Update on Nature Valley Thins

If you read the post yesterday, I was pretty bummed that both Albertson's Stores near me were out of the Nature Valley Thins that were triggering some great catalinas.  Today I went in and asked the manager if I could pre-pay for some and then just pick them up when they came in.  He let me do that since they were still going to be able to order them at the price point for the week through today.  I just had to fill out a special request form and then take it up to the cashier.  Of course, if you are thinking of doing this as well, you should definitely ask the store manager before doing so.  I went in this morning when there weren't many people, so it wasn't a huge ordeal.  However, if you go during rush hour, the manager may not let you do this.  Here is what I was able to get today (no picture because most of it is still coming in the mail):

Transaction #1

5 Nature Valley Granola Bars, on sale for $2.50
-$0.75/1 from 6/26 SS x 5
-3 Doublers
TOTAL OOP  $6.50
Got a FREE Milk Catalina for buying 4 participating products, a $3 OYNO for purchasing 5 Nature Valley, and a $5 OYNO (BONUS catalina)

Transaction #2

5 Nature Valley Granola Bars, on sale for $2.50
-$0.75/1 from 6/26 SS x 5
-3 Doublers
-$5 OYNO from above
TOTAL OOP  $1.50
Got a FREE Milk Catalina for buying 4 participating products, a $3 OYNO for purchasing 5 Nature Valley, and a $5 OYNO (BONUS catalina)

Transaction #3

TOTAL OOP  $0.18

So, today I spent $8.18.  I saved $45.28.  AND I got 2 FREE milk catalinas, 2 $5 OYNO catalinas and 2 $3 OYNO catalinas.  I used two of those catalinas already, so I MADE $8 in catalinas and 2 gallons of milk from these transactions (so I basically am only spending $0.18 for all of that!).
