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.
