I got just one $2 catalina for the 2 5pk boxes (I only got 2 5pk Mac& Cheese boxes total, bought one box and the second box was free), I didn't have to buy 2 5pk boxes and get 2 free for the $2 cat to print but maybe that was just my Albertsons?

Welcome to our group desertmama10! I think that is great that you were able to get the $2 catalina after only technically buying one 5pk and getting the second free in their B1G1F sale. Most of our Albertsons run similar sales, but for some reason the catalina deals still tend to vary from one store to the next. It's kind of a pain sometimes, but the only way to find out if we can get the same catalina deals is thru trial and error. Thanks for sharing and I hope others here will be able to get the same catalina that you did.

This deal worked for me. I read on another thread that today is the last day for the CAT. I'm fairly new here too, so I'm not sure if I can do this deal again and get another CAT, but I'm going to try. I think it's a pretty good deal anyways. Something I would like to stock up on for summer.

My Albertsons is printing the $2 CAT for the kraft mac and cheese deal this makes it $3.79 when I roll the $2 cat for 2 5pks Mac and cheese and 2 Capri suns This makes me a happy camper! Especially with summer coming I need a go-to lunch for the kids!

Your Albertsons is cheaper than mine! I spent $4.29 with the $2 CAT for this deal.

I also stocked up on the V8 100% fruit and veggie juice. It's 2/$4 and there is a $1/2 blinkie next to the juice making them $1.50 each! My kids love this juice and this is the cheapest I've seen it. I got 10 of them and may go get more before Tuesday.

Welcome BeachMommyX4! Wow so many new members here with wonderful deal info to share! I love it!!!

Catalina-wise, I don't see why you can't do the deal again and again. The only thing I am usually leary of is if the cat will roll. Most times it does, but there have been times, such as with a lot of P&G deals, that it hasn't. Although I love to roll cats, I prefer to play it on the safe side and instead save them up for a different transaction altogether until I know for sure. Just me being my cautious self as usual.

Lucky you boots! The price for the 5pks at my Albertsons was $6.29 and I was so excited when the $2 catalina printed that I'm sure that I was grinning from ear to ear. But OMG I thought for sure that it wasn't going to print because I had already paid, my stuff was bagged, and I was just waiting for my change and receipt, by the time that it slowly decided to print out. Oh the anxiety! :hectic1:

I found $1/2 Skippy coupons (both expire 8/23/09) in both my Sunday papers. On page A3 of the San Diego Union Tribune, and on page A19 of the LA Times. So, check your papers just in case before you recycle them for the week!

Thank you for the tip! I haven't thrown out my LA Times yet so I'll check them for sure.

I got a coupon from the meat department yesterday on my ground beef. I've never had that before. It was HARD to peel off though. It was a red plum coupon for some type of marinade or seasoning. I can't remember exactly but I can look later when I get home. Would this be considered a peelie?

Yep that would be a meat peelie if it has the Manufacturer's barcode on it. I find that Albertsons is really good about having peelies on their meat products for other products in their store. Kind of an enticement for shoppers to buy extra products in the same shopping trip. Good job and thanks for posting your find!
