Another Glade Deal at Stop and Shop!

I tried, it said "coupon not accepted". By the way, the new glade catalinas say "off any item unless law prohibits" instead of "off your next order", so with the new ones they can't say "one per order" anymore.

Also, some of my $2 cats (previous ones, oyno) are not scanning at all (print quality?) , so had to use Keypad, enter item code.

At my store these coupons always give us a hard time scanning in! Usually need to enter them manually! They didnt have any of these yesterday so I will go there today to see if any where put out last night! I will have to ask my third shift manager to hold some for me because every time we have this deal I can never get them! He is good about it!

I got a bunch of these tonight (the cashier scanned the Glade too many times and it printed out one for each purchase -- and she let me keep them). The $4 needed intervention, probably because I didn't have a $4+ item in my order.

They entered the Catalina as cash, which actually isn't as good a deal in Mass. because tax is calculated after ALL coupons so it cost me an extra 20 cents (more than I ever pay in OOP now days) -- but I used a Shaws bag, meaning they had to pay me a nickle for it.

Umm... did the $4 catalina end on me?

I tried the same lavender (I think) one for $3.99 and nothing printed...

It used to come out immediately... when I scanned it, and nothing came out, I knew there was a problem...

I was at the SCO, so I didnt put it on the moving table, and it took it off automatically...

I checked the sign and the deal goes through 10/30/08 so it should still be working. I would return the one you bought today and try again. Sometimes they don't print out (out of paper, maybe?). This happened to my husband when he tried the Powerade deal a couple weeks ago. We just returned them and tried again and it worked. Good luck! I'm so happy to get "free" groceries all month long. Now if only they would re-stock! My Stop and Shop has been out of these all week! Thankfully I had enough $4 cats from last week to buy most of my week's groceries. What a blessing this deal is! (When it works properly!)

We went last night in hopes that they had more, but they were out. However we were able to use all of our $4.00 cats in one deal. We used sco and the "kid" was very nice about it. I hope they get more soon!

Can we turn these catalinas into gift cards? I am having a hard time spending 4.00 every time.

I have 5 of these q's, Should I pay $25 OOP and use them all at once (and get $40 in oyno cats) or break it up into 5 transactions which will look something like this.
2 glade- pay 4.99- collect 2 $4 cats
2 glade and 1 $4-5 item pay $5-6 collect 2 cats (repeat 3 more times)

I think it works out more time effecient the first way since I will be shopping with 4 kids tommarow. It will end up costing the same regardless right? I have no more OYNO cats, I used them up on powerade, noodles and pasta sauce the last time.

Lindalou- It really depends on who is checking you out. The computer will accept a $4 cat towards a gift card, but often cashiers will not. I did this once and got four $10 gift cards, used four $4 cats and only spent $6 on each gift card ($24 total). I then used those gift cards to buy 4 more gift cards using the same system. I had a friendly cashier who didn't mind. Then came the day from hell where I had everyone and their mother giving me dirty looks, different stories, etc and wouldn't let me buy gift cards with them. You can try it, but it's really YMMV.

You most likely will need cashier intervention because the computer counts the bogo coupon as 2 coupons, so if you try to also use a $4 cat it won't let you. A nice cashier will probably push them through for you. If I were you (shopping with kids, I know how it is!) I would just spend the money out of pocket, and use your cats for the future. They're usually good for 2 weeks so you will have time to spend them. I have had the most success going through self-checkout and scanning 2 glades, then a bogo coupon, 2 glades and a bogo coupon, etc etc. This way the computer doesn't mess up at all and I don't get dirty looks from cashiers who are anti-coupon :)

Good luck! Sadly my Stop and Shop has been out of the warmers all week! Thank goodness the deal goes until 10/30 so I still have a chance to get more "free" groceries!!!

*** Tip of the day to safely use $4 cats without needing cashier intervention. Just buy items that are $4 or more and go through self-checkout. Scan an item, then a $4 cat, then an item, then a $4 cat, etc. This way the computer doesn't go nuts. I found a lot of things you can buy for $4 and more:
~Deli items
~Produce
~Milk/Dairy
~Trash Bags
~Drink Mixes
~Large Juices
~Gift/seasonal items
~Etc!

I had a great shopping trip the other day with no hassles. I used 10 $4 cats and got 10 items for a little more than $4 each. I only paid a few dollars out of pocket without any hassles.

Happy shopping!
