Update on Albertsons General Mills Promo

Fabulessly Frugal posted this about the General Mills Promo at Albertsons:

We've heard from our contact at Five Mile & Overland who has confirmed the catalina WILL print, even IF you use coupons and your total is less than $20. As long as you reach $20 BEFORE coupons, it WILL print.
A few things to consider:

• If the catalina does not print, they will most likely refer to the fine print on the ad
• If the catalina DOES print, but the cashier refuses to give it to use because you used coupons, ask for a manager. They are trained that what prints is the customer's, and if it prints and the customer doesn't want it, then they recycle it (they don't even give it to someone else, or keep it for themselves).
• They have not received anything from corporate advising them to limit coupons

They also posted that there will be Doublers in the ad this Sunday that are valid for a whole week (2/28-3/6).

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE:  So I went to the 5mile and Overland store last night and got a different story from the night crew.  They said that you could try doing the General Mills Promo getting to the $20 before coupons, but that it was not printing for some people that way.  They had a lady come in and buy $20 worth of cereal and fruit snacks and then use coupons to bring the total down from there, but the catalina did not print.  So buyer beware!  If you buy $20 worth of participating items before coupons and the catalina does not print, you are stuck.  However, if you buy $20 worth of participating items after coupons are factored in, they will be able to make a catalina print for you.  I was chicken and didn't want to risk the catalina not printing, so I bought $26 worth of Betty Crocker Muffins (Cinnamon Streusel is my kid's favorite kind) and used $5.50 in coupons to bring the total down to $20.50.  The catalina printed for me.  I just wasn't willing to rist losing the $7 catalina in order to gain $2.34 by calculating the $20 before coupons.
As for the "limit 1 per customer" clause in the ad regarding this promo, the 5mile and Overland store was willing to let people do multiple transactions.  However, they didn't know if the catalina would recognize your Preferred Card and only print 1 catalina per card.  Nobody had tried to do multiple transactions on the Promo, so they didn't know what it would do.
On the positive side, I did get confirmation from one of the employees that they were planning on Doublers this weekend.
