I paid in 3 transactions – the catalinas ARE rolling! You’ll see below that I used the catalina from the previous offer to pay for the next. This is the best way to keep your OOP (out of pocket) low. My total OOP was $25.43 PLUS I have a $10 Catalina left to spend on my next shopping trip. That makes each item $2.54 each, I think those are killer prices for the items/brands I bought.
1st Transaction:
Buy 4 Michael Angelos Family Size Meals – $7.99 $6.99
Use (2) BOGO Micheal Angelo’s Coupons – pdf print 2! From what I am hearing, you have to answer ALL 3 questions right in order to get the BOGO Family size meal, otherwise you get the Individual size coupon.

That is so great!!!!
Jess @ That Coupon Girl March 1, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Wow you did really good! I’m gearing up to hit Vons for a similar deal. I hope I can find a discounted Tide at my store (although it’s highly unlikely).
Julia March 1, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Ya I was surprised, I’ve actually never seen that before, but the downy with a $1/1 coupon is a good substitute.
Kristina March 1, 2010 at 7:17 pm
I wish I had a Safeway where I live!
Mary March 1, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Wow, wonderful! I’m going to try and copy this tomorrow.
jenny r March 1, 2010 at 7:48 pm
that is awesome! how long is the promotion going for?
Julia March 1, 2010 at 8:10 pm
The P&G promotion is valid through 3/2/10, and the frozen foods promotion is good through March.
Zsuzsanna March 1, 2010 at 9:27 pm
I don’t see the family size meals advertised for the $10 catalina, only 10-12 oz. single serve. The BOGO coupon is also only good for the single serve size. How could you get the family size meals?
I am also worried they would not accept my coupons in the same transaction. Sometimes the cashier thinks one coupon per purchase means per transaction. How can you deal with that?
Finally, I do not see the P&G catalina deal advertised anywhere in my VONS flyers. Do you think they don’t run that promotion in So Cal? Thank you for your help, Julia!

I watched 3 videos, and printed BOGO coupons for single serve entrees. I answered all three questions correctly. Where are the family entree BOGO coupons? The coupons all have the same UPC number. I would like to use these on one transaction, and copy Julia’s deal, but I don’t think the cashier would let me use all the coupons, since they all look alike. Anyone else have problems with these? TIA!
Susan March 1, 2010 at 10:35 pm
GREAT JOB!!
Actually if you replaced the Tide with a 4.99 Downey, that would be .03 shy of the $25 and wouldn’t trigger the Catalina.
melissa March 2, 2010 at 12:15 am
THE CATALINA IS PRINTING WHEN YOU BUY JUST THE PAPER TOWELS AND T.P. ACCORDING TO OTHER SITES. I WAS CONCERNED IT WOULDN’T SO I ADDED ON THE DAWN DIRECT FOAM ($2.49), AND USED A $1.50 COUPON FROM HOME MADE SIMPLE AND A $.50 E-COUPON. DIDN’T ADD UP TO $25 (MY MATH WAS OFF, LONG DAY) AND IT STILL PRINTED FOR ME. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!!
Erika March 2, 2010 at 9:56 am
Could anyone share their family meal coupon pdf plz i keep answering but never get one only for the single entrees plz!!!
NATALIE March 2, 2010 at 2:35 pm
So the P&G catalina’s are rolling???? I want to do the Charmin/Bounty deal again today!
Mary March 2, 2010 at 3:36 pm
re: Have to answer all 3 questions right in order to get Family Size. I’m certain I answered all 3 right, and I just got the single size BOGO, just to let you know. Thanks for all you do!
Michele March 2, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I just returned from Safeway and purchased the Charmin 24+ roll along with the Bounty and I was charged $26.00 for both and no Catalina printed. What did I do wrong?
