  2. Here in Meridian when I need extra doublers, I buy more papers at Winco or Walmart where you can get a Sunday paper for $1.50 or less. With the catalina promo going on, my $1.50 investment can turn into a $4 to $5 savings plus bonus coupon inserts.

  4. Jessica,

    I just got back from Albertsons the catalinas from the promo are printing as "STORE COUPONS" you wont be able to use them with your TTV coupons.

    1. none of my catalinas were store coupons- every single one was manufacturer's coupon, and all that were $1 doubled. Good deal.

  6. Hi Jessica, I clicked on the 1/3 hunts tomatoes and can't figure out where to get the coupon. I am a registered user on their site. Please help.
