  1. Sjack

    Can i use this this Catalina right after my purchase ?

    • Yvonne

      I believe so or I do at least

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes, you can use the Catalina coupon on your next transaction. 🙂

      • marissa

        I bought earlier 2 Cotonelle and 1 Viva, and my receipt had earned 2,000 points.

    • Rachel

      I brought the Cottonelle and there was no $3 Catalina that printed.

  2. Julie

    could I use today’s catalina to buy tp tomorrow?

    • Heidi R

      I was wanting to ask the same thing. If I buy the paper towels today and get a catalina can I use it tomorrow when I buy the toilet paper? I know I can, but will it print out the catalina for the toilet paper or will using it make my catalina not print?

      • CJ

        Also wondering because the catalina says mfg coupon do I need a filler?

  3. amy

    How are these papertowels??

    • Ketsy

      Second best to Bounty. They feel more like charmin toilet paper to be precise. Towel like soft and not the cheap rough surface like Scott. HTH

    • Tilla Ham

      according to my daughters science experiment they were the most absorbent by a long way of any brand she tested…brawny, bounty, store brand, viva…viva won all 5 trials

    • Melissa

      They are by far my favorite paper towels. So durable!

    • Toria

      Definitely the favorite in my household, hands down!

  4. Rei

    Just got back from doing the viva deal….no $2 coupon at my store but still awesome! Also if you buy a $25 kmart gc, you get a $5 bonus gc. I bought the gc first and used it to buy the paper towels.

    • Sophie

      You also get 2000 bonus points when you buy the gift card (on top of the $5 bonus GC). Paid $2.97 for 3 packs of Viva (didnt use any manu coupons) and got $4 catalina.

      • Sherri

        I just went and bought the $25 gift card and got the bonus $5 card. My receipt does not show the 2000 bonus points. How do I know if I received those points?

  5. Jenny Bosse

    that is a awesome deal! I usually don’t shop at kmart, I think i should start

  6. Toria

    If you get your total up to $25, then your $1/1 coupons will double, making this a money maker if your find the tearpad, and free if you don’t.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great tip! 🙂

    • Sherri

      I went and bought 6 of the $1.99 coke bottles, 3 paper towels and 2 packs of the Joe Boxer socks to get to a $25 total. When the cashier scanned my coupons they did not double. Customer service said that it was because the paper towels were on sale? Has anyone heard this before?

      • Kristin

        No, it’s because you have to purchase $25+ in groceries, health and beauty. The paper towels counted but the socks did not.

        • Sherri

          Oh man that stinks. I was not aware of that. I wish the cashier would have been informed of their policy and told me. I would have grabbed a few other items. Lesson learned. Thank you!

        • Jackie

          Would the glade deal fall in this category to receive credit for $25 minimum?

  7. Pam

    do catalinas roll at Kmart?

    • melanie

      following!!!!!! and is there a limit?

    • Toria

      Yes, they do! I rolled mine over and over (used store coupon, but no man. coupons). I had to add 50-70 cents clearance items (hair accessories) to bring my total to $4 and then used my $4 catalina and paid 25 cents. Did that 5 times. Amazing deal! Gave every single Viva pack (15) to a family that’s having a rough time financially—just put them on the porch with a note. 🙂

  8. doreenb79

    there is $1.50 off cottonelle tp 12 pk in the “pick up the values” link for viva paper towels 🙂

    • estela

      the 1.50 for cottonelle is for the toilet paper and wipes

    • Kim

      Must buy cottonelle moist wipes also to get the $1.50 off though

  9. Koala

    Is this an unadvertised sale? I’m from Hawaii and I don’t see it on the Sunday paper.

  10. Susan

    Thank you so much for posting this offer Collin. I had to ask for the $2.00 Kmart coupon because they weren’t on the shelf and after waiting a bit, they were found. Thank you for 18 free rolls of Viva towels and a $4.00 catalina.

    • Jaybee

      What state are you from? Ugh I went to 2 k marts asked about the $2 dollar coupon and they all looked at me like I was crazy. What did you ask for?

  11. CJ

    The deal did not play out for me they told me the 3.99 ad price was with the instant savings already deducted

    • Sandra

      They were wrong. The register automatically takes off another $3 at the end of your transaction when they total it.

      • marissa

        Just got back from Kmart and found the $2 off at the customer service counter. Bought 3 Viva, $3.00 was not automatically deducted but the supervisor deducted it anyways, used the $2 off, paid $3.33, and got $4.00 catalina. did two transactions.

  12. Leslie

    The Catalina didn’t print for me. Between 4 bottles of purex & 3 paper towels my total was $4.78 after tax. Not entirely sure how it got that way, but I’ll take it as payment for the 25 minutes I patiently waited while they figured out what was going on. Kmart was a *hot* mess this morning!

