Whew!  This Con Agra deal is killing me!  I ran two transactions:

1.  Seven OR popcorn, six cans Del Monte diced tomatoes w/ chilies and two 5 lb tubs of Papa Charlie’s Italian Beef.  This beef is selling for $12.99, so using the BOGO and $5 printables brought it down to $7.99 for 10 pounds of what the cs woman said is a great-tasting beef.  Should appeal to the family carnivores.  Del Monte produced a $2 cat.

2.  Assorted frozen crap to make my son and daughter (and, let’s be honest, my husband, too) shut up.

Total OOP on #1 was $1.40.  I used two $10 Con Agra cats and the printables.  OOP on #2 was .82 after a $10 cat and the $2 Del Monte cat.  I was going to bring in more coupons, but total’s already gone down faster than a crack ho.  Ended up with 2 $10 cats and four stickers for pots, so you could say transaction #1 was actually $11.40 (since I used up one of my cats).

Did you register with Papa Charlies?  Where else can you get 10 pounds of Italian Beef?  If you’re waiting to win the 780 smart quiz (with its Buona Beef catering package), your family’s gonna be  r  e  a  l skinny.

Tomorrow the GM cat deal starts (actually, it’s reported to be working already) and there are quite a few double dips.  Will post more tomorrow.  Also have to check out the Gain catalina at Meijer to make certain the the large size bottle of dish soap will be FREE.
