Randalls is the place to be this week!

I was excited this morning when I saw the goodies Randalls had in store for us in the new ad. They have a mega deal going on that happens to coincide with a catalina deal running on Ozarka water. The mega deal gives you $5 instant savings on your order when you purchase 10 participating items. The catalina deal gives you a $2 oynso catalina for every 2 Ozarka Aquapods you buy. So combining these two promos, along with the .75/2 coupons we got in the inserts, I thought I would do quite well at Randalls. Well, things just got better once I got there! I was ready to just buy the 10 Aquapods per transaction and roll the catalinas to get free water, but imagine my suprise when I got to the first store and on each and every package of my Aquapods was a peelie for $1 off produce when you buy 2 Ozarka multi packs!
Here is my breakdown of the three transactions I did today:

Transaction #1:
10 Ozarka Aquapods @ 2.00 each = $20
1 Eating Right water $1
1 Cucumber .99
1 bunch Green Onions .99
3 Fuji apples $1.91
1 Yellow onion .83
1 2lb bag carrots $1.49

On my Randalls card, I have a current promotion of 10% off every transaction until May so when they scanned my card it took off $2.72 right away so
-$2.72 for 10% savings
-$5 for mega deal
-$5 for 5 $1 off produce coupons wyb 2 Ozarka
-$3.75 for 5 $.75/2 Ozarka
-$1 Eating right store coupon
- .23 tax
Total cost paid in cash : $9.51
This transaction earned 5 $2 oynso catalinas and a $1/2 Ozarka multi pack catalina

Transaction #2:
10 Ozarka Aquapods @ 2.00 each = $20
1 Warm Delights single .99
3 Bananas .48
2 Naval Oranges $1.40
1 Green pepper $1.49
2 Russet Potatoes $1.99
1 Altoid mints $1.25*

-$2.66 for 10% bonus
-$5 for mega deal
-$5 for 5 $1 off produce coupons wyb 2 Ozarka
-$3 for 4 $.75/2 Ozarka
-$1 for $1/2 Ozarka catalina(from first transaction)
-$8 for 4 $2 oynso catalinas(from first transaction)
-.99 for Warm delights(promo comes off when your card is scanned)
-.89 tax
Total cost paid in cash: $1.06 and earned 5 more $2 oynso and 1 $1/2 Ozarka catalina
*I had to throw in the Altoid because I went negative giving her 4 catalinas to pay

Transaction #3:
10 Ozarka Aquapods @ 2.00 each = $20
1 Warm Delights single .99
1 clove garlic .50

-$2.05 for 10% bonus
-$5 for mega deal-
-$3 for 4 $.75/2 Ozarka
-$1 for $1/2 Ozarka catalina(from second transaction)
-$8 for 4 $2 oynso catalinas(from second transaction)
-.99 for Warm delights(promo comes off when your card is scanned)
-.66 tax
Total cost paid in cash: $.79 and earned $20 in catalinas*
*This was at a different store and I tried to get more produce but cashier insisted I could not use the produce coupons and the Ozarka so she voided the transaction and rerang without the produce. When she handed me the catalinas, she handed them from this transaction and the voided transaction. When I told her I only get the ones from the completed transaction, she told me to just keep them since she was going to have to throw them away, woo hoo for me.

So I spent oop:
$9.51 + $1.06 + .79 = $11.36 cash and still have $24 worth of oynso catalinas and 2 $1/2 Ozarka catalinas. Looks like I will be spending the week at Randalls!

Wow ZM that was great! Does every Randall's card holder have 10%?

Monica M. said...

How did you get the 10% off on your card, and how/why did you get the $.99 off for the Warm Delights?

Thanks!

Courtney said...

Great RUN! I was planning my deal for Randalls tomorrow. Thanks for the info on the peelies for produce, I'll keep a look out for these :)

Melissa said...

Can we say I'm a little thirsty after reading all this? ;) Keep up the good work, ZO!

The opportunity to save 10% on my shopping orders was presented to me so I could not turn down such a GREAT offer.
Mahsa, the warm delights is in a cardboard display in the dairy section and says free with club card. Scan your card and the .99 comes off instantly, no coupon needed.

Still How did u get ur ten percent off how were u offered it

When new stores open up or old stores have re-grand openings, they pass out all kinds of GREAT coupons and offers. I happened to be in Katy shopping at 2 of them when they were holding one of these events in Nov-Dec sometime. I was even able to get my kids picture with Santa for free :)

I've just been to do this. No produce coupons to be seen, but great savings on the water. I have 20 cases so far and will be heading back out this afternoon once the kiddie's wake up. Thanks again for the lead ZM!

This one is making my head spin.
I'm glad I don't have to figure this one out yet. Grandbaby not old enough yet anyway.

Where did you find the .75/2 coupons? I could not find them in this weeks' Randalls flyer.

katycouponers said...

The .75/2 is an insert coupon from 2-8 RP.

Kimberly said...

Great job!! Off to do my 2nd Safeway run here:) I started at $8 OOP and I'll be rolling cats for more water and 100 calorie granola bars at nothing OOP. Wish I could find the $1 produce peelies, but no luck so far. Safeway/Randall's has been super with the deals lately!

i just got my first 10 packs of water. i only had 3 .75/2 coupons, so $12.75 oop, but by the time i roll the cats twice more and end up with 30 packs of water for less than $21, it's still a great deal! i couldn't find the produce peelies at my randall's.

Hi - just found your blog and find your deals very interesting! Just wanted to say that your pictures come off a little hard to see. If you take a pic without the window in the background they will be much better. Hope you found this helpful and not snotty. Someone told me this recently and it sure shaped up my pix. Thanks.

Rachel, thanks for the comment on the pics. Unfortunately if I take the picture from another angle I will have to clean off more of the table or my house, lol.
