I mentioned this catalina in the Food4Less Match ups and figured out the reason it was not working. Instead of purchasing two gain detergent–you MUST purchase an additional Gain item that is NOT detergent to get the catalina. Reader Yasmin received this catalina today when she purchased two gain detergent and two softeners (she got the $3 catalina because she purchased two additional gain items)
Catalina details:
5/12 – 5/25 | Gain Products
Buy (1) Gain Detergent and (1) Additional Gain Product = $2.00 OYNO
Buy (1) Gain Detergent and (2) Additional Gain Products = $3.00 OYNO
{Deal Idea}
Buy (2) Gain Detergent $3.98 (must buy two)
AND Buy (1) Gain Fabric Softener $2.50 ea
Use $2/2 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Tide Powder or Era Detergent, exp. 6/30/13 (P&G 05/12/13 R)
or $2/2 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Era Detergent or Tide Powder, exp. 5/31/13 (RP 04/14/13 R)
or $1/1 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Tide Powder or Era Detergent, exp. 6/30/13 (P&G 05/12/13)
Pay: $7.46, Get Back $2 catalina
= $1.82 per item
You could also do the following:
Buy (2) Gain Detergent $3.98
Buy (2) Gain Fabric Softener $2.50 ea
Use $2/2 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Tide Powder or Era Detergent, exp. 6/30/13 (P&G 05/12/13 R)
or $2/2 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Era Detergent or Tide Powder, exp. 5/31/13 (RP 04/14/13 R)
or $1/1 Gain Detergent or Fabric Enhancer, Tide Powder or Era Detergent, exp. 6/30/13 (P&G 05/12/13)
Pay: $8.96, Get Back $3 catalina
= $1.49 per item
If your store has Gain Dish Soap–that might be a better deal for you. Instead of purchasing softener you could throw in one dish soap instead.
Thanks, Yasmin!
