Ok chicas....what did I do? Because I did seven sets of four, and got 14 $2 catalinas and 7 milk cats.

I can’t figure out where I double-dipped, but I did! | Smart Spending Spot

I just did my weekly trip at Acme. I can’t figure out where I double-dipped, but I did!
I was mainly interested in the GM stuff, as far as stockpiling. I did not get ANY of the other catalina offers, like the Carnation or PopTarts. I did however, mix & match a total of 28 different GM items. It was a mix of HN Cheerios, MultiGrain Cheerios, NV Granola Bars and Fiber One Brownies. In return, I got 7 catalinas for a free milk, 7 catalinas for $2 each, compliments of General Mills, and 7 catalinas for “$2 off your next purchase of $2 or more” but there is no mfr mentioned anywhere. I also got two catalinas to go online to enter at BTFE, for $1 each.
I went back and looked at the post I did on the national catalinas, and they all should have ended July 10. Even if I was double-dipping on those, I should have only gotten one $3 catalina extra, for buying 5 or more of the mentioned GM items.
In any event, with coupons and catalinas afterwards, it definitely means that the GM items work out to be free–with $4 in catalinas plus a $4.50 milk catalina for each set of 4, I know I didn’t pay $8.50 oop for each set.
Just wish I could figure out how it was working, so that I could go back & do more.

I got that too today. I scanned my four cereals and a $2 coupon popped out. Not at the end of the trans, just right then and there. Now I also purchased Snackwells, and a $1 coupon printed immediately and four NV Granolas and a $1 printed instantly. The Snackwells I expected. The other "instant" ones I did not. I also received all of my respective $2 cats and free milk.

It is a mystery, but I am getting more cereal tomorrow. I guess it is the cereal that triggers the $2....

And did this forum just die or is it just me? (Or just because Acme abandoned us?)

That is what I thought. I haven't seen anything in so long and we've all been so very spoiled...

Hope you are well though!

Nah, stay tuned. I've been fairly consistently posting highlights on my blog, I'll try to consistently repost them here too. I've been doing ok there. I think the days of what we're used to are gone.
