my trip to albertsons today con agra scenarios

NOTE: I started out my shopping trip with two $10 catalinas from the CHILLER promo that began on sunday.

I bought:

5 boxes betty crocker fruit snacks

used two .50/2 IP coupons

Paid $4, got 3.50 catalina back

you can repeat the above, and also use the catalina as well. youwill pay .50 for every 5 boxes you buy after this point, and get another $3.50 catalina back each time to use on the next 5 boxes.

i chose to keep the $3.50 catalina for my other purchases

did this twice so had two catalinas to use below, and i also got a $2 survey coupon on my receipt!!
