A&P/SuperFresh ~ Catalina: A&P ~ week of 5/8 Bonus Bucks

[katytibbs]

Got a teaser today, there will bonus bucks next week. One of them will be Kraft Mac & Cheese.

Yeah I got the same teaser and it mentions that the bonus bucks is going to last six weeks.

New to A&P cherry picking here I went this am and bought 80 Breyer's Yo Crunch in 5 orders of 16 each with 4 .50/1 Qs on each order. Each order spit out a $3 Bonus Bucks coupon! I had no idea about the Bonus Bucks.. they are NOT in the ad, and I hadn't heard of the program, so this makes the yogurt a moneymaker! They expire 5/23.

Now please tell me more about these Bonus Bucks... can I use them all in one order if the order after Qs totals $15 or more? Does A&P have a policy like Wags where the number of Qs cannot outnumber the number of items purchased... ie if I buy 15 items at $2 each and have 15 Qs for $1 off each, can I still use the $15 in Bonus Bucks to pay the balance or do I need "fillers" to make the number of items equal or exceed the number of Qs plus Bonus Bucks Qs?

THANKS!

p.s. BTW, that first bakery aisle in the store is deadly. OMG, the scent nearly did me in, and then I saw the focaccia bread... sigh. Then I remembered I might have to go out in public in a bathing suit this summer..

The Breyers is part of the Bonus Bucks Acosta deal this week- buy $15 and get $3 oyno. A&P generally goes by regular shelf prices, not sale prices for the toal $ you have to purchase so I'm guessing the yogurts are regularly 99 cents/each. Nice! But, seriously, I do NOT need more yogurt right now...but I will have to do a moneymaking deal.

In answer to your questions- I have always been able to use several oyno cats in one transaction. I'm petty sure it's not like Wags with # of qs having to equal or be less than # of products- just did it the other day for double dollars with qs for every item and oyno cats from Poland Spring and Ziploc.

Oh, and Donna, I guarantee you if they do triple coupons or double dollars AND the Bonus Bucks at the same time, you will become a more frequent A&P shopper- that is the BEST! It's happened before with triples and BBs at the same time, so here's hoping especially since Bonus Bucks are going on for 6 weeks!

Can I be a PEST? Is there a place to see a list of all the Bonus Bucks in one place or is a surprise sort of thing? Also, do tell about these "double dollars"... I haven't heard a peep on that one.

I shop SR for EDLP and because mine also takes very expired Qs. I cherry pick Acme and Wags... maybe CVS in a great week. A&P is really out of my way, but now that gas is staying around $2 gal here, I may just add A&P to my cherry picking list, especially since they have the self checkouts. I have noticed that while A&P does have some really nice quality on fresh produce and a tempting bakery, the everyday prices are a little crazy for my area.

The list of the bonus Bucks, to my experience does not exist, except for all the posts there. if i am wrong, please correct me. it is in every week's circular. i particularly like these because they are include things that normally don't get coupons. in my case it is chocolate double stuff oreos.
"double dollars" ended yesterday (one week only). this was a first time for me and it was a blast! think of super doubles at Kmart with 5 $1 Q limit per transaction. most stores will not allow back to back transactions. some do.
Self checkouts are nice, but only one of my stores has it and they watch it worse than the regular checkout. in that store i never do self checkout.
My A&P also has very hight prices, but cherry picking there is a pleasure.

I would checkout the Superfresh forums for deals at A&P too. It appears it is practically the same circular specials and catalina deals. When they have triples, so does A&P. It appears Pathmark, waldbaums, superfresh and A&P are linked together somehow because the monthly books are good at all of those places. But I know that A&P and pathmark sales are different.

Yeah you have to watch those SCO lanes. Some places have hawks. I swear I think they get a kick out of it. But other places are very easy.

I decided to try the Kelloggs deal and I got a surprise. I bought 11 Poptarts and 1 Raisin Bran (total at regular prices $31.xx) and got two free star trek movie tickets and the $7 off!

HI!
Can I bother you to explain this one to me?

I see in the ad that breyers is 10 for $4, so .40 each.
16 x .40 = 6.4.
6.4 - 2 in coupons (.50/4) = 4.4
total = 4.4, get $3

I don't see how this is moneymaker, or even free. I am thinking I missing something. Sorry, but can you look at your receipt and let me know? Thanks!!!!!!!
