    I got this coupon two days ago from Target and was stunned! I’ve never gotten a coupon worth that much from a catalina before. 🙂 This will definitely be put towards my Christmas stash.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Did you have to buy anything special?

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I don’t think so. I only bought stuff I already had coupons for like travel sized items and make up and cottonelle wipes

  2. Tammie

    I got a coupon from Target too. It works I ordered my hard cover book last night with 17 pictures in it. It was easy I had them do the arranging of the pictures. It cost $8 and some change to have it shipped

    • Erin

      Wow–$8 shipping? I was going to use mine for a first day of school book, but maybe I’ll wait. Thanks for posting. I was just going to ask if it came with free shipping!

    • Roger

      Did you have to open a new account? I think mine said it was only for new accounts, so I gave mine away to someone.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        I used the coupon code for a free book with my existing account…

  3. Kelly

    I got this Catalina about 2 months ago! I couldn’t believe it cause I make these books for everything! Hope I get another one while shopping today!!

  4. Denise

    I got the same Catalina at Tom Thumb (Safeway) yesterday

    • COMama

      I too got the Catalina at Safeway. Not even a big purchase, only a couple of bucks in fruits, veggies & eggs. So excited!

      • Beth

        I got mine at Safeway. I bought 7 boxes of cereal, 2 boxes of cheez-its, 2 bricks of cream cheese, and a jar of salsa. I don’t know what would have triggered it but I’m not complaining.

  5. shannon

    What do you have to buy to get that catalina to print out? Would live to get one!

    • Kathi

      I have received two of them. Each one was when I bought a pack of Up &Up brand of Pullups from Target.

    • Tia

      It varies because I didn’t buy diapers and got one. I had mostly grocery and back-to-school items.

    • Houstonmama

      I got one and was thrilled! I bought grocery items like Old El Paso green chiles and Neutrogena bar soap with my Target debit card. Maybe the debit card triggers it? I didn’t buy any baby items that trip.

    • Cathy BB

      My friend and I had very different orders and both got the Catalina this morning. I don’t think either of us bought any baby products, mostly groceries, health and beauty, and paper products. I had about a zillion coupons; she had exactly one. =)

      I got a coupon like this early this year and used it to get a Mother’s Day book. I was bugged a bit by the shipping ($7-8), but it was still a great gift for my mom. She was so impressed!

  6. mrsswinehart

    I’ve gotten 4 in the last 3 months! They seem to print when you use a lot of coupons, but then again, there is no rhyme or reason to when they print.

  7. nickyB

    I got one 2 days ago & have no idea how to use it, but will figure it out

    • sonia ortega

      I got my coupon a week ago from Target. It was my first order ever at Shutterfly. I’m embarrased to say it took me about 2 hours to figure out how to arrange my pictures, choose a style and enter all my captions. It was worth the time though. I ordered a photo book for my nephew tonight and it looks great! Paid $8.26 for shipping…. Btw make sure to choose the 8×8 at the begining of your order. I tried to order the 8×11 thinking I could pay the difference and I had to start all over.

  8. Alison

    Got mine 🙂

  9. Mary

    I’m heading to Target this morning–I hope I get one! Thanks for letting us know 🙂

  10. Scrap Gal

    I got one but it said new customers only. I really wanted to make my mom a book but I’ve already got a shutterfly account.

    • Houstonmama

      Open another account for your mom! There must be a way to use that awesome coupon 🙂

    • melissa

      so do I, but it took my code.

      • Christie

        Same here. 🙂

    • Shannon

      Make the book on your account. Open up a new account and “share” the book. And just order it from the new acct! I did that alot last Christmas!

  11. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Shutterfly has been awesome! I got a $20 giftcard from Target when I registered for baby. Then I got another $20 giftcard when I bought clothes from motherhood maternity. Recently I got a coupon in the mail for a free book. They have really been rocking the deals for new moms!

    • Shannon

      Shutterfly is amazing with their promos! I get really good ones. Last christmas they sent me an e-mail that if I referred friends they each got a free 8×8 book and I got a 8×8 book and free shipping! Who wouldnt take up that offer!

  12. Sara

    I got a free Shutterfly book from strong moms a year ago when my son was born. He just turned 1 and they sent another code a $20 credit toward a photobook and I got another code for a free 8×8 book from Pediasure. I never signed up for anything from Pediasure but they are owned by the same company as Similac.

  13. Michelle

    I got one for buying happy baby puffs!

  14. merideth

    I got one, and I bought trial size cascade, clearanced school supplies, clearanced citronella candles, medela lanolin, and gerber nuk nursing pads. Not sure if it is something i bought that triggered it, but thought maybe that might help someone.

  15. Wendy

    I got one yesterday too, but didnt buy anything baby. I bought peanut butter, cough drops, 2 folders, a dry erase board, a shirt & a box of Axe.

  16. Christie

    I got a Catalina coupon yesterday from Target for an 8×8 book, but mine was for $15 towards the book. Jealous of those who got a free book! Mine says “new customers only” too, but I’m a long time Shutterfly customer and the code worked with my account.

    A tip; check out their special offers, right on their site. Most are tailored specifically to you, so you might get free shipping with a $30 order where others would get it with a $40 or $50 order. What’s nice is that they usually apply that prior to special offer codes in your account. Enter a special offer code as soon as you get one, it stays in your account until it expires. At check out, if it wasn’t applied to the order, you can click somewhere to see your offers and apply any that are applicable. Also see http://www.retailmenot.com for codes. 🙂

  17. Christie

    About StrongMoms… I signed up but didn’t see any offer for free birth announcements. My baby is 6 months old but I could use the announcements to make invitations for her 1st birthday. Am hoping to get more Similac coupons again, haven’t received any in awhile and am surprised I wasn’t already signed up.

