My Thrifty Albertson's Deal

UPDATE!!


I calculated wrong, because the first price is supposed to be BEFORE


SALES, COUPONS and DOUBLES!!!!


I forgot to calculate the grapes BEFORE the sale price of .99/cents.


AND


I forgot to mention that I had TWO Catalinas, each a DOLLAR, so my total came down by $2, too!!!



BEFORE SALES, COUPONS AND DOUBLES: 


$35.95


AFTER:


$7.19


P1010037


Here's how I did it:


Seattle's Best Coffee:  $5.00


Ritz:  $2.50


Wheat Thins:  $2.50


=$10, but if I bought all three, I got $3 off instantly, therefore:  $7.00


Then, I had:


$1.50 Seattle's Best coupon + Double


$1.00 Ritz Coupon + Double


$1.00 Wheat Thins Coupon + Double


Total for those 3 items:  FREE


10 Kool Aids:  4/$1=$2.50 +.50 coupon=$2.00 + Double=  $1.50


2 Jolly Time Popcorns:  $1.67/each+2 $1.00 coupons=  $1.34+2 Doubles=  FREE


Grapes:  .99/lb  Bought 5.24 pounds=$5.19 (We love to freeze grapes, they're a great snack!!)


2 Darigold Milks:  $1/each+$1/2 coupon=$1.00+Double=FREE


Planter Double Nut Bars:  $2.50+$1.00 coupon=$1.50+Double=$.50


2 Albertson's brand Dry Onion Soup Mixes:  $1/each=$2.00


Grand total:  $7.19


ROCK ON!!

  2. Great shopping! But I don't understand the coffee/cracker combo deal...what does coffee have to do with Ritz or Wheat Thins so that you got $3 off when you buy all three? I guess I just don't understand manufacturers...

  3. I probably should have explained the promotion better, but I didn't want to confuse people!! It was a MIX and MATCH promo, where, out of about 50 different products, if you purchased at least $10 of any combination of them, you got $3 off instantly. The 2 crackers and the Seattle's Best were part of this promo, so that's why I got the $3 off. Look here:

    Maybe looking at the AD will help clear it up! :-)
    Do you guys have an Albertson's in CDA??
