them is because I get another spin then. I have also won one free reward, and I think six chances for the weekly sweepstakes. I have not won any of the $10 towards your next shopping trip, and I have not won any free items other than the one reward. Since the farmer's market is open, I don't spend as much at Jewel, and the last time I went there I spent $2.04 on strawberries. Cherries are on sale there right now for $4.99. I got a personalized price of $2.96 on milk.

    I always check my personalized deals right after they are posted on midnight. I did not receive my weekly savings email this week until this afternoon.

    The weekly Jewel e-mail timing seems erratic. Today mine was time stamped 2:01 am and was the first one I received when I turned the computer on in late morning. Usually it comes on Wednesday, the first day of the sale, but often well into the afternoon. Some of the coupons are silly such as the milk at $2.96 a gallon when the milk I bought last weekend was 2.99 or two for 5.00. We will start on the second gallon tomorrow morning. At least this week I did not get any coupons with a personalized price higher than the price in the weekly ad. Jewel seems to have a lot of competence problems all over the organization.
