K-Mart Catalina Problems & Catalinas Explained


I wrote a few days ago about an unadvertised Post cereal freebie at Kmart this week, and a Glade Candle moneymaker going on as well.  Well, it looks like many of you have had alot of trouble finding the 2 oz Fragrance Collection candles which are supposedly $2.50, much less getting your catalina to print out.  (ARRGHH!)  The Post Cereal is trouble too, but just because many Kmart's don't carry that new Health Advantage kind on the coupon yet. (Booo)

So I just wanted to warn you guys not to make a special trip to Kmart just for these items, but to just keep an eye out for them if you happen to be there.  This deal has been confirmed on other sites, but I'm sorry for the problems it's been causing with our readers! 
___________________________________
On that note... I'd like to remind everyone about this incredibly useful phone number:
1-888-8COUPON


This is the number to call when a catalina does not print.  Have your receipt on hand, and if a store club card is involved, have it ready too.  They have resolved many a problem for many a couponer.
__________________________________

What IS a "Catalina"?

A catalina is a coupon that spits out after your receipt, when you buy certain items.  The coupons can be either "$$ OFF Coupons" or "$$ Off Your Next Order(ONYO).  Right now, there is a Pillsbury Catalina deal going on at a few stores, including Kroger, Bi-Lo, etc.

Buy any pillsbury refrigerated baked goods between 1/25 and 2/21:
Buy 4 - get $2 OFYO
Buy 5 - get $3 OYNO
Buy 6 - get $4 OYNO
__________________________________

Why Didn't My Catalina Print?

In this case, if you bought 6 crescent rolls, and your $4 didn't print, you should definitely call the Catalina Phone Number to get your refund. This happens often to customers, and here's why:
  • Stores sometimes do not have the catalina info updated in their registers towards the beginning of a sale.  
  • Catalina machine is not working/turned on. 
  • Some of your items were not participating items.
  • That store is probably out to get you. (Kidding!)
I hope this helps you a little, catalina's can be a GREAT way to save money (and sometimes even make it!) if know what you're dealing with.  Remember that you can usually roll catalinas: Use them ($$ OYNO) to buy the participating products again, thereby earning another catalina, and so on and so forth.....
If you have any questions, leave it as a comment and I'll get to it as soon as I can!  

WOW! Lots of Kraft Printables!


I just found a whole herd of Kraft printables that you need to get! Go HERE to print out the following - looks like some have already hit their limit!
*First of all, don't forget to print this $1/2 Kraft Cheese PRINT
$1/4 Philly Cream Cheese *Print Limit Reached?
$1/1 Velveeta
$1/2 Planters Nuts *Print Limit Reached?
$1/2 Capri Sun *Print Limit Reached?
$1/1 Parmesan Cheese *Print Limit Reached?
$1/1 Oscar Mayer Bologna
$1/1 Oscar Mayer Lunch Meats *Print Limit Reached?
$1/1 Claussen Pickles
$1/2 Kraft Shells and Cheese * Print Limit Reached?

HINT: These have big ads that print on the bottom of the page after the coupon.  To avoid wasting your ink on such rubbish, watch the coupon as it prints, and as soon as it is on the page push CANCEL and the rest of the page will shoot right out blank.  You can then print the next coupon on that half of the page, and hit cancel to avoid the next ad.
This might seem kind of silly, but when you print as many coupons as we do, you have to cut corners anywhere you can to save on ink and paper!

I personally use every paper my kids bring home from school as printable coupon fodder.  (The ones that don't go on the fridge of course!)  What do you do to save on ink and paper?

Good Deal On Cute Checks!

We've gotten a couple of emails about finding good deals on checks, here's one I just did that saved me $23.42!  It's nice to find a good deal on something you need anyway, hope this helps some of you!!  This offer is from ChecksUnlimited.com - they have some pretty cute designs:








I especially loved the butterfly checks.  Since my dad (Kasey speaking) passed away, my daughter and I always look for butterflies as God's way of reminding us that "PaPa" has a new life in heaven that is free from sickness and disease.

Okay, here's the lowdown on how to get this good deal:
  • Right now, Buy 3 boxes of checks and get the 4th box FREE - Plus! 
  • FREE Shipping & Handling!
  • FREE Designer Lettering!
  • FREE upgrade to Designer’s Choice checks!
I just did it myself, here's what to do, step by step....
1) Go HERE and click on the Big Yellow "INTRODUCTORY OFFER" for this deal
2) Pick your favorite design
3) Check Single or Duplicate checks, then if you want 2 or 4 boxes
2) Your total will appear below, but USE OFFER CODE JL35....  and watch the price drop!

Toilet Paper Tip!


What's your stock-up price for toilet paper?
We think a "Good" price is 35¢/roll, and a "Stock-Up" price is 25¢ or less. (Reg Roll = 1 Roll, Double Roll = 2 Rolls, etc...).  With that in mind, just wanted to tip you off to a couple GREAT Toilet Paper deals at CVS!  *This is the "Good Stuff" for those of you who are picky about your tp!