    • Linda

      Actually, Kmart is always a hot mess; I never get through the checkout line without problems.

      • Lisa

        My Kmart is horrible!! I went today to get the Viva only to find out that one person took 16 packs of the paper towels leaving the shelf empty. Not cool!!

  13. Melissa

    I just scored this deal on Viva and Purex and I’ll go back tomorrow for the Cottonelle deal to use my catalina. Thanks so much Colin! It was the last 3 sets of paper towels at my store so I’m so glad I went when I did!

  14. Cheryl

    Worked perfectly for me! $3.81 money maker after tax…thanks so much for the heads up!!

  15. Courtney

    There was also a deal on the 150 fl. oz. Purex detergents at HyVee. They were $3.99 and coupon.com had coupons for $1.50 off two. Bringing them down to $3.24 each, each of them doing 100 loads. Less than .03 cents a load. I don’t even think you can MAKE your own detergent for that much.

  16. Natalie

    Anyone having problems printing the Viva coupon?

    • Lacey

      Me! It’s not listed on my end.

      • Natalie

        Ugh! Frustrating! I have one from the SS insert but I would like to print 2 more. I’m just hoping that they have the $2 in store coupon. Even without it it’s a fantastic deal!

    • ashley820

      I am, it’s not showing up!

    • Stefanie

      I’m not seeing it, either 🙁

  17. Newbrc83

    I had trouble using the Catalina after coupons on the second purchase. They said I could only use either the manufacture coupon or the Catalina but not both. Precisely why I never shop Kmart. Always a hassle!

    • 2firm2lose

      I didn’t get the catalina and my coupons didn’t double since the gift card that I purchased with it didn’t count towards the purchase. I agree Bewbrc83 Kmart is alway a hassle.

      • Newbrc83

        I think you had to purchase the gift card separately and then use it to pay for the paper towels. Maybe?

    • Morgan

      That is what happened to me…

      • Pam

        The deal worked fine for me this afternoon. I purchased 3 packages of the Viva towels, used 2 1.00 manufacturers coupons, and it took the extra 3.00 off instantly. They didn’t have any of the 2.00 coupons, but was still a great deal.

        • Rose

          I’m from NC, and my K-Mart would only let me use 1 manufacturer’s coupon on 3 packs of Viva paper towels. When the cashier tried to scan the coupons, it would only accept 1. I had $6.77 worth of points, so that helped. I did get the $4 Catalina, and I got the $3 instant reward.

    • Newbrc83

      Only thing I can think is that the register flags it as another coupon and only allows one coupon per item, so I would have to grab something as “filler” to make it work? I don’t know of anything that’s really cheap there though!

      • j

        kool aid or pencils maybe

    • Ketsy

      It seems to me like you didnt do the correct transaction. You have to purchase $25 gift card alone and get the extra $5. Then you go get your items and have to have $25 in household goods which includes food area, beauty and even baby supplies (diapers, wipes, etc.) for coupons to double. Some times I have issues but since I go there all the time and they know me, then I get some type of resolution with it whether a printout, discount, gift card, etc. If you aren’t loyal to these places with loyalty cards, then they are not loyal to you.

    • Leah Tolbert

      I know, it’s always a hassle at my store..they wouldn’t let me use more than one of the $2 tearpad coupons for cottonelle wipes..even though it stated up to 5. I just told them to void it all and left lol.

      • Sophie

        I gave one coupon for the Viva towels and that coupon took $2 off each pack, so maybe the Cottonelle one works similar? My cashier said it would take it off only once, I said I don’t think so as it states limit 5, asked if she could scan it and voila it took it off each package.

  18. Alice

    No Catalina coupon for me in fact my Kmart took the paper towels off the shelf. You had to go to the customer service desk to get it and they would not let you use the Kmart coupon.

  19. deanna

    The $1.00 off Viva papertowels when you share is gone. :O(

  20. Pam

    The deal worked fine for me this afternoon. I purchased 3 packages of the Viva towels, used 2 1.00 manufacturers coupons, and it took the extra 3.00 off instantly. Received the 4.00 catalina.

  21. axhilli

    I looked around and even asked and they didn’t have the $2.00 Kmart coupons at my local store but I was able to get 18 rolls for $5.87 after coupons and I got back a $4.oo catalina. I don’t need paper towels but I like stocking up on them lol.

  22. Jane

    Worked well for me!! The 2 off coupon was right next to the paper towels. I picked up 15 packs. I’ve been needing to stock up on these. I ended up making over four dollars. Thanks so much! =)

    • axhilli

      Wow 15 packs, I couldn’t find any Kmart coupons at my local store. You won’t need papertowels for awhile!!

