Great McCormick printable coupon

Right now on coupons.com, there is a printable coupon for $1 off ANY McCormick Spice, Herb, Extract or Food Coloring item(use zip code 45202).
This coupon should make some spice packets free just about everyday at Kroger or Randalls, but you might want to print these now(while available) and keep them handy for later in the month, for a potential money maker on extracts and coloring(or at least make them free!)
Bamalady on HCW has a list of potential catalina deals that should be hitting stores later this month. Unfortunately, the list does not tell what store, but Kroger and Randalls seem to run the same promos, so with luck, we can profit and get some McCormick along the way!

For those without a Safeway or Kroger, these catalina deals might be available in your grocery stores that offer catalinas. Please let me know if anyone gets the informational catalina in the coming days and at what store, so we can all benefit.

The offer I am refering to is as follows:
Purchase two (2) McCormick Extracts or Coloring, Receive $1.50 OYNO
Purchase three or more (3+) McCormick Extracts or Coloring, Receive $2.50 OYNO
runs 3/19 – 4/11/10

Thanks Bamalady for the list of catalinas.
Readers, I suggest you cut and paste her list and take with you to the store for a guide on signs to look for.

Randalls run March 10th

WOW!!!! Randalls has some great deals going this week.

First, the frozen food deal is still going strong(this is a month long offer). I decided I really like the Smart Ones and they make an easy lunch for me to warm up and eat at work. For those that are not aware, Randalls is giving a $10 on your next shopping order catalina for purchasing $25 in participating products(specially tagged in the store).

Next, Randalls has 2 Save $5 when you buy 5 items promotions going on right now. One involves salad, salad dressing, mushrooms etc. (these are in the ad and stores have a sheet listing participating products). The Marie's refrigerated dressings are included in this and are just $.99 when you buy 5. Well, some lucky ducks(not Houston) got $1 insert coupons in their 1-31SS. For those in Houston, good news! There is a printable for $1 off making them free(wyb 5 part. products).
Fresh Express salads are also part of this promotion and I hear rumors of $1 blinkies out but I have not had luck finding any yet.

Third, the promo I mentioned last night with the cereal. There are many items on the cereal aisle that are part of this $5 off 5 promo (again, specially marked in the store). I was SUPER excited about this promotion because Quaker Oat Squares cereal is part of the promo. This is my dh's second favorite cereal(Cheerios being #1). Well, when you buy 5 mix and match items, it makes the Quaker Oat Squares only $1!!!!! Even better, we have INSERTS for $1 so FREE!!!!!!!!!! (2-14 RP)
Also included in this promotion: Honey Nut Cheerios $1.50, Chocolate Cheerios $2, Nut Clusters $1.50, Reese's Puffs $1.50, Apple Jacks $1.50, Froot Loops $1.50, Corn Pops $1.50, Betty Crocker fruit snacks $1, Kellogg's fruit snacks $1 and many other items(prices listed are assuming the $5 savings when you buy 5)

Keep in mind, for the second promotion, the limit is 20 (4 $5 discounts) items per transaction. It is a TRUE mix and match and should work for different price points(it did for me)

Now, to break down my transactions. For ease of math, I am going to give the price AFTER the $5 promotion came off. This should give you some ideas of some deals you can score.

$2.91 overall cost for the day

Unless the ad states, limited to quantity on hand, you can get rainchecks.

Randalls Cereal deal that expires TONIGHT!

Sorry, I didn't find about this deal until late this afternoon, and I don't have time to post pictures and still give you a chance of hitting the stores before the deal ends, but,
Randalls started a deal today for $5 off instantly when you purchase 5 participating items. Of those, there is a double dip deal that ends tonight.
There is a catalina promotion where you earn $4 oynso for purchasing 5 boxes of Kelloggs Cereal.
Today, when I went to Randalls, there was a blinkie for .70/1 box of Kelloggs Froot Loops, Corn Pops or Apple Jacks. All 3 of these are part of the $5/5 deal AND the $4 Catalina.
This is how my transaction went:
5 Boxes of cereal $2.50 each = $12.50
- 5 .70 blinkies = -$3.50
-$5 wyb 5 boxes
$4 oop and earn $4 oynso back!!!!!!

5 boxes of cereal for FREE!
The $5/5 deal goes throughout the week, but the catalina deal ends TONIGHT! Sorry for the short notice.
I will get the rest of my deals posted later tonight

*Thank you Courtney for reminding me there was a catalina deal. You keep me on my toes.

Kraft First Taste - Check your accounts

Kraft First Taste has a great offer right now for Philadelphia Cream Cheese minis. Hurry, because as the supply exhausts, you will probably only get $1 coupons or lower. Good luck! The site was running slow for me, but I got in.
