Marcy, I live in the Columbus, OH area, and just about all of the stores around here double up to $0.99. I know that not all Meijers double coupons though. :(

The Earthbound Farm coupons were part of a recipe booklet that I received as part of a large package of organic coupons. It looks like something to company might send out to registered users, so I'd recommend registering on their site and/or contacting them to see if they have coupons to mail out.

Two questions:

What Meijer are you going to that doubles coupons? Mine said they are no longer doubling.

Where can I find those Earthbound Farm coupons?

Ahhh. Thanks Tara! I'm still new to all this....it takes a while to learn all the details!

I don't think it will work, Emmy, because Meijer's policy is to only double the first two like coupons. Any further like coupons in a single transaction are redeemed at face value. :(

Jenna's right -- the coupon is valid on the shredded cheese, but the Catalina offer is not.

I'm curious if this same idea will work for the Kraft dressing. The item is 3/$5 with the $5 catalina (not to be confused with the type of dressing, haha) and there was a manufacturer's coupon for $.55 which would be doubled. So if my thinking is correct, I could get 9 bottles of dressing for $.10 total. ??? Maybe I'll see if I can track down 9 of the coupons and give it a try.

No the Kraft deal only includes the blocks, if you buy the shredded the CAT will not print!

Ok just seeing what you thought because i went to customer service and they said since i used a coupon i couldnt get the catalina. I said that is not how it normally works. I guess i will have to call or go back in there.

It did print automatically, Natasha. I'd just show them the offer in the ad -- it clearly states that you should receive it when you buy $15 or more.

Yep, I plan on freezing most of the cheese for future use. I was a little disappointed that they were out of mozzarella blocks, but I may pull out my old laptop to print a couple more coupons and try again this weekend.

You can freeze shredded cheese. I do it all the time. Blocks of cheese can get crumbly when you thaw them out, but if you don't mind that, they can also be frozen.

So I was wondering when you did the cheese did you get the $5 catalina to print? I went tonight and got the cheese and spent the $15 on Kraft before the coupons of course but the catalina didnt print and they said I couldnt get it!

WOW! You truly inspired me to clip those coupons!

This was a great shopping trip! You can freeze cheese (like on frozen lasagna), but if you look at the expiration dates...a lot of times cheese keeps for a LONG time.

@Vanessa You can freeze cheese. Shredded cheese freezes much better than chunk (I think). I have also frozen Kraft singles and it comes out pretty well.

Yes you can freeze cheese. Block cheese freezes best.
