Shaws Deals: Don't Miss It!!

Wow oh wow.  Shaws has outdone themselves this week.  You will not believe your eyes on this set of deals.  The weekly sales look pretty good --- the catalinas look great ---- but the double and triple dipping that is possible with the catalinas -- is out of this world.
This is one of those times when you want to go to Shaws without your husband, without your kids -- and just keep running transaction after transaction until you just can't carry any more out to your car.
Essentially there are three overlapping catalina deals this week:
1. Unilever Catalina -- Buy $30 worth of qualifying product (you know that means pre-sale price) and get $15 catalina back.
2.  Unilever Beauty Product Catalina --- This one has a smaller sub-set of products that qualify -- Its basically Suave, Qtips, Dove, Caress, and Slimfast.  Spend $10 get $3, Spend $20 get $7 or Spend $30 get $12
3.  Kelloggs/Dr Pepper Catalina --  Spend $20 get $10.
There is also a smaller catalina on the Skippy All Natural Peanut Butter (the brown lid)  Buy 2 -Get $1.00. Remember Skippy is a Unilever product.
Essentially what this all means is:
Buy $30 worth of product that qualifies for the overall Unilever Deal and get $15 back -- but if all of those items are also qualifying for the Unilever Beauty Deal, you'll also get $12 back  -- for a grand total of $27 back (Anyone hearing the moneymaker alarm going off in their head??)
Buy $30 worth of product that qualifies for the overall Unilever Deal and get you $15 back --- and if $20 of it also qualifies for the Kelloggs/Dr Pepper deal -- you get an additional $10 back for a grand total of $25 back.  Cha-ching!!!
This is not the time to wander aimlessly around Shaws trying to dream up scenarios, ladies.  This is one of those times when it pays to have a serious battle plan....
First --- get yourself jumpstarted with a huge list of possible scenarios courtesy of the Shaws group at SlickDeals
Then -- go to another post courtesy of SlickDeals Shaw's Group ladies and download their Excel spreadsheet for calculating your own scenarios --- C'mon, its time to get over the Excel phobia.  The ladies have it all set up for you -- you just enter your pre-sale prices, sale prices, coupon values -- and it tells you how good the deal is.  It couldn't be simpler -- and it couldn't be a more valuable tool.  Try it.  You'll like it.
