If you’re leery about dealing with the randomly printing Huggies catalina at Fred Meyer, here are two scenarios that should work without a problem:
Buy 1 Huggies Snug & Dry Jumbo diaper pack = $7.99 with weekly ad coupon
Buy 1 Huggies Wipes tub = $1.99
Buy 1 Huggies Wipes refill bag = $5.99
Use $3/1 diapers coupon (-$3)
Use $2/2 wipes (tub & refill) coupon (-$2)
Pay $10.97, Get $3 Catalina
$7.97 after coupons & cat
You could also do a wipes-only transaction:
Buy 2 tubs = $3.98
Buy 2 refill bags = $11.98
Use (2) $2/2 wipes (tub & refill) coupons (-$4)
Pay $11.96, Get $3 Catalina
$8.96 after coupons & cat = approximately 1.7 cents/wipe (cheaper than Costco)
As always, these cats roll, so you can get pretty creative with your transactions and lower your out-of-pocket each time.

I went last night to the Auburn store and did 4 transactions.
1: 2 snug and dry (worked great).
2: 1 snug and dry and 4 wipes tubs (worked also, diapers 3.49, wipes .61/tub).
Since I was there I thought I would try with the movers so trans 3 and 4 I bought 2 each. Cat didn’t print, but no worries. They gave me 2 $3 gift cards.
We have done multiple deals in Portland and Vancouver with the little snugglers and they worked and rolled fine. The customer service was aware of the issue and had been informed about the problem. All transactions worked fine so I think they have fixed the problem.
I had no issues with the catalina and Little Snugglers. The Fred Meyer’s near my house (in Vancouver) also had a coupon for 50% off of Huggies wipes refills.
are you sure it wasn’t .50 off? That’s what was at mine.
In the monthly coupon book it is .50 off.
I am going to get some wipes! Thanks!
I did the wipes deal today…no problems…and the cat printed!!! YEAAAA. It didn’t occur to me (I don’t know why) to mix diapers and wipes. I’ll try it tomorrow. THANKS!!!!
I did 5 tubs and one refill and it worked great. There weren’t any diapers in my daughter’s size so I have to check back again this week or get a raincheck maybe. I did get some diapers for a friend that just had a baby yesterday so that’s fun.
It’s pretty tough to get a raincheck for a cat deal. Instead, buy a size they have in stock, keep your receipt and exchange them for the size you need next week. One extra trip (that you would be taking anyway with the r/c) but no hassle!
I have done 3 diaper transactions this week…and with the wipe coupon reset, I now have 4 of the $2/2 wipe tubs coupons. 8 tubs = 15.92, – $8 in coupons, -$3 cat from previous transaction….= 4.92 out of pocket for 576 wipes! And I’ll get another $3 cat! Love it!
Just did 1 snug and dri and 1 little moover and it printed the cat for me. Yakima, WA
The catalina didn’t print for me at the Tualatin store today. I bought 2 packages of Little Snugglers and a bunch of wipes and did 2 transactions. I e-mailed catalina again- they owe me $15. Hopefully everything will go through just fine. I don’t know why they can’t get their act together with this deal. Kinda crazy! : )
The cheapest scenario for the wipes is to buy 8 72 ct. and use 4 2/2 coupons. I did this last night, it ends up being $5 oop for 576 wipes which is 1.1 cents per wipe. A much better deal!
I did a few transactions yesterday with little movers and wipes and all three time my catalina printed!
Such fun to bring home a stock of diapers and wipes!
I have not had luck on this Catalina this week in Vancouver. I did two diaper transactions. The first time I went to customer service and they asked me to come back later as they were going to get it fixed, I just ended up calling the Catalina number for this trip (did two transactions). The store was having a Catalina agent come out to check out the problem.
I tried again today with just wipes which should have worked fine. I checked that the machine was working but it had an error in the middle of the transaction and the teller could not start over so I went to customer service. I asked if they could just be re-rung up. She said the reason the cat did not print was because my total after coupons was not 15 dollars and said it was on specific UPC codes .so she got a list but couldn’t read them as they printed badly. Then she tried to ring the transaction up without my coupons counting and the Catalina still wouldn’t print. Finally she got me one but during the whole process which I was very kind towards her, kept saying I was not doing it correctly or that the coupons were the problem and the total after coupons should be $15.
Hopefully others will continue to have good luck.
