For the most part, I’m really happy with what I picked up this morning at Albertsons. Since I’ve started gardening this year and making the time to cook more homemade meals for my family, I haven’t brought to much “crap food” into the house these past few months.
But every once in a while I like to splurge and get the boys some of their beloved junk food. So when I noticed I could score some multigrain Pringles for just $.17 a can after coupons, I was like heck yeah, I’ll buy them a few cans. Everything in moderation, right?
Here is what I picked up this week.

Multigrain Pringles – $1.67 each

***The Activia Breakfast blend yogurt was incorrectly marked with the wrong tags at the store I shopped at. The breakfast blend yogurt was not part of the sale and was supposed to be marked $3.29 each. I was the first one to discover this so I got the advertised shelf price, and then the store removed the incorrect tag.
Did you make it to Albertsons today?
If so, what did YOU buy?

-bought 3 = $6 total
-(3) $1/1 + (3) TTV

transaction 2:
-bought 4 = $8
-(4) $1/1 + (3) TTV
-$1 cat from transaction #1

then I just repeated transaction 2 and kept the extra catalinas!

I did several transactions of the Healthy Choice Bakes w/ a .75 coupon. paid $1 and got a $1 catalina. Then I doubled the catalinas and purchased several 1.5 pound packages of boneless skinless chicken breasts for nearly free. My local store had these as an in store special at 1.49 per pound. Love turning free frozen lunches into CHEAP MEAT for the freezer.

IMO, Albies was a bust this week. I had already gotten the free Pringles at Walmart last doubler time. And personally, I have a hard time with the doublers and the CATs. Just a pain in the….to keep track of rolling it and having to have another item to double it and all that. So I didn’t go. I do have my coupon pack and doublers ready though and will roam the aisles today and see if there’s any smokin’ in-store deal. Be careful with that Activia….it makes me gooooo… 😉
Mavis says
Ha! Thanks for the heads up on the Activia. I agree, the deals were not that great and rolling the cats can be a pain. I keep waiting for the deals on baking supplies. Hopefully they will be soon.
Tali says
so far I only did the Pantene Deal (coupon connection listed it), in short I paid $4.05 for 2 shampoo and 2 conditioners ($1 each) but got (2) $1 cat that I will double today so it was free. I work 12 hours shifts and just did the deal to use the coupon that expired 9/30. I also got some pasta. It was the Albertsons kind.
Buy 5 EE (everyday essential) pasta $5
use EE $1/$5 q (expired 9/30)
Pay $4
Get $1 cat (store q can’t double)
Wash rinse repeat x4
Get $5 Saving star
so $7 for 20lb of pasta
