The Missing ShopRite Catalinas

by Cindy on March 21, 2010 · 28 comments

Well this was not a good day in ShopRite Catalina land.  I have heard from a lot of you that your Catalinas were not printing today.  And, because these were national Catalinas and not specific store Catalinas, ShopRite is clueless.

I had the same experience today as I purchased the Crystal Light, the Oscar Mayer bacon and the Good Seasoning Salad dressing.  All were to have printed Catalinas and all did not.  So, I’m as disappointed as the rest of you.

I did try to call Catalina marketing but they are gone for the day.  They open up at 7 am and rest assured I will be on the phone with them at that time.

For me, I have decided that even if we are not able to  get the Catalinas, I will be keeping all my products as they are products that I want and need and I feel I still was able to get them at a good price.  But, if you were counting on those Catalinas, don’t hesitate to return your items.

I will let you know my finding tomorrow morning.  So stay tuned.  And, I apologize that things didn’t go as planned for our ShopRite trips today.

Thanks Cindy I will wait to here what you find out. And, please don’t apologize. You do so much for us. It’s not your fault they didn’t print.

@Cindy,

I had problems at my shoprite on Thurs. The store manager gave me shoprite dollars to make up from my missing catalinas.

I came on to find out if others had them print because mine didn’t print either. Thank you for looking into it. And like the comment before, don’t feel bad, there was no way for you to know. You have saved me soooooooo much money. I’m so grateful for this site.! Thank you for all that you do. I’ll wait to here what they say as well.

I guess I had better luck than most…the only one I was expecting was the OM bacon and it printed fine for me.
Sorry to hear everyone else is not having the same luck.

I consistently have this problem at Walgreens with their RRs. All I get is an apology letter from the Catalina people. :( After spending .44cents to mail in the rebate form for $1RR it hardly seems worth the effort.

Yay, I’m so happy to hear that there were people that did have them print today. I thought everyone would think I was feeding them bad information. Now I know I’m not going crazy. Now to find out why some of us were having such issues.

@Cindy, Just because your cats didn’t print doesn’t mean you’re not going crazy, just like being paranoid doesn’t mean you’re not being watched………..enough of that!!!!

Oscar was good to me and printed my cat at about 6pm this evening maybe they fixed the problem!!!! Sorry everyone had trouble. This was in New City, NY….

@Eric, LOL, I can always count on you to say something witty! With 3 teenagers, I already am crazy!

I had similar bad luck with the Oscar Mayer Catalina, and my coupon was $1 off of 2, not .75 off of 1, still a good price overall since we will use the bacon, but I was disappointed with Shoprite.

I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. I got mine for the OM and CL. I shopped at the North Brunswick, NJ store. Wondering if it is only certain stores that are having the problem

I got my Crystal Light Catalina in Branchburg NJ with no problem this morning. That stinks that so many had problems!

I got my OM Catalina in Hainesport, NJ. Our area must have not gotten the Crystal Light coupons none in the paper. :( . Oh, well.

Did the transaction twice Cats printed both times. 3 packs of OM bacon. Used 3 1.50/1 qs and got back $2 cat. So I brought home the bacon, fried it up in a pan and made a buck on the deal. It’s gonna be a great week. I’ll need to wash it down with some free Sobe ;)

I got the Oscar Meyer and Crystal Light Catalinas today in Brick, NJ Shoprite. Sorry to hear others are having problems.

Thanks for all the work you do getting us the great deals! I wouldn’t save as much if I didn’t have your site to come to!

My did not print at Shop Rite. I purchased four Bacon. Luckily my boyfriend was doing a transaction behind me. And my catalina coupons printed after his order. It said $3 off your next order thanks to Oscar Meyer. Thankfully there wasn’t a stranger behind me.

My Crystal Light and OM catalinas printed tonight in Toms River. I am sad about Pitt losing, too. 3 points…they had two chances at the end there and I really kept thinking that they could pull it off….
