Show and Tell ~ Albertsons

GOT CEREAL???

I had 12 coupons for Kelloggs cereal ($1/2) expiring tomorrow that I need to use. :)

My plan was to go in and make 4 transactions of 6 boxes of cereal each and pay $7 each transaction  but this is what happened.

Transaction #1 and 2

6 Kelloggs Cereal $1.66ea

   used 3 - $1/2 coupons that were in the boxes about a year ago that expired tomorrow.

2 apples

   used $1 off Fruit WYB 2 boxes of Kelloggs ~ peelie that was on one of the Kelloggs boxes.

1 ~ 12.6oz M&Ms $2.99

    used Free M&Ms WYB 2 Kelloggs cereal (peelie on one of these boxes of cereal.)

Grand total $7.12

and received 2 catalinas for FREE MILK

Milk is going for about $2.60ea  here, so I guess I only spent $1.92 more for all the items above than if I were just going to get 2 gallons of milk.

Transaction # 3 and 4

6 Kelloggs Cereal $1.66ea
     used 3 - $1/2 coupons that were in the boxes about a year ago that expired tomorrow.
1 Orange 
     used $1 off Fruit WYB 2 boxes of Kelloggs ~ peelie that was on one of the Kelloggs boxes.

1 gallon of Albertsons Milk $3.49
    used FREE Milk from transaction 1
Grand total $6.65
and received 2 catalinas for FREE MILK

The grand total was $27.54 for

24 boxes of Kelloggs cereal

2 gallons of milk

4 ~ 12.6oz M&Ms

4 apples

2 oranges

so that is 76.5 CENTS an item BUT I STILL HAVE 6 MORE CATALINAS FOR MILK!

Thats not all check out what I found in 4 of my boxes.

$5 more in coupons. WOOHOO!! This was a great trip!!

Smiths~ CASELOT sale 3/30 - 4/12/11







2 weeks Caselot sale time


The question I always get asked, "Do you have to purchase the whole case?"  NOPE you can get one item or the case. :)

Check out the entire ad HERE 

Albertsons 3/30/11 - 4/5/11

I have to admit I will be shopping at Albertsons this week.

Now you all know that I have a $1 limit on my cereal, BUT this week I have an exception.  WYB 3 boxes of participating Kellogg's, you get a catalina for a FREE gallon milk (up to 9 boxes and 3 gallons of milk)-. 
That ROCKS!  I am going to use the $1/2 coupons I received in other boxes of Kelloggs last year (they are expiring Thursday)

6 Kellogg's Cereal    3 for $5  or $1.66ea
 use 3 - $1/2
Pay $7
that is $1.16 each
and get 2 coupons for FREE MILK!!!!
I think the milk makes up for the extra 16 cents. :)

Albertsons eggs $.99

Strawberries B1G1  $3.99
  this is an ok deal they are trying to make it seem that you are getting a fantastic deal. NOT go to Vons and get a 1 lb for $1.28 that is a better deal for the 2lb

Bryers Ice Cream B1G2 free. You read right 2 free when you buy 1
the catch is that the first 1 is $7.79 woohoo you are getting NO DEAL HERE.  If you break the price down by the 3 that makes them $2.59 ea. That is a normal sale over at Smiths.  SHAME ON YOU ALBERTSONS FOR TRYING TO TRICK PEOPLE TO THINKING YOU ARE GIVING THEM A DEAL!!!!

Week of 10/6/10 Ads

I don't have lots of time right now but I wanted to let you know of a couple of deals I just spotted while glancing at the ads today. 
Albertsons is having an 8 hour sale but I didn't see anything on the sale that was a great deal. 
The only thing I personally saw at Vons is the Raspberries for $.99 (I HATE Raspberries but my husband loves them, I am thinking about making freezer jam for him.)

They have more on sale in the ads but this is just the major things that I saw for my family in the quick minute I had to look at it.  I will post any additional items if I see that they are a GREAT DEAL!

Vons this week

I just got home from Vons and I picked up 7 Crest toothpastes for FREE.

