Reverse Matchups, April 10

For a complete list, go HERE. For new readers, reverse matchups are just my brain spitting out what I see when I flip thru a coupon insert. It came as a result of a few people saying to me “I dunno, I look through the coupons and I just don’t see anything I’d want.”

Acme ad-$1 catalina offer, April 8-15

Ok, here’s the deal. In the middle of the ad, it says that you will receive “$1 on your next shopping order” if you purchase any of the items listed below. I have no idea how this will work, this is new to us Acme veterans. If I buy ten items, will I get ten $1 catalinas, or one $10 catalina? Who knows. It also says that we can redeem as many as we want, I’m not so trusting. There have been other catalina offers, and the week after the deal, I’ve been hit with the “you can only redeem two of those at a time” that cashiers sometimes pull out of their butts. If I have to do my weekly shopping trip in two weeks in $2 increments, then this deal is not really worth it to me. I’d love to offer to be the guinea pig, but I do have plans for Fri/Sat/Sun. So if someone else tries it, please post on the fb wall or on a comment here. Here is the list of items with some matchups. As always, check your e-savings.

Acme-$1 catalina offer

I’m looking at my ad and still trying to digest it. Dozens of items are offering a $1 “off your next purchase” when you buy them. I see lots of useful items and some great deals. But I need to digest it–I mean, if I buy 30 items, do I really need to wait for 30 $1 catalinas to print out? And what if the cashiers go to the “Only can redeem 2 per transaction” rule when I try to redeem them?

This week at Acme, just keeps getting better!

Don’t forget to check your e-savings! In addition to the $1 printables I posted the other day for Marie Callender & Healthy Choice, it’s showing up on e-savings too. I got the $1 off of Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers. My friend Chris got $1.25 off of the Marie Callender. Combine that with the $1 printables, and that is what we couponers call a moneymaker! I don’t know if you Healthy Choice thing is the $1.25 one or the $2.25 one, but for free or a moneymaker, I’ll try it.
