My Shopping Trip: ShopRite & Target
My Shopping Trip: ShopRite & Target
My goal this week was to just roll the (4) $10 catalina I got last week from the Gift Card deal. I have my eyes set on all the meat on sale next week so I wanted to be able to extend those catalinas (since they would expire today) to use next week by rolling them into other deals. I am kind of bummed because next week would be a big meat stock up for me. But with our move in 2 1/2 weeks, I can not load up my freezer.

That’s awesome!! My husband and I did the same thing on Thursday using 5 of the $10.00 Gift Card Catalinas. We did great !!
Kashi steam meals on sale at Shoprite?
Thats great!!!
Where that i find the store coupon??
TIA
I had 7 gift card catalinas and I did the same thing as you Cindy. I really didn’t need 8 bottles of Pantene but I needed to roll my catalina for next week to stock up on meat. I also did the free Zantac which turned into a moneymaker and the Sundown vitamins and got my $3 cat for that too. Thank you for showing me how to keep rolling these catalinas! Enjoy this beautiful weekend!
Cindy, have you had any problems at target w/thier coupons? I had 4 ech of the banana boat and a few others I had 4 ech of and I was informed the coupon states one per guest, and that i would not be permitted to do separate transactions nor go out and come back in! that if I wanted 1 of ech again I had to come in on a diff shift when that manager wasnt there. What are your thoughts on that should I call the main office?
It all depends on the cashier, in my experience. Some will put them through in one transaction, some don’t mind you breaking your transactions up. I’ve never been told what you were, but any time I’m not sure about a cashier and I have more then 1 coupon, I usually have a kid or my husband with me so I just have them do the other transaction.
Loves coupons, when do you think is the best time (shift wise). I’ve never used more than 1 TQ and I want to try 2 TQ’s but am afraid of being scolded by assoc. Thanks!
Stop in and ask customer service at your store…I had a cashier give me I hard time about using 2 at once till I stopped in and they told me there is no limit..havent had an issue since!
I never have a problem using more than 1 “like” coupon at my Target. I have problems with other things, but never that.
hi Cindy!!
where did you got the store coupon for the cotonelle??
Thans
Plese explain how you do this?? I am almost giving up on using any coupons!!!
Hi I know it’s a little late since the sale ends today but I found a $1.50 off coupon on the cottonelle website when you buy 1 12 pack of cottenelle toilet paper and 1 flushable wipes, because I didn’t get any in my newspaper.

thanks for the cottonelle TP link!
Twice I went to Fairless Hills Shoprite this week and purchased the Kikkoman packets and both times I did not get the $2 Catalina!!
Hi, you should go to customer service and they will print it for you – it happened to me this past Wednesday, i showed my receipt and they looked at the Catalina “catalog” and they scanned and the Catalina printed without a problem.
My Catalina’s NEVER print. I bought 6 pantenes and had to go to cs to get my 15 ;which they were reluctant to give me) and my kikkoman didn’t print either and they couldn’t find it in the binder. And the shelf tag said buy 2 get 1. When I bought 3 and should have got $2. So I figured Id go back the next day and try to only buy 2 pantenes and sure enough, no Catalina. Has this happened to anyone before? What to do?? It happens almost every time I try to do a deal!
I went to Shoprite twice this week and bought 3 of the kikkoman and no catalina either time…..I’m really getting sick of trying to get the deals and basically getting ripped off at my local Shoprite. They are getting really bad with the coupons and the catalinas!
I just wish I could get my husband to understand all of this couponing stuff. He throws a fit when he sees me bring home bottles of pantene I got for 0.25 each and free deodorant, he always says way get it if we don’t need it? I have said multiple ways its to get free stuff later we do need, but it never gets through. Anyone else have this problem?
I totally have this problem.
i HAD this problem until i made sure that every trip i came home with something for him. oreos, powerade, klondike bars, protein bars, meat, etc. once he saw that HE was getting something good out of it, he was totally on board
make him go shopping with a long list and pay full price he will never say anything again i made mine buy razor for both of use, tide lg bottle toilet paper , paper towels and meat and he no longer complains about me shopping any more
I am a member of coupons.com but can’t seem to find the .85 coupon for Minute Maid. Does anyone know which zipcode to use?
My Shoprite sadly had the system down yesterday so they took my name and address and said I would be mailed the $5 CAT for the Pantene…will pass there today to see if the system is up so I can do the deal on my way to work…would love to have $15 in CAT’s for next week!
Cindy- will you be moving closer to any stores?
I will have almost all stores by me including some stores I don’t have by me now including Acme, Walmart, Wegmans and A&P. The only bad thing is that CVS is be a bit farther then I am used to but not bad. Of course, the most important store is ShopRite and there is only less then 10 minutes away!
what town are you moving to?
Middletown, NJ
In Middletown, CVS is pretty close, you will have one in Hazlet and one in Atlantic Highlands also!! I miss Middletown, we moved away from there 2 years ago.
Quick question! If we do the Pantene in one transaction will all Catalinas print or just one? Are these rolling to the next deal? Thanks!
Hi Nicole, I bought 4 Pantene with 2BOGO & $3/2. I got 2 $5 cat. The $3 coupon is fr a Sunday paper in May.
Is the price for Dial soap at Target $1.29 only through today? Or is this normal price? I really need to stock up on hand soap, but don’t think I’ll make it to target today.
Where can I find what Catalinas are available?
Scroll up to the top of this page
put your cursor over the “COUPONS” section of the red bar
slide your cursor down to “CATALINAS”, the stores will pop up to the right
slide your cursor over to the store you’d like and click
the catalina deals will come up
HTH!
And that;s why you are the Queen B!!!! Nice!
