Pathmark: Money-making General Mills Catalina Deal

Pathmark has a Catalina deal this week: Spend $35 on select General Mills products, earn a $8 CAT toward your next order. 8:35 is not usually a good enough ratio to tempt me, but this deal works on $35 of regular shelf prices, even though your oop is based on sale prices (and coupons). Unfortunately the Pathmarks in South Jersey cap their doubled coupons to $1, but it's still a great deal. Wish I hadn't used most of my Chex Mix coupons last week, but I was able to print a few.

3 Cinnamon Toast Crunch, $1.99 each minus $3/3 peelie MQ = $2.97
1 Trix, $1.99 minus $0.55 IP doubled to $1 = $0.99
2 Progresso, $1.33 each minus 2 $1.10 IP = $0.46
3 Chex Mix, $1.25 each minus 3 $0.60 IP doubled to $1 = $0.75
1 Betty Crocker cookie mix, $1.66 minus $0.50 IP doubled = $0.66
Total: $5.83
Earned $8 toward next trip

These CATs usually roll (i.e. I can do another deal and use the CAT to pay my oop), but I'm going to wait and have someone else on Hot Coupon World be the guinea pig...another reason why HCW is awesome :)

Cookies for snacks tonight! Woohoo! I was getting bored with salty stuff and really wanted some sweets.

Total spent so far: $235.31
Remaining on Acme GC: $25.00
Pending rebates: $88.63
