Ok I had every intention of going back through the Kmart ad yesterday and putting together a great scenario for catalina promotion this week. But after spending an entire day on Kmart, then doing Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid and Target- all the numbers and coupons were seriously running together in my brain! BUT reader Becky E. has rescued me with a seriously awesome deal she not only put together but has already done! Yeah!
So here is the deal:
*There is a catalina promotion running- Spend $30 precoupon on select items and get a $10 cat for your next purchase or spend $20 and get a $5 cat. All of the items are listed in the monthly ad HERE on pages 12-13.)
*There is also a separate mail in rebate, I told you about HERE for Georgia Pacific items. Get $5 back when you spend $20 on select items.
This works out to a great deal because many items overlap. So here is what Becky did:
(2 )- 12 packs Quilted Northern TP at $7.49
(1) – 8 roll Brawny Paper Towels at $7.49
(2) – Soft Scrub cleansers
(1) – Right Guard Deodorant $2.50
Subtotal: $30.95
Use (2) $1/1 Quilted Northern Coupons HERE
Use (2) $1.50/1 Soft Scrub coupons from 3/7 RP
Use $1.50/1 Right Guard coupon (hopefully you printed this when I told you about it HERE)
After doubles the new total is $18.47 + tax
Now you will get a $10 catalina back from Kmart for your next transaction, plus you can submit for the $5 rebate HERE!
Personally I think she did a great job! Thanks Becky!
See all the Kmart deals HERE.

WAY to go Becky!!!! GREAT deal idea, good shopping!!!
Chris says
Just an FYI, I tried using the Quilted Northern manufacturer coupon that you can print from Target’s website and the store manager refused to accept because it had the Target emblem on the coupon. I even tried to call corporate and they just said that they have to support what the store manager said.
Charlene says
Hi Chris- I make that disclosure on every post I do with Target coupons but I suppose I should add that here as well. Sometimes I feel like it is information overload when I include every single detail. The feedback I have thus far from readers seems to be about 90% CAN use the coupons with the Target logo and about 10% can not- so YMMV.
Stacy says
I tried a similiar deal today buying 5 northern for $37.45 and didn’t get a $10. rebate/catalina/gift card. Was this in a flyer somewhere? Thanks, Stacy
JANELLE says
Well first I want to say thank you for posting this! And second I have to tell you on how my Kmart has really peeved me off!! I did the whole scenario like listed. It should have worked wonderfuly also! But no catalina came out! I asked about it and you know what they said “ohhh… that thing. We have been out of paper for all the registers for almost 2 weeks. I didnt know anything worth while came out of that!” I went to the service desk with my reciept. They still didnt want to give me anything back. Finally they gave me a gift card. I just couldnt believe it! I wounder how many other people have missed out at my store!
But after all that thank you for the putting this together! LOL
Charlene says
Stacy if you read the top portion of the post it will take you directly to the ad this promotion was featured in.

About the Target logo, the Kmart near my house refused it because they said ‘Target doesn’t accept our coupons, so we don’t accept theirs.’ On a positive note, they have been accepted at Rite Aid (I print them in black & white only….so the red Target logo doesn’t stand out). Hope this helps.
Jennifer P says
I have read on several sites that you have to submit for a rebate form for a $10 pre-paid MasterCard gift card. Is this a different deal? The one I am talking about is a P&G deal.
Charlene says
Oh Jennifer that is the other one. This one is for a catalina. The other is the P&G Mastercard deal. The mastercard deal is in the weekly ad and this one is in the monthly ad.
Sheila says
Don’t forget the Georgia pacific rebate with the quilted northern and brawny products
Kelly says
Regarding the catalina, the fine print in my circular says the following : “$20 or $30 purchase must be … after other discounts are applied.” I’m not sure how Becky was able to get her deal, but maybe this is why it is not working for others? Certainly makes it harder to meet the minimum spending requirement if/when it is AFTER your double coupons.
Charlene says
Kelly that is possible but there can be many reasons it isn’t printing for some. I believe one person mentioned the paper had not been filled in the machine for several weeks at her store and apparently they just didn’t care. I think that is the more likely explanation because if it triggered a cat for her once she hit the precoupon total it should trigger for everyone.
Yunnie says
Yeah, tried to do the same thing today, nothing printed…because of the coupons. What a headache! Do I really want to spend so much for toilet paper when I can just pay less than $20 for 36 double rolls at Sam’s Club? These things are not worth the hassle sometimes….
Sara says
Thanks so much for this scenario! I did it this morning and it worked for me (I substituted the paper towels for more toilet paper).
I was wondering if anyone knew if the $10 catalina is rolling.
Lauren says
Thanks for this great scenario! I did a very similar deal today and I want to submit for the Georgia and Pacific rebate but I am concerned about the wording on the form. It says:
“$20 after discounts and credits (gift cards can be used)”
I spent $21.16 on the rebate items and used (2) $1/2 coupons that doubled to $2/2. Do I need to buy additional items?
Cheryl says
On the P&G Mastercard deal, is the $25…. before coupons?
There is no subtotal on the receipt.
Thanks,
Cheryl
I bought 4 OralB toothbrushes $2 for $7 for $14
One Always Ultra $7.27
One regular Always $3.59
One PUFFs $2.09
So over $25.
they would only take one B1G1 for the Oral B
plus a $2 Oral B (which was doubled)
Had a B1G1 for the Always too plus a $2 (dbled)
Had a $1 on the Puff (dbled)
with tax this came out to $12.30 (approx)
plus $10 gift card
IF the offer is BEFORE coupons…
thks,