    • Newbrc83

      Did you use the Catalina on each transaction with your coupons too? Mine wouldn’t allow the Catalina after coupons. Maybe scan the Catalina first?

      • Tenya

        You need a filler with the catalina. It counts as a coupon.

  23. Kris

    Usually I stay away from Kmart at all costs, but this was worth it. The deal worked fine for me, but at the register the hand scanner didn’t work & the pay pad was marked “broken.” Typical Kmart experience. Thanks for the post, however, because I do appreciate a good paper towel deal.

  24. Tammy

    I went to my local Kmart(PA) and tried the Viva deal but, my $4 catalina didn’t print. They took my name and number and said the manager would look into it and get back to me. Hopefully I will get a call!

  25. Anne K.

    I went at 1 oclock today and the shelves where cleared of the Viva didnt get my deal but it was worth a try 🙂

  26. Heather

    For those that didn’t get the $4 Catalina coupon, you can email catalina here: https://support.catalinamarketing.com/ I have used this often. I always upload a scan of my receipt. I usually get the missing cat mailed to me in about 10 days. There is one register at the Safeway that I shop at that is broken and I forget about it until I don’t get the cat I was expecting. This way is much easier than calling.

    • Becky

      THANK YOU!!!!

    • Jenn

      Yes thank you!! I hope I end up getting my catalina! 🙂

  27. jean

    This deal worked GREAT for me! Our store had a huge stack of the $2 off coupons! Final cost after sale,instant savings.and coupon was $3.19 and got back a $4 catalina.so this was a money maker for me! GREAT DEAL! THANKS!!!!

  28. Sarah

    I was able to get the paper towel for $0.09 but had to pay $6.00 for the Purex since cashier and manager wouldn’t let me use my $4.00 Catalina. Still a great price for everything.

  29. Alicia

    Thanks for the awesome deal! My kmart didn’t have any $2 off coupons out so I asked a worker about it. After talking to the manager, she said they had been out for awhile but the manager would accept the picture of the coupon. She told the cashier to just type it in and I could use it as the terms stated! 🙂

  30. Julie

    thanks so much! I went and there was 1 $2 kmart coupon. When I checked out the one coupon took of $6 (2 for each pack!) so great! With my manufacturing coupons it was free and then I got a $4 catalina! Woohoo for better than free paper towels. Hoping I can use the cat tomorrow for tp. Anyone know if it will not print a cat for the tp if I use the cat from the viva tomorrow?

  31. Jane

    So….still here after an hour:) Not a single employee knew how to ring up the gift card deal, so they just issued them – didn’t want to fight over the points. Then, the register had the Catalina tape in the wrong way so no Catalina. Still waiting for it to get fixed……I am all about the good deals but this is why I don’t come to K mart anymore.

  32. Kimberly

    went and got 6 packs…two transactions of three packs each
    3×3.99-11.97-3.00 for being a rewards member-6.00 (2.00 off coupon at store–only needed one per transaction)- 4.00 catalina=mm $1.03!!! great deal!

  33. Krystle Wilson-Steele

    Just got mine too! Along with the purex…and I think I got the cashier hooked to Hip2save cause she was like how do you do this and I directed her to your site:) Thanks again

  34. Jenn

    This should’ve been such a great deal, it’s really a shame that it seems at least at my Kmart no one knows how to do their jobs correctly. Such a fiasco. They didn’t have the $2 kmart Viva coupons, they didn’t know how to ring up the gift card, I went to check out and I had my coupons in hand waiting to hand them to her but instead she totaled the transaction then was mad that she had to get her manager to void the whole thing because she totaled it before she took my coupons. Then I asked her if I could use my points, and she of course didn’t know how. So I left without using my points, AND the best part, no catalina printed. I don’t think Kmart is worth the hassle. 🙁 🙁 🙁

  35. Jai

    Loaded all my kids to go get this deal. Only to get there and ALL stock gone and all coupons taken. How frustrating 🙁

  36. Amy

    As I was walking down the aisle to pick up 3 packs of paper towels I passed a woman with at least 20 packs stacked in the basket and under the cart. When I got to the shelf, there was not one pack left :(.

    • axhilli

      That is ridiculous sorry to hear that.

    • Izzy

      Amy, please check around the store. I could’ve very well been that lady you saw because I had a cart PACKED to the brim and spilling over. No, none were left on the shelf (none when I got there, either) but there was a HUGE display of them in one of the aisles that wasn’t anywhere near the paper towels. I left over 25 packs, and only bought as many as I did because one of the managers there (who showed me the display) said to take as many as I wanted because there was only 1 or 2 other couponers in town.

