Catalina Coupons

Catalinas (named for the company that issues them) are a GREAT way to save a lot of money on your groceries! A catalina is a coupon that prints out with your register receipt at the end of transaction when you have purchased select items. Yes, those annoying long slips of paper the cashiers hand you with your receipt can actually save you money! Not all stores have catalinas, but the places that do should be where you shop!
Guidelines for Printing Catalinas:

• You must buy EXACTLY what the offer states to get the
  Catalina to print. If the offer states Buy 3 Boxes of Kellogg's Cereal
  11 oz and Larger - you cannot buy a 10 oz and two 14 oz.


• You must buy all of the items in ONE transaction.


• You may use manufacturer and store coupons on the items in the
  Catalina. This is where the savings really add up!


• Catalinas that print for offers of "Spend $20, Get $5 off your
  next Purchase" - the catalina will print when the orginal amount
  (BEFORE coupons) reaches $20. If coupons bring it down to $5, it will
  still print and now you just got $20 worth of products- FOR FREE!


• Redeeming Catalinas - Stores have different policies on how many
  can be used together. Check with your individual store on their
  policy.


• When the catalina is issued, it is considered a STORE coupon, and
  can be used with Manufacturer Coupons.

That is essentially the guidelines for getting and using catalinas!
