Albertsons Double Deals

Every couple weeks, Albertsons drops a few twice the value coupons in the Sunday Paper that will double the value of a manufacturers coupon up to $1. This week you could also get them on Facebook, though I didn't bother. Anyway, this is generally the only time I go to Albertson's, because it's in Milwaukee, and Safeway is so much closer. This week, they were having a buy 10 save $5 promo on General Mills products, so I took advantage of that as well as getting a few other random things. I ended up spending $16.32 for $38.59 worth of stuff, for a total savings of 58%. I got: 4…

Thai Kitchen Bowls $.89 Each

Albertson's put out some twice the value coupons last week, which is generally a pretty good reason for me to drive to Milwaukee. Unfortunately, there were only two (usually it's three) and the match ups were not that exciting, so it actually took me needing to make a trip to get some stuff for dinner to go. And when I got there, a few of the deals I'd found were already wiped out. All was not lost however, as I found these Thai Kitchen noodle bowls on sale for $1.89 (usually $2.29) and I had a couple $1 off any two Thai Kitchen items. I was able to grab four,…

Coupon Lessons for Ben

With no job or aspirations, Ben Graham took an extra interest in my new couponing hobby. Well, first he talked a bunch of shit, and then he asked me to take him with me. Since Ben is helpless like a small child, I agreed and asked him what he wanted to buy. "I don't know, yummy food," he said. Helpful. We'd settled on Albertsons (the best deals were there this week), so I prepped a good trip full of bachelor food, and we were off. There were a few catalina offers this week, so we did two transactions for him. Transaction #1: 4 cans of Healthy Choice Soup (Regular $2.99,…

Albertsons for 88 Cents!

Last night Timbro threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to do a totally free shopping trip. While I've gotten plenty of items for free so far, I'm yet to walk out without paying anything because I have this pesky habit of buying things I actually need when I go shopping. Today though, I came pretty damn close at Albertsons spending $.88 out of pocket and saving $12.96 or 94%. I could have gotten out totally free, but we actually needed tortillas and they were on sale (with in ad coupon) for $.99, so I had to do it. I got: 2 loaves of Franz crushed wheat bread (regular $3.39,…
