Betty Crocker Catalina

Got a Catalina today that I had not seen, or had forgotten about!
This was at Harris Teeter-
Buy 3 BC Boxed Potatoes and get $1 coupon
Buy 4 and get $1.50
Buy 5+ and get $2

I already used mine but there was a BC Potatoes E-vic coupon for 50 cents....

There are .50/2 coupons in the Smart Sources dated 11/14, 11/21 and 12/5

Buy 5, use two of the coupons, pay $3 get $2 back.  That is $1 for 5 boxes.   This should be able to roll- there is no limit and it expires 12/26

A GREAT thing to bring to a food pantry or make a quick and easy dinner!

I got:


a donut (my son needed a treat for listening to his twin sister scream all the way into the store) .60

Why it's great to sign up...

for LOTS of things.

In my inbox yesterday there were 2 wonderful emails!

The first email was from CVS.  It was a survey invitation.  For completeing the 5 minute survey about my spice buying habits (LOL) I got a $5 ECB reward!  YAY. 



The second email was from Build-a-Bear (my 7 year olds obsession).  It was a $10 gift certificiate.  No minimum purchase, no strings!  YEP.  That made her day.

This is why I sign up for everything and anything online from REPUTABLE companies.  You never know what their next marketing campaign might include for you!

Bud Light Rebate $6

By happenstance today in Lowes Foods I found a Bud Light Golden Wheat Offer for $6 rebate with a $10 purchase of pasta, sauces, breads and spices.  From 9/1-12/31.

This is why I keep ALL my receipts!  I had purchased $12 worth of Ragu sauce at Walgreens back on 12/5 (after coupons and everything I only spent $10.05 for 8 Ragus, 2 Hershey bars, 4 Barilla pastas, Helmmans mayo and floss !  I;m sure i got a ton of RR back too!

So, I am sending my rebate off to get my $6 check!  Cha-Ching!
