What is this, you ask? Allow me to explain. You've planned your trip to Walgreens to pick up some free gum and you get a Catalina for Pledge. Oohhh-kaaayyy. We all wonder what gum has to do with Pledge....they must expect that we're going to have to clean sticky gum from our dining room chairs. Well, this is the place for you to let us know what Catalina you got and what you bought.

Here is the information you'll need to have:

Date Received/Product & Value/Expiration/Item Purchased/ (If more than one item, you can just say *multiple items.*)

Final note/caveat:

sos2theworld made an excellent point:

"Just an FYI... the Catalina coupons are often linked to your credit/debit purchases. So say last month, you bought Neutrogena acne soap. You go in the store today and buy a bottle of water, and it spits out a Clean and Clear coupon. It's because the information is stored so when you use the same card, it gives you coupons for the types of products you have bought in the past. Sometimes they are also just linked to specific product purchases, of course, but not everyone will necessarily get the same coupons when they buy specific items. HTH!"

While this is certainly true, I always pay cash and have received some of the same Catalinas as those who pay with credit/debit. Maybe if we make a long enough list, we can start to see a pattern appear! Oooooh, how intriguing!

Excellent point and I'll list that as a caveat. Personally, I only pay with cash and often get the same cats as others, too. It's definitely hit or miss, that's for sure. I would never recommend purchasing these items expecting to receive one, but it's nice to know what's floating around.

[rayness]

Not sure if this is the thread to post in. But here are a couple I received Sunday. I bought 2 newspapers, Up2u gum and a Sierra Mist.

B1g1 free Wonka Banana Laffy Taffy 1.5 oz exp 1/8/12

$2/1 Axe shower gel 12 oz excludes trial and travel sizes exp 12/31/11

[ladygodiva02]

I have gotten 2 of the $2 Axe showergel ones. Once I was picking up a perscription and a thing og wags pads (Also got a $2 Kotex tampon cat here.) Can't remember what I bought the other time.

[evenkeel]

I got a $2.50/1 Axe shower gel on Monday. I don't know which transaction it came from but I was buying Suave, Theraflu and Listerine. I also got one last month for $5/1 23.4 or larger powder Enfamil premium newborn or infant. I have no idea what I bought that time.

[1217topher]

i picked up 5 boxes of UP2U gum and walgreens brand pads (the $2 RR ones) and received a catalina coupon for $2 off any listerine total care zero anticavity mouthwash (exp. 1/11/12)

[Cecmer]

Purchased the Suave and listerine pocket packs today but as soon as she rung up the first Suave shampoo a $2 AXE body wash printed.

[evenkeel]

Oh, I also got a $3 off Bufferin 100 ct+ on Monday.

[goc936]

when I purchased the listerine strips out pops a 2.00 off 2 then I pay and recive a 1.oo off the stips as well and evey trans. it did it as well

[pamelizabeth]

$4.00 on any nice n easy. All I bought were Walgreen brand baggies!

[anixon2]

I got a $2/1 cat for Comtrex the other week when I purchased cold calm. Looking at the November coupon book there is a $3/1 q in there as well, may make for a free/cheap deal!

[JudyFos]

Bought Zantac this week and received a cat for $3 on any Prevacid, exp 1/16/12. Also scanned my AARP card, and out popped a cat for $1 on Wal-Mucil capsules, 160 ct, exp 11/21/11.

[Omadison]

We usually buy Prilosec, but in the last month we've gotten $3 off Prevacid cats whenever we used the debit card, and no Prilosec was purchased (this happened 3 or 4 times). If we paid cash, no Prevacid cat.

[bagonkin]

Went to Walgreens on Oct 23, and I bought 4 12pks of pepsi products and 2 Welch's Grape Jelly. Then out pops a free Poise bladder control pads cat. Didn't make much sense to me---since I'm only 37 and never have bought anything related to that! Am wondering if I could use them as pads for my time of the month? Or I can donate them...

[ms_courtney]

Well I braved the rain and cold and ignored the world series to go to wags tonight, .

Got a funny cat catalina!
Buy two purina items and get 2 dollars off between 10/23 and 11/19. Which came right on time because I adopted a 2nd cat (the animal not the coupon) on Tuesday. I foresee a lot of money being spent on litter.

[staceydu]

Ok all, i got a good one today. I bought two boxes of cool touch kleenex and 3 capri suns.and i got....A coupon for Midas car shop for an oil change and tire rotation for $22.99! Expires 12/23/11..now i find this one odd!

[sammilynae]

Man, I never get Catalinas unless I am buying something that I know for sure has them. :-( I would LOVE to get those Axe cats to combine with my awsome Axe sales/coupons! That would be like $.75 for two huge bottles of body wash!

Yesterday we bought several packages of Huggies wipes and it printed an $8/1 Enfamil cat. If anyone wants to swap for similac Q's I would love to!

[ananyavb]

I bought 9 packs of Huggies jeans at clearance, and received 2 cats for Enfagrow

Save $5.00 on any size Enfagrow powder, expires 12/11/11

(I like that it says any size powder. Will check out my wags for the smaller cans)

I have only bought Enfagrow from Kmart & CVS, and have only been buying Enfagrow for the last month or so. Hmmmm... I did use the same credit card to pay for the $0.89 purchase at Wags (and the other 2 stores) but maybe it's just a coincidence that it "knows" we use Enfagrow in our household.. creepy
