HOT Albertsons Sale!!! (1/7-1/13)

Albertsons is having one of their infamous "buy a bunch of certain stuff in certain quantities and you'll save big" sales. The details are: "Spend $30 on participating items, and get a $15 coupon to use on your next shopping order."

If you are going to buy a lot of stuff then I highly recommend printing out this SPREADSHEET. It will help you keep track of how many you need to buy of each item in the different price brackets.

Some HOT deals include: Pampers baby dry and cruisers diaper jumbo packs. They are $10.00 and $10.69 a piece. Buy 3, and you'll get a $5 coupon for spending $25 on baby items, and a $15 coupon for the previously mentioned promotion. Add 3 manufacturers coupons (from the 12/28 P&G insert) and you've got yourself some cheap diapers (even without coupons).

General Mills cereals are $2.00, when you take advantage of the promo, it is like getting them for $1.00. There are always insert manufacturer's coupons, and if you don't have a newspaper subscription, take some time and print some coupons off the internet (boodle.com, smartsource.com, bettycrocker.com, pillsbury.com, boxtopsforeducation.com). You can usually print each coupon twice and remember not to photocopy them, it is illegal.

I'm planning on buying Total and Fiber 1 cereals for $.25 (after promo and $.75 off coupons)
Kix and Cheerios for $.50 (after promo and $.50 off coupons)
Fiber 1 toaster pastries for $.25 (after promo and $.75 off coupons)
Yoplait + yogurt for free (after promo and $1.00 off coupons)
Muffin mix (a splurge) for $.75 (after promo and $.50 off coupons)
Bisquick baking mix for $.25-.50 (after promo and $.75-$1 off coupons)
Green Giant boxed vegetables and 24 oz vegetables for $.40 and $.75(after promo and $.40-$.50 off coupons)
Cascadian Farms Natural cereal for $.67(after promo and $1.00 off coupons)
Fiber 1 complete pancake mix for $.67 (after promo and $1.00 off coupons)
Gillete Fusion razors for $.49(after promo and $4.00 off coupons)
Pantene pruducts for $.17(after promo and $1.50 coupons) and a couple of boxes of
Fruit Snacks (again a splurge) for .50(after promo and $.50 off coupons).

Other products are good deals too like cake mix, potatoes, hamburger helper, granola bars, puffs tissues, progresso soup, kids yogurt, minute maid OJ, and toothbrushes. I don't need or use those products. For a complete list check out Pinchingyourpennies at this LINK

ALSO, the front page of the ad has 2 Albertsons coupons that allow you to get a total of 6 coupons "doubled" up to a $1.00. Hand these to your cashier along with 6 $1.00 off manufacturer's coupons and you've just saved yourself another $6.00. The other in-ad coupons are pretty good, too (butter, cheese, potatoes, malt-o-meal-if you don't have enough GM cereals).

If you have a Happenings book there are coupons for $5 when you spend $50 at Smiths coupons. Albertsons will take these, thus saving yourself more $$$.
