Coupons can get confusing! It helps to write everything down, either on your ad or on some scratch paper. I write on the back of junk mail------the item, the sale price (the shelf price too, if it's for one of the "buy $XX" sales) and the coupon amounts. That way I can see exactly how many of what item I need to buy, and I can easily add up to what the total SHOULD be when I check out

Thanks Luckymama, I didn't know the coupons were 50/2, I saw 50/1 and thought to limit it doesn't make sense, but, of course now it does. Thanks again

Hi

I didn't see this mentioned but on page 7, Birds Eye Steamfresh meals are $6.99. I had a save $2.00 on any 1 (but it expired 2/14/09:sad:) but the database lists that there is a $1.50 on one blinkie out there, and there is also a coupon from 2/8 SS for one free bag of steamfresh veggies wyb 1 steamfresh meals for two. I think this can be combined because the one coupon is for the veggies, the other for the meal?

So you would be paying
$5.49 for 1 meal for two and 1 frozen veggie (or if your store takes expired $4.99 for both)

Need some big help from you pro's. This is the second week in a row that no crt/onyo/cat printed and last time we went through it with cs and they handled it. This week we just returned everything, because I couldn't deal with the mess again. This is the Pathmark on RTE 59 in Nanuet, NY. If anybody can explain what the problem is I'd be greatful. I did as follows. I don't have a scanner to provide receipt...... Also, cat machine was on because I got a 1.00 crt for the Kellogg fiber plus.


Yoohoo(reg 10.99) x 2 x 7.99= 15.98 (sale price above needed 15.00) no 4.00 cat printed.

Sargento(reg 3.69) x 4 x 2.00 =8.00
Yocrunch (reg.1.09) x 1 x.60= .60

This part came to 15.85 at reg price and after coupons 2/1.00 6.60 sale price and no 5.00 cat. Also did this 2nd time on different receipt and no cat.

Kelloggs deal did 4 cereal and 4 fiber bars and the shelf total came to 33.32...Final sale price after coupons was I believe 18.00. I had 4 .75 that double to 6.00 and 2 2/1.50 cereal coupons that come to 3.00.

I believe that they work on shelf prices because last week 13 dannon produced the cat. One of the CS says that because we used coupons, but, the Yoohoo proves that wrong because there was no Yoohoo coupons. Paid this week with a 3.00 Dannon cat and a 3.00 ent/GWB cat. from last week. Any ideas???? What the heck is going on with this store???
Thanks

That is really weird, I don't know why it didn't work for you. I went today and I got 8 cereals and used 4- $1.50 coupons on them, my cat printed just fine.

ETA details from trip today:

(4) Frosted Flakes Gold (5.29 orig) 4 * 1.88
(2) Frosted Flakes (4.19 orig) 2*1.88
(2) Crispix (4.49 orig) 2 *1.88
(1) PM brand pretzels $1.39 (big bag was on sale for .60 off)
(2) AC BBQ sauce 2*1.19 (.59 off)
(2) lipton sides 2 *1.00
(1) Nestle water 24 pk : 2.98
(1) Strohman Dutch county bread: 1.79

Total: $25.58
- (4) $1.50/2 coupons for cereal. The ones that included frosted flakes said save $1.50/2 on any and then listed the cereals -> so for frosted flakes I took it to read $1.50/2 for any Frosted flakes. I say this because my last two $1.50/2 coupons beeped but the cashier put them through because the Frosted Flakes gold were still frosted flakes (and were in bigger boxes )
- (1) .50/2 lipton sides, doubled to $1.00
Total coupons: $7.00,

Total OOP: $18.58, savings $38.27 or 67% I also got the $7.00 cat.

I'm in Delaware county, PA incase anyone is around here trying to figure out the shelf prices

What day did you go? I don't go the first few days of the sale because sometimes the Cat deals aren't programmed correctly, or sometimes the updates don't load correctly in 1 or more of the stores. You obviously found out that CS people don't always have correct information, or even any at all. It gets really good when they argue over how to correct a situation, even after you explain to them the easiest *correct* way to fix it (I used to work in CS at Pathmark)

Anyway- I would try a different store if there is one nearby, otherwise wait to go until after the weekend if you can. They usually have the kinks worked out or a solution for them by then

Thanks, I went Sunday!!! I don't know what to make of it. The CS lady ( beyond nice) said she hasn't had a cat problem in a long time.

A friend of mine, who is just learning to do this, just tried the Kelloggs and it didn't work - I'll see if I can find out what she got. It wasn't the machine because another deal she did worked fine.

I wish I had known this when I went today: the Sargento Artisan blends are included in the sale and catalina deal. There is a coupon for $1/2 ( was right next to the Sargento $1/2 reg. cheese coupons in the insert). This would have been helpful to me since I am out of the reg cheese coupons and I was still doing the deal since it is still a great price for grated cheese. HTH. Also, I don't know if Bistro blends are included, my store doesn't stock them.

Just found out tonight that the Mango Guava flavor of Pop Tarts doesn't work

At least I assume that was it- I bought 4 Corn Flakes, 2 Frosted Flakes, 1 Poptart, total before card 30.03 (I thought I was being so smart! It was marked down so discontinued. So I did know I was taking a risk)

[barbliny]

Just in case anyone else is a last minute nelly like I am with these sales ...

I wanted to report back that the Keebler fudge shop cookies (at least the grasshoppers and deluxe choc covered grahams) work for the Kellogg's bonus bucks.

Purchased ...
2 Frosted Flakes $2.00 each - 2 $1.00 peelies
1 Corn Flakes $2.00 - $1.00 peelie
3 Keebler grasshoppers $2.09 each - 3 $1.00 IPs
1 Keebler deluxe graham $2.09 - $1.00 IP
--------------
Reg prices of $30.5x, Sale prices of $14.27, oop of $7.27, got back $7 OYNO
