Albertsons deals Week of April 16-22 (pac NW stores)

Albertsons wants to be sure our cereal supply is not getting low (mines not!!)

The best advertised deal I have found is a Quaker deal of 10 products for 15.00, then adding a $3 discount at register with purchase of the 10 items. I can combine this with a few coupons to get most or all items for 0.20 each.  I just came back from Albertsons after only doing the Quaker scenario and paid 2.90 out of pocket!  I will post pics saturday.

I love my pantry!

We did finally finish our pantry.  We finished it late last week, but with company over the weekend I didnt bother to post it.  

I am so happy with it, it is HUGE, hard to tell from the pics, but 4-6 adults could stand in it comfortably with the door closed.  I am able to be so organized now.  A huge money and time saver.  No longer do I have to buy items at full price last minute because I cannot find them in the pantry.  (remember, my pantry was a 'pantry within a pantry' buillt into the framework of the house in 1939) 

Free Good Housekeeping Magazine

For those of you who dont read Money Saving Mom you did not hear about this great freebie site offering magazines in trade for your time. AdPerk is a wonderful company that offers free magazines in trade for watching advertisements. It was really easy to do and now I get a free year long subscription of Good Housekeeping!! It only took me about 15-20 minutes and I did it while nursing then playing with my baby. They also had a few other choices as well, I think I will do it again and get Popular Science for my husband.

Join Goozex, a video game trading site and recieve 1 free trade credit and 100 points.  Joining is free, there are no fees and no credit card is required.  Though this is not something I have signed up for, so I cannot promise anything but it really looks like a great thing!

I got to glance at the Rite Aid ad today and I saw some great deals with lots of freebies, I will post in the morning, it was a really busy day. We just got home from a late birthday dinner for my little brother. Happy Birthday Sean!

In the mean time follow this link to the Pinecone Research Ad at the top of the page if you are interested in surveys and research panels. They are a hard to find group that apparently pays decent for its volunteers. I just signed up a week ago as I have heard so many great things about them. Good luck!
