thks all mines worked but just wondering how long are the catalinas printing for the smart ones since im goin to giants tomorrow..just wanna kno if its gonna work since its the rd thks :)
Shannon says
hey Diana, I think this was last weeks deals.
jeria says
I purchased 5 cream cheese today @ martins in Harrisonburg va but didn’t receive a Catalina. Customer Service refunded my money but said they haven’t heard of any specials on this product. Has anyone else tried this in Harrisonburg Va?
Tiziana says
Here in Williamsburg VA I got the catalina for cream cheese
Caroline says
I’m in Harrisonburg and I did it on Sunday and got the $3 and $4 back. I made sure to buy the tubs of cream cheese that were on sale for $1.99, not the bricks even though I use bricks more. I was thinking about going back Saturday to see if it would work again. Did any other catalinas print out? Sometimes the machines are out of paper and the cashier doesn’t know.
stephanie says
Went to the Limerick Giant last night to do the clorok, phila chream cheese/kraft double dip.
The cream cheese was a no go. I bought 5 at full price (2.19) and only got the kraft $4 cat & the $2.50 clorox cat. Is the deal regional?
I wanted to do the kc masterpiece and am not sure if that will work.
Tracie says
Stephanie,
I feel for ya…I was at my Gilbertsville Giant last night and didn’t get my $10.00 freezer catalina….manager said it was because I had coupons for everything.I was able to get my $10.00 reward after explaing how the deal was supposed to work….all of my Math was correct…who knows!
Did the Clorox deal and Bertolli deal earlier in the week.
Our Giant had slim pickins on the Totinos,veggies,and pretzels.
Melissa says
I tried the cream cheese deal twice. When I bought the low-fat bricks I only got the Kraft cat. When I got the regular bricks I got both.
Cindy says
Love it! I did the cream cheese, clorox & bertolli deals today and all went through with no problems. I did 3 different transactions so I could roll my savings & max my OOP. Hoping to get back & do the bertolli again tomorrow.
Shannon says
OH CINDY I FORGOT TO DO THE BERTOLLI DEALS! GAH!
amy peca says
Halle freakin luyah!!! my deals worked also!! did the cream cheese, clorox, 2 bertolli get $3 off meat, and 2 post cereal get $2 in free bananas!! YOUR website is the reason I am able to stay sane each week. We really were out of so much this week–but because of you girls I have some great meal starters now!!! THanks!!!
Shannon says
Thanks Amy! :) I am glad you were able to keep ahead.
Holly says
I tried Huggies Slip on at Giant and it didn’t give me the $7 cat. I went to customer service and she refunded because they didn’t have hardly anything marked on the shelves.
Shannon says
Holly I think they are having major issues with that cat!
Stefanie says
I tried the Glad deal, bought trash bags (6.29), 2 press and seals (5.38) and I even bought charcoal (9.49, didn’t realize that would count towards it until I got home) and no catalina printed? any ideas what I did wrong?
Amy via Facebook says
catalinas are good towards anything in the store. I like to save them up and then use them towards meat and it usually works really well.
stephanie says
This is what I do as well.

2 questions on the Frozen food deals:
1- The ad shows Breyers ice cream (it’s the Reese’s kind in the bottom right of the picture), but I don’t see it listed with a sale price on the back. The front has it with the save 10%, but I’m wondering if it’s part of the spend $25, get $10 OYNO. Anyone been to the store to know if it’s included? Last year it was, but just b/c it’s in the picture, doesn’t mean anything!
2- I don’t remember seeing the disclaimer for the spend $75 in March, get 10% off your order before this week. Has the ad always said, “in a single transaction” or is this a change? I was hoping to do the back deal (spend $25, get $10 OYNO) three times to get $75, get 10% but can’t if it’s all in one transaction. Anyone try this? I thought my frozen food rewards were tracking on the bottom of my receipt but maybe they weren’t tracking, but rather just showing what I had spent on that one receipt.
Caroline says
I can’t help you on the Breyers because that wasn’t something I got yesterday when I did the frozen foods deal. I remember seeing it in store and it definitely had a tag below it but not sure if it was the get $10 oyno deal or the 10% off wyb $75. However, the frozen foods are definitely tracking up to $75. I think the ad must be a misprint. I had 15 dollars towards it from last week and earned another 25 yesterday to get up to 40. You can also check it at the kiosk when you first walk in the store. Scan your card to see if there are any good coupons, plus it will tell you your total towards the frozen foods deal and maybe your A+ rewards if you do that.
Jenny says
There was a tag right under the Breyers with the $10 oyno deal
linda says
Shannon,what size trash bags did you purchase?Saw a post at LRWC about a walgreens deal that the cat is printing there also, I just want to get more bang for my buck.
