In my experiences with Waldbaums which is a sister store to A&P the Bonus Bucks have always counted on the shelf price before coupons. This has worked especially well with things like a yogurt deal a while back with triples. Last week with the insert $1 doublers I did the following:

4 Blue Bunny ice creams (retail $5.XX) which were buy one get one free

Total before sale was over $20

Total after buy one get one free was $10.XX

Used 4 $1/1 printable Blue Bunny coupons which all doubled deducting $8 from the order and leaving me with a balance of $2.XX

And then I got the $5 off your next order coupon for spending $20 on Blue Bunny products.

I am sure others can give more insight.

TSUalum is correct. Cat delas are based on shelf prices.

I would agree that most of the time, the bonus bucks are based on shelf price. However, A&P management would argue that point and insist it is based on the sale price. I have found that some of the "newer" flavors or varieties are not always programmed to be part of the deal, thus creating a problem. If the shelves are stickered with the promotion information, which they don't seem to have been lately, I always go for the variety with the bonus bucks tag under it, trying to avoid getting burnt. I hope this helps.

I have been having fun doing this week's Pillsbury Spend $15 Get $5 OYNO Bonus Bucks deal at Waldbaums this week - works great with the triple coupons going on over there.

I can confirm that the following combinations all worked for me on regular shelf prices ...

2 Crisco Veg Oil - $5.39 Reg / $2.99 Sale
1 Crisco Canola Oil - $5.39 Reg / $2.99 Sale
-------------------------------------------
Reg Prices of $16.17 Sale Prices of $8.97 Before coupons

1 Crisco Veg Oil - $5.39 Reg / $2.99 Sale
4 Pillsbury Fudge Brownies $2.59 Reg / .99 Sale
---------------------------------------------
Reg Prices of $15.75 Sale Prices of $6.95 Before coupons

2 Pillsbury Choc Chip Swirl Quick Bread - $2.89 Reg / $1.67 Sale
1 Pillsbury Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread - $2.89 Reg / $1.67 Sale
2 Pillsbury Vanilla Funfetti Frosting - $2.29 Reg / $1.67 Sale
1 Pillsbury Creamy Vanilla Frosting - $2.29 Reg / $1.67 Sale
-------------------------------------------------------------
Reg Price of $15.54 Sale Prices of $10.00 Before coupons

All 3 times I received the $5 Bonus Bucks. All items purchased had matching insert coupons from this past weekend.

As always check the regular prices at your own store - they vary greatly from store to store (mine are usually on the higher side being on Long Island)

Two other scenarios that worked for me...

5 5lb Pillsbury all purpose flour shelf price $3.19 each
5*1.50= $7.50
got $5 catalina
net $2.50


also
1 Folgers $5.99 - shelf $10.49
2 Pillsbury Fudge brownies $1 each - shelf $2.49 each
paid $7.99 minus coffee coupon
got back $5 catalina


I'll be going back today for more deals!

Are you rolling the 5 Catalina onto your next order?

I have rolled catalinas successfully in the past, but here is what happened today...

I decided to purchase 6 Funfetti Pillsbury Brownie Mixes at $2.59 each and gave the cashier my previous catalina. I did not get a new catalina. I assumed it was because the Funfetti must not be programmed to work, but maybe it was because I used a catalina? I'm not sure now!

I never had a problem rolling Cats at A&P. I'd bet the house (well maybe the garage) that it was something else. Are funfetti listed in the ad or was there a sign underneath?

I am sure it was the funfetti that is not programmed..I have rolled a lot this week and once I tried that one and it did not work
