Shaws: A Hunting We Will Go

There are alot of people out there who are doing the Shaws thing way better than I am. But I needed to set it up for my brother-in-law, so since it was all typed out, I thought I'd share it with you.
Here's my plan at Shaw's this week (remember the week ends tomorrow -- sorry about that-- do your hunting quickly!!)
Conagra catalina going on (you remember how this works??)
Healthy Choice soups -- check the shelf price -- you need to add up to $25 on the shelf price to trigger the cat.
They're 10/$10 this week --- so should be free after cat without any coupons ---- anything you can throw at it in terms of coupons -- becomes a moneymaker --- food pantries LOVE this. Give, give give. You can only do this once per transaction --- you can't double it within a transaction.
Wesson Oil is also part of the Conagra deal --- on sale $2.50 a bottle -- check shelf price -- here the canola and the corn are $7.99 so we need 4 -- pay $10 get $10 back -- no coupons involved -- just free Wesson oil. Keep carrying it out of the store. You'll need to keep repeating transactions on this one.
Hunts diced tomatoes 10/$10 get the total up over $25 on shelf price -- then use the coupons from the 1/4 SS for .40 off 2
20 items get $20 cat back --- You can also work this deal with 10 and 10 and you generally will work out better off.
Fruit roll ups 5/$10 and Nature Valley granola bars 4/$10-- Buy 5 of each -- This is the only tricky deal in the mix -- for some reason, you will always end up better buying 5 of each and repeating rather than 10 and 10
There are tons of printable coupons on Pillsbury.com or Betty Crocker.com for these. Also the 1/4 GM insert had coupons. You'll get back a $10 and 2 $3.50 catalinas. Worst case scenario you're spending $22.50 without any coupons --- but getting $17.00 back -- with coupons you can get this down to free or even a moneymaker. This one triggers an extra cat for you.
Pillsbury Grands (the biscuits, the cinnamon rolls etc) 8/$10?? Buy 10 of them. Around here there are blinkie machines right next to them for $1.00 off 3 -- so use 3 of them Also there were coupons in the 1/4 GM insert and in the 2/8 that you can use if you have them. $12.50 less the coupons --- get $10 back in the cat. This should work out to free breakfast rolls (I'm thinking Palm Sunday breakfast, personally)This also includes Betty Crocker brownie mix etc at 5/$10 sale with a .50 coupon at Betty Crocker.com You'll need to buy 10 products to trigger the cat, that's all.
