It says thank you for buying Crystal Light. I don't know how many triggers it. I bought 4. We are going camping the end of the month so I bought these to put away until then. The small containers are perfect.

I think it's $2 for every 3 that you buy. It should print as soon as every third one is scanned. I think it ends on the 21st.

This deal ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I went to do the Avenu water deal tonite since it was the last night and decided to try the Crystal Light deal I read about. So I get to the first store...No Crystal Light singles. Second store had TONS...so I brought up around 24 of them to the self check out. Had to scan each and every one. Such a hassle cause the self bagging area couldn't calculate the weight of these cause they are so small so I had to keep getting help from the cashier anyways. Then the CATS were popping out for every 3 I scanned and I was trying to use them on THIS order. Became a mess, manager was called to override the coupons...She was RAD though! She told me that the customer was to do what they wished with their OYNO because it printed out before the end of the transaction, why not use it.

Anyways, as I was leaving one of the cashiers mentioned that you can actually bring up as many as you wanted to the cashier and tell them the amount, has to be over 24 though and they can just scan ONE and then enter the amount of the items you have. Well, I liked this idea HOWEVER I wasn't sure if the $2 OYNO would actually print out if we did it that way. So she suggested I go back and get the whole singles box which had 30 individuals in them. She had to open the box to scan one of the singles cause it didn't work just scanning the box. Low and behold ALLLLL $2 OYNO cats printed!!!! All 10 of them!!!!

So the total before the Cats was $15 for that box of singles, $20 in Cats printed!!!

You will initially pay $15 OOP for the first box then for each additional box you will pay $1 OOP for the whole box because the CATS don't add up to $15 =)

AND you can for sure roll this deal into the next box of Crystal Light!!!

Make sure that you get the singles box though, the one that the store has to open and sell seperately. They are priced at 2/$1, but they are really .50c ea...The picture above is what the box looks like when opened. The ones I got were actually closed up but had the perforated edge to open the box as seen in the pic and that portion that is torn off is actually just all white with some writing on it so it doesn't look like a regular box.

I came out with $40 in CATS even AFTER rolling!!!!!

Don't know when the deal ends but I would get to your store FAAAAAST!

So the deal is buy:
3 CL singles @ .50c ea = $1.50
$2 CAT spits out
= .50c MM

Thanks for the information. I am a bit confused. So for each 3 packets of CL on the go, the machine will print out a $2 OYNP? How much are these?

Those priced at 2/$1 will not print a OYNP?

Yes, for each 3 packets you buy the machine will spit out a $2 OYNO!

The ones that are priced at 2/$1 are actually just .50c each. They just do the 2/$1 to make you buy more...so buy:

3 @ .50c ea = $1.50
get $2 OYNO cat...

PLUS the Cat actually spits out before the end of the transaction...so you will know for sure if it works or not...well at least my store it did that...

I believe the tag I saw at Albertsons last week had the CL going thru 3/24. After this post, the catalina people will probably pull the plug after tomorrow. CL singles work for the $10 cat wyb $25 Kraft which runs through tomorrow. If you arent sure where they are, they are located at the registers (usually every other one at the stores Ive been to).

1st trans:
had $8 in cats: bought 18 to confirm the cat machine was working and printing multiples; $1 oop (8 cats turn into $12 cats)
2nd trans: 33 CL
4 8 oz kraft 2% blocks -3 in qs => 25.50 -12 cats-3 oop 10.50 (turn 12 cats into 11 2 CL cats ($22), 1 $3 cheese cat and the kraft $10 cat :D

3rd trans: 60 CL cost $30 -30 cats; 0 oop get back 20 $2 cl cats and 10 Kraft ($20 MM)



A cashier told me they could only enter the lot manually in multiples of 12. So, I got 60 instead of 50 or 51 (17 CL cats) and the boxes come in 30s which makes it easy.

Thank you ECKS for the awesome scenario!! I did this today when I went. I bought 51 CL single servings. Got 17-$2 Cats and a $10 Cat!!! Reps to you! :BigHand:

I'm bummed this ends today, if I could I would do it again and again and again! With the CL and Arrowhead deal, free lemonade for a year!!! :giggle2:

When does the arrowhead cat end?

ETA: When I was in the express line she was able to enter the 51 CL packets as one, she dind't have to break it up! Easy peasy!
