Fun Deal at Albertsons

I must admit I personally am a hot dog snob. If I'm buying hot dogs that I will be eating they have to be "beef." Sadly, my kids eat whatever I buy which often = cheapie ones.

Anyway, if you don't care about what kind of hotdogs your family eats, then here is a deal for you:

Ball Park Franks are Buy 1 get 2 free at Albertsons through next Tuesday. The first one cost $3.99. So $3.99 for 3 packages of dogs. Now I know your saying, "That's crazy, why don't I go to Macey's and buy the John Morrell kind for .50 a package." This is where it gets fun. There are coupons on the hot dog buns for buy 2 hotdogs get buns free. There are also coupons by the hotdogs for "buy 1 hot dog and 1 bun get a 12 pk of coke free, up to $4.99." Then, there is a deal for buy 2 coke 12 packs get 3 free (the 2 you pay for are $5.99 and the coupon is only good up to 4.99, so you have to pay a $1 for them). So, if you combine all the coupons and promotions you can get this...

6 packages of hotdogs
3 packages of hotdog buns and
6 12 packs of Coke for...
$10.98

Perfect for your Labor day picnic.

****ETA:**** If you do want Beef hotdogs...You can buy 4 Oscar Meyer Beef Franks for $7 (they are 4 for $10 - the $3 kraft promotion)

OR, you could go to Smiths (or price match at Walmart) and get Ballpark BEEF franks for $2.50. If you had the coupons I mentioned you could get 2 pks hotdogs, 1 package of buns, and 2 coke 12pk for $5.00. The coupons needed are found in stores (not in your Sunday inserts) so this only works if your store *happens* to have the coupons (who wants to take that chance?) or if you've gathered the coupons beforehand and held on to 'em waiting for a sale...(if you see a coupon "tearpad" and it is for a product you use definitely take a couple. If the product isn't at a buying point then, save it for later).
