First I will start by admitting that I am not the most savy shopper out there and that I would probably be classified as a Name Brand Snob ... but I still like to look for deals and have been using loaded and cut coupons (side note: it would be great if we could get a coupon class out here on the far west side - forest grove/banks/hillsboro) for the last few months.

Well, here is my experience yesterday:

While doing errands in town I decide to stop by Safeway and take advantage of the the $10 catalina on $25 worth of P&G products.  So with my little man in tow (21 months) we grab a cart and stock up on Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Bounce Drier Sheets, Dish Soap, Batteries (all on sale, all with the P&G promotion marked).  After we stock up we head to the check out ... I did out the club card (with loaded coupons) and my cut coupons I have) ... every thing rings up great and I still had spent over $25 on these products (since I wasn't sure if the catalina would print on the total before or after the coupons).  But when the casier hands my my receipt the Catalina did not print ... so I asked about it and the cashier (a young gentleman that acted annoyed with me) spent 5 or 6 minutes trying to figure it out then finally gave up and got a supervisor.

So the supervisor looked over the items and the receipt ... didn't have an answer ... but she did end up giving me $10 is cash rather than the catalina.

So ... long story short ... Check to make sure it prints for you (I usually am in a hurry and don't look to closely until I get home - I'm glad I took the time to check yesterday).  I hope you all have better luck with this than I did.
