Ok, the Philadelphia Cream Cheeses & me just don’t seem to be working out well together. I ran back to Dillons today to get take advantage of the new Kraft Catalina and to my disappointment, it didn’t print. Has anybody else had trouble with their catalina printing? If yours didn’t print either, you can email Catalina Marketing HERE or call them at (877) 210-1917. I’ve had the catalinas not print several times in the past & I’ve always gotten my catalina in the mail after calling or emailing them with my receipt information.

Anyway, here’s a few more deals I spotted at Dillons today (all part of the Mega Event Sale):

Mentos Gum $1.00 (wyb 10 participating Mega Event items)
Use $0.55/1 Mentos Gum coupon from the 5/23 or 4/25 SS insert (doubles to $1.00
Final Cost FREE

Wishbone Salad Dressings 16 oz. $1.49 (wyb 10)
Use $0.50/1 coupon from HERE (doubles)
Final Cost $0.49

Scotch Brite Erasing Pad $0.57 (wyb 10) No coupon that I know of, but a good deal anyway

And Lisa spotted Johnson & Johnson Select Baby Products for $2.50 (wyb 10) and her store had $2.00 hangtag coupons making them only $0.50 (Thanks Lisa!)

I’ve also heard that the single serve can of Joint Juice is on sale for $0.99 and there’s 2 coupons that would make this a freebie plus possible overage (YMMV):
$2.00/1 Joint Juice Ready-to-drink Supplement or Drink Mix coupon from the 6/6 SS insert
$1.00/1 Joint Juice Ready-to-drink Supplement 7/11 SS insert

• And in other money-saving news for Dillons, I don’t know how long they’ve been doing this, but I confirmed at my store today that they offer a $0.05 credit for each Resusable Shopping Bag you use. That doesn’t sound like a whole lot, but believe me, the savings will add up!

And if anybody sees any great Dillons deals out there, let me know, I’ll be glad to post & give you credit!

• Final Cost $1.75 and got back a $2.00 catalina to use on my next purchase

Update: I returned to Dillons Sunday for a quick trip to pick up 4 last bottles of Kraft Salad Dressing from the Kraft Catalina deal (offer good through today) and I discovered what happened with my Daytona 500 deal. I thought the Kool-Aid Fun Fizzes were part of the promotion and when I went back today, I discovered a Daytona 500 tag was below the Kool-Aid Fun Fizz, but it was for a different Kool-Aid product which I didn’t catch. I took my receipt to customer service and explained what happened and they gave me back $3.14 with no problems. Thanks Dillons, you rock! 🙂

My Dillons shopping trip went exceptionally well except for one small wrinkle. This week they’re having their Daytona 500 sale (mix & match 10 participating items, get $3.00 off). Well, somehow, I screwed up (at least I think I did) and didn’t get the $3.00 off. I must have mistaken one of the 10 products as part of the promotion when it wasn’t. I’ll have to check next time I go, so I’ll know what the heck I did. 😉 Regardless, it was still a great shopping trip, I was very happy with my total purchase.
