Catalina 10/10

I've been trying to keep track on the last few trips to Shaws and these are the Catalina Deals that have printed from there:
('onyo' means On Your Next Order - after the transaction, the coupon machine gives you a coupon for $5.00 to use onyo!)
Oct. 8th-31  Scott t-paper, p-towels & napkins, Buy 2 get $2.00 oyno, buy 3 get $2.00 oyno
Oct 4th-31   General Mills Fruit Snacks, Buy 3 get $1.00 oyno, buy 4 get $2.00 oyno, buy 5+ get $3.00 oyno
Oct 8th-31    Cottonelle 12 pack t-paper, Buy 2 get $2.00 oyno, Buy 3+ get $3.00 oyno
Oct 8th-24    This next one is my favorite because there are a lot of scenarios to get good deals. Buy 5 of the following items in one transaction, get $5.00 oyno. The printout (scanned in below) says one coupon per transaction, but doesn't limit my transactions. Shaws better not either! They get so mad when I play the deal game, I usually get a nasty look. The upload is hard to see on here, but if you click the pict, it'll open in another window where you'll easily be able to read it.
If you printed out the $5.00 off five participating Kraft cheese or dairy products, you can kind-of double dip with the cheese (sadly, only the cheese....), but even that was a great coupon from Kraft.  I'm was sure all of these things would be on sale over the next few weeks so I checked the flyer and this week we have to choose from, well, mostly everything on the list : Capri Sun $1.99, Crystal Light 2/$5, Kraft Salad Dressing 2/$5, Singles 2/$6, Maxwell House & Starbucks Coffee $7.99, Oreo, Nilla Wafers, Ritz $2.99 each, Bacon $4.99, Bologna $2.00, Planters $3.99, Oatmeal 2/$4, Shaws PB&J's $1.77, Water $2.99. 
There are a ton of scenarios where you won't spend a lot (3 peanut butters, 2 jelly = $8.85 out of pocket, but you're getting $5.00 back, in essence making your purchase only $3.35 for 5 things- 67 cents each!). And then you take that $5.00 and stock up on Capri Sun for school lunches or snack, and pay only $5.00 out of pocket after you use the coupon, and you'll still leave with another five dollars off your next order. Plus, if you've been printing coupons, your out of pocket could be really low, and each time you do this deal, five meals go to Feeding America.
