   I'm impressed! I don't make enough use of coupons and rebates and need to learn more about them. Thanks for your blog. I've been perusing it and learning!

   What is/are catalina? I only know that as a woman's given name and a place name, as in Catalina Island.

   Joan,
   "Catalina" is the piece of paper printed out at the cashier along with a receipt. (Not the receipt, but the catalina machine is normally located by the cash register.)
   
   Have you ever received a piece of paper with your receipt when you grocery shop? It often has a teaser like "But 5 Coke, and get $5 off for your next shopping trip" or simply an advertisement. Those are catalinas.

   Oh, yeah, the best kind are the ones from my grocery store that just say "$3 off your next grocery purchase." No contingencies or stipulations at all. That is nearly like handing me cash. I see from Google that "Catalina" is the name of one of the companies which originated check-out issued coupons.

   I saw the ad for those rebates, but I heard that the rebates may not be sent to you so I didn't want to risk it since their shampoo and toothpaste is so expensive! You have more experience so I guess you might not be as worried. I got orange juice too, even though it's 2/6, it's usually 2/5 but who can find that kind of deal for oj nowadays.

   Don't worry about the rebates. I get these every month.
