Coffee Mate Catalina Update & My Shopping Trip to Stop & Shop

Coffee Mate Catalina Deal Update

First, I have to apologize, I had originally posted the Coffee Mate Catalina deal as being at ShopRite starting today, 4/16.  The deal is actually not at ShopRite but rather at Stop & Shop.  Megan did verify it today and the 16 oz are priced at $2.19 however this price may vary.

This is completely my mistake and I’m so sorry if you headed over to ShopRite to take advantage of it before I was able to put up an update.  However, there is an unintended benefit to this error although it’s to my benefit not yours (you can see below).  😉

Here is the catalina info for Stop & Shop:

Nestle Coffee Mate Liquid Creamer, 16 oz or larger (excludes Natural Bliss)
4/16 – 5/13
Buy 2 Get a $1 Catalina
Buy 3 Get a $2 Catalina
Buy 4 Get a $4 Catalina

Sorry, just have to post, as this is something that has been very, very frustrating to me and is happening more and more.  And, I just had to say, ah ha caught you 😉

Personal note to other bloggers who continue to copy ShopRite posts from LRWC without giving proper credit. I’m afraid my suspicions have been confirmed with this deal which is a nice way of saying…You’ve Been Busted!  Coffee Mate Catalina Deal is NOT a valid deal at ShopRite, yet it is posted on your sites.  Going forward, if you get ShopRite information from LRWC, I hope you will do what is right and link to your source. Thank you ~Cindy
