Shaws 11/6 - 11/12 ~ CAT DEAL ~ Buy $30 get $15 Unilever/GM - Page 11

Thanks for the info. on the cottonelle wipes. I have 2 unopened containers that I'll check for coupons.

All the coupons I ordered came yesterday, so I had fun last night! I did a triple run with DH and 3yo in tow. Ended up spending $20 OOP (all due to them!), but I was able to get 12 Ragu, 6 Viva, 6 Breyers, Bugles, Chex Mix, and a couple odds and ends.

Even better was Borden's Cheese slices on markdown for $1/pkg. I bought about 10 of those. Some were the higher end flavors like Jalapeno and bacon flavored (not sure how this will be, but we'll try it). We go through cheese like crazy! Not part of the CAT, but still a great deal. This was on Park Ave, Worc.

Did another quick run to Auburn, MA store this morning, and they had plenty of broth, so I got 6 of those. Got another 5 Breyers, some bread crumbs, a cake mix and frosting. Even after adding eggs and juice, I still made about $6.50 on the double scenario. I think I spent about $62 PSP, too.

Totally stocking up on everything now that we have our new freezer in the basement!

Anyone try DOVE soap yet?

Total spent oop= 8.48 with the $15 cat back.

I need to run and grap more progresso soups on the way home today. Really hate that I'm traveling rest of the week. I would love to stock up on more paper towels.

Question though: Can you use cats to earn cats? I would love to use some tonight to pay for the soups especially since next week isn't as good.

glad you had a good trip. Yes you can use your catalinas earned on one order to pay for your next. If you get a cashier that thinks otherwise, have them read it. It says on your NEXT shopping order and does not restrict the same promo.

was this a dairy markdown with special tags or is it something being clearanced out? There are $1/2 insert coupons out on the borden cheese so that would rock if all stores had this

It was being clearanced out; however, I did get some a few weeks back at a different store (Webster Sq.). So, check the clearance sections. You should be able to use those coupons, too. The use-by date was Mar 2010, so it's not close to going bad.

did Woonsocket today (checked out right before noon) - no problems got my Cats ...

I got:

2 Green Giant canned corn ($3.00) - $1.98
2 Progresso Broth ($5.38) - $2.98
2 Cottonelle Flush.Wipes ($5.58) - $3.98
8 Scott Choose a Size PT ($16.72) - $7.92

PSP $30.68
Sale Price $16.86 (less $5.00 in q's and $1 in Cats) = $10.86 Earn $15 in Cats

only about 3 PTs left on shelf - lots of broth left. HTH !

on another note: i think people are buying the SCOTT moist wipes (not on sale / not part of deal) cuz there is a $1 blinkie right in front of em and they would count towards the SCOTT rebate (along with the PT's and TP) ... HTH !!!

I bought ten of the creamy natural yesterday and it worked for me :)

Warning to those that shop in Derry, NH. I went there today and the cashier told me they were not printing the cats anymore (the light was on on the cat machine and my cats did not print, all product I had purchased in other stores and it all worked plus I didn't give her my card until the end and my PSP was $61.xx). She had to call the manager and he gave me a $15 gift card (I was supposed to get $30 in cats). That store has always been strict with couponers so I wasn't surprised, I wasn't happy either but not surprised.

Ok .. I have decided that I will not do another CAT deal at the Groton, MA Shaws again. This is the 2nd time in the past month that the CAT machines didn't print my CATS ..

I am waiting for $32 from the last time and now I will need to wait again for the $16.50 from today ..

SO irritating ..:hectic1::hectic1:

I would def call catalina marketing. It will show that you were over $60 even in sale prices and no catalina printed and they will send them to you.