They are 99cents and I picked up Blinkie coupons from Smiths and Walgreens while shopping this past month. Anytime you guys see Blinkie coupons in the aisles of stores and you use the product, PICK THEM UP. I know that Colgate, Crest and Aquafresh WILL BE $1 at some point. So when I see $1 off coupons I grab as many as I can.

Also, I saw that Cheese Nips are 99 cents too.

Coupons used $105.49

Albertsons $20 next visit coupon

Walgreen $10 RR

TOTAL Out Of Pocket $42.66

Ads and Coupons and Savings OH MY!!! Albertsons

I went to Albertsons, which is not my favorite store because the prices are outrageous!

I had $20 for my next trip coupon that expires on the 17th. Better use the FREE money. :)



If I can get my total to $25 then I can get $10 off a turkey. I have NO idea how to cook a turkey but thought it is good to have in the freezer so if the paycheck gets low etc we have food for a while. :) Now you know my mission is to get my subtotal to $25


I decided that Sara Lee pie and a Breyers Ice cream was a good deal at $2.99 FOR BOTH. Click Here to print off Sara Lee Pie $1 off / 1. Making $3.98 for 2 pies and 2 ice creams.



1 Sara Lee Pies & 1 Breyers Ice cream

1 Sara Lee Pies & 1 Breyers Ice cream

4 oranges

2 Johnsonville sausage

2 toothpaste

5 hotwheel cars

1 10lb Turkey $10.53 - $10 off a turkey. I got that turkey for $.53 :D I am not sure how I did this but after all my coupons and the $20 Albertsons gave me last week my total was $2.19

Note: I really didn't NEED anything, I had $20 that I had to try and figure out how to spend as wisely as possible.

Ads and Coupons and savings OH MY!!! Target

I needed to know from Target directly how they want to handle

the price matching and see if they would accept a particular coupon (you know it was that GLADE buy a candle get the refill free LOL) The customer Service lady told me to bring all the items to her and she would help us. I picked up 5 glade oil scented candles and 5 refills. I don't think it was suppose to work but the wonderful CS lady made it happen. All the candles and refills were $2.50 each, for every 5 candles you will get a $5 gift card. (worth trying out) I had 5 - $1.50 coupons and 5 when you purchase a candle get a free refill. After all the coupons and tax my total was $6.22 and she gave me $10 in gift cards. :)

I just did the transaction above to see if it would work, when I saw that it did I got 10 more candles (I had more coupons)
For this transaction I got the same Glade candle and refill deal, then added the Clue game (Target marked $23.99) I showed her my Kmart ad that had this item for $14.99 she changed the price, plus I had a $5 Target printable and a $5/1 Clue printable . Making this item $4.99 + tax.

The same with the Picureka Flipper (Target Marked 23.99) Kmart had it for $14.99, had 1 $5.00/1 Target Coupon and 1 $5 Manufactor coupon making this item $4.99 + Tax. My total after all coupons $17.81. I gave her the $10 gift cards she just gave me and paid only $7.81 OOP Oh yah I also got $10 in giftcards for the candles in this picture. LOL

Thank you Couponing to Disney for this information.

Then I traveled to another Target because I wanted to get the alphebet pad Leapfrog for $.49 and was told that another Target had them. They were right they did have 6 but when getting

to the CS desk they said that we could not Price Match this item because it was a TIMED AD. (I am planning on researching that more because it seems that if Target can get out of accepting a coupon or price matching they WILL)

I needed to get another Clue and Pictureka (woohoo I am almost done shopping for the kiddos I need to shop for) I saw that they had Monsters Inc Blue Ray for $26.99 and Up Blue Ray for $19.99. I had 3 coupons that are explained here It worked out the same as noted on Kristin's blog except Monsters Inc was $3 more. For these 4 items I saved $38 in printable coupons. My grand total was $34.07, I gave her the $10 giftcards that I received at the other Target and then just paid $24.07 OOP

2 different Targets

10 candles

10 refills

2 Clue games

2 Pictureka Flipper

1 Monster Inc Blue Ray combo pack

1 Up Blue Ray combo pack
Total OOP price $38.10 not to bad HUH! That is less then the cost of the Blue Rays.

Ads and Coupons and Savings OH MY!!! Walgreen

I told you I was going to check out the Walgreen Register Rewards.

