LAST DAY for Twice the Value coupons this time around. I waited until this afternoon to go, which probably wasn't the best since most of the items on sale were out already. Luckily, I have a pretty decent relationship with my Albertson's so I am able to pre-pay for things now if they are out of stock. This is really useful when items I want have catalinas attached to them that will only print until a specific date. I could get a raincheck, but some of these deals are only good BECAUSE of the catalinas. Take the "breakfast" promotion right now at Albertsons. If you buy any 4 participating items, you get one $2 from the manufacture, one $2 catalina from the store AND a free milk catalina. These cereals/bars aren't that great of a price even on sale, but when you factor in catalinas, you can get stuff for VERY cheap! Here is what I did today (note there is no picture because I don't have the items yet):
Transaction #1
4 Fiber One Brownies, on sale for $2.50--These are what I pre-payed for
-$0.75/1 from 7/17 SS x 4
-Doublers x 3

TOTAL OOP $0.75
Got 2-$2 catalinas and a FREE milk catalina

Hi I took one of your classes. Thats good to know about the prepay, im not sure theyll do it for me but I guess ill try next time. I had all my coupns ready for the cereals but both albertsons all gone. I tried two days in a row. Bummer, the catalinas woulve been nice.
ReplyDeleteBut on a better note I saved $60 paid $27 got $6.75 in catalina 2 free milk and a good deal on mission soft tortilla for .99 a piece and they were whole wheat. I still have yet to pay less than $20 but im saving so im happy hope I can get better at this. and a whole bunch of groceries!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! Way to go! My goal is always to save at least 50%. Looks like you did that PLUS you have catalinas to offset what you actually paid. :)
