Free book catalina? $5 value?

[DianeScraps]

I got a free book catalina for a free kids book or $5 off any other book, anyone know what triggered this?

My store didn't even have the books

I asked at customer service, and they had to call over management, who said they had not gotten that shipment, but another local store had. I told them I didn't shop that store anymore since they had opened. The manager said that was what he wanted and had the customer service gal give me a $5 Acme gift card ( I had only spent $5.09 so this was AWESOME!)

If it helps I bought:
6 packs Band Aids (10 for $10)
10 bottles Dasani Plus Water (10 for $10)
3 boxes Good Humour Ice Cream novelties (buy 1 get 2 free)
2 boxes Pasta Roni (10 for $10)
6 1/2 gallons Swiss Miss Tea (3 for $5)

used coupons on everything

It must have been the Band Aids. I got the same Catalina when I bought 5 boxes of Band Aids and a few other things, but none of the other things were the same as yours. My Band Aids included 4 children's varieties and one regular.

awesome! Mine were all the childrens band aids, now I have to find some more computers to print the coupons off of.


Thanks

Same here - I bought 7 band aids & got the same catalina. I'll have to see if my store has the books. I've never seen them.

now we just need to figure out what the minimum number of band aids is to get the catalina

Another reason to be mad at myself. I used all my $1/1 bandaid Qs at walmart on trial sizes. All I have now are my two measly printables, meanwhile I have like 8 small packages that contain 10 bandaids each. Whoopee.

More than 3. I picked up 3 boxes today and no cat. :frown:

[~~Who,Me?~~]

Shoot, I only have 2 coupons. And there's no way I'm PAYING for bandaids, lol.

That would be like paying for toothbrushes or toothpaste if you have a CVS nearby. Just unthinkable.

I found the scoop! Unfortunately for ACME it only runs 2 more days
