Lowes Foods GDA - Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls 8ct - Possible MM...see post 7 & 8

[katncaed]

Not one of the best deals, but not too shabby if you need some.

Lowes Foods has the same Pillsbury Catalina deal going on as many other stores do:

Buy Pillsbury refridgerated rolls/biscuits through 02/21
Buy 4 get a $2 OYNO
Buy 5 get a $3 OYNO
Buy 6 get a $4 OYNO


LF has the 8ct Cinnamon Rolls on price drop to $1.79. There is also a $.75/2 blinkie available at some area stores. I have found it at Kroger & Food Lion.

$10.74 - 6 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
-$4.50 - 3 $.75/2 blinkies
$6.24 - $4.00 OYNO = $2.24 or $.37 each

...or, as clippyclippy pointed out, you can use the $.50/1 IP found here (http://www.boxtops4education.com/pillsburyboxtops/default.aspx?cid=3&WT.mc_id=paid_search_300202_636117&WT.srch=1&esrc=11192) to make it a little cheaper...however, only the first 4 will double.

[clippyclippy]

There are also .50/1 IPs out there - which would make them .13 if you can manage to print 6 of them.

[katncaed]

Wow, can't believe I missed an IP. I really need to get back in the swing of things.

I'll use 4 of those and 1 of the $.75/2 blinkies since LF will only double 4 like coupons.
OOP will be $1.24 after coupons and OYNO...or $.21 each.

Why do I always forget about those darned limits when a good deal comes along? :rolleyes24:
But wait. I looked on LFTG and I didn't see the cinnamon rolls on price drop. What I did see was the Italian Meal Bread and Pizza Crust at 1.69. Would it be different in my area?
The .50/1 IP is good for those.
So I'd buy 4:
6.76
-4.00 (.50/1 x 4)
-2.00 OYNO
=.76/4 or .19 each

Now, as I look more closely at the LF policy, this is what I see:
"we limit redemption to 4 coupons for 4 of the same item"

Should I be able to get 4 Italian Meal Bread and 2 Pizza Crusts?
10.14
-6.00 (.50/1 x 6 - making sure I don't get 4 of the same item)
-4.00 OYNO
= .14/6 or .02 each....:shrug7:

This would be YMMV, since I'm sure most cashiers are set on the 4 like coupons idea. Doesn't matter what the policy actually says I guess.

[katncaed]

The price drop is really a "new low price," so it doesn't show up as a sale price. My LFTG is showing the 8ct cinnamon rolls at $1.79. The small can (5ct, I think) is showing $1.70.

On the limit, it's more that the register is programmed to only double 4 like coupons...or in more detail, 4 coupons that have the same barcode.

You should be able to use more than 4 as long as you get different variaties, but still, only the first 4 will double.

[uummm]

Yeah I have found them to be 4 like coupons. My store will enforce this even on coupons that won't double (like the kraft bbq $1/1 last year). Not even worth it to argue.

[sofiamama]

I don't know if the "sweet rolls" are the same as the cinnamon rolls as I've never bought them but there is a new IP out for $0.95/1:

[katncaed]

I don't know if the "sweet rolls"....

$.95/1????? I've never seen a $.95/1 coupon. Wow!!! And yes, that will work for this deal. You can use 4 and get 4 for free, and use one of the blinkies that are now at Lowes Foods as well, right in front of the cinnamon rolls!!!

Should work out link this:
$10.74 - 6 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
-$7.60 - 4 $.95/1 IP
-$1.50 - 1 $.75/2 blinkies
$1.64 - $4.00 OYNO = $2.36 MM :biggrin:

Thanks for the info on the printable sofiamama. Now I just wish I had access to a few more computers!!!

[clippyclippy]

Oh my.....it just keeps getting better!
I shopped tonight at 10:00 pm. all I could find was one tiny 5ct can of cinnamon rolls for 1.79.
The bigger ones were 2.19 or something. So I passed on the deal, figuring if I'm working on regular price, I may as well wait till there are 6 tiny cans to buy.
So glad I waited! Now I still have my 4 .95/1 Qs!

New and improved:
$10.14 - 6 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls sale at 1.69
-$7.60 - 4 $.95/1 IP
-$2.00 - 2 $.50/1 IP
$.54
- $4.00 OYNO
- $1.00 FRC = $4.46 MM :biggrin:

I bought 6 and I did indeed get the FRC x2.
So change above total to 5.46 MM. :hectic1:

do they have any limits on internet coupons?
say like only 2 at HT?

[cpnmaniac44]

so you can not use the 4.00 OYNO until you get to 5.00...?
is there a time limit or expiration date on OYNO?

what is FRC?

The .95/1 coupons are not longer available.
I do have (2).50/1

[cpnmaniac44]

well.....some quick service from Catalina Marketing. I have not been able to call over the weekend, so I sent a message yesterday. They asked for name, etc. and "company" name, meaning what company did I work for. I had to put something so the message would get sent. I entered "consumer". Then today I get an e-mail asking me for all the info from my visit, and they suggest I scan and send them a copy of my receipt. I have no scanner, so maybe they can process my inquiry without that. So, I got a very quick reply to my inquiry and I was forced to inquire as a business since there were no consumer links. They got my message right over to the proper dept. in a hurry.

FRC = Fresh Rewards Cash. It's kinda like Lowes version of CVS's ExtraBucks - coupons you earn, and you can use to take $ off your next order. A lot of times the promotions are kinda meh, but occasionally you'll find one you can use coupons with and get a decent deal.

Here's (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/lowes-foods/281350-lowes-foods-new-rewards-program-fresh-rewards-cash-faq.html) a thread about it. HTH.

[cpnmaniac44]

I got an e-mail and Catalina Marketing told me to allow 8-12 weeks, so I did not call them. I gave them all the info they asked for except a scanned copy of my receipt.

So....$4 OYNO may be OYFO (on your future (2-3 months) order)

[MammaLakn]

I bought 4 Pbury and my catalina didnt print. I know I have it somewhere but please share Catalina's contact info with me again. Thanks.

[cpnmaniac44]

this is how I sent them a message.
Contact | Catalina Marketing (http://www.catalinamarketing.com/contact/)
on Saturday and not waiting until today to call.
I guess it is too late to call on the same incident so I wait 8-12 weeks like on rebates. I did not know the OYNO was a catalina. The store personnel was not advertising it either, or somebody like the customer, or them, would have known the machine is not spitting out a coupon.

[uummm]

I had emailed them during the Kraft $5 OYNO cAT a few weeks ago, I never scanned anything, I just sent them the time, date, store, blah blah, plus the the line on the receipet that has it all listed again. I got an email response a few days later telling me it could take 6-8 weeks, then received my cat about 4 days later.

I always find it amusing that they say 6-8 weeks - they've always sent them to me within a few days!

[cpnmaniac44]

I e-mailed them the 13th. They had the catalina postmarked to me by the 17th, I got it on the 19th or today.
