To make this sale work you need to buy items in $30 increments.
Let's say you want to buy some diapers. Buy 3 jumbo size Pampers diapers. This will equal a little more than $30 depending on the type you buy (Cruisers cost $10, baby dry are $10.69). Give the cashier any manufacturers coupons you have. After you pay you would get your receipt and 3-$5 off coupons. These are called "catalinas." You would also receive a $5 off coupon "catalina" to use on another baby purchase.
Having fun? Now you could buy 2 Pampers wipes refills (2 x $5 =$10.00), 4 Bisquicks (4 x $2.50=$10.00) and 4 muffin mixes (4 x $2.50 = $10.00). Hand your cashier any manufacturers coupons you have, your 3-$5 off catalinas, and your $5 off any baby purchase coupon. After all the coupons your total would be under $10!! The cashier will give you your receipt and 3 more $5 off catalinas.
If you don't need baby items, there are a ton of other items that are part of the promotion. For instance fruit snacks and cereals are $2.00. You could buy 7 fruit snacks and 8 boxes of cereals to get to $30. If you have manufacturers coupons, hand those to the cashier, along with your "catalinas." After you pay, the cashier should give you your receipt and 3 more $5 off coupons. You can keep going by using those 3 $5 off coupons or save them for another day. They do expire though, so if you save 'em be sure to use them.

Is that $30 total before coupons or $30 total with coupons used?
Hey Rachelle,
The $30 is before coupons. You can mix and match the items in the promotion that are in different price points, just be sure they add up to $30.
For instance:
1 Gillette Razor $8.99
1 Puffs Tissue $1.25
3 Pantene Styling Products 3/$10
1 Tide Detergent $11.99
Total $32.23-thus qualifying for the $15.00 coupon catalina
Giving the cashier coupons will dip you under the $30 point, but as long as your before coupon total is at $30 you will get your $15.00 savings coupons.
I totally missed the boat the first time I came across this sale. I did only one huge transaction and got just $15 back. I'm pretty sure I had at least $60 worth of stuff.
I learned my lesson thought. I had 4 transactions this time and had much success.
Amberlyn,
I thought you COULD do more than one deal at a time and get all your catalinas...for example buy $60 of stuff and get 6 $5 catalinas.
Sounds like you can't....
Nope, I was just there and asked the cashier that exact question. Only $15 off per transaction no matter what the total.
