This deal is still on this week, minus the bag! I think it expires 4/30.
3 @ .99/ea, get $3 Catalina back. (Net cost is 15 cents for tax for 3.)
The re-usable bag is no longer free though.

Ryan P says
Also wanted to note…I think the reason SOME stores are offering 99 cent bulbs are because the prices are subsidized by PPL. I saw a tag near the bulbs indicating that PPL was paying for some of the bulb costs.
I suspect if you’re not in a GIANT served by PPL Electric, then you will pay $1.99. Just a guess!

Ryan, ha good to know, WOULD Have never guessed.
Ryan P says
Thanks for the deal, Shannon!
Last day to do this deal! Just wanted to share that the GIANT I visited in central PA wouldn’t let me “Roll” the coupon on my next, since the $3 catalina clearly states 1 coupon per visit. I’m sure the scanner would have taken it fine, but I will play by the rules :)
For those with CVS, hope you got your ‘free’ (after ECB) GreenTags. You can attach them to your Free GIANT reusable bag, and get $1 for every 4 times they scan it.
Jen says
Worked tonight- bought 2 and got 2 $2 cats in each transaction! So $2 MM! + a free bag! I rolled a $2 cat back into each one and bought 1 banana (average 15-25c ea) to cover the penny that was overage.
Thanks!
anthony says
This deal works in Central Pa.. I tried it about 10 times and it has worked every time.. Also there is a Rembrant Toothpaste cat that you can get. If you have 2 Toothpaste at $6.29 you can use x2 $3.00 coupons from the rembrant site and then you will get a cat for $4.00 –> $2.58, plus if you roll this with the GE lights it makes it even sweeter!!
Ashley says
How many cat.’s can you use on 1 transaction? For example, when I am done buying lightbulbs and I have several $3 off. Will I need to do seperate transactions for each $3 off cat.? This is my first time couponing and working with cat.’s and I’m totally addicted to the lightbulb and giant bag deal! I’ve been to Giant 2 times a day, stocking up! It’s amazing!! I’ll soon be like Kendra with 90 bulbs lol
Shannon says
you can use more than one.
michelle says
There is also a Ge lightbulb coupon for 1.00 off in the April All You issue…it’s a manufacturer coupon…but says to redeem at Wal Mart. It went through ok with my order
Jeremy says
Is the Catalina deal for Splenda working at Giant?
Shannon says
Jeremy it is
$3.99 – $3.00 coupon
so free after cats.
Allison says
There is also a $3/1 coupon for Splenda that just came out recently. So, I bought 2 of the boxes of packets and used 2 of the $3 coupons and got the $3 catalina.
kendra says
fogot to mention my totals:
spent $4.50 oop
saved $360.00
left store with $90 in cats
:)
kendra says
well now i’m the owner of 90 lightbulbs…and $90 in catalina’s that were a money maker in all my transactions!!!
i bought 2 at a time, each time getting 2, $2 cats…making $1 on each lightbulb. my plan is to use my $ made and stock up on meats, to fill our freezer!:)
***fyi, i did this at 2 different giants, 25 transactions at 1 store, 20 at the other***
is anyone else going crazy with this, like i am???
***please say i’m not alone in this “madness”:)***
Andrea says
Kendra you just made my day! haha I thought I was a little crazy for buying 12 today…now that I know I get 2 $2 cats I will be going back. Husband says we need more light bulbs. He doesn’t even know that I’ll be making $2 on each order. This couldn’t come at a better time since I’m running out of grocery money for the month. Did you use the self check out?
Andrea says
I did this once just to see if I got this cat at my Giant too and I did. I noticed on the cat, though, that it says one coupon per purchase per transaction so I’m wondering if we’ll be able to use them all on an order. I’m going to check it out tomorrow with the Kraft deal and see if I can use more than one.
Shannon says
ah Andrea that verbiage is on them. hmm then it is one per transaction.
Andrea says
I’m pretty sure it was. I’ll have to check the exact wording in the morning… or not. I just went to check it now (if I didn’t, I’d be up at 4am again wondering what the coupon said). Says “Non discountable items excluded. Not valid with any other offer. Limit one coupon per transaction. No change given on purchases less than $2.00. No cash value. Limit one coupon per purchase. Can not be used on the purchase of gift cards. Limit one coupon per store per visit.”
Maria says
Does your Giant allow you to use more than 1 cat in the same transaction? Mine states “Limit one coupon per store per visit” but they do allow me to do additional transactions – so I usually just do two at time.
Joy says
Martins in Martinsburg WV has them for $1.99. I did get the free tote and the $3 catalina at checkout. Still a good deal!
Sarah says
Thanks for posting this deal :) im going to check it out at the Hazleton PA store tomorrow
joy says
Is this working at the Martins stores as well?
Josh says
Ok, here’s a good story on the light bulbs.
I went in and grabbed 9 light bulbs, told the lady at the checkout I wanted 3 separate transactions. She said that I can just do it in one transaction because it had worked for another lady earlier in the day. Being the nice guy that I am, I said ok, but of course I only received 1 $3 catalina (knew that would happen).
Anyways, I went to customer service, they went to credit 6 of them back, and as they credited the 6, I received my second $3 catalina. Also, I got back $9 some dollars in cash for the credit of the 6 light bulbs, which I questioned but her and her manager said it was correct.
They rerang the 6 light bulbs in 2 transactions and I ended up getting my 3rd and 4th $3 Catalinas. Pretty crazy!
So to recap, I got my 9 light bulbs and 4 $3 catalinas (though I should have only gotten 3) PLUS I got an extra $3 and change in cash! So it started out bad but worked out in the end.
Shannon says
lol thats funny that the cats printed then!
Andrea says
Oh boy so can we roll this coupon? And, if I look on couponnetwork.com and see that it says “save $x in future savings” then that is a catalina that will print out at my store rather than a coupon that I can print at my printer? Hmmm…I always wondered about that!
Shannon says
Andrea.. right that is the cat
Andrea says
My pregnant brain can’t handle couponing anymore. I was up at 4:30am to pee and for some reason this lightbulb thing popped into my head. I was up for an hour trying to figure out if I’d be able to roll the cat. lol Thanks Shannon!
Shannon says
Andrea, I am cracking up over here.
Andrea says
Well, at least I could provide you with some entertainment =) Would have made for a better story if I’d have run to Giant at 5am to try it…seriously, I can see being preggo and thinking about food but this light bulb thing is ridiculous.
Loni says
Anyone know when the coupon matchups for this week are going to be available??
Shannon says
Loni,
Skipping matchups this week. The site server change took up much of my time this week. Somethings got to give. :)
Loni says
Totally understand…thanks for all you do anyways…I’ve told a lot of people about this site. You’ve been a tremendous help for me personally. With 2 little ones, it’s hard to get the legwork done before I do the shopping. Thank you again!!!
Shannon says
Thanks for understanding Loni. I promise we will be back on track next week. I do have some deals I am going to post to look out for before 11 today.
Beth says
The light in our entry way just went out so I’m hoping my store is one of the “select stores” with the light bulbs on sale!
Kathy says
how do you get the free bag? do you buy it along with your bulbs and it comes off as free or is a coupon printed to buy it later?
Shannon says
Kathy it is advertised in the circular, so you have to just buy it with it.
Bonnie says
Shannon,
You need a thanks button under your posts so I don’t forget to give you thanks for all of the awesome deals you post. Love your site!!!!!
Shannon says
Lol Bonnie, thanks for all your contributions!
Ashley says
Awesome! Thanks Shannon! :)
Jeremy says
My ad says Buy 2 get a free reusable bag. Is the catalina unadvertised? What is everyone elses ad saying?
Shannon says
jeremy,
you have to buy 3 to get the cat. so buy 3 and the bag comes along with the deal.
Jeremy says
No go for me on the cat. Bought 3 bulbs tonight and got my free bag but no catalina printed out. The store I went to was Bloomsburg, PA
Shannon says
Jeremy,
Its listed right here.. couponnetwork.com… its definitely a good cat. Giant is listed as participating.
Jeremy says
hmmm what should I do?
Shannon says
Jeremy,
Contact Catalina marketing. They will send you the cat. I will get you the contact info tomorrow am.

