I'm thinking of buying the seasoning six packets of seasonong 3/$2. I'll spend $4 and get a $3 dollar cat for chicken or burger. from there I will buy a rotisseree chicken, use the $1 off in the back to school book and the $3 cat and the chicken will cost me $6.99 - 1.00 - 3.00 =2.99. Too bad I don't have any of the old el Paso
q's and rotisseree chicken is not on sale but I don't have to cook.

Sounds like a plan!

i've done the el paso deal 3 times so far and plan at least 1 more trip -- we have tacos often, so this was a great deal for us.

Can someone break down this deal for me? I just can't get a grasp on it.

If you buy any 6 participating Old El Paso (listed on the bottom of page 4 in the ad) you will get a coupon for $3 off ground beef. The cheapest thing that triggers it is the seasoning packet. If you don't have any coupons it will be $4 for 6 packets and then you get back a coupon for $3 off beef.

There is a $1/3 coupon that I think came from some booklet that makes it a money maker. Also look for peelies on some of the boxes for free seasoning wyb any two products. (I also had one I got in a train for $1/beans wyb any two old el paso products but haven't seen that one in the store)

All of the boxes of Tacos (the wide bottom ones) had the peelies on them at my store. It was for $1.09, but the cashier would only take of $.67. It's OK though.. I used the $3 coupons I got today to buy several 1 pound packages of the ground beef that's $1.88 a pound. And the Cat gave me $3 off.. so overage.

Hi, so if you got a couple of different Old Elpaso CATS off meat, can you use multiple cats to buy say one chicken or beef item?

[jessl]

I'm not sure because I haven't tried that. I think it should work. I've been buying ground beef in sizes around $4 and using one $3 off each

[Katlady]

Buying one chicken with multiple cats will be a ymmv-They may expect to see one package of meat for each cat you're using. Depends on the cashier.

Does anyone know if the sale prices for the Old El Paso items are extended past this week? I know often they will be on sale for 2 week or what not.... I forgot to peek at the shelf tag today.

[jessl]

I kept forgetting to peak too...

I went to Shaws in Hanover today and bought 6 el paso items and no cat for burger or chicken. I went to customer service and the manager knew nothing about it.I said it was in a separate flyer but it was taco bell stuff with no cat. Where was the info. I know it was online but what can you go to when the store knows nothing about it. I just took the refund. Is there a place where it is officaially posted?

I checked the signs for the catalina deal and it said until 10/1.

Im wondering if I can use the Cat for a roast, then get the free potatoes too.

That's exactly what I did yesterday.

HI, was there a certain order that you gave the qs?

No.. I think since one (the $3 off meat) is a manufactures coupon.. and the other (for the free veggies) is a store coupon. It doesn't matter the order.

HTH....
I think there is also a $1 store Q for the roast in the Shaws saving book - if you have that.

H Susan. The cat is for Old El Paso.

[jessl]

It was advertised in last weeks flyer, but that won't help you because it says it is for just that week. The coupons that actually print out have fine print saying it is good through 10/4
