HEB shop-using up the cats

Okay, I have a boat load of $1.50 and $2 catalina coupons that I collected during the BTFE deal they had. I had some expiring today and by 10/19 I will have to use the rest. The catalina coupons say -Save $1.50 (or $2) off any HEB own brand item, so I have been on a scavenger hunt to find HEB brand items that I will use. Actually this is very easy because HEB has such a vast variety of its own brand items. Hill country fare also qualifies-it has to do with the bar code number on the item (starts with 4122 0).
Today I spent $8.35 cash OOP for $30 worth of groceries! That's pretty good for HEB! I did do this in  5 transactions just to be on the safe side and used a $1.50 or $2 cat each time.  As it was, a manager was called 2 out of the 5 times and I have no idea why.

Thanks to Katy's Couponers for blogging about a great deal opportunity. Use the $1.50 off any Vicks from 10/10 PG on a small box of Vicks cough drops.  The Vicks are .99 and each $1.50 coupon takes off the full amount with no beeping. That means .51 overage for each one you buy.  I was able to use 6 coupons and I have more for tomorrow!
