If you shop at Winn Dixie, pay attention to the catalinas that print out after your receipt. Don’t know what a catalina is? It is basically a coupon that you can use on your next transaction. These coupons can range from $5.00 off of $30.00 to specific coupons to put towards specific items. My reader Randy emailed me about the $5.00 off when you buy 4 Totinos Pizza Rolls catalina he received. Since his Publix accepts Winn Dixie as a competitor, he was able to use the $5.00 off catalina at Publix. AND, since Totinos Pizza Rolls are B1G1, he got an excellent deal!
So, pay attention to the catalinas you receive. If you receive a $10.00 off of $50.00 catalina and your Publix accepts Winn Dixie coupons, then know that you have the option of using your coupon at Winn Dixie OR Publix! 🙂 Don’t throw the catalinas away. They are like gold (for me at least)!!
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Is there a rhyme or reason to the days they spit out? I heard, Fri was the day to go. I typically just hit Publix, Walgreens and CVS. I just don’t have time to do more.
Hey Candace – Sometimes there are deals that print out specific catalinas (example: a couple weeks ago catalinas printed out if you bought McCormick Grinders). But beyond that, a lot of the catalinas that print out have no rhyme or reason. And, I NEVER get the $10/$50 or the $5/$30 catalinas while my friend ALWAYS gets them. Sorry, I don’t have a definitive answer for you. I don’t know if Friday is the day to go but I may try to see what happens. Ha!
