The on-line circular for the Tops Market in town shows coupons you can
click and you get the discount at checkout. I don't use most of the
coupon items but this week their coupons feature PA Dutch egg noodles;
99¢, I like egg noodles.

For those of you that might be interested Jewel has their pub burgers on sale today only for $.99. I think they average a half a pound. They also have WW pasta on sale 2/$1 right now. I just bought ten boxes of it last night. You should also check and see if your store has the $5 coupons for the Open Nature air chilled chicken. I just got another package of b/s chicken breast last night, and I figured out it cost me $2.20 a pound with the coupon. There is a limit of one coupon per visit...'

>Jewel also has Jewel butter on sale for $1.88 and there is a $1 coupon on mymixx for it, and so you can get it for $.88. The coupon on mymixx is good through 12/17. I am sure there is a limit of one at that price. Jewel also has cutie clementines on sale for $3.88 a box. Unfortunately I believe there are only coupons out for halos. There are lots of other good deals at Jewel this week too. The Saturday salad bar is advertised as being $2.99, but I noticed it was $3.49 when I went to the Evanston Jewel store on Chicago Avenue. Hope this helps'
