My Oh My! Apparently, I’m the one that goofed. I bought the Doles Mixed Berries which are excluded from the deal. Always read the fine print! I hate when I do stuff like that. Don’t you?
Tonya,
I have done that so much
Don’t beat yourself up though. It happens to all of us.
Free Purex is fabulous! Even though I’m happy about that, I had a squabble at my Giant in New Cumberland, PA. I careful planned for the catalina sale. And when my first transaction was over, only a 5 dollar coupon printed, I was expecting a 10 dollar!. Anyhow, my before savings total was 37.77. bonuscard savings were 10.71 and they doubled one of my coupons for .50. So, the total spent that I thought they were considering was 26.56. Then with manufacturer coupons totalling 4.50 the total OOP was 22.06. Well, I tried to argue my point but the register supervisor said that your total OOP has to be 25.00 to get the $10. Was this the case for anyone else? If not, should I write to the corporate office?
I went to Giant last night and got 4 free bottles of purex and 4 jars of Ragu for $3.00.
Wow. Awesome! Seems almost too easy to be true! Thanks for the scoop.
So do you leave the store and come back for the 2nd transaction or do you just separate them on the conveyor belt and let the cashier know that you’ll have 2 transactions? Just want to make sure I don’t embarrass myself!!
Jennifer,
Nope, I don’t leave the store, just say hey I am doing 2 transactions and smile really big.
Thank you for the great ideas on how to spend my $10 Catalina!!!! Here is the scenario I came up with since my kids love the uncrustables and bagel bites.
3 Bagel Bites – $9.00
1 On Cor Entree – 2.00
2 Dole Frozen Fruits – 5.00
4 Uncrustables – 9.16
Total – 25.16
Coupons
(3) $1/1 Bagel Bite Printables
(1) .30 On Cor Entree
(1) 1.50/2 Dole Frozen Fruit
(4) $1/1 Uncrustables Printables
Total – 16.28
Received $10.00 Catalina
