They wrote on my receipt that I will get two $2.50 off on my next visit, but I'm wondering how that will actually work when I give it to the cashier. They also forgot to take off the instore coupon for the granola bars...I spent a long time at customer service this trip. :) Is there a website or someplace I can go to for the catalina deals so I can see exactly which products qualify and what deals are available? The customer service people usually aren't as accomodating as they were today, and if they had pressed me for the exact details of the promo, I wouldn't have known. Thanks for all your work on this site! I have cut our grocery bill down to about $60 per week from $100 per week! I just did this deal, but the catalinas didn’t print.

4 boxes of fruit snacks at $1 each less $0.40/1 coupon is $0.60 per box for a total of $2.40.
