Remember,  we’re still working on the Kraft, General Mills, Unilever CAT deal --- only buy the items that are on sale and really work for you this week --- you still have a couple of weeks to build up toyou’re your CAT.  This is a very unusual CAT deal --- first off its cumulative – and the register is keeping track. 
Spend $40 >>>> get $5 CAT
Spend $80 >>>> get $25 CAT
Spend $120 >>>> get $50 CAT

They’re all working on SHELF prices ----   Final costs on these get tricky to calculate, because of the cumulative CAT (that means that when you hit $40 you’ll get the $5 CAT, and then the register will keep counting – when you hit $80 you’ll get the $25 CAT and so on….. see why its tricky to figure out what the final costs are??? Bottom line, it ends up as a pretty darn good deal.

Cheerios, Kix, Lucky Charms, Total, Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs (really?? Is that cereal?)
Sale price $2.49

Target: Week of 6/20


Target is looking fine this week (haven’t bothered with them in a while either ---)_  The biggest good deal is the Old Spice.  Depending on how many coupons you have, you can make this a really good deal or a great deal:
