Albertsons this week 10/14-10/20

Well, I must confess that I was too "overwhelmed" to look at the Albertsons grocery list on tuesday and on Wednesday night decided to make sure I wasn't missing a great sale and boy....I really was. So, you can come up with your own scenarios to get the spend $25 get $10 back or you can follow some of the ones that I am running with this week. Be aware that two other catalina deals overlap with the one I referred to above. They are the Pillsbury products and Betty Crocker Fruit snack.

Pillsbury: Crescents, Cookies, Sweet Rolls, Grands products, Pie Crusts, Dinner Rolls, Loaves, Breadsticks & Pizza Crust

Buy 3, Get $2 Catalina
Buy 4, Get $2.50 Catalina
Buy 5+, Get $3 Catalina

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks: Fruit Shapes, Fruit By The Foot, Fruit Gushers, Fruit Roll-Ups & Fruit Roll-Up Stickerz

Buy 3, Get $1.50 Catalina
Buy 4, Get $2 Catalina
Buy 5+, Get $3.50 Catalina



Today this is what I did:

$12.50 5 fruit snacks (I am going to use some of these for a pinata filling for a neighborhood harvest party we are having)

$5.00 2 Yoplus Yogurts
$3.34 2 Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
$5.00 3 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
Total=$25.84

2 $1.00/1 Yoplus yogurt (both printables and newspaper options for this too)
$1/1 Pillsbury Grand Cinnamon Roll
$1/2 Pillsbury rolls
$1/2 Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
OOP $20.84

Received $10 catalina, $3.50 from fruit snacks, $3 from Pillsbury

Plan to roll those tomorrow with this combination

$8.00 4 Progresso Broth
$4.00 2 Gold Medal Flour (printables at Eatrightamerica.com)
$6.00 3 Cheerios or other cereals
$6.00 3 Steamer vegetables

Total=25.67
Coupons:
4 .50/1 broth coupons (paper and coupons.com, eatrightamerica.com)
2 .50/1 flour
1 $1/1 Cheerios printable
1 $1/2 GM cereal coupon
3 .50/1 Steamer vegeables (coupons.com etc)
1 .40/1 cookie pouch

$18.77 plus pay with $16.50 in catalinas OOP= $2.27!

I will receive another $10 catalina which I will buy a couple whole chickens with since they are cheap this weekend .69/lb.

Anyway, this is just what I am doing based on my coupons and what my pantry needs. Of course we do not need biscuits or cinnamon rolls but for the fact that they end up being almost free and get me to my first $25, it is worth it for me to put them in the cart. Post your scenarios too!


Now what if the Sunday paper has double coupons? Might be worth waiting at least until then to find out......

Need some FREE items?

OK, this is the week of freebies at Rite Aid! Check out this post below for all the details. I went today and bought the items that we will use or that I could donate to the Food Pantry at church and used the $5/$25 to get some free candy for Halloween trick or treaters(considering that I got to $25 on free items after rebate) I love this sale, it gets me ready for cold/flu season every year without paying a dime
