*Please ignore what looks like a dead animal on my back deck…. my dog threw a temper tantrum last night because we didn’t take him with us and completely tore up his bed. 🙁
Ok so like normal, I was in Kroger when they opened this morning, only when I went to check out my debit card was NOT in my wallet. Awesome. I had to leave my groceries and go home. I knew I would be right back up and they wanted to suspend my transaction but I knew if they did that then my catalinas would not print. I had them just delete the transaction, give me my coupons back and then I would just have to ring everything back up. Seriously, not the start I wanted to my morning!

Do you have to buy 3 fantastic to get the $3 cat? Or, Do you have to buy 5??Sorry for the confusion 🙂
i thought i heard that safeway is the same as kroger, if that is true do you know if the sales will be the same? And the catalines? Thank you
Hey! No Safeway is totally different company then Kroger. Safeway and Randalls are the same.
Fred Meyer’s is the same as Krogers.
Does Campbell’s soup Catalina include cream of mushroom?
Why buy 5 fantastic sprays if all you need for catalina was 3 ?
Because I needed 5! 🙂
My kids school was asking for them…
Does’nt the reach tb coupon state 2 reach tb as 1 count ? Is this not for double packs ?
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I appreciate it so much!
Do you know if the catalinas will roll? Specifically the Reach and Scrubbing Bubbles ones? I’d like to stock up a little on these.
The Huggies coupons says Limit one coupon per purchase on product/quantity specified. Doesn’t that mean I can only use 1?
What it means it that you can only use 1 coupon per item. You couldn’t use 2 $3 coupons on 1 items. You can use as many coupons and you have products for.
Yea, Thanks!
Campbell’s kitchen has $1/4 q you can use on the cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup.
How many soups do you need to buy for the cat to print?
NOt printing for anything on mega event!
Oh darn!! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Is there a limit to how many catalinas will print out after one transaction?
Tiffany,
My Pillsbury offer that printed said the catalina was for Grands! and Grands Jr biscuits only, if that helps. Buy 3 get $1; buy 4 get $2; buy 5 get $3.
Question: if you know a catalina deal works at other Krogers but there’s no signage at yours and a catalina doesn’t print, is there anything you can do to get the catalina? Or is each Kroger thought of as its own entity?
Thanks for the update!
I know, that is what happened to me today. Call the catalina company and they can send you the catalina.
I’ve emailed me them before about a k-cup catalina that I did not receieve, and they’ve told me that the store I purchased the items from wouldn’t allow the catalina. Thus, they wouldn’t send me a catalina. Is contacting the catalina company and them sending you a catalina a sure thing? Do I need to call them instead of emailing them?
I’m just trying to figure this aspect of Kroger out.
I’ve e-mailed Catalina multiple times when something doesn’t print out. Every time they have sent the catalina right to me. 🙂
Did anyone have a problem with the reach catalina. i bought 3 toothbrushes but no catalina printed out. ask the cashier she said there is nothing they can do.
You needed to buy 4, that is why it didn’t print. Return the 3 you bought and buy 4 and the cats will print.
I thought the catalina would still print with 3…?
Buy 2 and receive $2.00 Catalina
Buy 3 and receive $3.00 Catalina
Buy 4 and receive $4.00 Catalina
Oh you are right, it should have. Hmmm, I am not sure. One way would be to try and test it by returning them and doing ti again. They maybe were out of paper or it was not turned on.
how did you find out about the catalinas? We have a smiths…which is kroger…they don’t always have the same events as kroger store.
Just wanted to let everyone know about a couple of coupons that work with this weeks sale:
Dove Men’s + Care Bodywash – $2.99 price w/ Mega Event, coupons.com has a coupon for 2.00 off (If you have a savings club membership you can also print one for $2.50 off). And if you buy 2, get a $2.00 catalina. So if you can print the $2.50 – and buy 2, it’s a $1.00 moneymaker. Of if you only get the $2.00 off, it’s a $0.02 moneymaker!! Yeah! (I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m on my way to the store now.. I’ll let you know how it works)
Also, coupons.com just released a new coupon for the Boulder chips – it’s for $1.00 off 1, makes them $0.49 each!!
I clicked on the Huggies coupon and I could not find it. Is there a specific zip code that I need to put in to find them?
