Old El Paso Money-Maker at Kroger (elsewhere?)

Add to my favorites

by Crystal on January 26, 2010

You can make money buying Old El Paso products at Kroger (and possibly elsewhere) with the catalina deal that’s currently running. Here are the details:

Through February 21, 2010, when you purchase any 3 packages of Old El Paso Taco Shells, Dinner Kits, Seasoning, Refried Beans, or Heat & Serve Side Dishes, you’ll receive a coupon for $1 off your next order. When you purchase any 6 packages, you’ll receive a coupon for $3 off your next order.

The Heat & Serve Side Dishes are priced at around $1.25 at many stores, so you could do the following deal:

Buy 6 Heat & Serve Side Dishes at $1.25 each
Use 6 $0.50/1 coupons from the 1/10 SmartSource insert (doubled)
Spend $1.50 plus tax out of pocket, Get a $3 coupon off your next order
Free plus $1.50 money-maker after coupons and catalina (For those of you who are new here, the coupon which prints for $3 off your next order is called a “catalina”.)

You’ll also want to be on the lookout for peelies on the Heat & Serve boxes for free Old El Paso seasoning when you purchase two Heat and Serve products. If you find these, you could do the following deal:

Buy 4 Heat & Serve Side Dishes at $1.25 each
Buy 2 Old El Paso Seasoning packets at $0.60 each
Use 4 $0.50/1 coupons from the 1/10 SmartSource insert (doubled)
Use 2 free seasoning coupons
Spend $1 plus tax out of pocket, Get $3 catalina
Free plus $2 money-maker after coupons and catalina

It has been verified that this catalina deal is running at Kroger. However, usually catalina deals run at multiple stores. So if you discover it’s also running at another store, let us know.

Thanks, The Coupon “High”!
