Making Money with Catalina Coupons

Filed under Grocery Store Deals {no comments}

I was not planning on doing any grocery shopping this week. However I could not pass up all the Catalina promotions going on at Jewel-Osco. Catalina promotions are a great way to save a lot of money. There were several going on this week with some items working for different promotions at the same time.To learn more about Catalina Coupons read my post “Where To Find Coupons”.

I had to split this up into 5 transactions, but here is a list of all that I got.
8 jars of Ragu
9 Betty Crocker cake mix
8 jars of Betty Crocker frosting
10 boxes of PopTarts
5 1.5qt of Breyers ice cream
5 boxes of Klondike bars
4 packs of Bic pens
12 packages of Q-tips (375 counts)
2 Vaseline Intensive Care lotions
Total Out of Pocket Cost: $39.30
$15 in Catalina Coupons remaining

Total Savings(sales and coupon): $145.85
Manufactures coupons used: $24
Catalina Coupons used: $65
Jewel Value Card savings: $56.85

I also plan on using the 10 boxes of PopTarts towards the Kellogg’s Fuel For School Rebate (found in this weeks coupon inserts). I will be receiving $10 back plus a $70 coupon for Dell. If I am able to take advantage of the Dell coupon towards my new laptop that I plan to purchase in the next few months then I will have actually made money on these deals.

There were more items I wanted to stock up on but the shelves were empty. Looks like they have extended the promotion another week so hopefully they will be able to restock the items.

If anyone in the area is interested in getting the break down of any of these deals please let me know and I will send you the details.

Update: Just got back from JewelOsco to see if they got in Skippy Peanut butter. They did! Here is what I got:
12 Jars of Natural Skippy peanut butter
$24.42
-2.00 Manufactures Coupons
-15.00 Catalina Coupons
$7.42 Out of Pocket Price
Plus received another $21 in Catalina Coupon.

Total Savings:$24.80
