HOT Baker's Sale 10/17/12-10/23/12, FREE Mac & Cheese, Potatoes, Pizza for a Nickel, Cake Mix, Hamburger Helper for a Quarter & More Deals

All 25 items in the picture above only cost $5.80 this week at Baker's ($37.25 retail - an 84% savings.) Plus, I will get $1.75 back in my Savings Star account.Here's how I did it and you can too. 

They have select items on sale and when you buy 5, you get a $5 catalina to use on your next shopping trip. I've confirmed that you can do up to 20 items in one transaction and will receive (4) $5 catalinas, so you don't have to do a separate transaction for each set of five. Also, the catalinas roll, meaning if you do multiple transactions, you can pay with the $5 catalinas and still get more of the same catalinas. 

Basically, for the price listed in the ad, subtract $1.00 per item and that will be your actual total when you figure in the $5 catalina savings.

Note: Saving Star has ecoupons that you load onto your Baker's card. The savings do NOT come off at checkout, but will get added to your Savings Star account in 7-30 days after checkout. You redeem the credit for Amazon credit or Paypal cash. This extra savings make some of these items moneymakers!
