I tried at two different FL stores, one with 25 cans, the other with 15. Used coupons for both orders. No cat either time :-(

DH tried on his way home from work. Bought 25 can, used coupons, no cat. I stopped on my way home. Bought 24 cans, cheese for 3.19, used coupons and only paid .22. I should have been charged 1.08 in tax plus 3.19 for the cheese. I used 4 $3/5 coupons and 4 free mighty dog coupons. My receipt showed 5 $3 coupons.

I talked to the manager. He said the catalinas are now individualized based on your regular shopping habits. I surely hope he's wrong about that. I'm thinking maybe the $3 came off my second order because of the first order. Does that make sense? I'm going to try again tomorrow with the B3G3F coupons and that way I'll be able to tell if an additional $3 comes off. I guess it's possible the cashier scanned one of my coupons more than once.

First rule of FOODLION dont believe anything the manager says... It really looks like the cashier scanned one of your 3 dollar Qs one too many times.. i dont think you mvp card recorded your transaction and gave u the $3.00 off.. but you never know...

The $3 catalina is off a future order. This is what is stated on offer. I went to Fl. Asked cashier if catalina machine worked. It did not so she opened another register. Had 4 orders. 25 cans and additional item in each order. 1st order catalina did not print. Got another cashier who told her to ring up other orders. NONE of the catalinas printed. She was supposed to check with catalina but gave me $12.60 in cash. Told her I wasn't due tax but she insisted. The manager was watching and this person has had numerous complaints at corp. I thanked her this time. I did use coupons on each order. This was in VA. I had the preview catalina with me so that is why she did what she did. She kept my preview catalina. Have another I will try at a different FL tomorrow.

shopped at 4 FL in VA today. Catalina did not print at any. Did 4 orders at first store and manager told clerk to give me $3 off order. She did on 3rd one but had already rang 1st 2 so told her I would go get some meat for remaining 9. Found hamburger orginally marked $16 for $9.99. Got that for $1.01
Went to 2nd Fl, saw manager 1st and asked if cats were printing and he said yes. Did not. Got 4 chickens for $2. Went to 3rd, only did 1 as not good store and I was right. Will call catalina on that 1. Went to 4th, did 1. Credited extra coupon so evened out. I did have my preview cat with me and that is probably why I got help.

I dont know the exact deal for the dog food, but I read some of these posts yesterday and remembered that I had two of the $3/5 qs left. When I went to food lion tonight to get my last free milk, I decided to get me 10 free cans of dog food and I received a $1 oyno print out. This was at FL in Gaston County, NC. Not much of a mm, but good surprise since I wasnt expecting it. Everyone was posting about buying large qtys and I didnt have but 2 qs.
