Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

My guess is their cat machine wasn't working or out of paper. Did the $7 cat print for spending over $35 ? I'm guessing NO and that's your proof. I'd go back to the store. Just know when they press total the coupon should print right then. If it doesn't don't give them your coupons until they figure out why.

Pull Ups $9.99
3 Huggies size 3 @ $9.99 each
TOTAL: $53.23

Used
$0.40 for Windex = $0.80
$1 for Lil Swimmers = $2
$0.75 for Wipes = $1.50
$2 for Pull Ups = $4
3 $1.50 for Huggies diapers = $9.00

Tax was $2.90, so my total OOP was $38.84 (sucko!).

Then, the $14 Catalina didn't print out! The managers said it was because I had to spend $50 AFTER coupons, but you all are coming up with scenarios that were so low OOP, that the managers had to be incorrect. HELP!

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

Arg! I didn't get a cat. I asked if their "coupon machine" was working before I started to check out. Tell me if I went wrong somewhere:
Depends 4 x 13.99
Total before q's = 55.96
- $2/2 q's x 2
TOTAL: 47.96

I think I should at least have gotten a $7 cat.

Can you go back and request a fix? Does that work?

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

If the cat doesn't print once subtotal is hit ~ PROBLEM!!!

I went yesterday and had 2 different transactions because 1 I was using a $5/$25 and the other I was using a $5 e-mail printable. I was only doubling 10 coupons total since I had lots of Bic Soleil (clearance $2.50, coupon is $3), free mighty dog, free Glade impressions.

Anyway, I asked if it had paper yada, yada...but when she subtotaled it didn't print and I knew it ment trouble. I only completed that transaction and headed to CS. The lady in line behind me was there before the manager was! She bought a bunch of Depends expecting $7. The odd thing was CS wasn't printing them and register 3 wasn't but register 2 was! I sorta thought if there was paper and a green light it was all the same.

1 Listerine Mouthwash
1 3 Pack Sparkle Papertowels
1 Angel Soft 12 Double Roll Toilet Paper
3 Travel Size Huggies Wipes
4 Glade Lasting Impressions
2 Huggies Diapers

AC and $14 Cat: $8.10

Plus I got another $14 cat...not too bad for 16 items that included two packs of diapers.

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

i found some awesome booklets for kc products, in a display at a kmart by me. it had alot of 2/1, there were 2/1 for any kotex products 28 ct or larger, i used them for free fillers as the liners 48-64 ct were 3.49, so i got some cheap scott tp and diapers with the coupons i had and the coupons from the booklets and the cat deal this week.

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

Just a quick heads-up for people....might want to check before you go to KMart to make sure their Catalina machines are back on-line. I went today and did the Huggies deal. I spent $50 but no Catalina printed at all. First they tried to tell me I didn't buy the right thing (regular ol' Huggies), then they told me it was because I used coupons. Finally after some poking around the store manager discovered that all KMart Catalina machines were down. I asked him how they were going to honor the deal and he said they weren't without the Catalina machine. I told him I was going to have to return my $50 worth of merchandise without it (nicely) so he gave me a $14 gift card. I went to a different store later to check on something and the Catalinas were still down. They said they were hoping to get them working today but no guarantees. Just thought I might save someone a drive!

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

Went to Kmart today & did the $14 Cat deal. Here was my scenario:

3 packs of Jumbo Huggies @ $10.49
4 Huggies wipes tubs, 64 ct. @ $2.49
2 Huggies wipes tubs, 76 ct. @ $2.89
1 Edge shave gel @ $1.99
1 Shout laundry stain remover @ $1.94

Total: $51.14

Coupons Used:
$5/$50 Kmart coupon
$1/1 Edge
(3) $1/1 Huggies wipes
(2) $1/1 Huggies bath & body
$1.25/1 Huggies bath & body
(3) $2/1 Huggies IP
$1.94 (FREE) Shout

Total OOP: $17.71(+tax)
After the $14 OYNO CAT, my total is $3.71+ $1.97 tax = $5.68! I'm super happy. =)

NOTE: The Shout wasn't marked down visibly in any way, and was supposed to be $2.59 I believe. It rang up $1.94.

