Everytime you add to the database, you add to the collective "awesomeness" of AFC, and get good Karma points to boot!
So don't forget, once you've posted your catalinas here on the forum- add it to the coupon database so you can share it with everyone on AFC. You can find the database by going to the coupon menu and then selecting "Coupon Database Search".

Do a quick search to make sure someone hasn't beat you to it, if not- add your coupon either by clicking here or just click the "add a coupon to the database" link on the database search page. Easy to follow instructions are listed at the bottom of the form.

If you haven't used the database yet, go over and try it out. You can quickly find printables, insert coupons, snailmail and just about every coupon out there which is super helpful for working out deals.

I have a question about this. Sometimes I get the same catalina later with a different expiration date. I assume this means it's "rolling". but they only print out for a short time so do they end up in the database forever if I choose this?

Hi-
I am new and learning. What is a catalina?

[jessl]

Hi savingfamily - a Catalina is a coupon that prints out from a little printer by the register when you check out. Catalina marketing is the name of the company that provides this service to the stores. A lot of times they are linked to what you happened to buy or your loyalty card. Walgreens Register Rewards are an example of a catalina, but a lot of grocery stores use them too.

Hmmm, that is a good question... I am not sure. I will ask a mod.

Yeas, a 'rolling' status will make it stay in the generator until it the coupon is updated that it is invalid, etc. HTH
