*For this deal to work the total had to be $20 based on sale price!  Until recently, the catalina would trigger on shelf price.  That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  I made sure I was just over $20 sale price and I did get the catalina.

I'm noticing something strange about my Giant Eagle receipts...not everything that I save money on is showing as savings.  For example, Fresh Express Spring Mix, the price is correct but it doesn't show that I saved $1.84 per package!  Most savings shows up in bold print, but not the lettuce.  My estimated savings according to my calculations last night should have been very close to 60%, but according to my receipts, I saved 50%.  As I looked through my big receipt, I noticed that several products are showing like Fresh Express.  It's just a tad bit annoying to me that's all.  I like to have an accurate receipt so I know that my savings is where I want it to be.  Maybe I'll go through the receipts later and figure out my real savings!