  18. Allison

    I got one! Not sure how I will use it as I don’t have children.

  19. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I also received this catalina at the beginning of the summer and made a photo book of our family vacation this summer. I paid about $8 for shipping and well worth it! I was excited when I received another catalina two days ago with the same Shutterfly offer. It’s a very good deal!!

  20. DaisynDuke

    Just so you know, Shutterfly has really revamped their photo books and you can do all sorts of things with them. I got one several months back with a free Target catalina and you can add all kinds of “stickers” and page borders and words and different backgrounds, etc. etc. It is really great, and makes it worth the shipping price! A lot more options that most other sites I’ve seen. Got another one to use the other day, but I didn’t buy anything baby.

  21. nicole

    I got one last week. I didn’t buy anything specific.. general groceries/produce. No baby items, I did do several coupon deals and the free bread wyb oscar mayer meat deal. Mine said free with new account, so I opened one for my sister-in-law (who is staying with me) ordered a book for her as a gift, got a free card with code CARD4U and 50 free prints for the new account. The cost was $13 to ship all of it.

    Love Shutterfly books, I make them once a year- so this one is a bonus!

  22. melissa

    I got a $15 to spend on an 8×8 photo book catalina…. I didn’t buy anything baby related, some groceries and Disney Vitamins. They seem to be printing for everybody b/c the 2 ppl ahead of me got one and so did my mom who ck’d out at another register with just a broom and 12-pk Diet Pepsi.

  23. Emilytwinmom

    Oh I am so going to target then today! I have a few grocery items to pick up, and I just used the free code I got via email to make hubby’s grandmother an 8×8 book for Christmas! Yes, when you live on a tight budget you start stashing gifts early 😉 I love shutterfly books!!!

  24. Meghan

    Where do you find all these deals? There is something for everyone 🙂 Thanks, that will be perfect for me in about 8 weeks!!

  25. Priscilla

    I got one yesterday, no diapers or baby purchase, but I did buy Disney vitamins and bandages

  26. vicki

    Just thought i’d let you all know…since i was looking thru comments to find out how long it was good for… that after you sign up for the similac mom’s thing and enter the promo code on an existing or new shutterfly account, it gives you the expiration date. I am due Jan 23 and it said i have til march 27 to use the “$20 worth of baby cards & stationary” (and once you type it in, you dont have to save the code to re-enter it later…it’ll remember for you)

  27. Lin

    I got one last night from Target in Mobile, Al. I had purchased a few items such as veggies and ribs, as well as Aqua Fresh and Rimmel eye shadow.

  28. Dianne

    I got one the other day from Safeway. Grandson’s first trip to Disney. He’s using it to make his own “memory book”! Great timing!

  29. Sharon

    I got one today at target, My coupon said 15.00 to spend at shutterfly. It doesn’t say anything about having to spend it on a photo book. It’s just 15.00 dollars to spend, So excited , I ‘m using it to order prints.

  30. Vivi

    I got the $15 to spend on a 8×8 book…I bought Pampers, Disney vitamins, Cottonelle wipes, Kleenex, toy car for my son and some snacks

  31. Lynne Wright

    I also was fortunate to recieve one of these the other day at Target. I also had purchased some of the Cascade Trial Packs that are free after coupon.

  32. Cathy

    I received two Shutterfly coupins today at checkout, one at Target and one at Safeway. Both are for $15 off.

  33. Tina

    I got a code for $15 off a 8X8 photo book. I don’t plan on using it, so for anyone who wants to :

    CT33AWG7BKD0JJHTXK

  34. Jeaner29

    Thank you Tina! I used it! I find that Shutterfly is one of the better photobook companies to make books from. They have 100% satisfaction on their books, even if you were the one who goofed or didn’t like how the book turned out. They are a GREAT company that I am very loyal to. I make my books for my kids, family trips to document them, etc. I love them!

  35. MaryA

    Similac moms us great. My baby is 8 weeks old and starting just before she was born, I’ve received samples & check. They’ve sent more than Gerber and Enfamil ( I signed up for their programs too).

    So far, Similac has sent $50 ($5 each) of formula checks, two 1.5lbs Similac Advance, two 12oz Similac Sensitive powder containers, and black and white flash cards (to show the baby).

    I was impressed with their gererosity.

    • Jac

      Hi Mary, Do we have to register in Similac.com to get these coupons/formula checks?

      • Mary

        Yes, if you go to similac.com you’ll see an option to sign up for the Strong Mom’s program. I didn’t start getting coupons until 2 weeks before my daughter was born so they do look at your babies birth date. They also have a great phone app which I use to record feedings and sleep. If you’re breast feeding, it’s a great way to know which side to start on.

        • Jac

          Thanks for taking time to respond to my query. Appreciate it.

  36. Brandy

    I received one the other day and i bought just misc houselhold items (no baby items) but mine is for $15 to spend at Shutterfly. I’m halfway finished with my Christmas shopping so will check them out to see what items they have.

  37. Lindsay

    I received this catalina the other day and was very excited about it!

  38. Kari

    I received a catalina for a free shutterfly book and am currently working on one from my sons third birthday party at the park. YIPPEE!! This is actually my second time of getting one. The first time I used it to do a photo book for my daughters first birthday!

  39. Teri

    I just spent a long time putting together my photo book and at the check out I am told I can not use my coupon. I tried the 8×8 hard cover, then I tried the 8×8 soft cover. I have five extra pages, but am still under the dollar amount for either. Did I just waste my time?? Any suggestions?

  40. Jami

    I got one from Target a couple weeks ago for a free Shutterfly book. I was so happy and excited. I immediately input the code into my account. I went to use it today, and I found that it must have expired before I ever got to use it. I’m so bummed!

  41. kristie

    has anyone gotton one of these recently from target?
