Somebody on Slick Deals reported that you can use 10 different tabs to play the game what ever that means. Hope this helps, Nancy

For the fish - I'm pretty sure their marketing dept has figured out that people will assume that is the "per lb" price when they look at it. I always giggle at that one. They do it with filet mignon portions as well.

Jewel:
7/5-7/11
5.99 6oz portions
Filet Mignon
Salmon
I'm not doing the exact math, but that's $5.99 for 6/16th's of one lb of salmon that they routinely have on sale for $5.99/lb. Last week it was $6.99/lb.
Ok, so my coffee kicked in...
6oz = 6/16th of one pound, so my brain just wants to do it like this the first time through: 6 X 2.25 = 16oz (one pound)
5.99 x 2 .25%
$13.48 per lb?
Previous week it was $6.99/lb.
I'm not anti Jewel pricing games. They do what they do, and they gotta make money, like any other business, and I love having them around. But, my freezer and Seal A Meal have paid for themselves 50 times over in 10 years. It does help that my brain is wired a certain way, and I have the free time by being a procrastinator for other issues.

Clearly I missed the 'watch videos' to progress.
How is that accessed? Now, I did get the extra points for clicking-on-this or watch an on-loading video, I did not see how to do this daily for points to play.
