My Shopping Trip: Stop & Shop

I headed to Stop & Shop to use up some mailed coupons that I had received and to check on the Oscar Mayer Catalina.  It seems that, in addition to the new Oscar Mayer Lunchmeat Catalina Deal I posted earlier,  there is also an Oscar Mayer Catalina on select Oscar Mayer products which includes the Oscar Mayer Selects.  This additional catalina deal is Buy 3 of select Oscar Mayer products and get a $3 catalina.  The offer is over tomorrow 5/17.

Here are the details on that catalina:

Oscar Mayers Products: OM Bacon, Luncables with Fruit, Lunchables 2 pack, Selects, Selects Hot Dogs, Carving Board
5/4 – 5/17
Buy 3 Get a $3 Catalina

Well, with the new Oscar Mayer Lunchmeat Catalina deal that just started, I thought maybe, just maybe, we would have a double dip on the 2 catalinas.  I’m sorry to report that it appears the Selects are not included in the new catalina.

But, the good news is, there are Oscar Mayer 2 oz packs that are only $1 each that are working on the new catalina.  As a reminder, here is the new catalina deal:

Oscar Mayer Lunchmeats
5/14 – 6/10
Buy 3 Get a $2 Catalina
Buy 4 Get a $3 Catalina
Buy 5 or more Get a $4 Catalina

Here is the deal you can do:

Buy 5 Oscar Mayer 2 oz packs $1.00 each
Pay: $5
Get a $4 Catalina
$0.20 each after catalina
