What Is A Catalina Coupon?

What Is A Catalina Coupon?

Have you ever heard of someone say catalina coupon? Have you ever noticed when you checkout there is an extra machine that looks like the one you receipt comes out of? I know I was confused about this when I first heard about catalinas or saw them come out. I didn’t know what to do with them. Well, I am about to explain it to you.

A catalina coupon will print only if you spend X amount of money on a certain item or certain quanity amount. Once you have met that amount it will print out at the end of your purchase. It is a coupon that you can use on your next purchase. For example, Suave is running a promotion that if you buy TWO Suave shampoo and/or conditioner you will receive a $2.00 towards your next purchase catalina.

Can I Use The Catalina Coupon On Anything In The Store?

Sometimes the catalina is for a specific amount of money off your next total purchase or it can be off a certain item. For example, the picture above is a certain amount of money off my next purchase of an avocado. You will want to make sure you read the coupon in detail before you head to the store for your next purchase. You are also allowed to use multiple catalina coupons as well in one transaction.

For example, Kroger is running a deal where you spend $40 in the baby aisle, you will get back a $10 catalina coupon for your future order on baby purchases. This means you can use the $10 on anything in the baby aisle. You also get a $2 catalina coupon for your next total purchase when you bough two Suave shampoos. On your next purchase you can use both of those coupons in the same transaction. You could go buy $12 worth of diapers and have both coupons deducted from your total and only have to pay tax.

What Do I Do If The Catalina Coupon Doesn’t Print?

Sometimes you will come across a situation where the catalina doesn’t print. If this does happen you can go up to your customer service department at the grocery store and explain the situation to them. Sometimes they will give you money back or they will advice you to contact the catalina company. To contact them you will want to call 1-888-826-8766.

How To Maximize My Savings Using A Catalina Coupon And A Manufacture Coupon

You are able to pair up a catalina coupon and a manufacture coupon as well. This is called stacking coupons. For example: You receive a catalina coupon for $2.00 off Tide detergent and you also have a manufacture coupon for $3.00 off Tide detergent. You are able to use both of those coupons and receive $5 off the bottle of Tide detergent. *Always check your store’s policies to confirm.*
