I went to Jewel and used the $5 coupon for my 5 bags of cheese today and they were reluctant to take it. They said they received an e-mail saying all Kraft $5 coupons need to have a watermark on them to show they are not copies. The cashier called over the c.s. gal and she checked it. It had the watermarks. Did any of you experience this today while using your coupon?

won't take coupon on slices

At the Schaumburg Jewel last night, the cashier called over help for my $5 Kraft coupons - the CS said they were fine, but they weren't taking the $5 off kraft slices Q - perhaps that's the fraudulent one...

Gurnee Jewel

Used the $5Q at Gurnee Jewel today and it beeped. Did the self checkout and the CSR punched it right through after it beeped for her. No problems or questions about the Q.
Also aquapods are still $1.00/ 8 pack. Shelf was full again. Not cat printed though, starts 9/6.

Jewel in DeKalb

I went to the Jewel in DeKalb yesterday - did self checkout. Only issue I had was that even with the clerk trying to manually put it in, it was rejected because there was not ONE item that cost $5.00. She manually entered a $2.00 coupon and a $3.00 coupon and I was a happy girl!

BTW - did the 5 cool whip deal, 5 kraft deal (separate transactions) and got 8 12-packs of soda for $6.34! I LOVE IT!!!

P.S. - Keep an eye on those expiration dates - had some expiring real soon and had to dig for better dates.

$5 Kraft coupon

I used my coupon today at Jewel. I went to the self checkout. The attendant took my coupon over to the "fradulent coupon" list to see if it was a bad one. Then she took it. I told her that I printed the coupon from the Kraft website today......it was a great deal!! Thanks

On the cheese packages is a

On the cheese packages is a peelie with Kraft website telling you to go there and print that $5 coupon. You should just show them that and tell them this is it. Mine also beeped and it says enter amount and no match found, but there was obviously 5 cheeses, so there was no problem, they just entered it.

Cool Whip

It beeped when I did the five shredded cheeses but I guess I got lucky because the cashier just typed the coupon right in for me.

I also did a different transaction with 5 cool whips. They are a dollar each and the $5 cat came right out after. (I did it at the self check because I felt weird buying 5 cool whips but I am going to make taffy apple salad this weekend and needed 1 and will have to think of something else for the other 4...)

Taffy Apple Salad

My friend just gave it to me...it is my first time trying it today...

Ingredients:
1 Large can of pineapple tidbits (save juice)
2 cups mini marshmallows
*Mix those two together and refrigerate over night. (You are supposed to refrigerate overnight, but I never do because I always forget. It is only so the marshmallows absorb the pineapple juice, so what I normally do is mix them first, then refrigerate until I'm done prepping the other ingredients.)
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon flour
1 1/2 Tablesppons white vinegar
2 cups unpeeled apples, diced (I like the granny smith the best for this salad)
1 1/2 cup peanuts (I use Snickers instead because Matt like them better)
1 8oz. tub of Cool Whip

Blend and cook the sugar, flour and white venegar until thick. Let cool.
Mix together the apples, marshmallow and pineapple mixture, sugar mixture, peanuts or snickers, and Cool Whip.
If the salad seems too dry, use the extra pineapple juice to add a little more moisture. I usually add maybe about 1 or 2 Tablespoons of the pineapple juice.
Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.

Thanks! Do you just chop

Thanks! Do you just chop peanuts or Snickers finely? How finely do you chop the apples? Does it taste good? I want to try making it, too.

$5 coupon

I had a Jewel cashier not want to take it today because it was a $5 printable. She thought $5 was the cut off , which it is, but it was not OVER $5. She called the manager , she looked at it & said it was fine.
There was no mention of a watermark.
