Jubilee Foods of Mound Ad-Match for 10/30-11/05/11


Jubilee Foods of Mound is one of only a few grocery stores in the Twin Cities that doubles coupons.  Please note, they only double up to $0.50.  For example, a $0.50 coupon would become $1.00, a $0.45 coupon would become $0.90, but a $0.60 coupon would stay $0.60.  I have included all items that have a corresponding coupon, regardless if I consider it a "good deal" or not.  For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. And if you are confused by the ad match, please go HERE to Pocket Your Dollars instructions on how to read the shopping list.  Also note that Jubilee does not have a website.  Anywho, here is my ad match for the week of 10/30-11/05/11.

Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 10/28-11/03/11

A few notes before we get to the deals.  I recently found out several things about Mackenthun's coupon policy: 1) Mackenthun's will take coupons up to one month expired.  Therefore I have included coupons in this ad-match that are expired for this amount of time.  2) I brought in a manufacturer coupon that said "Redeem at Hyvee" and the cashier asked her supervisor and she said it is fine to take. This, in a way, contradicts what I was told recently about how they won't take manufacturer coupons from competitor's ads. I have been given the supervisor and manager's email addresses and I will try my best to get a concrete answer soon.  3) Mackenthun's will give overages. Recently I paid for a $0.99 item with a $1.00 coupon.  And they gave me the total value of the coupon.  Now I doubt they would give it back to you in cash, but I used the $0.01 towards my other groceries.  4) Mackenthun's front end manager said that Mackenthun's WILL let you use two manufacturer coupons on a BOGO offer.  For example: lets say the ad says "BOGO free on item X" and there is a $1/1 coupon out there for that product.  Even though you are getting one item free, you can use two coupons.

For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much!  And if you are confused by the ad match, please go to their description HERE to learn how to read the shopping list. 

Also, do note that I have included every item that has a corresponding coupon, regardless if I think it is a good deal or not.  I also will include items that don't have a coupon if I think it is a good deal.  But in reality, the term "good deal" is relative.  What I think is a terrible deal may be an awesome deal to you.  But that is my spiel.  Here are this week's match-ups!

Why I Am Against Routine Infant Circumcision

Fact:
Circumcision was not introduced into our culture until the late 1800s. At this time, people believed that masturbation caused a host of different illnesses. It was concluded that by removing the only moveable part of the penis (the foreskin), sensitivity would be reduced and the desire to masturbate would be minimized. Ironically, as it turns out, circumcised men masturbate more than males intact.

Fact:
One out of every 500 circumcisions results in a serious complication. About 4 out of 100 are either considered unsatisfactory or result in some sort of complication. One study was conducted that followed circumcised boys beyond the immediate post-operative period.  It concluded that complications occurred at an alarming rate of 55%.

Fact:
There are 23 medically advanced nations. The U.S. is the only nation which routinely circumcises nearly 63% of its newborn males. Our country represents less than 1/20th of the world population, yet it performs more than half of all infant circumcisions worldwide. If the foreskin is so prone to problems, why haven't other advanced nations adopted routine circumcision? One can't help but wonder why the U.S. is the only medically advanced nation that performs routine infant circumcisions without any medical indication.

Fact:
Circumcision denudes: Depending on the amount of skin cut off, circumcision robs a male of as much as 80 percent or more of his penile skin. Depending on the foreskin's length, cutting it off makes the penis as much as 25 percent or more shorter. Careful anatomical investigations have shown that circumcision cuts off more than 3 feet of veins, arteries, and capillaries, 240 feet of nerves, and more than 20,000 nerve endings.31 The foreskin's muscles, glands, mucous membrane, and epithelial tissue are destroyed, as well.

Fact:
Circumcision desensitizes: Circumcision desensitizes the penis radically. Foreskin amputation means severing the rich nerve network and all the nerve receptors in the foreskin itself. Circumcision almost always damages or destroys the frenulum. The loss of the protective foreskin desensitizes the glans. Because the membrane covering the permanently externalized glans is now subjected to constant abrasion and irritation, it keratinizes, becoming dry and tough. The nerve endings in the glans, which in the intact penis are just beneath the surface of the mucous membrane, are now buried by successive layers of keratinization. The denuded glans takes on a dull, grayish, sclerotic appearance.

Fact:
Circumcision disables: The amputation of so much penile skin permanently immobilizes whatever skin remains, preventing it from gliding freely over the shaft and glans. This loss of mobility destroys the mechanism by which the glans is normally stimulated. When the circumcised penis becomes erect, the immobilized remaining skin is stretched, sometimes so tightly that not enough skin is left to cover the erect shaft. Hair-bearing skin from the groin and scrotum is often pulled onto the shaft, where hair is not normally found. The surgically externalized mucous membrane of the glans has no sebaceous glands. Without the protection and emollients of the foreskin, it dries out, making it susceptible to cracking and bleeding.

