I received a cat today that says Buy 2 Velveeta Shells & Cheese Cups and get a $1.00 OYNP

2 Velveeta Shells & Cheese Cups ($1.00?) I don't know if they are still on sale??

2.00 TOTAL
- 1.00 BOGO MFQ 8/2 SS
- 1.00 CAT FOR BUYING 2

I haven't tried it yet but will be sure to do so... the dates are 8/14-9/7

Hope this helps

Awesome, thank you!
The b1g1 q's are actually in the 8/9 SS, not the 8/2, figured that out after searching and searching, .

I think there were $1/2 blinkies too - or was it .75 off 3?

[amesnbella]

Tried this last night, and it worked just perfect!
Thanks again!

[jlondon]

There were $1/2 blinkies. I'm not loosing it afterall. I did this a few times today. Worked great!! ..

Yes, same cups as the easy mac. It's part of the kraft deal too that is going on until 8/23. You can only get 2 Velveta cups per transaction to get the $1 OYNO though and most of the other kraft stuff isn't on sale anymore.
Free Velveta cups work for me!!

I think this Shaws is against me lately. This is the third order where I didn't get my cat.

I bought 2 velveeta cups on purpopse, and no cat.And I spent $25 in and didn't get my $5 cat either. Sometimes I assume user error. But no $1 cat? just weird.

oh well.

Was the cat machine on? If it is happening a lot at one store maybe they arn't keeping the paper loaded, etc. I would talk to someone at the customer service desk.

[aprilmlittlefield]

yeah, the cat machine was on. I got a coupon for $1.50 off 3 gm cereals.

but I'm wondering if it was really, really slow. and maybe the person behind me got my cats/coupons.

I've been to the customer service desk every week. Just so frustrating.

If you have time, I'd take my receipt in and ask them. If you go during the day the N. Windham, ME the store manager is pretty nice.

I got the $1 cat from the Scarborough store the other day.

I got my cat when I did this today.

[slorbeast]

I seem to have to take my time putting my reciept away and STILL the cashiers ask are you all set, I tell them I think I should be getting something from the catalina and just when I am about to step away, the machine blinks so then we both know something is coming out. I hate the suspense. Most often 9 out of 10 times I am correct. The machine is soooooooooo slow to spit out the Q's. Do other people find this is the case?

[Katlady]

Yes, the machines have been really slow. I've learned to take my time when expecting a cat.

[jessl]

I stand there holding my breath staring at the machine

I was halfway to the door the other day AFTER waiting what seemed like 10 mins when the cashier yelled 'Ma'am, I think these are yours'.

[10goodreasons]

I know. cats takes forever to print. I have had cashiers give me coupons from the previous customer who has left, or worse, crumple them up!

[harrysue]

It worked! I kept rolling it every time I did another order (along with the coupon) of other stuff and the catalina kept spitting out the $1. I kept feeding only 2. I didn't think you would get 2 if you bought 4.

[10goodreasons]

If you can find the b1g1 free velveeta cup coupons then you can get them free! I had a bunch of them and I used them during the last Kraft deal. But I wish I had saved them. Sue

Yeah, the cat machines are really really slow lately...what's really annoying is when the cashier start to ring the next order before the cats start printing....one thing to remember is that the machine beeps after all the cats spit out so make sure you wait until it beeps and you know it's done!

[jessl]

Sometimes it helps to pay with exact change - it takes them a minute to put all the change in the right place in the drawer and by the time they are done the cats have started to print.

You actually have the exact change! I rarely do. I've started being slow and putting my receipt slowly in my wallet, etc. Usually I talk to the cashier for a minute after my transaction is finished and by then the cat prints.

[daised]

Oooo, I like the idea of exact change...though I've actually still been using the gift card I got back in April during their tax promotion...but this gets me thinking is that if I'm expecting cats, I should just stop and take the time to situate my wallet and purse while waiting for them to print. Literally layout my card wallet on that little counter thing, find the exact spot to house my gift card/credit card, carefully place it in, and then painstakingly place the card wallet back in the proper place in my purse while also making sure that I have keys ready and all that...I could also carefully place my receipt in my purse too... For some reason I always rush myself to leave after checking out and I never put things back properly...so if I start taking the time, then I won't have stare at the cat machine for two minutes willing it to start printing....

[Katlady]

You're probably too young to remember, but Mr. Howell on Gilligan's Island was always keeping everyone waiting. We can just act like him at the checkout line.

[daised]

Can I speak with his haughty accent while I make them wait too? Or can I adopt my own like a British one with crazy slang included...I can call the shopping cart a trolley!
