Cindy – What $2 Catalina do you speak of for Kelloggs Crunchy NUt?
how can I contact Catalina about the coupon?
Yes the catalina for kellogs crunchy nut-I tried calling catalina and they gave me an email address but fo ome reason it x work!
where did the stop and shop $4.00 Cat come from ? you already did the auto $5.00 off instantly? on the Nivea shave items’
The $4 Catalina was from a previous transaction I did with the Oscar Mayer products. Buy 5 of the $1 packs and get a $4 Catalina.
I went to CS desk and they were able to help me out.
I bought the Silk protein shake last night and it’s so good.Thanks for posting that deal.
I just started shopping at stop and shop and I did the nivea deal today, I actually got 4 shaving creams, 2 balms and 1 face wash and I did not get the 5 dollars off or the $4 cat.. am I missing something? thank you for your help in advance
The $5 Instant Savings deal is in the circular. Some stores do gas deals so I’m not sure if this is one of them. If you didn’t get the deduction and it’s in your circular, be sure to stop by customer service with your receipt so they can give you the credit. The $4 catalina was a catalina from a previous transaction that I used to pay for this one.
Thank you, it is in the circular I am unsure if the total has to be 15.oo before or after coupons.. I will stop by tomorrow and ask! Thank you again for your quick response
Normally before coupons
unfortunately for me at my store it has to be after coupons and they would not allow me to fix it! ugh I am getting sick and tired of cashiers being rude just because of coupons & stop and shop is the worse at least my store
Thank you
Cindy, I’m confused. I was sure you have to spend $15 after coupons and savins (that’s what it said on the tag). I also had a similar situation before when scanning a coupon would put the instant savings back on. But it appears that you were able to get it! I don’t understand how it works then.
I find that if you use the self-check out at S&S, sometimes the ‘instant savings’ does not come off your bill. You won’t see it on the screen but it will pop up on your receipt towards the bottom(very confusing!). Also, if you use your own shopping bags and put in the code for it, the instant savings doesn’t show up. Crazy, but I found the pattern. Customer service is good about it in the Sparta store if you have a problem.
Cindy i can’t find the Hefty coupons. I don’t even have a 5/15 SS insert, which one are you talking about?
Hefty coupon is from the 5/13 SS
Hope that helps
I guess I just didn’t get those coupons. I did check 5/13 ss and its not there, I am in jersey city and got the jersey journal coupons…so sad.