Fact:
Circumcision is unhygienic and unhealthy: One of the most common myths about circumcision is that it makes the penis cleaner and easier to take care of. This is not true. Eyes without eyelids would not be cleaner; neither would a penis without its foreskin. The artificially externalized glans and meatus of the circumcised penis are constantly exposed to abrasion and dirt, making the circumcised penis, in fact, more unclean. The loss of the protective foreskin leaves the urinary tract vulnerable to invasion by bacterial and viral pathogens. The circumcision wound is larger than most people imagine. It is not just the circular point of union between the outer and inner layers of the remaining skin. Before a baby is circumcised, his foreskin must be torn from his glans, literally skinning it alive. This creates a large open area of raw, bleeding flesh, covered at best with a layer of undeveloped proto-mucosa. Germs can easily enter the damaged tissue and bloodstream through the raw glans and, even more easily, through the incision itself.
      Even after the wound has healed, the externalized glans and meatus are still forced into constant unnatural contact with urine, feces, chemically treated diapers, and other contaminants.
       Female partners of circumcised men do not report a lower rate of cervical cancer,nor does circumcision prevent penile cancer. A recent study shows that the penile cancer rate is higher in the US than in Denmark, where circumcision, except among Middle-Eastern immigrant workers, is almost unheard of. Indeed, researchers should investigate the possibility that circumcision has actually increased the rate of these diseases.
         Circumcision does not prevent acquisition or transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). In fact, the US has both the highest percentage of sexually active circumcised males in the Western world and the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Rigorously controlled prospective studies show that circumcised American men are at a greater risk for bacterial and viral STDs, especially gonorrhea, nongonoccal urethritis, human papilloma virus, herpes simplex virus type 2, and chlamydia.

Fact:
Circumcision violates patients' and human rights: No one has the right to cut off any part of someone else's genitals without that person's competent, fully informed consent. Since it is the infant who must bear the consequences, circumcision violates his legal rights both to refuse treatment and to seek alternative treatment. In 1995, the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Bioethics stated that only a competent patient can give patient consent or informed consent.67An infant is obviously too young to consent to anything. He must be protected from anyone who would take advantage of his defenselessness. The concept of informed parental permission allows for medical interventions in situations of clear and immediate medical necessity only, such as disease, trauma, or deformity. The human penis in its normal, uncircumcised state satisfies none of these requirements. Physicians have a duty to refuse to perform circumcision. They also must educate parents who, out of ignorance or misguidance, request this surgery for their sons. The healthcare professional's obligation is to protect the interests of the child. It is unethical in the extreme to force upon a child an amputation he almost certainly would never have chosen for himself.

FACT:NO HEALTH ORGANIZATION RECOMMENDS ROUTINE INFANT CIRCUMCISION, not even the AAP. Nor does the World Health Organization.

CONCLUSION:
Would you cut off the tip of your babies finger, just because everyone else does it? Circumcision is just as ridiculous!

Mackenthun's of Waconia Coupon Ad-Match for 10/21-10/27/11

A few notes before we get to the deals.  I recently found out several things about Mackenthun's coupon policy: 1) Mackenthun's will take coupons up to one month expired.  Therefore I have included coupons in this ad-match that are expired for this amount of time.  2) I brought in a manufacturer coupon that said "Redeem at Hyvee" and the cashier asked her supervisor and she said it is fine to take. This, in a way, contradicts what I was told recently about how they won't take manufacturer coupons from competitor's ads. I have been given the supervisor and manager's email addresses and I will try my best to get a concrete answer soon.  3) Mackenthun's will give overages. Recently I paid for a $0.99 item with a $1.00 coupon.  And they gave me the total value of the coupon.  Now I doubt they would give it back to you in cash, but I used the $0.01 towards my other groceries.  4) Mackenthun's front end manager said that Mackenthun's WILL let you use two manufacturer coupons on a BOGO offer.  For example: lets say the ad says "BOGO free on item X" and there is a $1/1 coupon out there for that product.  Even though you are getting one item free, you can use two coupons.

For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much!  And if you are confused by the ad match, please go to their description HERE to learn how to read the shopping list. 

Also, do note that I have included every item that has a corresponding coupon, regardless if I think it is a good deal or not.  I also will include items that don't have a coupon if I think it is a good deal.  But in reality, the term "good deal" is relative.  What I think is a terrible deal may be an awesome deal to you.  But that is my spiel.  Here are this week's match-ups!

Mackenthun's Dollar Days Sale - October 26 & October 27

A few notes before we get to the deals.  I recently found out several things about Mackenthun's coupon policy: 1) Mackenthun's will take coupons up to one month expired.  Therefore I have included coupons in this ad-match that are expired for this amount of time.  2) I brought in a manufacturer coupon that said "Redeem at Hyvee" and the cashier asked her supervisor and she said it is fine to take. This, in a way, contradicts what I was told recently about how they won't take manufacturer coupons from competitor's ads. I have been given the supervisor and manager's email addresses and I will try my best to get a concrete answer soon.  3) Mackenthun's will give overages. Recently I paid for a $0.99 item with a $1.00 coupon.  And they gave me the total value of the coupon.  Now I doubt they would give it back to you in cash, but I used the $0.01 towards my other groceries.  4) Mackenthun's front end manager said that Mackenthun's WILL let you use two manufacturer coupons on a BOGO offer.  For example: lets say the ad says "BOGO free on item X" and there is a $1/1 coupon out there for that product.  Even though you are getting one item free, you can use two coupons.

For other ad matches, please check out Pocket Your Dollars. PYD is a wonderful resource and they have taught me so much!  And if you are confused by the ad match, please go to their description HERE to learn how to read the shopping list.
