When you do one deal and get your $10 cat can you use the cat to do another deal. Will it roll?
or
Do you need to use the $10 cat on non cat producing items?

I haven't tried rolling mine yet (going to try it today) but it has been reported in the NW Albertsons and Acme forum that it is rolling without problems.

It sounds like you have all gotten some fabulous deals but I still don't catch on! :sad:
Does anyone know what the lowest OOP I can spend is to get back the most CATS? I used up my food budget so have to borrow from another budget so desperate to spend as little OOP to get some groceries and CATS!

If you don't have any catalinas to start with, then your OOP for your first deal will be a bit higher based on what you buy and what coupons you have available to use. Once you get your first $10 GM catalina and start rolling it, then your OOP will gradually decrease.

Since I didn't have any catalinas to start with, my OOP for the promo was $18.95 after coupons. If you factor in that I earned a $10 GM catalina, a $3.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks catalina and a $3 Pillbury catalina, then that is $16.50 in catalinas that I now have to "roll" over from my first deal into the promo again or to just use towards other food items.

If you really need the stuff, then this is a great promo to take advantage of and stock up with. If your budgets a bit tight though, then you will need to take that into consideration too. Hope this answers your questions and I will try to post my deal breakdowns for you and others a bit later when I come back from the stores.

Okay, I am back and going to post my run from yesterday as well as today.

1st run:
5 BC Fruit snacks (3 @ $2.29, 2 @ $1.99) = $10.85 used 2 x $.50/2 Insert coupons, 1 x $.40/1 Fruit Shapes IP
3 Fiber One Toaster Pastries @ $2.00 each = $6.00 used 3 x $1.10/1 tearpad coupons
5 Pillsbury (3 Cresent Rolls, 2 Grands! Biscuits) @ $1.66 = $8.30 used $1.00/3 blinkie, $.50/2 Insert coupon

Total = $25.15
less $6.20 coupons
= $18.95 OOP
Earned $10 GM catalina, $3 Pillsbury catalina, $3.50 BC Fruit Snacks catalina, and I got a $2 survey! Woohoo!


2nd run:
5 BC Fruit snacks (3 @ $2.29, 2 @ $1.99) = $10.85 used 2 x $.50/2 Insert coupons, 1 x $.40/1 Fruit Shapes IP
2 Fiber One Toaster Pastries @ $2 each = $4.00 used 2 x $1.10/1 tearpad coupons

1 Nature Valley Granola Bars @ $2.50 = $2.50 used 1 x $1.00/1 coupon (got this on a coupon train)

Total = $25.17
less $9.05 in Manufacturer's coupons
less $10 GM catalina
less $3.50 BC Fruit Snacks Catalina
less $3.00 Pillsbury catalina
= -38¢ (I didn't really go into the negative because I also bought kitten food and the Albertsons butter and so my actual OOP was $5.63 including 35¢ tax)
Earned $10 GM Catalina and a $3.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks catalina.
