Albertsons Trip (May 14)

I also ran to Albertsons today. I did a lot better there than I did at Wal-Mart. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...



$7.44, and I saved $76.48 (over 90%!!)

In order for me to do this, I did two separate transactions. Remember, Albertsons will double/triple coupons, but they will only do this on 4 of the exact same coupons, since I had more than 4 Steamfresh coupons, I had to do two different transactions. Also, they will accept Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks (but only one per transaction). I had 2 different Extra Care Bucks (one $10.00 and one $2.00). In order for me to use both of them, I had to do two different transactions.

Here's how I did it:

Transaction #1:

4 bags of Steamfresh Vegetables $1.00 each (regularly priced at $1.99)
-used 4 coupons for $0.50 off Steamfresh Vegetables (found in 5/2 SmartSource insert) (these were all doubled)
Final Price: FREE!!

2 bags of Wacky Mac Pasta $1.49 each
-used 2 coupons for $0.50 off Wacky Mac Pasta (found here) (these were both doubled)

4 Hormel Pork Roasts $3.99 each (regularly priced at $9.99)
