Thanks desertmama10 for posting the specifics on what you bought!


kori ~ can you post what you bought in your first transaction for us? TIA!

I paid with a gift card and no longer have the receipt. This is what I remember:
BC Cookie Mixes
Wishbone Salad Dressing
Chex Mix Snacks
Fiber One Bars
Kleenex Facial Tissue
Progresso Broth


I did keep the receipt of the deal that did not give me the $15 catalina.
I bought the following:
(5) Cottonelle Moist Wipes
(1) Q-Tips
(2) Lipton Dry Soup Mix
(2) Progresso Broth
(2) Wishbone Salad Dressing
(4) Green Giant Corn
(1) Yoplait Fiber One
(1) Yoplait Delights

Again, this is what I bought when I didn't get the catalina

Well I just got back from doing another run at a different Albertsons store and... my cats didn't print AGAIN! C.S. was nice enough and forced my catalinas to print by scanning my Pillsbury Toaster Strudel (Strawberry) a bunch of times, but even so, they insisted that they thought it was due to my coupon usage. Grrrr!!!

When I got home, I called catalina and asked them to check my order from yesterday (they couldn't pull up today's yet) and they confirmed that my coupon usage had nothing to do with my catalinas not printing. What they did confirm was that certain stores have their promo items prices programmed in incorrectly and so even though I bought $31.27 worth of promo items, the catalina system was showing that I was under by over a dollar. She said that they have gotten a few similar complaints over the last few days and she suggested that I try to bring my total over the threshold by a few more dollars to try to balance out the problem. Are they serious??? :nah1: I undertand catalinas reasoning, but why should I have to spend more money to get my cats to print when I am already going over the required minimum already?

If anything, I refuse to let this problem of the cats not printing discourage me from doing the deal a few more times. If I have to visit C.S. a few more times before this promo deal is over, then so be it!
