Jewel Trip 1/12/10

I FINALLY FOUND YOGURT!! I don't mean to yell, but I stopped at 2 Jewel's yesterday and they were wiped clean so I did the happy dance when I found yogurt today. I went to 2 different stores (both different from the stores I went to yesterday) and was happy to find enough to do a couple rounds of the current GM Catalina deal going on! (Note: Go here to read more about how these deals work).

I paid $6.21 oop and gained $2.50 in cats so my total net cost was $3.71 for everything!

Transaction 1:

5 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks - $1.99 (reg price $1.99)

3 Yo-Plus Yogurts - $1.50 (reg price $3.35)

Total $14.45 (reg price $20, enough to produce the cat)

Used 2 $1/2 Betty Crocker Fruit snack printables

Used 3 $1/1 YoPlus coupons from 1/3 GM (or printables)

Pay $9.45 and get back $8.50 in cats ($5 from the GM deal and $3.50 for another overlapping Fruit Snack catalina deal) and 50 Bonus Boxtops!

Since I wanted to roll my $10 catalina from the last P&G deal I added in

1 Minute Maid OJ - $2.50

Used 1 $1/1 Minute Maid OJ from catalina machine

Used $10 cat from P&G deal

Paid $2.10, but lost $1.50 in cats, so a net total of $3.60.

Transaction 2 (this cat deal stacks 2 high, meaning you can double the total and get back double the cats):

8 Yo-Plus Yogurts - $1.50 (reg price $3.35)

4 Nature Valley Nut Clusters - $2.49 (reg price $3.79)

Total - $21.96 (reg price $41.96, enough to produce the cat x 2)

Used 8 $1/1 YoPlus coupons from 1/3 GM (or printables)

Used 4 $1/1 Nature Valley Nut Cluster printables

Pay $9.96 and get back $10 GM Cat (prints as 2 $5), $2.50 cat from overlapping Nature Valley cat deal and 100 bonus box tops (prints as 2 50 bonuses).

I used $8.50 in cats, so I paid $1.98 so I had a net profit of $2.02.

Transaction 3 (Kraft Catalina: Buy 5 participating products get $5 catalina thru 1/24):

5 Breakstone Cottage Cheese Doublers - $1.19

Pay $5.95 get back $5 catalina, total for all 5 .95!

I used a $5 cat from the transaction above and paid $1.09 oop.

Transaction 4 (same deal as above but broke it up to get another cat):

5 Breakstone Cottage Cheese Doublers - $1.19

I used a $5 cat from the transaction above and paid $1.09 oop.

Don't forget with this deal not only do you get a $5 cat but you get 50 Bonus Box Tops for your kid's school!!

Do you have any great scenarios for this deal? I know it ends tomorrow and I'm totally late to the party, but I guess showing up late is better than never :)!