OK, so I saw that if you purchase $20 in Tylenol products, Benadryl products, Sudafed etc you will get $10 in RR. All of my medicine for the kiddos is expired and on my list anyway so why not check it out and see how this works. The first thing I noticed is that the sales prices were not on the product, I just had to hope that the right sales price would work on the register and I have my weekly ad ready for dispute. :)
I also picked up a Childrens Tylenol and Motrin BOGO half off. I needed to get my total to $25 to be able to use the $5 off coupon on the front of this weeks ad.
Now for you all that really know me, you know that I had my list and coupons with totals ready to go. I also had the products I was going to purchase with the $10 RR right then and there. I don't want time to lose this RR so better use it all now. LOL

My total was $21.72 after $13 in coupon. I have a flexible spending HEALTH debit card and all of the items in the above picture are covered under this plan, so I had NO out of pocket expense.

So apparently the $10 was burning a hole in my pants so I went to another Walgreens to try and get the items I was planning.

What I found out at Walgreen is that it is weird. I had coupons for all these items. At first I tried to pay for the Kotex and Johnsons baby wash with the $10 but the computer would not let me use it, even though my subtotal was $11. After adding Baking Powder with a coupon ($.50) it worked. I have no idea WHY. Oh well I paid $2.37 OOP and have another $1 RR for my next visit. I hope I don't lose it before it expires 11/28. Total coupons used for this transaction $4.49

week ~9/20/09

I know I have said this before but from what I understand this is the last few days of the caselot sale. If you need soups, tomatoes, tomato sauce/paste, etc you should really check it out. I have not seen these prices this low since the last caselot sale in March or April.

REMINDER: You do not have to purchase the whole case!!!! If you only want 1 get 1.

:)

Smiths case lot

http://smithsfdsmail.com/15d6c40eblayfousia6ix52yaaaaabbz5zgcbr5r6kmyaaaaa

This is Smiths ad this week. They have some great savings. Coupons are accepted
http://getbacktothetable.com/ this link will get you a coupon for $1 off 3 cans of Libby veggies. That would make 3 cans a total of $.50. That sounds like some great savings to me.

Along with the caselot they also have 40lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts 1.39 lb ready to freeze. That is a GREAT deal.

Don't forget if you are a Christmas baker etc the flour, sugar, honey and oil is on this sale too. Why not stock up and pay less now for the holidays.

FYI ~ You can purchase things seperately as well.

Last page of the ad. If you don't get one then I have a link to the Albertsons ads listed on the right side of this blog.

Vons
Pork shoulder country style ribs bone in .97lb

Vons is advertising $1 deals. Well sorry but I really don't think that they are that great of a deal. For example: Pasta Roni $1 that is not a deal. 2 liter of Pepsi. (look at Smiths) Just not that great for me to bother with.

That is my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

Planning

The sale ads usually come in Tuesdays mail. What I would suggest you all do, is make a list of 7-10 meals that your family loves with the ingredients that you need for each one. Then when the ads come tomorrow you will have an idea of what is on sale and then you can plan according to your list as well as the sales. The reason I say 7-10 meals is, if you have a dinner including salmon and salmon is $9.99lb, maybe this week is not the best week to be having that for dinner. So be willing to keep the "salmon" on your list until the price comes down. When it does come down maybe you can pick up enough for 2 or more meals and freeze them, then you will be able to have salmon even if the price went back up for the cheaper price.

I will post more tomorrow after viewing my ads.

Have a great night.

But Geri....

I am getting ALOT of emails about the way I shop and how I "stock" up on food when they are on sale/coupons etc

I am hearing........

- I don't have a lot of food in my pantry so I can't get extra food every week, I need to worry about this weeks meals and then I will have nothing left.

- I just don't have time to make a weekly grocery list, I shop everyday for the things I need.

