As always, this deal is working off of the "sale" prices (not shelf, not Preferred). First, I must say that if you choose to do the deals this way, you are taking a risk of NOT getting the catalina coupons! If you don't get them, you CAN NOT complain to customer service. Although you are not doing anything wrong, it's the way Catalina and Jewel have set the deal up, you are going against the sales ad and you are doing this at your OWN risk. If it doesn't work out and you don't get your coupons, it could be that you got one item wrong (UPC not part of the deal) or you used the wrong price to reach your total or even that the Catalina system was down or the machine wasn't working (always make sure that the Catalina machine has a solid green light on). You can keep the items (that is what I do, as I took the risk) or you can return the items before you leave the store. If you take food out of the store, they can not return them to the shelves and throw them away. In my opinion, it is not fair for Jewel to lose money for a mistake that you may have made. If you work the deal on preferred prices and do not get your catalina coupons, then you can go to customer service for your coupons.Although the ads state that you have to spend $xx to get $xx on your next order it does not work that way. The way it is set up is that you must spend that amount in "sale" prices. Jewel has 3 prices on most items. They have the shelf price, the sale price and the preferred price. The price you want to use is the sale price. For example, let's say the GM Cereal is $4.29 shelf price but sale price is $3.99 and the preferred price is $2.50. The price you would use to get to the $15.00 is $3.99. So, you would need to buy 4 of them, which will cost you $10.00 (less any coupons) and you will get back a $5 catalina coupon! Let me stress that it is really important that you scan the items at the price checker - look for it in your store - to be sure of the SALE price. The sale price is the price that the item will ring up at before the preferred discount is taken. If you are willing to take a risk, you can do really well!

This deal should not stack - so ONLY buy $15 in sale prices to get your cat. If you buy $30, it will only print up one $5.00 catalina coupon.

Happy Shopping!
