grandmajoanne, I hope they can fix the beeping and you can get your catalinas. I heard several excuses about why the coupons beeped. The cashier said because I got the Catalinas on the same day, the register wouldn't accept it. I told her I have only been to Albies once this week which was Wednesday. I don't think they want us to roll the cats on the same deal.:frown:

THIS COUPON CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE,?:shrug7:(same :shrug7:)
CAN BE COMBINDED WITH OTHER COUPON OFFERS ?

I can see myself asking for the Catalina back so I can
use it to pay for other groceries.:shrug7:

Happy Shopping,

Kitta

Thanks for the breakdown and the ConAgra tip Zmom!

I haven't had the time just yet to try to roll my cats, but for those interested, this is the breakdown of my 1st transaction:

(2) Pillsbury Refrigerated Cookie Dough = $5 $1/2 blinkie
(3) BC Cookie Mix pouches = $4.98 $.75/1 IP x 3
(1) BC Frosting = $1.66 $.55/1
(2) Wishbone Ranch Dressings = $3.32 $1/2
(2) Progresso Soups = $3.32 $1.10 IP x 2
(2) All Small&Mighty Laundry Detergent = $6.66 $1/2
(2) Suave Kids Shampoo = $3.32 $1/2
(1) Suave Lotion = $2.50 $1/1

= $30.76 + $.97 tax
- $10 coupons
= $21.73 and received $15 in catalinas

I went today to do the deal and they were out of Sure lotion, Vaseline lotion and only had the Dove shampoo. So I didn't get to do my deal.
Why don't they have stock for the weekends when they have these deals?
So frustrating!
Then to make it even more exciting when I went to leave a 20 year old female backed into my car and ruined my bumper. She was driving on a suspended license and had no insurance.
The good news I called the police and they gave her a $1,500.00 ticket.
I do have insurance and we were not hurt so I am great full for that.
Not a good shopping day!

I tried to do two deals today...No cat. I know I had the right stuff. I had it all planned out. I had the total $30 before Q's and got it down to $16.xx and was going to roll the $15 on the next one. No cat's printed on either transaction. I went to the customer service desk and they said that I had to spend $29 after Q's. One of the supervisors is supposed to call me back. What should I do. I'm new to this and I think I got screwed. I told them that the ad should've said after q's if that was the case. They were nice, but were not going to issue me a gf. Should I call the cat. company?!? please help.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad day, but I am also glad to hear that you were not hurt.

I would wait for the supervisor (the manager would be better) to call you back and then go from there. As far as coupons are concerned, manufacturer's coupons as well as catalinas, are a form of payment, and the stores are reimbursed for each coupon plus 8¢ by the manufacturer's. So in essence, your total before any form of payment was applied, WAS $30.

Hi: I've bee watching the posts for Albies this week and I'm still on the sidelines waiting to see if you all are able to get these cat problems resolved. I can't tell whether you have to buy items from all catagories or if its alright to buy from just one. I think I'll wait until Monday night and then ask around at the store and then jump in. I repped whoever the system would allow,
