I started out with $10 on a catalina from the Unilever Deal (expired) and a ton of coupons.

LeAnn and I have our way of obtaining multiples of coupons from Sunday Papers. I had a found coupons for buy one get one free Glade Scented Oil Warmers.

There was a rummor on multiple couponing sites that Glad Scented Oil Warmers were spitting out $4 Catalinas for each one you purchased and that multiple catalinas would print if you bought more than one.

I put it to the test. I figured, if it didn't work I was just out the catalina and it was worth a try.

So, I headed to the store, and purchased 4 Oil Warmers, I paid $4.17 for two of them and the other two were free. I earned $16 in catalinas.

I kept going back to the store to either find empty shelves or just a couple there. I talked to the store manager in charge of ordering inventory. I had him order 80 units for Me, LeAnn, and others (YOU!) to go and get in on this deal.

I honestly lost count to how many units I have. I can tell you this, I still have $72 worth of catalinas, $20 on a gift card, and purchased 1/2 Gal Choc Milk, 1 Gal 2% Milk, 4 Containers of olives from the olive bar, Whipped Topping, Sara Lee Pie, 2 Fall Window Clings, 2 small bags of cheese puffs, 2 packages carl budig meat,1 large bag of cheese puffs, 2 Bug juice (kids were with me), 3 boxes of popcorn, bagged salad, 12 pack coke, 20oz coke, 3 Chicken Grillers from meat dept, 2 twice baked potatos from the meat dept, whole fryer chicken, shrimp ring, and 2 strip steaks. I've spent maybe $30 for $.19 (they are 4.19 each) and tax. In the end I'd say I'm up about $150, food, air freshners, and out of coupons (Hopefully only until tomorrow!).

I attached a couple of pictures! (The boxes are full of oil warmers)

AND if you found the peelies at Walgreen's for a FREE warmer, you can combine that with the B1G1 and get both warmers free PLUS the $8 in cats.

Today I was at Walgreens and found 29 peelies for FREE Oil Warmers. Went to one store, they had 10 in stock. Next store had 1 but is ordering me another 3 cases. This is by far THE BEST deal I have ever come across!!

Since the catalina's are usually good for only 14 days, what are you turning them into? Chicken is on sale here so I am turning my $20 that expire tomorrow into chicken breasts and tenders.