Shannon says
Linda,
Its a better deal at Giant. They are 80 count. I did the deal twice and paid $7.36 for 2 bbq sauce and 2 80 ct trashbags :)
Sarah via Facebook says
How do the catalina’s work? Are they good on specific products of for anything?
kate says
what are the smart ones that are on sale for $2?
Shannon says
Sorry Kate, your going to have to check the store, I didnt make a list .
kate says
ok thank you
Cathryn says
There was a coupon in my Redner’s ad today for $4 off $15 of Heinz products and appears to include Smart Ones products. It has the Redner’s name and logo on it but states “manufactures coupon” at top. Can I use this coupon at Giant on the smart ones deal?
Caroline says
I had a great trip to Martin’s today! I did three transactions to roll my catalinas and make my oop cost lower.
Trans 1:
2 Eggos, 2 WW satisfying selections, 2 Ellios pizzas, 2 Dole fruit, 1 Superfresh pretzel, 1 Cool Whip, 2 Totino’s pizza rolls
Total before coupons: $25.03
Total after coupons and $3 cat from last week: $15.78
Received $10 catalina (but no Dole catalina for those who were hoping for it)
Trans 2:
5 Phil. cream cheese tubs, 4 Clorox wipes, 1 Formula 409
Total after coupons and catalina: $4.97
Received $3, $4, $2.50 catalinas
Trans 3:
grapes, marked down English muffins, Johnsonville sausage, MM o.j., Chicken in a Bisket crackers (for church this week or I would have saved another $3!)
Total after coupons and catalinas: $2.53
Without coupons and sales all that would have cost $85.63…I saved 73%!
anthony b says
What size trash bags did you get? How many in a box?
Shannon says
The Kitchen Bags 13 gallon – 80 bags.
Grace says
Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
So happy all the catalinas are working :) I did the Clorox deal and Philly Cream Cheese. Will be doing the Frozen one and more cream cheese later this week after I get my coupons together.
amy peca says
why was the yakisoba free? Trying to figure this out…
Shannon says
They were $.50 each and I had a $1.00/2 :)
amy peca says
thanks–knew i clipped the q but didnt see them on sale in the ad!
thanks
Tracie says
What is the Yakisoba deal?Are there coupons?
amy peca says
there was a coupon is sundays paper for $1.00 off of 2. My giant had them for 50 cents each
Tiziana says
MY ad says buy any 5 of these and save 20c per gallon…
will I still received the catalina or not??
Thanks
Caroline says
Are you in the Richmond area? I shop at Martin’s in Harrisonburg. We had the $3 off instantly and I got the $2.50 catalina too. I think that’s something completely different than the gas or instant savings deals. Try it and see, you can always return the stuff!
Tiziana says
Thanks for replying…I’m in Williamsburg
Tiziana says
Yes I got my 20cents off of gas and 2.50$ catalina …thanks
Dani H says
Other cat deals:
Buy 2 Yoplait Trix yogurts get 1.50 cat (and most have a .55c/2 peelie on them)
Buy 2 OreIda Easy Fries get 1.00 cat
Kim says
GREAT JOB!!!
Betty via Facebook says
or maybe buy6 and use 3-1.00/2 wipes coupons.
Betty via Facebook says
should have posted down here.Lol so can i just use 2-1.00/2 for the clorox wipes bc the .50/1 is for the 82 oz liquid bleach.
Morghan via Facebook says
How much was it??? I’m glad u got to do one transaction:)
ShaNat says
When does the Kraft & Phil Cream Cheese Catalina end? Does it matter if you get flavored Cream Cheese and will the Cat roll?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Shannon says
It ends on the 16th and it keeps rollin rollin rollin :) Yep I got the flavored.
Linda says
I can’t seem to find it in the ad…what triggers the instant savings o the clorox deal?
FortheMommas says
Hi Linda! Its Amanda from FTM. When you buy 5 it triggers the instant savings. In my ad it is on the very back back, about mid way down. Hope this helps.
Linda says
It does! Thank you! My brain was turning to mush with all these deals this week. Now I’m going to check the ad!
Tiziana says
I have Giant /MArtins here in Virginia and the ad says buy 5 of these items and saved 20cents per gallon..will I still get the catalina of 2.50???
Shannon says
Sure can!
Sue says
I did the chorox deal at giant. Is there a limit on it. Can I go back and do it again?
FortheMommas says
Hi Sue! Its Amanda from FTM. There is no limit on the Clorox deal.
Shannon via Facebook says
sweet… love that!!!!!
via Facebook says
Shannon Jarrard Owens – one transaction.
Shannon via Facebook says
did you do this all in one transaction or all different transactions
