Here are a few deal ideas:
My Plan #1:
Buy 6 packages of Scotch Brite at $2.50
Use (3) $1/2 printable
Pay: $12 and get $5 cat back. So $7 for 18 sponges or .38 each
My Plan #2 (providing I can find the coupon books):
Buy 3 Hefty at $5.99
Use (3) $2/1 coupons
Pay $11.97 and get $5 cat back- so $2.32 a box!
Moneymaking Idea:
Buy 6 Scrubbing Bubbles $2.50
Use (3) $2/2 coupons (if you can find them!)
Pay: $9, Get a $5 cat back for the cleaning promo plus (3) $2 cats back from the overlapping Scrubbing Bubbles cat. So your total is a $2 profit!
**Reader Yin has already done this transaction and confirms it worked for her!
I’d love to know what great ideas you guys come up with!

In the 8/29 PG insert there was a BOGOF Mr.Clean, the liquids are $2.50 at my store.
Ok I will add Mr Clean. Good call Kelly.
I just got back from Vons and the scrubbing bubbles deal worked like a charm. I bought 6 @ 2.50 used (3) 2/2 blinkie coupons and got back the $5 cat and (3) $2 cats.
I also did another transactions.I used the BOGO on the Mr. Clean with some .75/1 coupons that I got in the mail.
This did not work at my store, when my total was below $15 after coupons but did work w/o Qs, Go figure.
Lynn, You can always call catalina directly and ask for the cat to be mailed. As long as you are certain the total was actually $15 before coupons.
What is the safeway monthly coupon book? Is it usually by all the adds, or customer service, or just in random places throughout the store?
Mandy they are distributed monthly and can be located anywhere in the store. I usually find them near the pharmacy or in the HBA aisles. They look like this:

My $5 cat didn’t print but I went to customer service and they gave me $5 on the spot… he said that they sometimes have issues with them not printing. I also used the e-coupons for glade and a $1/1 MQ so i ended up paying $.50 for the glade air effects ๐
Has anyone gotten the Catalina buying the soft scrub that is 1.99 with in ad coupon? It is not marked in the storeas particpatig.
Hi Jennie,
My store has the softscrub marked as being under the promo. I did not want it since I bought a ton of the softscrub for free when
K-Mart had the double Q promotion.
I did the scrubbing bubble shower cleaner today and it worked like a charm. They had tons of stock and the blinkie machine was slowly spitting out the Qs. But the manager told me that I cannot use more than 2 like coupons in 1 transaction. I think I will have to do 4 Scrubbing bubbles and one hefty trash bag the next time, so that I can get the cat and still get a deal.
How long will the scrubbing bubbles catalina be running? (The $2 on 2)
does this cat roll? I have 6 bogo mr clean qs. if i did 2 transactions, and used my cat from the first to pay part of the second would it still print another? just wondering still a newbie, here.
I did the scrubbing bubbles several times, using the cats from one to pay for the next, so yes, they are rolling!
I found $1.50/2 Chlorox wipes coupons at the pharmacy counter. If you can find them, makes for some cheap wipes after coupons/catalina. Should be 10.50 OOP for 6 wipes canisters, plus the $5.00 catalina will make it a net of $5.50 for 6 wipes canisters.
wow! this has been a great deal for me. the cats rolled, and i had the best qs. it’s alot of detail, but basically $25 for $193 of product the first day. you can see how i did it on my blog. then i went back and did some more the next day, for even more savings (i met a lady doing inventory who handed me 2 b2g1f qs for scrubbing bubbles). and the first night the manager helped me out by pointing out the $2/1 qs for hefty. it was like everyone was helping me to save more. wish all store employees, and company reps were like this. were like this.
How long will the scrubbing bubbles catalina run? I don’t see it listed under your Safeway catalinas. Thanks, you have saved me a ton of money.
As I said over there I don’t know how long it runs. I think it is through the 28th but I am not going to post it until I know for sure.
I just did the Hefty bags with the $2 coupons. Our signs said through the 28th.
