Because I went tonight and got Vanilla and Almond and no cat :( But I see strawberry in the photo! What did I do wrong? Should I go back and exchange the flavors for the plain honey bunches of oats? Will they be able to force the catalina for me? Help! Do different flavors of Honey Bunches of Oats print the cat still?

Also, always ask someone if there is any more in the back. Ideally, I would not ask a checker but someone who is actually stocking a shelf, they would have the best knowledge and would for sure get up and check for you. The rain checks are great, with the catalina expiring soon, it does suck that you might miss the BIG deal, but still .59 a box is not bad..and prob well worth it!! Good luck!!

It's definitely worth checking with your store manager. Also, if they run out, they should be giving you a raincheck for the item. The only problem is that you wouldn't get the catalina after Sun 3/21. I've asked for rainchecks with other deals, though, and it's worked great (as long as I can still use the coupon).

No joke, when things are on sale for a really good deal you have to be at the one here when the store opens, and even then they don't have enough product in stock for everybody, and they usually do not restock. I wish we had a better/bigger one so i could score some good deals! I’m really jealous of your Albertson’s.

They have extra flyers there, you just have to ask for them. They also gave him some extras to take home! Melissa - The doubles for the transaction I'd mentioned were only on the $1 coupons - Albertson's will only double up to $1 (so the $2 coupon couldn't be doubled). Your store then adjusted the $2 coupon down to $1.59 which was the sale price of the item. I should have accounted for that in my scenario...sorry about that! I'll update the post with that info. So, instead of $2 off, it's $1.59 off (but that's still better than $1 off 2 as the other coupon would be). It used to be that Albertson's would give you the overage (difference) between the coupon & sale price, but that policy has changed now.

Your husband rocks! Is he willing to teach classes for other husbands?? :) My hubby is quite proud of the fact that I save our family lots of money at the grocery store, but he just can't bring himself to use a coupon himself. I thought it was just a guy thing! But that's okay, I've always been the shopper and he takes care of the kiddos. Doesn't it feel good to be so stocked up? I paid $2.25 for my coupons on eBay as well and they should come in the mail today, so I'll be doing similar transactions. Jane WOW!!! Your husband rocks!
