Yes, check bottom of page 5 online carefully, as some items pictured are not participating and some only certain sizes!

Here's what I see to add:
Betty Crocker Frosting $.50 after .50c printable coupon doubled
3 GM cereals @$2 each - $1 off 3 coupon doubled = 3 cereals for $4
Skippy peanut butter with .40c coupon doubled = $1.20
Suave deodorant with .50c coupon doubled = .50c
All deodorant ($1 off 2 doubled makes them $3.50 each for the 50 oz. bottles, not great but not terrible if you need it)

The Betty Crocker Frosting is not included in the catalina deal. Only the Supermoist cake mix.

Thanks for adding your finds.

UPDATE: The BC Frosting is included in the catalina deal. I missed it when I read the online ad. My Bad.

Why do you say the Betty Crocker frosting is not included? It is listed in the fine print (behind Betty Crocker Biquick (20oz.)). The third into the fourth line.

When I went in store and actually saw the paper ad, I noticed it. Sorry, you were right. Betty Crocker Frosting IS included. Thanks.

Just went in with my two DD's and we did three transactions total. Here is what we got:

First Transaction:

3 Trix Cereals @ $2 each
4 Kraft Salad Dressings @ $2 each
2 Ragu Sweet Tomato Basil Sauce @ $1.50 each
2 Bertolli Pasta Sauce Pouches @ $2 each
2 Wishbone Spritzers @ $1.50 each
2 Gold Peak Tea @ $1.25 each
2 Bumble Bee Tuna Pouches at $1.25 each
2 Country Crock Sides @ $3.50 each
1 Cut Pineapple @ $2.27
1 Cut Strawberries @ $2.35
1 Sirloin Pork Chops @ $2.45

Total before cpns $43.96
Total after cpns $12.11
$10 catalina printed

Second Transaction:

3 Trix Cereals @ $2 each
2 Bertolli Pasta Sauce Pouches @ $2 each
1 Smart Water @ $1.25
6 Gold Peak Tea @ $1.25 each
2 Country Crock Sides @ $3.50 each

Total before cpns $26.29
Total after cpns $1.04
Only a $5 OYNO cpn printed. I used the $10 cat from the first order in this order. I assumed it didn't print the $10 cat because I used a $10 cat in the transaction. So for the next transaction I didn't use the $5 cat from this transaction to see what would happen.

Third Transaction:

3 Trix Cereals @ $2 each
2 Ragu Sweet Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce @ $1.50 each
2 Bertolli Pasta Sauce Pouches @ $2 each
4 Gold Peak Tea @ $1.25 each
2 Country Crock Sides @ $3.50 each

Total before cpns $25.50
Total after cpns $9.60
I didn't use the $5 cat from the previous transaction, but it still printed a $5 cat.

I took the receipts from the last two transactions to customer service and after making sure I actually purchased $25 worth of stuff I was given a $10 gift card. So here are my totals for all transactions combined:

Total $95.75
Total after cpns $22.75
Minus two $5 oyno cpns and $10 GC
Final Total $2.75!!!!!

Sorry, long story short- I believe the Country Crock sides weren't meant to be participating, I had a terrible experience today. Long story-I also purchased $25 worth but only got a $5 coupon. So I went to customer service (Stephanie) who was dumb and said, "Maybe the coupons you used?" I said, "No, that's never happened before and my order after coupons was less than $15, so I wouldn't have gotten the $5 coupon by that logic." Then they said well I must not have bought the right stuff. I said, Well I bought the exact sizes listed in the wording, I didn't even go by the pictures, which is dumb that pictures were shown that weren't included in the sale. Finally after she went through everything, she decided to pick on my Skippy. She said even though the Skippy Natural I got was the right size and was on sale like the other Skippy for $2, it wasn't included (The ad said all Skippy 15-16 oz. The Skippy Natural is the only one that is 15 oz, the others are 16 oz, this means the natural was meant to be included). Then I asked for a manager. The manager, David, was useless. Luckily another customer service rep, I think Lilly, who wasn't even on the clock anymore, said, "She got everything, I"m not sure why it didn't print, just take one item, ring it up til you get $25, then void the order and the coupon will print." So, she took my Country Crock item and did that and nothing printed! So then she said, "Oh this wasn't a participating item, sorry." I said, "Ma'am, it's in the ad, in the picture, and the wording." She said, "No, this is deluxe" I said, "They are all marked deluxe." She finally scanned a cereal and gave me my $10 coupon, but BE WARE if you try to do this deal, it's been chaotic for many people. And I'd avoid the Country Crock or be ready to fight.

