Awesome Smiths deal this week.

Smith's is starting a new sale & promotion tomorrow 2/16 and it's going to be HOT! The sale is, "Buy 10 participating items, save $3 instantly" but then you also get a $3 catalina, that's valid on your next shopping order! Remember, the real benefit is to "roll" your catalinas. I've detailed out 3 transactions below to show you how you can do that. {When I say catalina, I'm not talking about the salad dressing or the island. Read more about catalinas here.}

Please note that I don't think two $3 catalinas will print even if you buy 20 items in 1 transaction. So group your transactions into sets of 10, so you'll get the $3 catalina each time. I list the price below after the instant $3 savings, as well as the price after the $3 catalina.

Your first transaction should be for very inexpensive items, since you won't have a catalina to help lower your OOP {out-of-pocket} total. After that, then buy your more expensive items since you'll have the $3 catalina to help pay for them.