Jeremy says
Awesome thank you very much. Do the cat machines run out of paper by chance? Knowing my luck it did..lol
Shannon says
Yep, they sure do. They also get jammed. Tip – make sure the green light is on before you checkout. If it is blinking or red, theres a problem.
Jeremy says
Do you have the contact info for Catalina regarding my GE bulb issue at Giant? Thanks
Jeremy says
Shannon,
Contacted Catalina Marketing and they are sending me the $3 coupon that did not print out at my store
Shannon says
Sorry, was on my list. Glad you found the info.
Josh says
Are there any other good catalina’s printing out that we can roll these with? I can definitely use some free light bulbs!
Bonnie says
The Splenda cat can be used to get this started, but after the first transaction, you can just roll the GE cats. I did this tonight and using the $3 cat it will cost you 15 cents each time.
Felise says
Our Giant in Carlisle PA has this deal that I stumbled upon for the light bulbs…
I bought two of the smallest wattage cfl bulbs, the 13 watt ones, and a giant reusable bag. My total was $2.10 and after I paid it printed out TWO $2 catalinas for me. To be sure, I tried it again and the same thing happened! I added more bulbs to do 6 in one transaction and got a single $3 catalina. So of course, went back to try the two 13 watt bulbs and bag, and again, got 2 of the $2 catalinas. A $2 money maker every time :)
Beth says
Thanks for mentioning this, I found that I got 2 $2 coupons every time I bought 2 as well! Makes a great deal even better!
Steve says
Only got 1 $2 Cat today with my purchase. Still nearly free for 2 bulbs and a bag. Any idea why the second cat was printing?
Shannon says
Steve,
No idea why.. guess it is over now.
