My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
When you buy three of each to get a 2 catalina for each you are doing in two diff transactions ???
Or say that I but 3 of fresh take and 2 of the cooking cream in one transaction I will get a 4 catalina ????
Yes, you can mix them if that is what you are asking. Something like this:
Buy (3) Kraft Fresh Take Cheese/Breadcrumbs – $1.79 each (wyb 10 participating mega sale items)
Buy (2) Philadelphia Cooking Cream tubs – $1.79 each (wyb 10 participating mega sale items)
Use (3) Kraft Fresh Take coupons AND
Use (2) Phili Cooking Cream
Pay: $3.95, Get Back $4 Catalina
= 5 free!
I was wondering if anybody has experience with buying 10 items in one transaction? Will you get (2) $4.00 catalina coupons or is it better to split it up?
You will not get 2 Catalinas as it is based on the number your buy and the highest amount you can get is $4 on 5 (or more) so if you want 2 catalinas you need to do 2 transactions. That being said…does anyone know if this particular Catalina rolls so we can use the first catalina to pay for the 2nd transaction and still get another Catalina?? Please post if anyone tries it. Thanks!
I rolled the Kraft Catalina several times at Albertsons last week.
You will not get (2) catalinas if you purchase 10 items, as K stated it is 5 or more with a $4 catalina back.
Ok thanks for the answers on that! I wasn’t sure if it was 5 or more or not.
It rolled at Vons. I’m not sure if it varies store to store.
Does anyone know if the indulgence cream cheese is part of the deal or catalina?
No – sadly the Indulgence Cream Cheese is not part of the Ralph’s Mega Sale ($5 off 10 items) as I went to Ralph’s tonight. However, it looks like it is part of the Catalina (from Josie’s post above). My Ralphs had it at a “reduced” price of $2.79 – down from $2.99
So you could get the Indulgence as 1 of your 5 Kraft items for the Catalina but then would need another item to get your $5 off 10 since it won’t count in that.
Thank you so much for this reply, including telling us the price. I was wondering the same thing as Krystal.
Thank you! I was still able to get a good deal! Got 5 cooking creams, 3 fresh take, 2 indulgence all for free with the coupons I had
Can someone explain to me how this would be free? I mean, you’re getting this coupon in the same transaction, and they would print after the transaction has been completed, funds are given, change is returned, along with the receipt and catalinas, am I right?
Maybe linking me to an explanation, if possible? Thanks
It is not free initially until the catalina is given back to you. The catalina is good on anything in the store except items Prohibited by law: Milk, tobacco, lottery tickets, etc.
A catalina is essentially cash that can be used at this store, On your next purchase. Hope that helps!
It is not free at the time, but you only spent $3.95 and got $4.00 back to use on anything else. So if you were already going there to buy something (anything), you can do separate transactions to apply the $4 to something that you would have paid $4 out of your pocket. So if you add the first and second transactions together, you got the cheese for free.
Well said.
My “(anything)” is usually apples or bananas or soymilk. Now if they would just do an awesome Silk milk catalina one of these days!..
I’m having trouble getting the coupon to load. I click and nothing happens.
Does the catalina roll? Can I use it in a second transaction and get another one?
I rolled the Kraft catalina several times at Albertsons last week so I think it should roll.
Can anyone explain how to print $1off fresh take cheese? I see the button “try new Fresh take and save $1 “, but I cannot click on it .
Hmmm… I was able to click on it and it took me to the coupon. Maybe try again?
I had a coupon for the Philadelphia Cooking Cream in my Kraft Fresh Taste account, I was able to print (2) $1.50/1, which could turn that deal into a MM with the right combination of Q’s for the buy 10 deal.
Went tonight and bought 7 fresh takes, 2 country crocks, and a simply orange juice, used my $4 catalina on my next transaction of 6 dannon light and fits , 4 white classico sauces , 2 single serve silk milks , & ketchup! I know that in the end I spent under $15 ( I never remember exact numbers lol) so I think I did good.
BTW I wanted to let you guys know the dannon yogurts 4 packs are $1.49 with the mega event and they have peelies that say $1/1 pack so you are only paying .50 cents a pack! great item if you are thinking of ways to get 10 items and staying in a budget!
Does anyone know if food4less is running this Catalina? Thank you
Hi Tanvi raz you can find out at coupon network.com heres the link http://www.couponnetwork.com/
Went to Ralph’s lastnight for the mega event and the Kraft cat. It did not print for me. Who should I contact about it?
you can call the catalina company: http://info.catalinamarketing.com/contact/contact-form/
Thanks for the post — just got back from doing this deal. Got 4 Kraft Fresh Take; 1 Philadelphia Creme; 4 Country Crock; and 2 Frank’s Red Hot (only needed 1 Frank’s to make it to 10 items, but bought 2 since I had 2 different Frank’s Qs including 1 for the “thick” which I wasn’t expecting to be included in the sale but have been wanting to try). Qs used: (4) $1 Kraft Fresh Take (SS 2/26); (1) .50 Philadelphia Creme (SS 2/26; doubled to $1); (4) $1 Country Crock printable; 1 Frank’s Red Hot .75 (SS 1/22; doubled to $1); (1) Frank’s Red Hot Thick .75 (SS 1/22; doubled to $1). Paid $4.93 after Qs and Mega Event Savings, got my $4 Kraft catalina and used it to buy chicken… so basically .93 (I guess I got .04 overage for the Country Crock : ) for 2 Frank’s Red Hot plus 5.97 for one of the 3-lb frozen chicken breasts which I needed anyway, and everything else was free… don’t usually shop at Ralphs but this one was too good to pass up; thanks again!!!
If anyone knows, please post the price of the Kraft MilkBite Bars. Thank you.
I couldn’t even find them at my store.
I think it would be a miracle if someone found them–I looked everywhere!
hi josie i found them next to the yogurt section, they are a refrigerated product i was all over looking for them until i found them the sad part is that they are not included on the buy 10 save 5, and they were 2.79 at my store!
Finally got to go do this deal did 3 transactions
1st got 3 fresh take 2 cooking cream 2 sunny D 2 country crock and 1 rockstar