Thank you sooooo much for posting your experience. I think you are right, it was the Country Crock. But it is only certain flavors. In my first order the $10 oyno cpn printed and I bought two CC Garlic Mashed potatoes. In the second order, which printed a $5 oyno cpn I bought one CC Garlic Mashed Potatoes and one CC Mac & Cheese. In the third order I bought one CC Garlic Mashed Potatoes and one CC Fully Loaded Mashed Potatoes. So, from what I can see the Garlic Mashed Potatoes is the only one that will count toward this catalina deal.

HTH!

[ayyogurt]

Wow. What craziness to be so disorganized in this deal! I would hate to be working customer service over the next week! Thanks for the clue about the Country Crock, I bought one Garlic potatoes and one mac and cheese, so that may be it.

[spitfire1]

Thanx gals for all your hard work...and sorry for your experience!! I have a question, perhaps a stupid one, but a question, none the less.

Does the total have to be WITH coupons taken off or BEFORE coupons are taken off??

According to your post with transactions, sounds like total to meet the requirement is BEFORE coupons. But wanted to make sure...this might be a potential point of "confusion" for some cashiers....

[kcelianeil]

Now that Dbl $1 day is almost over.....
is there going to be a scenario that will be worth the summer catalina deal???? I'm fried tonight....will look more in the morning!!!!
Thanks for everyone sharing...I put my transactions from today in the other post!!!!

[kcelianeil]

Hello, I went to Farm Fresh today and sometimes I just get tired of trying to do those deals they sound great but they actually cause alot of frustration with many customers. I have been in there having trouble and having to wait for manager because someone else is having the same exact problem. Other than that I think I had a pretty good day I got
Pretzels
Northern Toilet Paper
Brawny Paper Towels
Breyers Icecream Daughters Favorite
Wishbone Dressing
Suave Items

Well, the following products would be worth purchasing for the deal all week long:

GM Cereals with the $3/3 peelie.
Ragu Pasta Sauce with the .60/1 cpn
Bertolli Pasta Sauce with the .60/1 cpn
Gold Peak Tea with the BOGO tearpad cpn
Wishbone Dressing with the .75/1 or $1/1 cpns
BC Frosting cpns with the .50/1 cpns
Smartwater with .50/1 tearpad cpn

My husband, DD and I did our weekly FF trip and saved 46%. Since I'm still building a stockpile, that's not bad for us.

The summer savings catalina q did not print for either of our 2 transactions ... had to have CS manually add it up and cut us a Gift Card for the amount (it's actually nice since there is no exp on a GC) but ... be careful that you get your $/off coupon if you qualify! The woman in line behind us had to go to CS to for a problem with her summer savings not printing out too.

[Honor]

Surprisingly, this is the first time that i have not had any problems with a FF promo on a Wed. It seems the first day of a promo they still have kinks to work out. If you have problems, make sure that they double check the bar codes. Last promo like this, my FF had a list of all included items, as well as their individual barcodes.

Thanks for adding so many great items, I am going to try & figure up a scenario using only <$1 q's.

One thing I got that i didn't see listed, is "I can't believe it's not butter" baking sticks. The regular price was $3.29 - $.75/1 IP or SS Final price $1.79Not too bad, considering I need butter & it added in for the promo.
The betty crocker website also has a $.55/1 cheerios IP
And there is a q out there for skippy, but I didnt' have one.

2.75......seriously....that is completely insane.....I used your lists and looked at the coupon consultant list and still spent 45 minutes getting my scenario together and coupons together and didn't even come close to this!!!!!!!!!!!
When you look at the ad in the morning, do you just remember what coupons you have?? I would like to do more matchups on my own and post them....but it seems I just don't get it....like how to do it.....any tips????????????

Well, every wednesday I check the ad and I do a search in a couple of coupon databases to see what coupons are out there for the items on sale. Then I post what I find for everyone and I print the post for myself. Then I get in the car with DH to go to work and I sit in the back seat and go through my coupons to find what I need for the deals I found. Then after work I have it all ready for my shopping trip. The only thing is, I don't have my scenarios put together; just all the coupons I will be using set aside. Then when I get to the store I start figuring out what I should do. Most of the time it works out good, but there are those times when they may be out of what I am looking for and I have to think fast to figure something else out. In those cases I may pay a little more than I should have. I hate that! But in the end, I am thankful that I save as much as I do and I get over spending a little more every once in a while. OKAY!!! OKAY!!! I LIED!!! I never get over it and I will stand in line at customer service for .50 if the coupon didn't double!!! Oh, the shame!
