I just read up on the very knowledgeable
Couponers Wanted forum about the new Jewel-Osco Catalina deal for General Mills products, and here's what I learned:
TRANSACTION IDEA #1: FREE PROGRESSO SOUP
I stopped into Jewel today and noted that Progresso classic and vegetable are $2 PRE-CARD "SALE" PRICE. (This is updated as of 10/14.)
Buy 13 cans Progresso, for a pre-card total of $26 and a card price of $13
Use $1/4 coupons from the 10/3 GM insert or
printable. If you use three $1 coupons, you pay $10 plus tax and get the $10 back. Free soup!
(This makes me glad I didn't buy all that much Healthy Choice soup because we like Progresso much better. And I should have known it was coming since there was plenty of free Progresso at Jewel last fall too. See how these things are seasonal?)
TRANSACTION IDEA #2: TOTINO'S PIZZA ROLLS MONEYMAKER
Someone on Couponers Wanted posted that the pre-card price for the Totino's as of recently was $2 each. So if that doesn't change tomorrow, you'll need to buy 13 of those to reach the $25 threshhold. Then you'd owe $13. Use six $1/2 printable coupons from the 8/8 or 9/12 GM inserts, or the printable, and you're paying $7 and getting the $10 Catalina coupon back. Another moneymaker!
TRANSACTION IDEA #3: GREEN GIANT VEGETABLES MONEYMAKER
Another idea from Couponers Wanted: Recently the boxed GG frozen vegetables that are on sale for $1 rang up at $2 each. So, just like above, if you buy 13, you'll hit the threshhold and pay $13. Use $1/3 coupons from the 9/12 GM insert. If you have four coupons, you're paying $9 and getting $10 back. If you don't have four of those, also get the $.60/3 from the 10/3 GM or
$.60/3 printable.
TRANSACTION IDEA #4: CHEAP BETTY CROCKER FRUIT SNACKS
Buy 10 fruit snacks @ $2.50 each to spend exactly $25 before card prices, $20 with card. Use 5 $.50/2
printables or from the 10/3 GM insert. Pay $17.50 and receive two Cats: $10 for the main deal and $3 for the small BC deal, meaning that your final price is $4.50, or 45 cents a box.
Other pre-card prices recorded by CW members: $2.29 frosting, fruit snacks $2.50, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal $2.75,

so I did the progresso deal today.. You have to buy 13. The shelf price says 2.19 but they ring up as if they originally cost 2.00. So you get 1 dollar off with your card. They end up being 1 dollar each, but you gotta buy 13 to make 26 dollars...

I tried today. They rang @ $2.19 each (except for two steak and noodles that rang at $1.49.) No cat. $27 for soup. I'm not amused.

I did this as well. Only 2 of my 13 soups rang up at the wrong price (2.19) but I didn't receive the CAT either. I finally realized it was because those 2 were light soups. Were yours light? I'm thinking that is the problem. I'm going back to Jewel today, hopefully they will be nice to me!
