Stop & Shop Catalina Deal

I kind of came up with this transaction on the fly but I think it worked out pretty well! All items are part of Stop & Shop's Spend $20, get $10 off your next order (aka a "catalina" deal)



Catalina items:
  • 3 - Green Giant Steamers (@ 3/$5) used $1/1 = $4.00 ($5 towards deal)
  • 3 - Yoplait Yoplus (@ $2.00 ea) used three $1/1 MFCs = $3.00 ($6 towards deal)
  • 3 - Betty Crocker Frostings (@ 3/$5.00) used $1/2 MFC = $4.00 ($5 towards deal)
  • 2 - Betty Crocker Cake Mixes (@ $1.00 ea) used $.50/2 IP doubled (wyb cake and frosting, making one free) = $1.00 ($2 towards deal)
  • 1 - Gold Emblem Flour (@ $2.00) used $.75/1 IP doubled = $.50 ($2 towards deal)
Grand total: $12.50, received $10 BACK! :) Essentially all of this cost me $2.50!

I also bought:
  • 5 - McCormick Spices (@ $1.00 ea) used five $1/1 MFCs = FREE
  • 1 - Yoplait @ $.50 (used free item coupon, cashier took off $.76 max) = FREE (-$.26)
  • 1 - Goodlife Cat Food (@ $5.49) used $2/1 = $3.49 (I was dangerously low!)
  • 2 - Dole Fruit Bowls (@ $2 ea) used $.75/2 mfc doubled = $2.50 ($1.25 ea)
  • 2 - Healthy Choice Meals (@ $2 ea) used $1.25/2 IP = $2.75 ($1.37 ea)
  • 1 - Can of Goya White Beans = $.75
  • 2 - Yoplait Greek Yogurts (@ $1 ea) used B1G1F (-$1.00) and $.30/1 IP doubled = $.40 for both
  • 1 - Package of S&S Brand Feta Cheese= $1.80
  • 1 - Dozen S&S Eggs (used home mailer free item coupon!!!) = FREE
  • Used 5% off total order coupon (home mailer) = -$1.38
Total for everything (including catalina items) = $22.21
Received $10 catalina!

Total remaining in March 2010 budget: $116.72

3 gave me some sugar:

Did you know that the pre-sale prices count towards the catalina? Like before the sale prices AND coupons? So rather than the cake mixes counting $1 each they count $1.49 each. I just did this yesterday and my regular price total was $20.76, sale prices around $12, then coupons on top of that.

I was just going to say what Jennifer said! Yesterday I did two transactions and got(don't laugh!) 10 bags flour (2.99 PreSalePrice), 1 box cinnamon chex (3 something PSP), 1 box betty crocker muffin mix, (also 3 something PSP) and 2 GG Steamers (PSP $6) for a grand total of $12.84, with a $10 catalina leftover which I used to purchase a 20 lb bag of rice, 2 1 lb bags of black beans, and 4 packages of hot dogs for a mere additional $1.90.
