Prior to holding the coupon class that I held last month, I emailed the Giant moderator on hotcouponworld. She said that catalina deals at Giant work on shelf prices, not sale prices. If that is true, there are some possible freebies next week.

Deal is: Spend $25, get $10 OR spend $15, get $5; for these items:

Stouffer’s red box-$2, 2/6 inserts or genuardi’s booklet
Freschetta naturally rising crust pizza-$5, $1 printable
Klondike bars-$3
Aunt Jemima french toast-$2
Dove ice cream bars or miniatures-$3.29
Mccain smilies-$2.50. $1 off ones in 2/27, rebate
Ittibitz cups-$1
New York Garlic toast-$2, look for tearpads or peelies
Breyers ice cream-$2.50
Hot/Lean pockets-$2
birds eye voila-$3, 3/6 inserts, genuardi’s booklets
waichai ferry or macaroni grill entrees-$5.99, $1.50 printable, 3/6 inserts
Ellios-2.50
Dole frozen strawberries-2.79, 3/6 inserts (shows a $.75/one, will double!)
Mrs T’s pierogies-$2 ($1 coupons from 2/27)
smuckers snackn waffles-$2, possible tearpads

Isn’t the shelf price for Breyers about $6.29? That’s what it is at Acme. Therefore four of them would take you to $25, but only cost $10, get $10 back!

That is what I would do to get started, if you don’t have any coupons. Then just roll that $10 catalina until you run out of room in your freezer! There are lots of higher value coupons to go with this deal, so get to your spending threshold using shelf prices, then pay sale price minus coupons.

Other things to mention:

A&H laundry detergent is bogo, I posted a $1.25 printable recently.

GM cereals are 3 for $5, good price, then use coupons

Hatfield bacon is bogo, use two coupons; this is our favorite bacon;
Printables for Hatfield; lots of their items on sale this week

Perdue nuggets-$3

Herr’s stuff-3 for $7, use $1 printable

Hmmm, I may actually go to Giant next week for my regular weekly trip. They seem to have overall the best deals and prices.

Preview HERE of what’s coming, here are my reverse matchups:

Regional coupon inserts & value differences are to be expected!

(x) before coupon = multiple of same coupon
ETS = excludes trial sizes

FREE Pasta wyb (2) Ragu pasta sauces up to $1.25 (4/10)-I would use this at Superfresh this week, or hang on to it for a possible other Unilever deal that may come up. Has a short exp date though, so if you need pasta & sauce, SF is your best bet for it.

Clairol Natural Instincts any hair color product $1/1 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons
Clairol Natural Instincts any hair color product $5/2 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons
Clairol is always on sale for 5.99 and 6.99 at the pharmacies. There’s also a P&G deal at CVS starting 3/13, so you may want to use it there. It’s also an RR deal at Walgreen’s, starting 3/13.

Covergirl Queen Collection any product $1/1 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons
Covergirl any product $1/1 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons
Covergirl Simply Ageless any product $5/2 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons
CG is another P&G product, so I would keep an eye out for P&G deals.  It’s also always on sale at Kmart, CVS and Walgreens for either bogo or 40% off or Register Rewards…..just remember, for bogo sales you can use a coupon on each item. And for all those stores, you can stack it with a store coupon.
Crest any toothpaste 4.0oz. or more, or liquid gel $0.50/1 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons; Acme & Superfresh will double this to $1, and they frequently put crest on sale for $1.

Crest 3D White or 2-hr Express or Professional Effects Whitestrips $10/1 (4/30) Limit 4 like Coupons; hang on to it; it was not too long ago that these were a steal at CVS

If you are able to get your Sunday papers on Saturday, you may want to take these coupons to Kmart. They are part of the catalina deals I posted yesterday. Or, it is on a RR deal at Walgreen’s starting 3/13.
Dial any Nutriskin Lotion $1/1 (4/30)
Dial any body washes $1/2 (4/30)
Dial any bar pack or liquid hand soap $0.35/1 (4/30)

Superfresh has some catalina deals this week:

Get $3 back instantly when you buy any 7 quaker items listed; quaker cereals and aunt jemima are 1.88, oatmeal, chewy, syrup or quaker squares are 2.50; Annoying that we can’t play the shelf/sale price game, since it’s by unit count, not dollar threshold.

Ongoing $10 back when you spend $75 on frozen food.

Plus their 5% savings certificates that you earn each time you spend $300.

Kelloggs cereals are 3 for 9 (a terrible price!) and you get a gallon of milk wyb 3; the coupons that are out right now are only $1 off 3 (last Sunday) so you’ll pay 3 for 8, plus a gallon of milk; take into consideration that you may have to buy milk anyway at 3.50/gallon…..4.50 for 3 boxes of cereal is not fantastic by any means, but certainly much better than the shelf/regular price. So get it if you need it.

Overall, a pretty dull week at both SF and Acme! There aren’t even coupons out for many of these items!
