A Thrifty Mom

Thanks to Adria for passing this along,

I just wanted to let you know that I was buying Crystal Light at Albertson’s just now and there was a Catalina for it!

Starting 3/1-3/21on Canisters or On-The-Go Boxes

Buy 3 get back a $2 catalina good on your next shopping trip
Buy 4 get back a $3 catalina good on your next shopping trip
Buy 5 ( or more)  get back a $4 catalina good on your next shopping trip.

Also, the On-The-Go Boxes are on sale 2/$4, the tubs were 2/$6 (I think…) AND at my Albertson’s, there were two displays in the front of the store with pads of coupons: either $1.00 off 2 tubs or $0.50 off 2 On-The-Go Boxes.  These CAN be doubled!  It looks like on 4 boxes they could turn out to be $1.00 each or $.50 each (with doubles).

There is a new catalina starting on 1/25 good till 2/21 ( looks like this catalina is printing at Albertsons, Fred Meyer and Kroger stores)

Purchase any Old El Paso Taco Shells, Dinner Kits, Seasoning, Refried Beans, or Heat & Serve Side Dishes Between 1/25 and 2/21

• buy 3 get $1 coupon for beef or chicken on your next purchase,
• buy 6 get $3 coupon for beef or chicken on your next purchase.

The Refried Beans are part of the Spend $20 save $5 instantly through Tuesday priced at $1 each. So on Monday and Tuesday you can spend $6 on Refried Beans and $14 on something else, instantly save $5 and get a $3 meat coupon.Do not forget the Ground Beef 85% lean is on sale for only $1.88 a lb…that would be a great thing to use your beef catalina on.

There is also this printable coupon for .50 cents off Old El Paso Heat and Serve Sides that will go along great with this catalina deal.

Please note that I do not know what regions this is printing in for sure, let me know if it works for you and what area you live in.

Update*** Few readers have tried this in Idaho and it is not printing….has anyone In Idaho had luck with this?

Thanks to Karisse for passing this along,

There is also a Nabisco Catalina going on at Albertsons. I surprisingly learned this yesterday when I decided to use a couple $1/2 coupons for the 100 calorie packs (I got them from a back to school nabisco coupon book in the mail). The catalina works like this:
Buy 3 & get $1.00
Buy 4 & get $2.00
Buy 5 & get $3.00

I bought 4 boxes of 100 calorie packs ($2 each), used 2 $1/off 2 boxes and 2 doublers making them $1 box. With the $2 catalina, it was like getting them at $0.50 a box.

I hadn’t seen a post about this, and I thought it would go nicely with the crystal light promo.

Thanks to Joanne for passing this along!

I found I Can’t believe It’s Not Butter Sticks for $1.99 at Albertsons. When you buy two of them a catalina for $2 prints out. I bought 6 of them and it gave me three $2 catalinas.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter $1.99

• use the .50 cents off any coupon from the 11/15 red plum
• or use the $1.00 off sticks coupon from the 11/15 red plum
• final price .99 cents -$1.49

With the catalina it makes the sticks FREE and the others only .49 cents a VERY THRIFTY DEAL!

There’s also a bricks coupon that I was able to print 5-6 times. ( thanks Martha)

Thanks to Lana for this *** Just got back from Albertsons. It’s only working on the sticks. Nothing printed out when I bought the tubs. Also, the catalina says “Thank you from I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! stick.”

Prego Pasta Sauce 23.75- 26 oz $1.49 first 4

• use the .75 cents off 2 coupon from the 10/4 smart source
• Final price $1.12 each

Thanks to Mishelle for letting me know that when she bought 4 jars a $1.00 catalina printed.  So my local store manager tested it for me and when you buy 3 or more a $1 catalina prints.  I do not know how long this will print, if you know the end date please let me know.

SO  in order to use the .75 cents off 2 coupon and get the $1 catalina you will need to buy 4

• 4 = $5.96
• Use the two .75 cents off coupons will take off $1.50
• Total will be $4.46 plus tax ( makes them $1.12 each)
• You will then get a $1.00 catalina  ( making them .87 cents each)

Or you can buy 3

• 3 = $4.47
• Use one .75 cents off coupon
• Total will be  $3.72 plus tax ( making them $1.24 each)
• You will then get a $1.00 catalina back ( making them .91 cents each)

2 Great catalina offers that match up great with the sale going on at Albertsons this week.

*PILLSBURY Crescents, Cookies, Sweet Rolls, Grands! Biscuits, Grands! Cinnamon Rolls, Pie Crusts, Dinner Rolls, Loaves, Breadsticksor Pizza Crust (price varies from ($1.67 to $2.50)

• Buy 3, Get $2 catalina
• Buy 4, Get $2.50 catalina
• Buy 5 (or more), Get $3 catalina

With coupons this will make these as low as .35-.55 cents each

*BETTY CROCKER Fruit Shapes, Fruit By The Foot, Fruit Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups or Fruit Roll Up Stickerz (priced $2.50 each) have acatalina deal too:

• Buy 3 and Save $1.50 catalina
• Buy 4 and Save $2.00 catalina
• Buy 5 (or more) and Save $3.50 catalina

with coupons this will make these .30-.55 cents a box!!!!!

It is VERY important to remember that it is when you buy 5 or MORE you will only get one catalina ….so it is best to only buy 5 per transaction to get the best deal.  Now you do have to buy in groups of $25 to get the $10 catalina as well….so you will have to plan your trip out.  I will give you some deal scenarios later

Thanks to Tom for this deal

I just purchased:

6 – Fruit gushers
6 – cinnamon rolls

Sale price $25.00 – $10.00(current promo) = $15.00

- $3.00 (3- $1.00 off 2 cinnamon rolls cpns) = $9.00
- $3.00 (pillsbury cat) = $6.00
- $3.50 (General mill cat on gushers) = $2.50 + tax!!!!!!

Thanks to Cheryl for passing this along!

I got FREE baby food yesterday! I was at Albertsons and here’s what happened… I bought a couple of clearanced Gerber 2nd foods jars and got a catalina for $1 off 3 Gerber 2nd foods. Went back to the baby food and grabbed 2 of the 55 cent jars and 1 of the plastic box 2 packs (which are on for 90 cents). Used a doubler with my catalina coupon & just paid 6 cents tax AND another $1 off 3 catalina came out. I did this exact thing several times. (I did grab a 59 cent jar in one of my sets and my total was  11 cents that time, so that set was just ALMOST free, ha!)  I’m not sure how long this catalina will be printing, but I’m gonna head back tomorrow and get some more if it keeps rolling.
