Better than Free U by Kotex @ Fred Meyer

• This worked for me the first time but when I tried it again and used the $3 coupon from the first transaction, neither cat popped out. Either it doesn't roll or I got a bum catalina machine the second time around. Just a heads up

  • yeh. that seems odd. ive rolled both about 4 times now. some back to back. no issues. mmm

• THANKS :-) finally free pads ;-) had no problem rolling catalinas...

• Nice write up on this deal Booooooob! :)

• So I did this today. I didn't have the printable coupons, so my total is a little higher.
  I bought 2 of the 22 count white package super longs. Got a $1.50 off 3 catalina coupon, 1 $2 oyno and 1 $3 oyno. 2 for $.98 is still pretty awesome in my book. So I went back and got 3 more of the same product to use that $1.50 off 3 catalina coupon. 2nd time I got another $1.50 off 3 coupon, BUT this time I got 1 $3 catalina and one more $3 catalina! Paid $7.21 (after tax) and got back $6 in catalinas!! Thats pretty much like 3 packs for a dollar.
  All that to say, even if you don't have the printables, just go and do 1 transaction and buy 2. Then use that $1.50/3 coupon that prints out (not the oyno) to buy 3 in the 2nd transaction. 3 packs for around $1 is a steal!! :-) I didn't use my oynos, I am keeping them to buy groceries.

  • what a awesome suggestion!!! :-)

• I purchased 40 ct liners by mistake and $2 cat didn't print, just $3 cat So, it's only on pads. I haven't tried to purchase tampons.

• Great deal! The overnight pads for 2.99 only gave the $2 cat not the $3 cat. Third time around I used self check out and I got nothing. I read on another site that four at a time will produce 3 x $3 cats. I might try this tomorrow.

• Just did 3 transaction of 2 each. No cats! I'm guessing my cashiers cat machine wasn't working. Went to customer service, and after waiting forever (2 year old and 9 month old in tow) they couldn't find any cats for kotex in the system. They checked the signage and saw the $3 but wouldn't credit me the $2. I just returned all of them and am going to give it another shot tonight when I can go by myself. Annoying!!!

  • im so Sorry!!! that does suck. another possibility for the future, is to have them try it at the CS desk. sometimes they can get it there, just have them do the transaction again, have them suspend the transaction, and it will spit out any catalinas that would be coming to you. they can then, restore the transaction, and just void it easily.

    or you can fill this out

    and catalina will send you the catalinas in the mail in the next 10 days.

    • The customer service associate was convinced it didn't print them because I used a manufacturers coupon. Lol! I figured it would be easier to just have a redo. She was unable to take the manufacturers coupons off of the return, so I did profit $6. Thanks for all of the match ups!

• Round 2 at OC Fred Meyer unsuccessful. For some reason the cats aren't printing there. Has anyone had luck in Clackamas or Canby?

• I tried this yesterday at FM and it worked for the first time! (It didn't work last week.) So I went back today with coupons and it didn't work. Frustrating!! Does anyone have a copy of the cat announcement? didn't there used to be a website that listed current catalina promotions?? Anything that can help?

  • i didnt/dont. there is not a great master list anywhere. the list on SD is decent. you could just submit a request online. it takes about 10 days to get your CATs
