I was thrilled with my $1 cheese that qualified for the Dairy Month Promo. I had 4 Crystal Farms cheese coupons, so I split into 2 transaction with a yogurt in each to get me to the 5 item requirement.
See my matchups HERE

4 Cheese $1 each
1 Delights yogurt $0.50
Total Paid $4.53, Earned $5 CAT

*I flaked and forgot to used $5 CAT from transaction 1
Total Paid $6.61
Total Saved $34.28
(Earned $5 CASH instead of CAT because shredded cheese rang up $3 instead of $2, so manager fixed immediately since she was bagging my groceries causing CAT not to print-deducted from total spent)
How did you do?
I did a second transaction at a different store when I was out and didn't get the cat. I asked about it and they produced a list that had the acceptable items for getting the catalina. The cheese wasn't on it. Oh well, at least I got one cat.
My first transaction the CAT did print for me. It was my 2nd transaction that that had the shredded correction while changed the code.
It even states in the flyer that it is part of the promo. They should honor it. Not based on me getting it, but they posted it in the flyer as part of the deal. Crystal Farms Shredded and chunk, not string cheese
Great job! I wish I had that cheese coupon!
Thanks! Cheap cheese makes me smile
I was really bummed at first because I used my Crystal Farms coupons another time (not as good of a deal) and we really could use some cheese. Luckily some awesome coupon person left one coupon on the shelf by the cheese . . . I was thrilled to be able to use it! I made sure to pay it forward and leave a couple of coupons throughout the store. I did pretty good today too. Picked up the Mac n Cheese, Goldfish and Oscar Mayer lunch meat.
I will go back tomorrow and point out that in their ad it says it is included and see what they can do for me. I would love to get the deal. I look at the flyer online so it makes it harder to see all the deals. On another note, my party pack for the the house party came, did yours? It is packed with items!

I'd like a coupon crystal ball to see when the best time to use a coupon is….
At least you were able to use the coupon another lovely shopper left. I like to do that too. I may not need an item, but someone else might.
Julie,
Just go to a coupon friendly store. They Should just give you cash. I hope it works out for you! Yes, mine came today too. I took a horrible picture to post soon. My husband wants to know where I plan to put it all since I just added a bunch of sweet baby rays to the stockpile.
My matchups are here: http://thewoodelves.blogspot.com/2010/06/farm-fresh.html We spent $5.92.
Thanks for sharing! Great trip! I almost bought the rotel too but maxed out on the coupon limit. I love the clearance carts!
Thanks for the tip. I'll use it when updating Code Coupon Discount
great shopping trip!
