Myself and Melchef on the past few transactions that involved Nabisco crackers have NOT received the $10 cat. Not sure if it is because it is combined with Crystal Light or what. It worked for one of my deals of Poly O String Cheese but none on the rest. Is it happening to anyone else??????

I had problems the other night too. I thought it might be a few different things....FLAVORED Star Kist Pouches, Nabisco Ritz crackers, 100 calorie Oreo cakesters or Crystal Light individual packets. My mgr gave me $10 money orders because the ad wasn't very specific about which items were part of it. I did an order of just Crystal Light and it worked, so I ruled that out. So now I am thinking the other two because the sizes were different than the ones in the ad. Tonight I am going and doing only items that match up exactly to the ad. I am going to attempt to mix it with the rest of my groceries, now I know I am taking a HUGE risk, but I want my gas deal too! I usually seperate the catalina deals so that I can better monitor what is happening.

Hmmm...it is all very interesting. Def post what happens tonight. Wish we had gas deals. Our Shaws do not have gas...Stop and Shop does.

I have gotten the cats buying wheat thins and better cheders. I only got the size that is on sale 2/$5

[melchef]

The combination that did not generate the cats for me was this:

Wheat Thins (6)
Jello Pudding (2)

Not sure why. It worked all week.

[jessl]

Could the cat machine have been broken? Or maybe some varieties of pudding don't count?

[melchef]

Nope, this was at multiple stores and it was the exact same thing I've been doing all week.

I bought Wheat thins and Triscuits today and it worked fine. Maybe you broke the machine at your store.

Ha, ha! You so funny!!

Ok, so what do you do when it doesn't work? Return stuff, or just say well, I did my deals and am happy enough...

Earlier I was wondering, when you "discovered" the planters peanut bars were included. Do you risk loosing $10 cats and Qs by trying new combinations?

[Katlady]

When one of my transactions didn;t work I just let it go-Figured I was saving enough anyway. If my budget were really tight, I might consider it though.

Yeah, I was so far ahead in cats that I just took the risk. Glad I did!

[DirtCheap]

I am learning so much from all of you! Thanks a ton!!!

It happened to me tonight twice, I double checked it and it should have given me one...I called the store and the manager told me to bring the receipt in to cust. service and they would give me a gift card for the amount they owe, he said they are having tons and tons of problems with it.

[alipicard69]

So I wasn't too brave last night. I did combine a J&J order and Kraft and a few extras so that I could use my $5/$50 q and earn a little gas discount. Igot both $10 cats, but I am not sure about the gas. I thought it was supposed to print somewhere on my receipt, but I didn't see anything about the gas. Also Rockland has Crystal Light packets, but Kraft pulled the $2 cats on every 3 packets, so I promptly returned the 75 of those that I bought. I was only buying them to get the extra cats. I still have aboout $65 in cats to roll next week, so I have done well this week.

[jessl]

Do you have the new card that works with the gas points?

I think I had one transaction over $50 and it did print out info about what gas points I earned. I think you have to spend $50 or more to get them but I'm not sure.

Yes, I did trade in my card for the new one and last night I spent $55 and can't see anything on my receipt about the gas. I am so confused about the new way they are doing the gas rewards. I will ask at CS next time I see someone different, it has been the same person all week, twice I went because I didn't get cats and then I returned the Crystal Light because the $2 cats stopped printing, so I wasn't going to get them if they weren't a money maker. I need to lie low for awhile.

Does anyone know what is still on sale this week, that works with the deal. are the deli creations still on sale?

[jessl]

I noticed that the easy mac cups are still 10/$10 but I don't think there is a coupon to go with them. Then there is the planters nut bars for 2.50. Not sure what else.