    • Kimberly

      My K-Mart told me they would rain check these….and honor the $2.00 K-Mart Q..even though they will be expired! Probably wont get the Cat–but still not a bad deal!

      • Cammy

        SWEET!

  37. Tina

    i cant get the .50 viva coupons to print from website, it just gives me a blank screen and i have to click on viva at the bottom of the page. ugh 🙁

    • Jai

      I had that problem on chrome try IE worked for me

  38. Rachel Jokela

    Just went to my store in MN and someone went to the 2 stores locally and bought every SINGLE pack they had. I think it was the same lady, they said she bought about 8 0 packs. That is SOOO wrong if that was you, you should be ashamed. Leave some for other people.

    • Lisa

      8 or 80?

    • Molyka

      Which stores in MN did you go to? I was planning on going today.

  39. Anna

    I got no Catalina at my store here in North Carolina, and didn’t see any $2 store coupon.

  40. Terrie

    Thanks Collin for such a great deal! I told my daughter in law about it and she went and was not able to find the tear pad, neither was I-but we still got 3 packs for $5 and some change–not as good as free–but still a Great Deal!

  41. Shelly

    FYI, at my Kmart, they told me the $2 Viva coupon starts on Tuesday 11/5. So if you’re not finding it at your store, that may be a region difference from some of the folks who found it. For reference, I’m in Northern California.

  42. Jan

    All of you that are using that $2.00 coupon along with any other coupons are committing fraud, that coupon clearly states not to be combined with any other coupon for the same item(s).

    • Jai

      Some stores policies clearly state they take manufactures coupons plus their own. The stores are only getting reimbursed by the manufacturer ones. Therefore it is the companies choice & policy. I do not feel its fraudulent. Copying coupons or using multiple emails to get stuff..etc is fraudulent.

  43. Sara

    Can I get three Viva and three Cottenelle in a single transaction and receive $6 in automatic savings or does this need to be done in separate transactions? Thank you!

    • Kimberly

      I had the coupon for the TP AND Wipes,, so I bought three of each together. It only took off $3.00 (Fo the rewards card) and only got 1 $3.00 cat…so might be better to do it in seperate transactions with different coupons

  44. Steph S.

    I might do the Cottonelle deal this afternoon. Please anyone let me know if you have luck getting the catalina. I may then roll the catalina onto the Viva paper towels deal. Hopefully I have luck in store buying all.

  45. Jadeemiller

    Is the $3 instant coupon in an ad or anything that I can take it and show them if they give me any kind of problems, my kmart tends to be a pain

  46. nel

    I need tp and hate couponing at Kmart. Hopefully there will be another Amazon deal soon!

  47. Sophie

    Got 6 packs of Cottonelle this morning, split it in 2 transactions (3 packs each). On first on used two $4 Viva catalina’s, paid $0.97 (3×3.99-$3-$8)and got $3 catalina back. Second transaction, used one $4 Viva catalina and paid $4.97 (3×3.99-3-4)and got $3 catalina back. Did not use any other manu coupons.

    • Rei

      Thank you for confirming!

  48. Brittney in Texas

    I’m wanting to get the Cottonelle today. Please let me know the best way to go about this, thanks so much! 🙂

    • Brittney in Texas

      P.S. I don’t have any Catalina coupons to use but I do have (2) of the $2 off tp and wipes

  49. Julie

    I went today and did two transactions with tp using my $4 viva cat and 2 manufacturing q’s in each. Got my $3 cat for tp after each! Then I took my two $3 cats and bought 3 bundles of Kleenex and got a $2 cat from Kleenex! Totally unexpected.

    transaction 1:
    3 cottonelle
    used (2) .50 coupon from 10/13 ss (1) $4 cat from viva (so I would not need a filler did not use another manufacturing q for tp)
    got back $3 cat
    transaction 2 was same as #1 since I did viva deal twice yesterday
    transaction 3:
    bought: 3 Kleenex bundles and 2 viva 6 packs
    used (2) $1 off Kleenex bundles, (1).75 off Kleenex bundles (1) kmart $2 viva coupon (took $4 off) and (2) $3 cottonelle catalina coupons

    and got back a surprise $2 cat from Kleenex

    I am stocked up and so glad I don’t need to run around this winter getting this stuff! Thanks. FYI my store in Indiana had a ton of tp everywhere! all over the store. Worth the trip.

    • Melissa

      Thanks for the heads up on the kleenex! I got the $2 catalina too!

  50. Teresa W

    Does anyone know how many deals you can do with your rewards card? Is it limited to 1?
