Jewel Preferred Card Tent Promo

ETA 10-5-09: Click here to view Jewel's October blue tent schedule.

If you've never stopped by Jewel's blue Preferred Card tent when it's in your area, I highly recommend it! The store has a blue tent that they move around from store to store, to encourage people to update the information (address, email, etc.) on their preferred card. When you update your information, you get a book with some really great coupons, including SIX for completely free items:

Free 3 lb. bag of apples
Free Culinary Circle pizza
Free 4-pk. Homelife toilet paper
Free bottle Equaline ibuprofen
Free 1/2 gal. Wild Harvest milk
Free case Jewel bottled water

Personally, unless you absolutely need the items right now, I would recommend holding on to some of these coupons for a while, to see if they go on sale buy one, get one free (BOGO). When Jewel has BOGO sales, the first item rings up at full price, and the second rings up at $0. This means that if you use the "free" coupons when the items are on BOGO sale, you will get 2 items for free! The coupon will take off the full price of the first one, and the second will have already rung up at $0. There are quite a few other coupons too, most of which are manufacturer coupons redeemable only at Jewel.
