I was busy at Shaw’s yesterday! I took advantage of the General Mills sale once again and did three more transactions. How it works is if you buy $25 worth of participating GM items, you will get a $10 catalina coupon to use on your next purchase. The minimum purchase is supposed to be $25 after scanning all other coupons, but the catalina is triggered if your total hits $25 before coupons. I dipped below $25 after coupons 6 times now and I got the cat every time.
In case you are trying to copy scenarios, here is what I bought this time around to get the $10 catalinas:
Transaction 4 – I bought these items:
4 boxes Premium Brownie mix: $8
6 boxes Hamburger Helper: $6
8 boxes Betty Crocker potatoes: $10
I used these coupons:
(2) $1/2 brownies
(2) $1/3 Hamburger Helper
(4) $.50/2 potatoes (those doubled)
Total before coupons was $24.00 (I just realized that I made a boo boo on my scratch pad and this did not even reach $25 before coupons but I still got the catalina, so it must be triggered by shelf price, not sale price!)
Total after coupons was $16.00
I used my $10 cat from previous trip and paid only $6.00 and I got another $10 catalina for next time!
Transaction 5 – I bought these items:
3 boxes Betty Crocker cake mix: $4.50
3 tubs Betty Crocker frosting: $6
3 pouches Betty Crocker cookie mix: $6
6 boxes regular Betty Crocker brownie mix: $9
I used these coupons:
(3) $1/2 cake mix and frosting
(3) $.40/1 cookie mix (those doubled)
(3) $1/2 brownies
Total before coupons was $25.50
Total after coupons was $17.10
I used my $10 cat from previous trip and paid only $7.10 and I got another $10 catalina for next time!
Transaction 6 – I bought these items:
4 boxes Betty Crocker cake mix: $6
4 tubs Betty Crocker frosting: $8
1 pouch Betty Crocker cookie mix: $2
2 boxes Betty Crocker fruit snacks: $4
3 boxes Cheerios: $6
I used these coupons:
(4) $1/2 cake mix and frosting
(1) $.40/1 cookie mix (that doubled)
(1) $.60/2 fruit snacks
(3) $.50/1 Cheerios (those doubled)
Total before coupons was $26.00
Total after coupons was $17.00
I used my $10 cat from previous trip and paid only $7.00 and I got another $10 catalina for next time!
During these transactions, I also picked up
48 rolls of Charmin toilet paper (Hallelujah! The girl’s got TP!)
1 big jar Cains pickles
4 jars of Cains mayonnaise
7 tangerines
2 pounds potatoes
1 fresh eggplant
1 jar fig spread
My total for everything mentioned above before discounts and coupons was $163.11
I paid only $32.17 OOP for EVERYTHING above (including tax) and I still have a $10 catalina for next time!
Oh, I almost forgot, I grabbed 2 more bags of Frootee Ice so I can do the rebate again. That’s makes 5 bags for me so far. I plan on doing 10 total.
