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)
Final Price: $0.98 (or $0.49 each)

1 bag of Baby Carrots $1.00 (regularly priced at $1.99)

4 Hormel Pork Roasts $3.99 each (regularly priced at $9.99)
-used 4 coupons for $1.00 off Hormel Always Tender product (found in 5/2 SmartSource insert)
Final Price: $11.96 (or $2.99 each)

Plus I used a $10.00 Extra Care Buck

Final Price for Transaction #1: $3.94

Transaction #2:

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)
Final Price: FREE!!

5 bags of Skinner Pasta $0.75 each (regularly priced at $1.39)
-used in ad coupon to make Skinner pasta $0.50 each when you buy 5
Final Price: $2.50 (or $0.50 each)

6 cans of Wolf Chili $1.00 each (regularly priced at $2.19)
-used 3 coupons for $0.50 off 2 Wolf Chili (found in 3/28 SmartSource insert)(these were all doubled)
Final Price: $3.00 (or $0.50 each)

2 bottles of Tabasco Sauce $1.00 each (regularly priced at $1.59)
-used 2 coupons for $0.50 off Tabasco Sauce (found here) (these were both doubled)
Final Price: FREE!!

Final Price for Transaction #2: $3.50

My final cost for everything was $7.44. Coupons really do work if you wait and match them up with sale prices!! How are you guys doing on your shopping trips this week?
