Hi! Well done. I am curious if you will do anything about your missing Cats?
Pick n Save was really easy about making sure I got mine. They re-rang my cereal to make it print and gave me the cat in one instance. And another time they called the Catalina company ( different store) to handle it, and when I haden't heard anything in a week issued me an $10 GC.

not sure if I will call the Catalina people myself -- I was under time constraints and didn't have the time to stand at customer service. I was pretty happy with the total even without the cats, though.

I now have so much cereal it isn't funny, probably 70 plus boxes -- but I also have 5 kids, 4 of whom are boys that eat more than me. So . . . that amount might get me through the summer!! :hysterical:

Good to see all your deals!

[kimfn]

5 kids!? Yeah, you'll be needing the cereal! I grew up in a house of 6 kids, and we'd have 2 bowls at breakfast and one bowl when we got home from school..... my mom would get upset because 'cereal was so expensive'....if you'd only known!!!!

LOVE your totals Deja!!! You are a master!

Do you happen to have a number for the catalina company? I was shorted one myself and was going to call and see what they say.

Thanks.

I bet you used a $5.00 cat to pay for it. I found that if you used a $5.00 cat from the race for savings it did not print another one. Be careful not to use certain cats when buying more items that produce cats. Kind of like WAGS sometimes it works other times it does not. I just never use a cat from the same company to purchase like products. It is a grocery store and so there is NEVER a problem using cats for things I need. Hope this helps. Should we get a post going for cats at Pick n save??

what did you buy to get the $5 cat...I missed that.

Amy, the ad had a full page flyer with a few choices of buy $20 worth of product get $5 back OYNO. One was Scott/ Glad? maybe... products, one was huggies products, and Kellogg's. There may have been another, I've tossed my ad.

Nice of you to say, but I didn't think I did that great. I always need so much extra stuff, like dinner; lol. I really wanted to a Kellogg's order and an all free's order, but it gets exhausting with the kids.

The promo was buy $20 worth get a cat for $5 off your next purchase. I think this promo ran for around 2 weeks, but I know it ended on 5/20. It included lots of different products like Hefty, Kelloggs cereal, poptarts, Huggies, Cleanteam, Cottonelle, there were quite a few more, but don't remember.

ty for the reply!
