** REMINDER ** You really need to print the $.35 OFF any Cains Pickle Product coupon

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

A couple days ago I posted about a new coupon for 35¢ off any Cains pickle product.  I tested the coupon last night at Shaw’s to see if it would double, and it did (states not subject to doubling but starts with a 5 so it doubled nicely)!

I was able to pick up a big 32 oz jar of Cains Sweet Bread & Butter pickles that were on clearance for $1.50. After the coupon doubled, I paid only 80¢. The pickles are like the ones like in the photo, the Thick & Crunchy ones (I ate half the jar in one sitting, fished them out with my bare hands, too lazy to get a fork… so good)!  Check your Shaw’s to see if they are on clearance at your store. You might score some cheap pickles too (use a fork so your mother does not scold you).

Print a bunch of these rare pdf coupons (no print limit for pdf) because they don’t expire until 12/31. There are going to be tons of Cains pickle product sales between now and then.  I printed 100 coupons, yes 100 (and not one part of me feels the need to go to confession)!  When relish goes on sale, watch out because I’m there!

$.35/1 Cains Pickle Product

Just remember to use no more than four coupons at a time because Shaw’s will only double four like coupons in one transaction. And, in case you are new at this, when a coupon states one per purchase that means one per jar. You are allowed to buy four jars and use four coupons in one transaction. And when it says no other coupons can be used with this coupon, that only means you can’t use two manufacturer’s coupons on one jar. You are free to use all the coupons you want for your other items.

Of course, if your cashier studies the coupon and sees that it says not subject to doubling, then she/he has all the right in the world to enter it manually so it won’t double, and you can’t cry like I do or complain. At my awesome Sanford Shaw’s they pretty much just scan away without reading every coupon… just sayin’.

General Mills Catalina Deal at Shaw’s – Transactions 4, 5 & 6

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

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.

NEW COUPON: $.35/1 Cains Pickle Product – I am beyond excited about this!

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Last night I pulled the last jar of relish from my stockpile and put it in the refrigerator.  That made me so sad!  That relish was the first thing I ever bought with coupons at Shaw’s.  I got 4 jars for free in May and that was the beginning of my coupon career.

I never found another good deal on relish… until now!  There is a new pdf coupon for 35¢ off any Cains pickle product. We can print as many of these coupons as we want! Small jars of relish go on sale at Shaw’s for as low as 88¢ each. When the coupon doubles, we will score some super cheap relish! Of course, you can use this coupon for pickles too!

$.35/1 Cains Pickle Product – Expires 12/31 – We’ve got plenty of time to find the best deal!!! Print a bunch and bookmark the link in case you need more later. Note: the coupon states not subject to doubling, but it starts with a 5 so it should double at Shaw’s with no problems.

And don’t forget to print your Cains mayonnaise and Cains salad dressing coupons too! These are also pdf and don’t expire until 12/31/12… that’s over a year from now. I wonder if that was a mistake?  Who cares, just print!

16 boxes Green Giant frozen veggies

It’s time to use your Romano’s Macaroni Grill coupons at Shaw’s

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

I just realized that the Romano’s macaroni grill dinners are part of the General Mills deal at Shaw’s! If you buy $25 of participating GM products, you get a catalina for $10 to use next time. This makes for great savings!

With that said, did you print the Macaroni Grill coupons that I mentioned? If you did, you can pick up some cheap dinners this week at Shaw’s!  If you didn’t, you might still be able to print. Get the links to print the coupons here.

Here’s how it works…

The Romano’s Macaroni Grill dinners are on sale for $3.99.
Then get $1.50 off or $1.00 off depending on which coupon you have
You pay either $2.49 or $2.99
If you buy $25 worth of participating GM items, you get $10 back. Check the back of your Shaw’s flyer to see which items you can mix and match.

Note: it does state the $25 minimum purchase must be after coupons, but if you reach $25 in sale price (not shelf price) before coupons, you should get the cat. I got mine after dipping below $25… see here!

You can also follow what others are reporting on We Use Coupons. Go to their site, click on the forums link in the header, click on Shaw’s under the Grocery Stores category, scroll down and find the Shaw’s – Share your GM trips HERE post. You will see tons of scenarios for the GM deal and also reports if the catalina worked or not.

General Mills Catalina Deal at Shaw’s – Transactions 1 and 2

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

I ran over to Shaw’s today to pick up some of the goodies offered in the General Mills sale. The deal with that sale is that if you buy $25 worth of participating GM products, you get $10 back.  It states that the minimum needs to be met after coupons, but it usually works before coupons. It makes me nervous every time, but it worked twice for me today!

For my first GM transaction, I bought:
8 boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes
8 cans of Green Giant veggies
4 boxes of Lucky Charms
The total for just the GM items before coupons was $30 (sale price, not shelf price), and after coupons it was $18. I dipped below $25 and it spit out my $10 catalina!

For my second GM transaction, I bought:
8 boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes
16 boxes of Green Giant frozen veggies
The total for just the GM items before coupons was $26, and after coupons it was $15.60. I dipped below $25 and it spit out my $10 catalina!

So, at least at the Sanford Shaw’s, the catalina is triggered at the sale price total, not the total after coupons. As long as you reach $25 before coupons, you should be okay.

Here’s what I got in all…

4 big boxes Lucky Charms

16 Boxes Betty Crocker potatoes

16 boxes Green Giant frozen veggies

8 cans Green Giant veggies

4 Lunchables (I paid only 50¢ each in reduced deli with coupons)

1 king size loaf wheat bread ($1.20 in reduced bakery)

10 pound bag of potatoes (only $2 in reduced produce)

6 jars Cains mayonnaise (B1G1 FREE, price $4.89 for 1, use this coupon and get 2 for $3.89 or just $1.95 each!!!)

One bag of those popsicle things that my granddaughter is going to love when she visits!!! (on sale for 99¢ with $2 rebate, so I make a buck!)

Total before Shaw’s card and coupons: $145.36

After all coupons and after using one $10 catalina I paid $31.92 – this is NOT what I consider a great shopping trip since I only saved 78%, but it shows that you still can save a good chuck of money on stuff like vegetables, produce, and bread!

Oh, and I still have a $10 catalina to use next time!!! And I’ve got that $2 rebate coming to me! Not too shabby after all!

For those of you who have been following my posts, you know that I always print milk coupons… and you know why, right?  Because with milk coupons, I can get cheap or even FREE milk in the reduced dairy section at Shaw’s!

I see Smart Balance in the reduced section every now and then for as low as $1 for a half gallon.  With these coupons, the milk would be free!

If you can’t find these, try using zip code 90210 then click the Beverage link.

NEW COUPON: $.55/1 Classico Canned Tomato Product

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

There is a new coupon that just popped up and apparently this is for a NEW canned tomato product (I’m always on the hunt for anything tomato for my mother’s pasta)!  It says it’s available only at Walmart. I’m anxious to check it out!

$.55/1 Classico Canned Tomato Product

Note: I printed this and there is no restriction on size or type of product. So, look to see if they make small cans of tomato sauce or paste to maximize your savings! I will be going to Walmart later and will let you know what I find.  UPDATE:  All I could find were big cans of Classico and they were $1.78, so $1.23 after the coupon. I’m holding out to see if they come out with tomato sauce or paste :O)

And don’t forget to print out your RO*TEL coupon too! This one will double at Shaw’s!

$.20/1 can RO*TEL Tomato Sauce