Julia March 2, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Were the packages exactly the same as mine? Has to be the BIG bounty too – should have worked. Makes me think one of them wasn’t the right packaging because you also didn’t get the $9.99 savings. Personally, I’d return them.
grammy March 2, 2010 at 5:12 pm
don’t how you did that. my frozen food cat said 10.00 off youe next frozen food purchase.
Mary March 2, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Ok, disappointing/amazing trip for me. I tried to copy this one, but only had single serve Michaelangelo’s bogos. I bought 10 Michaelangelo’s single meals @ 2.99, and got a $10 cat. Used 5 bogo qs. Then I did the swiffer transaction but, the frozen food cat clearly says on it for your next frozen food purchase, and the cashier wouldn’t take it So, I returned all the swiffer and downey transaction. Then I bought the 12 roll bounty and 24 roll Charmin at 9.99 each and it produced the $10 CAT! So it is working to get these 2 items and get the $10 Cat, even though it doesn’t reach the $25 mark. Only good through today though, as the P & G $25/$10 is only through today I understand.
Mary March 2, 2010 at 6:58 pm
My e-coupons for the Bounty and Charmin did not work. I loaded them before I left, and when I checked on it when I got back from shopping, it said “coupon being validated by retailer.” What does that mean? Thanks for allllll you do!
Zsuzsanna March 2, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I bought 10 single serve Michael Angelo’s meal today total: $29.96, with 5 BOGO coupons = $14. 95, and got $10 catalina, BUT it is only good for next FROZEN FOOD purchase!!!! So I went to a different store to use it and did the same deal, paid: $4.95 OOP and got another $10, but again it is only good for frozen food….
I also wonder if the P&G deal is even going here in SO CA. My VONS does not advertise it at all!! I see the big size, big savings promotion, but not a word about catalinas!!! Anyone has the same experience? I would love to use this
Erika March 3, 2010 at 2:20 pm
I was finally able to get some of those Michael Angelo’s BOGO family meal size. I was supper happy to find that my local Vons in San Diego had $1 off coupons on the family meal size box so for my 4 lasagna’s I paid $11.98 and got the $10 off frozen food cat I forgot to mention I did self check out for all of this
So the machine took my $10 off cat for my swiffer & downey there I paid $7.39 and got a $10 off cat for anything used that cat on the charmin/bounty now heres where it got tricky I did self check out remember, and for some reason it did not take my ecoupons i load to my card and the lady who looks over the self check out machines had no clue what I was talking about ecoupons loaded on my card. So I paid $16.37 and received my $10 cat but I was not happy about it not taking my ecoupons so I went home printed the list of the coupons loaded to my card took it back to a different vons and the manager gave me back my $7 dollars :> the $3 for charmin the $3 for bounty and $1 fro any fabreeze tide :> so the total for the last one came out to $9.37 Total OOP =$28.74 and one remaining cat for $10 off :>
Erika March 3, 2010 at 2:26 pm
RE: Zsuzsanna I’m in SoCal San diego 92105 and your right its not advertise about the Catalina $10 off but you do get it :> I got it one for the swiffer /downey and also one for the charmin/bounty.
Zsuzsanna March 3, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Thanks Erika. Awesome trip Erika! How clever! I am not sure if my VONS even has a self check out. But I will try to do the same as you did.
Are those ecoupons Vons or MFC? And why do you think this deal is not advertised here? Have you noticed this before? Thank you!
grammy March 3, 2010 at 5:02 pm
abund food sav says the cat for p & g is running til the 7th. does anyone know if this is fact? if it is, and the e coupons are finally working, i’ll make another trip…………….
jenny r March 5, 2010 at 6:00 pm
so for the spend $50 on p and g products to get the $100 coupons, for this deal, does it count the prices you paid, or the prices before the safeway deal? for the bounty- $12.99 or $9.99?
Julia March 5, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Jenny, it is the pre-sale/coupon price.
sandy March 25, 2010 at 9:52 am
Is Safeway – Genardies?
Thanks!
Sandy
