Holy Air Freshners!

EDIT - if you also bought the 3m lint rollers and aren't satisfied with them, you can submit for this Satisfaction Guarantee (up to $4.99).
EDIT - there is another BOGO coupon for the Glade gel warmers on coupons.com - thanks Tosha!


Walmart

• 3 bags Tidy Cats litter ($6.73 ea) & 3 bags of the litter pads ($4.32 ea) - its getting harder and harder to find this stuff so when I see it, I've been grabbing multiple packages. I used one $1 Tidy Cats coupon that my houndfriend dancinmama sent me (wish I had more to use but they weren't in my inserts)
• 6 boxes Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta $1.50, used six $1 coupons (8/24 SS) = $0.50 each
• Total was $37.47 but at least I'm set on litter for a while

CVS

• 6 Scotch Brite lint rollers $2.50 each, used six $1 coupons = $1.50 each
• Used $3 off $15 and $3 ECB, total was $3.63 and got back $5 ECB (for buying $15 worth of Scotch Brite)

Ok, now here's where the fun starts. Thanks to an awesome tip from a fellow hound called saphira, I was able to pick up all these Glade air freshners at Stop & Shop.

Transaction One:

• 2 Glade Wisp Flameless Candles $9.99 each, used BOGO coupon and got back two $3 catalinas plus I'll submit for Try Me Free rebate $9.99 (9/7 SS) = $6 profit

Transactions Two & Three:

• 22 Glade Gel Warmers $1.79 each, used a combination of BOGO coupons (or 9/14 SS) and $0.55 coupons (also print when you print the BOGO coupons) and got back $2 catalina for each warmer I bought
• So here's the run down: I paid $21.51 OOP for the warmers and I got back $44 in catalinas! That's a $22.49 profit!

Well, I just had to put all those catalinas to good use! All in all, I had $64 to spend (including catalinas I'd earned today and a couple days back). Back to S&S DBF and I went:

So, as far as I understand it, here's the deal with S&S catalinas. They are manufacturer's coupons (as opposed to S&S coupons), so you can only use one per item. Also, if you have a $2 catalina, your item must cost at least $2. So the name of the game was finding as many $2 and $3 items as possible. Here's what I got:

• 5 papers $2 each, used five $2 cats = FREE
• Arnold bread $2.50, used $2 cat = $0.50
• Tortilla chips $2.89, used $2 cat = $0.89
• Rold Gold pretzels $2, used $2 cat = FREE
• Thomas mini bagels $2.50, used $2 cat = $0.50
• 2 Milks $2.29 ea, used two $2 cats = $0.58
• Land O Lakes half sticks butter $4.29, used $3 cat and will submit for Try Me Free rebate = $1.29 paid, $4.29 back = $3 profit
• Yoplait yogurt $2.29, used $2 cat = $0.29
• 4 S&S shredded cheeses $2.50 each, used four $2 cats = $2
• S&S brick cheese $2.50, used $2 cat = $0.50
• 2 S&S cream cheese $2 each, used two $2 cats = FREE
• Sargento swiss cheese $3, used $3 cat = FREE
• Tropicana OJ $3, used $3 cat = FREE
• 2 Healthy Ones cold cuts $3 each, used $3 and $2 cat = $1
• McCain fries $2, used $2 cat = FREE
• Perdue ground turkey $3.06, used $2 cat = $1.06
• 1 pound strawberries $2, used $2 cat = FREE
• Apples $4.41, used $2 cat = $2.21
• Total was $10.52 and I still have a couple $2 catalinas still to use

Even if you don't have any Q's for the Glade gel warmers, at $1.79 each, you make $0.21 for every $2 catalina you get back. The $0.55 coupons are actually a better deal than the BOGO coupons. $1.79 + $1.79 - $1.10 - $1.10 ($0.55 Q doubled) = $1.38 for two (versus $1.79 with the BOGO Q).