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

I'll share my story just for kicks

My sis and I went Sunday, I did three separate transactions, one with clothes using a $10 off $50 womens clothing Q they sent me, the second doing the Huggies deal to get the $14 cat to use on my final grocery purchase. The cashier gave me "the look" when I told her when I needed to pay for the clothes and Huggies separate, my sis saw it to, the annoyed look.

For the Huggies deal I bought four Huggies ($9.99 ea.), three overnites with the $2Q and one regular with the $1.50Q, then four wipes tubs ($2.99 ea.) with the 75cQs. The cashier and I were busy making sure she hit the right products for each coupon to be linked to, that I didn't even look at the catalina machine. My sister ran to the bathroom, another cashier came up and chatted, then we finally finished the transaction and there was no catalina. She gave me the "because you used coupons" excuse. I still had one more transaction I was worried about so I just figured I'd look at the receipt and figure it out in the car.

So when both my sis and I were done checking out and went to the car, I told her I didn't get my catalina and she said it was hanging on the machine when she walked by to go to the bathroom! WTH! And I realized that even if I had used coupons, my total was still over $30, so I should have at least gotten a $2-3 catalina for spending over $20. I was irate and turned right back around to go inside, as the cashier who helped me walked out the door for a break or something.

A manager was called, everyone looked for the catalina on the floor and in garbage cans, we tried to find the other associate who had walked up to talk to my cashier, since she was the only person who might have taken it, but she said she hadn't seen it. Finally the management agreed to refund my money and ring everything up again just to see what would happen. I don't know why, but they gave me $43.xx back, though I only paid $30.xx, so I took that cash with me to pay for the new purchase of the same stuff.

This new transaction took forever, the same cashier had to come back and do it on the same register. I thought if that machine isn't working, we will have to spend half an hour at another machine, good grief. The cashier was punching in all the UPC codes from my original receipt, including the coupon codes, so you can imagine how long it took to punch in like 10 digits CORRECTLY so many times, it was stupid. I swore nothing was going to happen, the manager said it wouldn't cuz I used coupons, so did the cashier, but angels sang when that $14 cat shot out, my goodness I was relieved. Then the manager wanted to know who it was that walked up and talked to my cashier during the original transaction, I didn't know positively cuz these were all people I had never seen before, the cashier wouldn't say the woman's name and I think the woman denied seeing it when they asked her. So either the woman didn't want to admit to grabbing it (thinking a previous customer had earned it) and throwing it away, or she actually stole it. What a mess. Thank God my sister saw that thing hanging there or I never would have had the nerve to go back and argue. Then, the total was the same as it was the first time, so only $30.xx, but they had given me a refund of $43.xx. I tried to give the extra money back to the manager cuz it wasn't fair for me to make money on the deal, but she said I deserved it for all the time I spent there getting it straightened out and there really was no way to get the computer system to take it back. Good grief. I'll go and spend it at another Kmart tomorrow so I don't feel guilty.

Default Re: K-Mart-$14 CAT scenarios

One of my cashiers wanted to put through the coupons after each item scanned through. I didn't see a problem with this until during my transaction a cat printed but it was for $3 but I was actually buying $50 worth of qualifying items. It took some explaining and some reticules looks but he did put through all my items and then my coupons and the CAT printed correctly. I think the machine was kind of tricked into thinking my transaction was over because the coupons were going through. Hope that helps someone.

Now my question. I thought Axe products were part of the CAT deal but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Maybe Im just thinking of the movie tickets last time but I sure did think they qualified. I know I also saw the items listed in an ad that was on HCW but now I cant find that either. They said if I could bring something in to show them, they would fix it somehow but I cant find anything. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Thumbs Down is Aquaphore on the list?

I am new at couponing, so I thought that I didn't get the catalina because it might have not been an item in the deal... well, I bought $53 onJUST huggies.

then I thought of paying my Aquaphor with the catalina... ugh!... I spent 50+ extra on aquaphor ... I had 2off coupons... and it was 15%...

Ugh!

Anyway... at least my Huggies would have counted! but no deal... I'll call...

I was there Sunday... I was the first person in the store. I went straight down the KOTEX aisle, and the 22 ct were gone! only the bigger packages were there....

I was so mad that they took them down for the doble week!:sad:
