Did Petsmart allow you to do all cat food in 1 transaction? Or did you have 2 seperate it? I went and got 3 SFC also… its worth the $9.00.

Hi Julia–the CVS ad says you have to spend $10 to get the $3 ecb. Do the 3 jars of Skippy add up to $10?

Ryann, I bought 6 jars and used (3) $0.75/2 coupons. The 6 jars before coupons and ECBs was $10.02.

Nevermind, I just noticed the coupons were $ .75/2. Thanks!! I must be getting better at this, I had pretty much the same exact scenario planned out before checking here. : )

Just an FYI, try checking Safeway for the Chronicle. They are sold here (SJ) for $2.
