I had not done my weekly meal planning and grocery list making, but we needed diapers so it was off for a quick trip to Kroger. Here is what happened.

Transaction #1
2 California Pizza Kitchen Pizza- $4.99 each
-2 $1 printable coupons
2 DiGiorno Flatbread Pizzas- $4.99
-2 $1.50 coupons from 5/17 insert
Final cost- $16.50 or $4.10 each (I saved $15.20  or 50%)
***A $5 catalina did not print. I have called the catalina company 888-826-8766 to tell them. They said they could not check the logs until tomorrow and they would get back to me. If it had printed it would have made the pizzas a much better $2.87 each***

Transaction #2
2 Huggies supreme diapers- $8.99 each
-2 $2 printable coupons
1 Huggies Pull-up Overnite-$8.99
-$5 coupon from Huggies mailer (If you buy Huggies and have not signed up for this I highly recommend it.)
-$1.50/1 Huggies diaper Shortcuts e coupon
-$2/1 Huggies Pull-Ups Shortcuts e coupon
-$1/1 Huggies diaper Cellfire e coupon
-$3 off when you buy $15 worth of Huggies products

Pedigree Dentastix Dog Treats- $4.59
-$2.50 coupon from insert
-$2.50 Shortcuts e coupon
Final cost- Free + $.40 overage to cover the tax

Transaction total- $12.98 (I saved $23.84 or 70%)  Not bad for three packages of diapers and some dog treats.

My $3/2 Huggies coupon did not come off my bill so, I went to their website and put in all the information about the coupon that did not come off.  I got a message that said they would get back to me in 3-4 days.

So, as you can see things did not work out quite how I had hoped. I was planning on having a $5 catalina coupon and $3 off cellfire coupon. That would have made the diapers about $2 a package. Oh well, I think I still got a good deal and I will now better understand the process to go through when e copuons and catalinas don’t work quite right.

    I’ve been wondering about this. Today during my shopping trip my Suddenly Salad cellfire or shortcuts coupon didn’t come off. It is interesting b/c it did come off other items and I had one on each. I didn’t know if there was a method to go back and get this money back. I wouldn’t have bought the suddenly salad without my e-coupon but figured it wasn’t worth going to customer service.

    You can just go to shortcuts.com and cellfire.com and there are places there to tell them what coupons did not come off. I know shortcuts will just add a coupon to your card for the value that did not come off. (For example you will see a coupon with a grocery bag that just says $.40 off your next purchase.) I am not sure how it works with cellfire b/c today is the first day I have had to contact them. Let me know what happens!

    I just tried Kroger for the first time yesterday and the cashier would not let me use all four of my internet coupons for the pizzas. She said I could only use one of each item. So, 2 of my pizzas I didn't get the extra $1.00 off, but the catalina did print.
