Overlaping Catalina Deals = Money Maker!

Pinching Your Pennies posted a few great ways to take advantage of the overlapping Catalina deals!! These are awesome!!

Buy: (7) 25.4 oz bottles of Dove Shampoo/Conditioner @ $4.99 each = $34.93
Use 7 $1/1 coupons from the 6/7 or 8/2 Redplum inserts = - $7.00
Use 3 doublers - $3.00
Total out of pocket: $24.93
Then $27 in OYNSO coupons will print out! = make $4!!

OR

Buy: (10) 500 ct Q-tips @ $3.00 each = $30
Use 10 $.30/1 coupons from the 5/17 or 8/2 Redplum inserts = -$3.00
Total out of pocket: $27.00
Then $27 in OYNSO coupons will print out!

Is anyone else having problems getting the coupons on coupon.com to appear? Everything else shows up but the coupons.

Tamra said...

On teh coupon bar or my links?

MKB said...

I get the side stuff but I don't see the coupons. It just says my coupons are loading and it may take a bit. They never load. It doesn't matter if I click on a link or if I go there myself I can't get the coupons I'm wondering if it is a Mac problem?

I wish there was a site to report Catalina deals. I only have 4 coupons for Dove, but wonder if that would be enough for something on Catalina to print?

In the past I have gotten printouts that break down the details (like Kraft Mac & Cheese, buy 3 get $1 off, Buy 6 get $2 off, etc for specific dates). Wish we could share that info here, Catalina deals are kind of like flying blind unless they are in the Albertsons ad.

I agree with Tami. It's all such a guessing game most of the time with Catalinas. I mixed the Dove deal with the qtips (which I heard works on another blog), but only got the $12 to print.....the additional $15 never came.
It would be so nice to get the actual words for the catalina deals. Does the discount queen girls have an official site they go to.....or is it just word of mouth from someone who stumbled upon it?

Pinching your pennies has a great list under the state forums.

They have a lot of catalina deals people report, and you can add more if you find more.

But then there are nice people who tell other nice people like me about deals they just found while wandering the isles of the store.

You can call 1-888-8coupons (the catalina company and ask specific details if you mention the deal. SOmetimes you get a ton of info out of them sometimes not.

The dove/q-tip cat was advertised in last wednesday ad (in the pull-out). It's buy $10 get $3, buy $20 get $7 and buy $30 get $12. So with 4 dove coupons you could buy 4products for $19.96, and 2 Q tips for a total of $25.96 and get the $27 OYNSO to print. (assuming you have 2 Q tip coupons).The cats should technically be printing. I would try another store if you are having bad luck. Hope that helps!!
