Albertson's Doubler Run 7/19

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

Got 2-$2 catalinas and a FREE milk catalina

  3. That 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. :)
