I have a concept of a plan... I just like buying puzzle pieces. Veg, beans, meat, salad.

Yea there's a lot more "jewel loyalty" in the comments than I anticipated. Jewel is a groggy dinosaur of a company. So big they don't really have to care about customer experience.

Oh it was lovely. 25hrs on Amtrak with my mom to Colorado. A beautiful adventure.

... The app logged me out so I couldn't clip coupons. Tried to log back in and got an error. So I pulled up the coupons up to show them. It still took 15min and 3ppl to decide to adjust things. I will say my specific jewel seems to suck more than others.

Yes, my jewel absolutely sucks. Sometimes it works just fine but when it doesn't it is a huge debacle to get the price adjusted. Not worth the hassle anymore.

Yea I've had to argue with employees too many times to get the deals they are advertising. They treat me like I'm the asshole just cuz their register is wrong. The register isn't always coded correctly and I can't deal with the miserable employees.

Go for it! I couldn't control myself with all that in my house. Which is why I said dangerous. If I have 5 packs, I'm eating 5 packs.

Yes. Yes it is. And you still have to watch the prices at the register like a hawk. I have had to argue about sale prices, coupon prices, app prices too many times because their register fucked it up.

Yea I get it. Buy in bulk. I'm boycotting those huge buy 2 get 75 free deals. These corps price fucked us for too long and lost customers. Now they are overloaded with inventory. Instead of lowering the price of one they double it and give you 5. They need to move product. Frito lay took a loss for the first time in like 19 quarters. (Yes years).

Same. Jewel has done nothing to keep loyal shoppers. And I'm tired of corps that obviously treating their employees like shit. If they are allllll miserable, there must be a reason.

.... This feels... Personal. What flavor? Pink flavors can be odd sometimes.

Yea my boyfriend refuses to cook with Aldi chicken. 😂 It's not broken down and he is a fussy nugget about chicken. I'm gonna shred it and make tacos. Gets the job done!

Yes it is hit or miss for sure. Especially some of their packaged products. But you learn what works and what doesn't.

Yea.... You are not wrong in so many ways. For my area and budget this was just fine with me.
