Albertsons week of Oct 15-21

Well, I never did get a sneak peak at the ad.  I never even got my ad in the mail yesterday!!!  Whats up with that?

Am I not supposed to go this week, is this a sign???  

Well, here are the greatest deals anyway.

10 for $10 (must buy 10)

Hamburger Helper use 75/3 coupons from inserts (or if you were lucky enough to print the IPs from last week) and clip $10/10 Fred Meyer coupon from their ad = .25 each!!

Betty Crocker Box Potatoes use recent .40/1 coupon = .60

Progresso Bread Crumbs (old $1/2 IP no longer available)

Betty Crocker Frosting (old .55/1 IP no longer available)

Betty Crocker Warm Delights use .50/1 from insert= .50

Other Deals

Yoplait Yogurt is 20/$10 - $1/4 Light Yogurt Coupon (I hope they will be part of the sale) or use .40/6 from insert if you are desperate = (with IP) .25

Cheerios will be 2.00 each when you buy 10, good if you have any coupons

Mulitgrain Cheerios or Cinnamon toast Crunch will be 1.50 when you buy 10

Wheat Thins or Triscut are 4 for $10, buy 4 cracker get Free Kraft chunk or Shredded cheese.  Plus, buy your crackers before the 17th to get a $4 catalina coupon.  SO, 4 crackers + 1 cheese= $6 

Also in back of ad '24 ways to get FREE CANDY', or an Albertsons Frozen Pizza.  I wasn't real impressed by the deals. (you will need coupon from Albertson ad for these)  Best I saw;

Smart Balance 2 for $6 (use 2 $1/1 insert coups)= $4 +free candy

Old Orchard Healthy Balance Juice is 2 for $5 - $1/2 coupon from insert= $4 + free candy

Filipio Berio Olive oil is 6.99 - $1/1 coupon (print using my left Coupons.com sidebar)= 5.99 + free candy

As always, Happy Shopping. 

and lets hope next week I get to see some ads!!

Super Sample Sunday!

Well, this is all I can locate for freebies this week and I think I left something out...  Any who, thats moving for you!!

And I got a bunch of free groceries at the commissary, see last post.

What freebies did you get this week?

Always time for a great garage sale!

We are really busy moving this weekend but I spotted a great garage sale on Craigslist and just had to go.  I got going early, swung by to pick up my mom and headed to the next town to a really nice garage sale.  

I got my first Ergo!!  Here is the exact one I just got!!  It was in the package and the lady said she barely used it.  I love it already.  For those who know me I am faithful to my Slinglings baby sling, I have been using it since her birth.  But I have been ready for a soft pack again (the Baby Bjorn was great when she was tiny) as the hip-carry position gets a little tiring after a while.  Anyway, the asking price was $50, which is a steal, the cheapest I could find used on-line was about $85 (new $105).  I didn't even consider talking the price down as I heard a few other women ask if it was still for sale.

We also got a few other fun things, my mom got a huge stack of board books at .25 each and some other great toys.  I spotted these wood toys (total for these 3.50!!) and cant wait to see her use them in a few months (age recommended said 18 months).

$6 at the Commissary

Well, there silly little slogan "Commissary, its worth the Trip" is really true.  Using coupons here is an example of what $6 will buy.

South Beach Diet bars 1.89- $2 IP (no longer available) =.11 profit

Kraft Easy Mac Cups .60 each - $1/2here = .10 each

and the winner is...

With Help from the (free) Research Randomizer, lucky number 3 won my Free Soap giveaway!!

So, Pam, if you are reading this I just emailed you!!!

Sorry for all of you who did not get a chance to sign up (I know many of my regular commenters didn't get entered)  Yes, I was very discrete about it as to not attract non-readers.  I will have another give-away next week so be on the lookout!

Albertsons week of Oct 8-14

A few goodies this week.  Just a few, but worth the trip.

Arm and Hammer Detergent is BOGO.  Use 2 $1/1 coupons. Buy the 2 detergents and get 1 Essentials cleaner free.  Use one $1/1 coupon for the cleaner 'starter kit' and send for your full rebate (use rebate in last sundays paper).  Total for these 3 items? 19 cents!!

6.39 (1st det.)

-$1 coup

free( 2nd det)

-$1 coup*

3.19 (essentials cleaner)

-3.19 back at register

- $1 coupon*

-3.19 mail in rebate

= .19

*not all cashiers will take a coupon on a 'free' item (but mine did!!)

Also the Valley Fresh Steamers are .99 this week.  Works great with all the $1 coupons from recent inserts and the printables HERE.   

The Albertsons Pop is also 1.79 per 12 pack.  A good enough deal I think. (my husbands caffeine fix)

Coffee Mate Creamer is 1.67 and $1/1 coupons can be found HERE.

(But be careful, not all cashiers will take these if the register beeps as the price of the coupon is over the value of the product.  My last of 10 coupons beeped and she just wouldn't give it to me, but I was okay with that because I had some catalinas to use up and paying for one wasn't that big of a deal.  If she had turned more down I would have requested not to purchase the items and gone back later to a different cashier.  I have found the younger ones push the coupons through more often. I mean hey, the store will get reimbursed for the full dollar so whats the big deal???)

Happy Shopping!