Whatever your excuse is for not being able to get extra food when it is on sale. I am here to tell you that if you just clip coupons, and plan your grocery trips by the ads, you will save more money and have a FULLY stocked pantry, freezer, and refrigerator!!!!

HINT: Every 12 weeks the same products will be on sale.

What you see in this picture is what I just went out and got from Smiths. (the plan I posted in my last post)

2 Eggos

2 Keeblers cookies

2 Rice Krispies

2 Mini wheats

2 Yogos

1 gallon of milk

2 loafs of bread

2 pkgs of Danimals

3 peaches

after all coupons and discounts my total was $7.12 remember that same Kelloggs rebate program is still going on, so you could get money back to get all of these groceries.

In this picture you see my second transaction. Remember 4-$4 on Kelloggs at Smiths (Camino El Norte)



2 Eggos


1 box of Raisin Bran


1 Frosted Flakes


3 lbs of Bananas


4 plums

After all my coupons and discounts... My total was $1.92

So needless to say, it is hard for me to understand that you can't come up with another $2 or $8 to have all of these extras in your pantry for your family. Isn't $8 less then the price of 2 value meals at most fast food restaurants?

If you make a goal of even $5 a week extra for sales items, you will be surprised at how fast you will have so much in your pantry.
Please believe me and just try it out for one month.
*** I challenge you all to take an extra $5 and if chicken is on sale for a great price get $5 more of it and freeze it, if ground beef, cereal, can veggies, whatever it is, get a little extra every week and before you know it you will have enough food in your house that if you "didn't feel like" shopping that week, you would not have to. :D <--- What a great goal! On top of everything else, this Rice Krispies has ANOTHER $5 savings pack inside. (got 2) LOL

Be careful with the coupons and getting things on sale for a GREAT price, it can be addicting. You will start looking forward to seeing what is on sale and how much you will save.

Being a Proverbs 31 women, what a great addiction!

I hope I didn't hurt anyones feelings, I am not trying to do that. I am just trying to bring up that ANYONE can save money if they take just a little extra time to plan. I love you all and want you all to be good stewards of the money that GOD has given you. If I can do this anyone can!

more savings I just found

So I was finally re-organizing my pantry to fit the 8 MORE boxes of cereal in and I realized that two of my Rice Krispies had $5 coupon packs in the boxes. What do you think I did??? Yep, I opened it up and found that I had 2- $1 coupons for one box of cereal. (if you remember they are 4- $4 at Smiths on Camino El Norte) , 1- $1 off 2 boxes of Mini Wheats, 1- $1 off 2 boxes of Eggos, $.50 off one box of Yogos, and then last week I picked up at Albertsons a pack of coupons promoting the fuelforschools I have attached a copy of them in this post.

I am going to go back to Smiths with all these coupons that I just picked up. If you need the Fuelforschool pack, I picked mine up at the Albertsons on Vegas and Buffalo. (they are manufactors coupons, so you can use them ANYWHERE)

Smiths Kelloggs sale is 4-$4 (only at Ann and Camino El Norte) Max. 8 But if you get 10 you can participate in the Fuelforschools.com rebate $10 check.

Here is my list and coupons
2 mini wheats..... cost 2............ coupons 1 off
2 eggos .................cost 2 ...........coupons 1 off
1 yogos................. cost 1 ...........coupon .50 off
1 fruit snacks .......cost 1
1 Raisin Brand..... cost 1 ............coupon 1 off
1 Rice Krispies ......cost 1............ coupon 1off now I have to pay full price for the next 2
2 Keebler ..............cost 4
-----------------------------------------------
............................cost 12 .........coupons 4.50 $7.50 but I am getting a check for $10 rebate.

But that is not all, I have attached the Fuelforschool coupons I am talking about. I am not only getting all the above but I am also getting

$2 off bread,
$2 fresh fruit,
$2 off milk,
$2 off Danimals,
and $2 off Craisins.

Not too bad for about $7.50 ish (depending on the price of Danimals, Craisins, and the fruit I get. But no matter what I am still getting the $10 check back in the mail from Kelloggs.
