Are you sure? I thought Food Lion's deal was over?

I would get as many gift cards as possible, the rest I'd spend on sugar, flour,
stuff like that & baggies to seal the stuff up in so you don't have to worry about those little bugs getting in your stash. I'm also using mine on a lot of canned food. Don't know what's going to happen after this next election but I've got enough food to last us through the winter until we get another garden going.

Okay, PLEASE educate me! I'm a newbie at this. I shop at Kroger (even though I hate them) and what are catelinas? How do you get them? Can you use them to buy anything?

Thanks!

The gel warmers are over, but now the Glade OIL warmers are producing $4 catalinas at Food Lion and Kroger. There are other stores as well, but none of them ae in this area. Use the BOGO coupons for the lowest OOP. The price is $4.49 each.

Okay, so I know what they are now, those check out printer coupons. So, are you just buying these Glade things in order to get the $4 catelinas? I'm assuming they are just $4 that you can use on anything in the the store then. Are you getting the Glade products for free or something with coupons b/c otherwise I never use those things? Sorry so slow. :)

Also I'm going to Kroger tomorrow, do I look for something on the shelf in regard to what catelinas will be produced or is it just a wait and see deal? Again, sorry to hijack the thread, just totally fascinated by all of this! Must learn!!

1. Is this deal regional or is it nation wide? (First things first ;) )
2. WOW! WTG! That is awesome. I would suggest using them on gift cards or bags for the sealer machine if you have one.

[katncaed]

This is a nationwide deal. There were BOGO coupons on the Glade Oil Warmers in the Smart Source 09/28 insert. If you buy them, they will print.

(2) Glade Oil Warmers - $4.49 x 2
(1) BOGO coupon

Total OOP will be $4.49 + tax.
You'll then get (2) $4 catalinas. It's a $3 money maker on each set you buy.

Not sure if there is a maximum. We used 23 on the transaction we did on Sunday. I guess it would depend on you cashier/store. Our Kroger is pretty easy going.

I was at a kroger a few weeks ago & was told I had to have as many items as I did coupons/cats. (haven't had this happen at any other store) Was NOT happy as it was almost midnight & I was tired. I grabbed a bunch of the small shaved meat packs for around 59¢ each. If I go back to that particular store I'll be sure to grab a bunch of bananas & ring them up individually so they'll count each one as one item.

I just got back off vacation & was told at one store that I could only use one per transaction as stated on the cat. I told them to show me where it stated that. Of course they couldn't find it. I was going to have them bust up my entire purchase but the manager told the clown to scan as many as the register would take......ended up taking them all. Imagine that?
