Yesterday, someone asked me if I missed posting all the deals. And I’ll admit it, sometimes I do. But only the really good ones. So if you happen to see a store, coupon or online deal on this silly blog of mine, I want you to know, that I am only telling you about it because I really think it’s a good deal, and I don’t want you to miss out.
So without further ado…
If you are an Albertsons Double Coupon Shopper, you may be interested in the shopping trip I did this morning.
And hey, even if your not an Albertsons shopper, take a look.
I’m curious, are they prices any better {or worse} than where you live?
For all I know, maybe you’ll be like, Holy Crap. You can get butter for only $.99 a lb? Well I live in Abu Dhabi and the going rate is 2 camels and a pack of skittles. Geez, I gotta move near an Albertsons, and quick!

So. Did you go to Albertsons today? What did you buy? Did you score any RAD deals?
LaToya says
Yay! My favorite part of your blog – because I relate to it the most.
Hit Albies this morning too. I bought 30 cans of olives at 19-cents each (after coupons/doublers/promo. I did the Hormel pork tenderloins that were $10.99, BOGO, doubled the dollar on each and got $10 tenderloins for $3.50 each. My Albies had artichokes for $1 each so I bought all 7 that they had left. Got 11 free pastas with the coupon book coupon…..and 11 boxes of ice cream cones for 9-cents each. That was it for Albies. Then I went doubling at Walmart and got 10 free Ivory bars (could have done this at Albertsons – I didn’t see that in your haul…do you ever show non-food, can’t remember?)…10 free Curad peroxides…free Welch’s juice…; it was a pretty dang good day. I’ve got more doublers coming in and since they go through Wednesday, I’ll be heading back soon 😉
Mavis says
LaToya, what are you going to do with all those olives. I highly doubt you have enough fingers to put them on. Too bad you don’t live closer to me. I would totally trade you for some. And FYI – I went back and there was no more Schick razors. 🙁 I wonder why the cat printed for YOU and not me. Bummer!
LaToya says
My kids go through olives like water – seriously. Pasta salad, tacos and burritos, in pasta, and yes – on their grubby little fingers. Hope you meant Gillette, and not Schick because that would be the reason. Although I hear people complaining about the Kikkoman CAT only being $1 and I got $2 like 10 times. Maybe the couponing goddesses heart me 😉
Heather says
Way to goooo! Way to rock the doubler deals. That’s how it’s done. You got some good stuff! I’m jealous of the hummus. Wondering if my store has any. Maybe I’ll go tomorrow.
Mavis says
Thanks Heather!
Teresa A says
Look inside your hot dog buns for 75 cent coupons.
Mavis says
Hey Thanks Teresa, I will!
Kristina says
Mavis-Where did you get the Albertson’s sizzling coupon book? Do you think they would have this at the store in the morning? Also, do you mind telling me where you got the $1 off Gatorade coupon. Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
Mavis says
The coupon booklets are at both customer service and at the end of the registers {where they bag the groceries}. The gatorade coupons were hang tags. Those will be very hit and miss to find. They are put on the product by the distributor.
Kristina says
Okay. Thank you very much!! I didn’t know what I was going to do without knowing where to get that book!! I think I am going to do like you did on transaction 5 and 6 but instead of Gatorade I will get the Barilla pasta. Thanks again!! Have a nice night!!
Mavis says
You too Kristina!
jennifer says
I have so missed your albies posts! Please keep them coming……I have gone crazy on the olive deal….and pasta…..using the 1.00 everyday essentail coupon has been fun…
Lisap says
I too love your albertsons post. Unfortunately I live I Sunny SoCal, and have not seen any albie doubles since …i can’t remember, maybe it was in May. But i love your posts and pray doubles will show up in our area soon. Thank You
Dayla says
Thank you, Thank you for posting this!! I don’t think there is anyone that is as smart as you @ couponing, or as organized & concise! Thank you, thank you!!!
