Great Catalina deal from General Mills

So I think my last post was about how much more expensive it is to eat healthy, particularly if you are on a low fat diet.  It blows my mind that there aren't more coupons for low-fat stuff and/or produce.  It's rare when you find them and seems crazy to me.  I think we should be encouraging families to eat healthier, rather than giving them endless coupons for high fat, high sugar snacks.  Don't get me wrong, sometimes that's exactly the type of snack you need...I"m just saying.

However, until at least Wednesday, General Mills has a great Catalina deal going on at Jewel.  Check out Mashup Mom's blog for more specific on the deal. However, I was able to purchase 13 boxes of the Green giant frozen BOXED veggies (specifically the ones that Jewel has on sale for 10/$10).  In doing so, I got a Catalina back that said $10 off my next order from General Mills.  So that means that I paid $3 for the frozen veggies.  Oh wait...I also used two coupons, which means I really paid $1.80 for all those veggies.  Woo hoo!!!!  Going back to Jewel today to use my $10.  The only bad thing about this deal is that the selection of veggies available is determined by your local Jewel.  Mine had a lot of the buttered and creamed options (totally not the best health-wise), but there was some good options.  Chopped spinach, mixed medleys, etc.

Also, I noticed that Crest toothpaste is currently $1 at Jewel.  From the past couple of weeks, I have several coupons for Crest toothpaste. Some are $1 off (meaning the toothpaste would be free) and some are $0.75 and $0.50....not a bad deal.  Gonna go stock up!
