I have a stupid question, It could be just my kids are crazy today and I am not reading clearly. I was under the impression that we have to spend $30 to get $15 I was figuring it was $30 in sale price is it $30 in presale price? does this even make sense what I am trying to ask??? LOL what a day my brain is not working right! TIA

These CAT deals are generally on presale prices. That's because the pre-sale prices are what is programmed into the CAT machine. This is what makes these deals so profitable! Rolling the CATS also increases what you get for a small amount on the first run.

You don't need a blinkie. There are Q's in the SS insert from 10/4 and 11/1 for 1 off 4. There are also some IP's but I don't know if they are still there.

You are correct - but if you get 16 and have the $1/4 coupons then you'll get an extra roll of PT for the same price as buying 15 with 3 coupons! And yes - without any coupons it's still a break even or small MM. I'd prefer to use the coupons and get the 16 rolls to be a bigger MM. Not to mention that there will be tax on the PT so it helps with that IMO

Yes - this is not like Wags. You can use your cats on the same exact product and get the cat again! Depending on what I need for my house I either try and just use cats to pay for the deals and build up cats - but sometimes I'll use the full $15 and fill in the rest with things I need like produce or whatever and get $15 back. Hope that makes sense.



Forgot to quote - but yes these sales are based off of the pre - sale- price PSP and that is why we all get so excited and make out so well. Most people who don't coupon don't know that so the stores and the brands still make out like bandits on the normal people. We are such a small percentage of people actually "buying" this stuff, so it's a GREAT benefit to know. Many of your customer service people don't even know this and would fight you on it if you didn't get your cat for a deal you did based on PSP. Some FEM's and customer service people DO know it's based on PSP though. That's why when a cat doesn't print sometimes I'll just walk away and eat the loss because I usually get paid on the deals when they work right!

I did 5 "quick doubles"...my favorite...

6 Breyers .75/1Q
6 Fiber One bars .40/1 Q
2 Progresso Broth .50/1 Q

Shelf was 60.46, all q's doubled, oop 20.06 got 30.00 CATs..9.94 MM Woo Hoo:

[ms27]

Are the Scott Mega rolls regular working? I read the choose a size are but I ordered the plain mega rolls. TIA

[ctsunshine]

I don't think the scott mega rolls are working. I'll recheck my math, but I was expecting this to work as a "double" to get back $30 in cats, but I only got $15:

- 6 prog broth
- 2 breyers i.c.
- 12 scott PT megaroll
- 3 bc cookie mix

[nikkicole]

has anyone done the scott mega rolls.. working? before i get some..

[jessl]

I got the scotts mega rolls but they were the select a size. They were the only kind I could find. They worked.

[debbiedoodle]

I bought both mega rolls and choose a size in an order today and my CATS printed...so they must both work.

I dont think you had enough pre-sale priced product. At my store, Progresso broth was approx. $2.69 each, Scott Megarolls were approx $2.02 and BC cookie mixes were approximately $2.29 each. I dont know how much the Breyers was pre-sale price, but I would assume something like $3.50 each. Based on these numbers you were a couple dollars shy.

[stefani1]

Breyers is $5.79 at my store - scott is $2.09 and the broth is $2.69. Just check your psp's

[ctsunshine]

I suspect one of my products wasn't scanned. I am glad to hear the products worked, I'll do it again tomorrow!!!

[nikkicole]

I talked to my store about ordering scott. I only wanted like 60 or so. an he said he had 2 pal's coming in on the truck so it wouldnt be a problem. To ake what I want an they will restock. we will hope they get everything an do have enough

[melchef]

Chiming in on the Scotts. Choose a size mega roll worked for me too.

[ctsunshine]

I looked at my receipt and she din't ring one of my paper towels.

I went today to a different store that was all out of paper towels, will try again on Monday.

Choose a size worked for me too. I think I ordered the regular mega roll not the choose a size. There are 2 on the upc list so I assume one is choose a size and one is regular. Has anyone tried the regular and had it work. I really hope I didn't order the wrong ones. I have asked this before and got conflicting answers so I just want to double check Thanks.

[KPEM]

They will pre-order for you even though they know you will get them free? Shaws amazes me more every day!

This happened to me on Friday.. They didn't ring in a mayo, so I thought the deal didn't tripple, when in fact it does. I got my cats back eventually.

My calculator works fine. The cashier.. well........

I don't think I went in prepared. It was my first time trying something like this. I didn't realize it was $30 presale price and I also thought all the products on that one page were participating products, not just the ones with the $15 back wyb $30 tags at the store. Silly. I spent $34 and didn't get the $15 back. Oh, well, next time I'll do my research here better.

The tags at the store are not the best indicator. It SHOULD be all the products on that page of the flyer (regardless of the tags at the store), but some of the items aren't in the computer correctly, so aren't giving the catalina. For example, the old el paso apparently aren't working.

Keep trying, it's so fun when these deals do work for you!

Next time you go bring this receipt to the CS desk and they should be able to give you the cats. Especially seeing as you spent it based on shelf price. Alternately call catalina. Their number is int he first post of the sticky thread with the catalina deals.

PP Towels are working, could it be the cookies? That could have messed my double up too.

The cashier only scanned 11 of the paper towels, so I was short.

I did the cookies yesterday and they worked fine. What flavors did you get?