Lissa says
Yay Albies! I am so happy to see so many of the great deals from the last few weeks back again with doublers. I have 6 sets and it will be hard to choose how best to use them! Wish I had an easy source for more (for free) but I am lazy so I just subscribe right now. Planning for more olives, hummus, King’s rolls Lance crackers, and hopefully I can lay my hands on some of the new Albies coupon book….my store didn’t have any in yet last week!
On a side note: I am LOLing at the PERFECTLY laid out and symmetrical picture. I am totally OCD like that too! Just wanted you to know that your attention to detail is not going to waste!
Brenda says
Lissa,
I was thinking the same thing about the symmetrical pictures!
Good job, Mavis!
Mavis says
I can’t help it. LOL….
Mavis says
I bet Martha has OCD. 🙂 Ha Ha Ha. Us weirdooos have to stick together. 🙂
Mara says
Mavis,
On the Gillette Razor deal a couple of weeks ago, only some of the upc’s on the razors that were shown were working to print the catalina. Because they were listed in the promotion and were supossed to be spitting out the catalina, our store had to force them through at the time. It was when you bought 6. Daisy’s were printing and a only a few of the men’s razors. I bet the razor’s you got when you did the deal were some that didn’t have the upc’s loaded. I’m not sure if it’s too late to call Catalina.
Hope that helps.
Mavis says
I bet that’s what happened. Grrr… I already threw away my receipt! 🙁
Mmathisen says
Mavis, I found 3 hangtags for the Gatorade at my Albie’s, but it was $1 off an 8 pack. Is that the same one you used? How did you manage to get it for free?
Mavis says
Hmmm. Mine said $1.00 off any Gatorade product.
Angela says
I am amazed at your fettuccini balancing skills (transaction #5) and your Albies shopping!! 🙂 Well done!
Mavis says
Ha Ha! Mavis has skills… 😉
CathyB says
Holy Crap! You can get butter for only $.99 a pound! Well I live in Alaska and the going rate for butter is $2.99 and upwards. Geez, I gotta move near an Albertsons, and quick!
(Actually the prices aren’t so bad; it is the fact that we have no stores that do double coupons and very few that do any really good sales promos. So I love to read your Albies deals and remember the pre-Alaska days when my pantry was stuffed with boxes of cheap cereal and free bottles of salad dressing and bbq sauce!)
Tali says
Love,love, love, Mondays with Mavis!
Grace says
You’re simply amazing. Love the Albies score!
Jen says
I stocked up on more expensive stuff this week…like cat litter for $3.50 each and Coke ($2.75 each) and Dr Pepper ($0.90 each!) Also got some tide, cascade and dawn at Rite Aid and then used my $10 +up reward to get free make up today (paid $6 but will get $10 tomorrow)
Wishing I had bought more papers at the dollar store now because I want to get some of that planters trail mix for $0.39 each!
Heather says
It’s a sickness I tell ya…I am on vacation and grabbed my doubles before we drove out of the driveway Sunday only to quickly go online to locate the closest Albs to me while we are away! Today is it…we are trekking to Albies, like foraging through the wilderness…(my hubby is doing the eyeroll), but I told him that it’s kinda like a museum and an adventure so he is rolling with it! 🙂 Thank goodness he loves me!
Love the Mondays With Mavis! Happy 4th to you!
Jamie says
Mavis,
Had the best doubles moneymaker ever!!!! Bought the hormel tenderloin BOGO like LaToya and cheap butter too. I also used my everyday essential coupons to buy ketchup. It was supposed to be 4/5.00, but rang up at a dollar, so free. So why my biggest moneymaker?… I won a $5 cash prize and a $250 weekend getaway from the sizzlin’ summer sweepstakes! I’ve never won anything but free doughnuts and a can of pork ‘n beans all last year. I’ve also accumulated enough 250 points coupons to earn $10 on my club card. Oooohhhh yeahhhh… I’m living the high life!
