Since I started couponing last December, I have become such a frugalista (sounds better than "cheapskate", LOL!). I can't believe I used to pay "actual money" for things like cereal and other premade goods!

It is so great to know there are others out there who are of the same mindset.

I have the Cat printout for the PIllsbury event and it says nothing about total after coupons, so I think (hope) we are in the clear

I haven't seen many "Buy X quanity" deals. If it's an actual quanity and not a $ amount, then coupons would work fine, and you would get a good deal if you have the right coupons.

The CAT'S still work with coupons it just requires you to buy more in order to qualify than you would have had to buy before when you could apply the coupons and meet the requirements BEFORE the coupons were added in. It does get confusing sometimes.

Guess I won't be doing anymore buy x get $x deals anymore if that is the case. Wish I knew for sure though. Is there anybody who works at Cub that can confirm this?

Geez, it's like paying actual money for things that aren't worth that much! Aaargh!

Jenny - I just looked again at my register coupons that prinited and I do see that deal with Pillsbury. Doesn't start until the 6th. You can use coupons on that deal. I doesn't state anywhere you can't use manu coupons. I wonder if that deal is going to be advertised, or if it's only through the register printed notice given.

Thanks so much! Repped ya. It would have been sadly funny if I went there on October 4th, bought the correct items, used coupons, and did not get my Catalina.

Again, thanks for letting me know! Definitely appreciate it.

Strange, my Cat printout says it starts on the 5th. I wonder if they changed the start date :shrug7: My Cat printed last Saturday. Is yours more current? Maybe I will wait til the 6th, just to be safe .

Can anyone specify the Pillsbury cat? Ours are labeled with buy 4 get $2 oyno. What would get me $6?

Hey Jeni -

I did the CAT for the Pillsbury today and it worked. The CAT this week included the Pillsbury products, so you could double up. On the display at the store it only displays if you buy 4 of the products you get $2.00 back, but the print out at the register 2 weeks ago said if you buy 6 you get $4.00 OYNO. I bought 6 and used coupons and I got the $4.00 print out + the $10.00 for the weekly CAT. ALTHOUGH this week you had you have you total of $25.00 before coupons were applied. I know, I know...you had to buy more, and in my case my pantry is FULL, but it was a good deal with all the coupons I had for everything.

Do you mean before or after coupons? In other words, did you spend $25 after coupons? And thank you so much for the info on the Pillsbury! I tried to rep you, but I gotta spread the love. Thanks again girlie!

The deal was if you bought $25.00 of the products after coupons are applied. Sorry it's so confusing! I just picked out what I had coupons and marked the ad so I knew I had just over $25.00 w/o the coupons. I think I had 11.50 in coupons, so still got a good deal, but I had to buy more to get the deal.
