Then I divided that $1.50 by 18 (because there were 18 pouches and my end price was $.09 each. <BR/><BR/>I hope this makes more sense to everyone.

My totals for OOP after the coupon match-ups and catalina keep coming back different than yours and I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. For example, the Better Crocker Cookie Pouches are 1.67 - .75 (coupon) making it .92 which is what you have. I then figure that by getting the 15.00 catalina that it would then take an additional 50% off which would eventually make my OOP .46. Where are you getting the .09 from? I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong and any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks for your great list of deals and love your blog :)Jaclynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246031674862143793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754140497105716855.post-21392055443852935852008-11-07T21:52:00.000-08:002008-11-07T21:52:00.000-08:00Great info Thanks!

You can roll your catalinas but make sure they scan them otherwise it messes up your total if they hand key them in and you won't earn your next $15.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09987759259610401722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754140497105716855.post-85246235192963615652008-11-07T12:31:00.000-08:002008-11-07T12:31:00.000-08:00I called my local Albertsons in Orlando and they h...I called my local Albertsons in Orlando and they had not even heard about the deal.

(presale) price making this major free food and a money maker with coupons. Great coupons just came out at B.C. and Pillsbury that can be used for this sale. We were also able to do 2 offers at once. Meaning if I spent $60.00 presale price they gave me $30.00 in CATS. As an example I bought 14 cake mixes @ 1.00 each. The presale price was $2.19. So the 14 qualified for the $15.00 cats. So I made a dollar. That is without any coupons. Just try it first to make sure that it is working that way at Albertsons.

So the register can "register" that you have gotten up to the $30 limit. Then you can use the coupons to get your out of pocket down and then still get the $15 Catalina. I hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>Royal Family: to answer your question, you will buy $30 worth of products and then use your coupons to get your out of pocket down and then get a $15 catalina for your next visit. My () numbers are the amount that it will look like you spent when you have spent your $15 catalina. Make sense. It is kindof like when you spend $3 out of pocket for something but you are going to be getting a $2 rebate so really you only spent $1 on the item. I hope this makes sense.<BR/><BR/>Erin<BR/>I Am FrugalErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167310554809993719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754140497105716855.post-1497076133072145112008-11-04T14:02:00.000-08:002008-11-04T14:02:00.000-08:00Thanks!

The sale here started last Thursday the 30th. and I have already been there 3 times and have $15.00 to spend on my next trip. However I have used up all my coupons and they do not take any internet coupons over .99 cents... bummer huh? However I was able to spend approx. 19.00 each trip AFTER coupons, and get 15.00 back...and shelves are pretty well stocked with the items they offered.<BR/><BR/>I love to shop this way :o)Toystoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928924389624926308noreply@blogger.com
