Schnucks Accepts Competitor Catalinas

Just an FYI, Schnucks accepts competitor catalinas for specific products, but not for $ off your next order. Today they accepted my Walgreens catalinas after I emailed corporate.

For example, today they took the Free Always Walgreens catalina coupons and a $8 Cover girl Walgreens catalina.

Please be aware that the catalinas will not automatically go through, and requires a manager override so be prepared to wait. Most cashiers are not aware of the policy either, so it wouldn't hurt to have your own email from corporate available to present if there are any questions.

I would also warn the people behind you that it may take a while. If you are like me, you will warn the people behind you, who will not believe you (since you only have a few items), and then those people will get huffy when it really does take a long time. Oh well....you warned them!


Here is what corporate said to me in their email:

"Thank you for your message and for taking the time to send your inquiry.

We do accept the competitor Catalina coupons for specific items.
However, we do not accept competitor Catalina coupons for certain dollar
amounts off the next order/purchase.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to call our offices at
314-994-4400 and we hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Kind Regards,

Gilbert Tiemann
Consumer Affairs Representative
Schnuck Markets, Inc."

Freschetta Pizza Printable Coupon


Our family LOVES Freschetta frozen pizzas. Their crust is really doughy and fabulous, unlike a lot of other frozen pizzas, which often have thinner, cardboard-y tasting crust. I was delighted to find a Freschetta pizza printable coupon today!


New to Couponing!!

I am brand new to couponing and started keeping this blog as a way to keep track of my purchases and savings.

My goal is to set a realistic $130/week grocery budget, which feeds typically 3-4 adults (our in-laws are frequently over at our house) and a child.

I am keeping a separate budget of appx. $50/week for toiletries and other items. As I am currently pregnant, I hope that this budget can include diapers - we are now starting to stockpile.

Here's what I managed to buy this week.
