    What is the Catalina?

  2. Erin

    Was headed there tonight! Wonder if they roll?

    • Mia

      they do roll 😉

  3. Tracy

    Kroger Catalina’s always roll!

  4. Jane

    Is this working in Las Vegas ? On the liners 22ct?

    • Karmyn

      Coupon not valid on liners 14-22ct

  5. Stephanie

    I just tried this today. In Indianapolis they are $3.19. I used the coupons and bought two, but only the $2.00 Catalina printed:(

    • larry

      I got 2 catalinas monday, and tried yeterday and only got one, also in indianapolis

    • gabby

      I also only received one $2 catalina in CA

    Does anyone know if these are good to use after giving birth? I’m having a baby at the end of next month and was wondering if I should stock up on these.

    • LC

      Get pads with wings:)

    • Jesse

      Hi Heather, you really need the most absorbent pads for post partum. I actually sent my husband to buy the thickest, longest pads with wings after giving birth. At least for the first 2 weeks post partum. I think kotex pads are ok after your first month of giving birth. Just my 2 cents and 3 births on my resume 🙂

    • Maria

      Ask your nurse if they will give you any extras pads…the hospital ones are the best! And Kroger overnight are my favorite, better than all the name brands.

      • Just Me

        I totally agree with these ladies and tell soon to be moms also! Yes longest, thickest overnight with wings.

    • m

      After baby i prefered adult diapers (you can request samplers from depends, tena brand tena will even mail you high value coupons that you can get a package free) anyways pads shifted on me and i found them to rub. Some adult diapers are super thin so not noticable and soft. But i really liked them for the first week. Hope that helps!

      • Mindi

        Agree- adult diapers are THE BEST!!!

    • Stacy

      The hospital ones were perfect. Mine gave me a 2 week supply without asking for it. Got to get the longest most abosrbant ones. Never hurts to ask the hospital. Mine told me anything that was open in my room I could take home because they would just throw it away. That meant from pads to formula that wasn’t opened but they had to open the package to get the single serve ones out.

    • Vicki

      Avoid the dri-weave kind…I found they really irritated an already irritated area. 🙂

    • Heather

      Thank you all for the info 🙂

    You can get the Fiji 500 ml water bottles for free. They are on sale for a $. Use the .50/1 from the previous insert which will double making it free.

    • April

      A lot of Kroger stores stopped doubling. Mine did ;(

      • Ray

        Even if it doesn’t double, 50 cents isn’t a bad price for some Fiji water.

    • Kim

      It is a good idea 🙂

  8. GUEST C

    Does anyone know where to get the coupon? I clicked on the link above which led me to the Pick Up the Values website and then I clicked the U by Kotex symbol which took me to the U by Kotex official website. I am very confused, please help

    • Linda

      Login to Pick Up the Values and following directions to savings. They have about 30 coupons you can print.

      • GUEST C

        Thanks for replying and the info! 🙂

  9. Steph

    I have read that it is hit or miss on whether you get both to print at the register. Still a great price.

  10. Valerie

    I know this is a different subject but has anyone else had trouble printing from coupons.com for the past few days?? It keeps prompting me to download the coupon printer but I’ve already done that several times. This is so frustrating!

    • LC

      If you email coupons.com they have someone call you to help you out! Very friendly:)

  11. Judy Trac

    Hit or miss on both coupons to print out

  12. Tammy

    In Cincinnati only one $2.00 CAT printed for me when I bought two.

  13. Kasie Godfrey

    Do you only need to buy two products? On the description above it says for the 3$ catalina you need to buy three, so I’m confused!

    • Mia

      yes only 2

  14. Rachel

    Will this offer work at a Ralphs.?
    Im in LA Ca.

  15. Amanda

    Well unfortunately here there are several specific individuals that clear the shelves with coupons and resell the items on the for sale groups. That’s all they list. As soon as I saw this I knew the krogers would all be empty and I’d see it online. Sure enough, about an hour after this post I saw these posted online for sale. Makes me so sick and angry! They’re the ones that ruin it for us that coupon to afford to furnish our families with what they need, not use coupons fraudently. I’m lucky enough to live in a region that still doubles, but I know that will be gone soon thanks to them. I wish there was a way for them to get caught!

    I am in Bowling Green, KY. I was able to buy them last night. I bought 2 at a time and got a $3.00 and $2.00 cats back. I have read that some people are getting a coupon for $1.50 off 3. I did not get it.

  17. KellySavings

    Wow what am I missing. Today’s Michigan Kroger ad shows U Kotex on sale for $3.99 not $2.99. Bummer – $1.00 difference????

    • Kristen C

      There were some varieties for 2.99 and some for 3.99.

    • Sara

      Went today, and got 0 Catalina’s!

  18. Kristen C

    Just did this deal 3 times, in separate transactions. Able to roll all the catalinas. Easy moneymaker, and great donation items.

  19. ally

    I TRIED THIS AND IT ONLY PRINTED THE $3 CATALINA AND NOT THE $2 CATALINA. IS THERE A NUMBER OR WEBSITE I CAN CALL TO GET THE $2 CATALINA???

    • Leslie

      Wondering same! I did 3 transactions and the $2 printed out on 2 but not third.

  20. Debbie

    I found two of these packages on clearance for $1.69 before I read your post about the Catalinas. The Catalinas printed even with clearance pads! WOOHOO! How exciting to see that I can go back for more with the coupons you posted. I love using coupons and saving money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. ashley

    Rolled today in the Great Lakes region! The shelves were fully stocked too! I only did it twice. Bought 2, got both CATs, used them to buy 2 more with a filler of the Psst Cheese slices (2 packs @1.09 each, minus a BOGO from the coupon fairy), got the CATs again, used them to buy the rest of my list. I ended up spending $10 OOP for 4 boxes, cereal, cheese, bread, a pack of meat, a frozen skillet meal and a KickStart drink. Not bad at all! Hubby just started a new job so this helped out tremendously! I don’t know what we would do without couponing.

    I may go back when I get paid to do the deal a few more times. I have access multiple computers so I can get more coupons printed. I promise that I don’t clear shelves though, or sell what I get for free. Extras get donated to the local food bank. I’ve had to use it a few times myself so I like to give back when I can.

    • michelle

      hi, can u tell me which ones did u buy because i want to get both cat. because some people didnt get both and with a house full of girls these could really come in handy

      • ashley

        I bought the 18ct regular, white box.
