Phin - I only tested out the Gushers (strawberry) to see if they would produce the cats since they weren't tagged and they did. Since the Nature Valley were already tagged, I wasn't worried about trying them to see if they worked. As for trying out the new kind of fruit snacks to see if they would work, I haven't done that yet as the $.40/1 coupon is actually for "any variety" of fruit flavored snacks. So in better words, the coupon is not just for the dino or the bug flavored snacks that are pictured on the coupon, it also applies to the other types of fruit flavored snacks such as gushers, fruit roll-ups, etc. HTH.

In regards to spreading the love, the rep system is set up so that you can't rep the same person over and over. The magic number here is 10 and so if you repped someone today, you must rep 9 more different people (spreading the love) before the system will allow you to re-rep the same person again. Kind of wonky, but fair in a sense.

I tried to do the Box Tops promo today and the catalinas did not print. I bought 12 boxes of Kleenex (Ultra Soft 130 count, 2/$3) and 2 Hefty Crystal Clear Cups (18 count, 2/$4). The cups were extra large but that is all my albertsons had. Anyways I spent 25 minutes at the customer service desk as the gal re-rung up those items multiple times and it wouldn't print. She even tried just ringing up enough Kleenex to get over $20 and just $20 worth of cups and it still wouldn't print. Finally the manager got a different item from the promotion and rang up $20 worth and the cats finally printed. At least Albertsons has great customer service but I wanted to post so others would know that these items might not be triggering the cats like they should.

I got 5 of the new bug fruit snacks and 4 nature valley.It didn't print only cat for them but not the 5 and the 50 BTFE. I got a great customer service. He just rang nature valley only just to get me BTFE so I was lucky since the fruit snack not tagged.

So just want to let others know that new kind fruit snack not trigger the 5 cat and 50 BTFE.

Thanks for sharing girls. Hopefully this will help others better plan their trips so that they don't run into the same problelm.

As for Albertsons Customer Service, whenever I have a problem with a promo, I just head over to the Customer Service counter and they right the problem almost instantly.

Phin- thanks for pointing out that the bugs fruit snacks don't work for the promo, but do work for the Fruit snack catalina. I have avoided buying the bug snacks altogether because they are so new and I didn't want to risk not getting any of the catalinas. Aren't I bad? LOL!

Heads up on free caprisun wyb 2 nabisco snack cookies tray. the chip ahoy 15.25 oz also works.
I did the kraft 25 got 5 and I bought 5 of each and it took one caprisun 2.19 off.

If I would have know I would split the transactions and I will buy 2 caprisun and 2 chip ahoy use 2/2 coupons
2.19*2=4.38
2.50*2=5
-4 Q=5.38-2.19 =3.19 for 4 items.

Anyway the saving is pretty much the same anyway.

I paid $5.19 OOP for 2 Caprisuns & 2 Nabisco Snack packs, using 2 x $2/2 coupons. I think I like your deal better.

It means your store not taking the free caprisun off Ocean Brez?

I guess it depends on each store then.
