I wanted to make a quick trip to the store and check out all the mega event deals that were printing catalinas. This is a great way to keep your OOP (out of pocket) cost down. When you shop and get catalinas, and then use them to pay for other items you keep your cost down.
With these 3 transactions you will be only $12.65 OOP and will leave with a $2.50 catalina for your next trip, or you could start the transactions over again and use the $2.50 cat on the 1st one.
This is my husband helping me check over my transactions 🙂

For the mandarine oranges and for the planters pnuts- can you use more than one IP coupon in one transaction on the same item? I was kind of confused on their coupon policy. I printed numerous mand oranges and planters pnuts, was wanting to know if I could use 5 mand orange IP and 5 planters pnuts IP in the same transaction or do I have to do multiple transactions?
Love all your breakdowns and match up. Thanks for the help!!
Yes, but just in case check your coupon policy for your region. We are allowed to use basically as many IP as we want. Yes you should be able to use those. You might as well just walk up and give it a shot and see what they say. But should not be a problem….
I thought the coupon policy was the same? I broke down all my transactions to do only one IP per item, haha.. Took me forreeveer.. So it’ll def help if I can use up to 5 on the same item.
This was my confusion on this link:

Internet Coupon Restrictions/PAH Coupons:
o “Free item” Internet coupons can be accepted if all purchase criteria is met.
o Only one Internet coupon per item will be accepted.
o In some instances, Internet coupons may be limited to two (2) coupons per Customer in a single day.
I’m confused on: Only one Internet coupon per item will be accepted.
Is that an Internet printed coupon? I’m probably making this a lot harder than I should be, lol
Oh no you are good! So they are saying only 1 coupon per item basically. Well, that is how I am reading it anyway… But I can see where they would say 1 IP only of each kind. 🙁 Now, I am confused! Ok so I would just be confident and walk in and pick a nice cashier and just attempt to use everything. They can only tell you no from there, just make sure you have a quick backup plan. It is really confusing that way.
HA! Yea, def confused myself last night. I was like hmmm. Oh gosh, let me break it all down into numerous transactions… I’ll just have to do it as you said, walk in and work it! Haha!
Thanks again for your confirmation and info. I appreciate it!
Nice hauls by the way!!
I am so glad to hear that!
Is the Secret coupons no longer available? I can’t find them .
When did the catalina deal start for the Dole Mandarin oranges? I bought mine yesterday and didn’t receive one.
I went this morning to grocery shop. I did the Campbells condensed soup, Dole, Kleenex, Pepperidge Farm, Grands, Scrubbing Bubbles, and Secret and didn’t get one single Catalina back. It disturbed me a bit.
Can you send me a picture of your receipt and I can see what is up? send to mylitter@mac.com – also did you ask or talk to customer service in your store?
I will send it and no. I went at 3:39 am so there wasn’t even regular lanes open. I went thru self check out. I sent claims to the catalina help desk.
