In addition to winning $307 playing Jewel-Osco’s Monopoly promotion, I also won the following 560-plus items. I’ll never have to buy floss again!
Here’s my secret: I love yogurt, so I just wait for the Yoplait single-serve cups to go on sale (50 cents or below) and get a bunch. You get a Monopoly ticket for each cup. Then it just starts to snowball. When you redeem a free item, you get another ticket. On and on it goes.
Note: Lots of these items (e.g., the nail clippers and French bread) were donated to friends, food pantries, and shelters.

Frugal Tip: Jewel assumes I’ll buy other products when redeeming my winnings. Nope, I only get my free stuff. No shame!
