Note:  If you want to run this deal, do not wait.  The cats are supposed to be $2 ones, not $5, and I very much doubt this will continue through Monday morning.

Been working the 2L pop catalina deal at Jewel all afternoon – phew!  What deal?  Glad you asked.  Buy the 2L bottles of any combination of 7UP, diet 7UP, A&W root beer, A&W diet root beer,  A&W cream soda, Sunkist grape and Sunkist strawberry.  That’s seven varieties in all.

You can run it a few ways, but I did 32 of each variety, paid $25 something (my brain is fried right now) for the first one and the cat machine spit out 8 $5 OYNO store coupons.  Remember, store coupons means no tax, which is great on a high tax item like soda.  Subsequent transactions meant you used the prior deal’s $25 in cats and paid .30 in high tax and got back an additional $15 in store cats.

If you want to run fewer transactions with larger numbers and want to use the 5% off your next transaction that gets generated with the first $5 cats, buy 80 of any of the above and you’ll get back $100 in $5 store cats.

I picked up 896 2L bottles using the 32 bottle method and 80 bottles using the one-time method.  These are special orders, for the most part, which will be picked up by the Lisle Township Food Pantry when they come in.
