Surprise Catalina Deal


Thanks to Heather, one of my readers, I was able to take advantage of the awesome Catalina deal at Albertson's this week!  If you have checkout out the Albertson's list for this week, you will notice that Betty Crocker fruit snacks are part of a General Mills promotion.  If you buy 4 boxes, you will receive $3 off instantly at checkout.  Then use your coupons found in SEVERAL locations: GeneralMills-1/3, GroupA printables, GroupB printables, BettyCrocker.com, and General Mills printables.
(Don't forget to print all the printables twice from your computer)

Here's the BEST part!  If you buy 5 boxes of snacks in a single transaction, you will ALSO receive a catalina for $3.50 off your next shopping trip!!!  So, let's say I bought 15 boxes of fruit snacks in 3 different transactions, used a bunch of coupons, and got all my catalinas, here's how the price breaks down:

15 Boxes of Fruit Snacks = $30
General Mills Promos earned instantly = $9
Coupons = $5.70
3 GM Catalinas earned = $10.50
Total = $4.80!! or .32 per box!!!!

Another note, these transactions will "roll" where you can use one catalina on your follow-up transaction, and still earn another catalina = "rolling".  (*sing along: rolling, ba ba, rolling, ba ba, rolling down the river*)

  1. Yes this was a good one and I have quite the story to go with it but will save that for a phone call sometime in the future. Needless to say the checker and the ten people waiting in line behind both registers I was at were very upset. I just walded out whistleing with my 29 boxes of fruit snacks, 6 boxes of cereal , and a bag of cheese all for the grand total of $36, and I still have one catalina left over. I love this kind of shopping.

  2. Vons is also having a GM promotion with fruit snacks. Would this work there as well?

  5. Hey Jen, do you know on the Quaker sale this week, I know it says limit 5, but is that limit forever or is that per transaction? I stocked up on these coupons and even purchased coupons on ebay. I am set to buy 70 boxes of granola bars BUT if I can only buy 5 that is going to be sad, sad, sad.
