Albertsons Trip 6/12 with Doublers

Today's Albertsons trip was epic! With coupons and doublers, I saved 90%! I tried my luck at the Gig Harbor Albertsons and everyone was so friendly...I may start making it my store of choice again. They said people were waiting outside when the store opened, which is beyond me since the same deals were there when I went after church at 10:30 a.m.

Here is my haul...this includes almost 14 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast (from the butcher) and thighs and legs. There was so much stuff I feel like my photo doesn't do it justice. For the record, I used a lot of coupons but only nine doublers.

Spent $11.85, saved $100.98

Transaction #1

• 2 gift cards totaling $100 (Macy's for wedding present and Starbucks for me, not in photo)
• 3 Ronzoni pasta (had raincheck) - free with coupon (no doubled needed)
• 3 Weber Grill Marinades - free with coupon (no double needed)
• 1 Lysol Cleaner - .50 after double
• 1 Ken's Salad Dressing - free after double
• 1 Food Should Taste Good chips - .50 after double
• My cashier gave me coupon overage so all the groceries only cost me 11 cents! Total out of pocket was $100.11 and I received a $20 catalina to spend on my next transaction with the awesome Albertsons gift card promo.

Transaction #2

• 3 Old Spice deodorant ($2 each after coupon but will receive catalina on this order)
• 3 Old Spice body wash (free with coupon)
• 1 Frank's mini hot sauce - free with double
• 1 Food Should Taste Good chips - .50 after double
• Paid $6.06 + tax out of pocket, received $5 off my next order (from Old Spice stuff)

At this point, I have $25 in catalinas to use on my final transaction!

Transaction #3

• 5 gallon size ziploc bags - $1.79 each after coupon
• 2 Glad plastic wraps - $1.50 each after double
• 1 Kraft shredded cheese - $.99 after double
• Fructis shampoo - $.50 after double (not the nicest but I love the smell!)
• Mushrooms - $2.49 (not a good deal but needed for grilling today)
• Chicken thighs/legs (7.8 pounds) - $.88/lb
• Boneless skinless chicken breast (5.4 pounds) - $1.99/lb

I used my $5 off $25 coupon that I got via email, as well as the $5 catalina and $20 catalina from previous transactions, so I only paid $4.15 out of pocket!

Total out of pocket: $11.85
Total saved: $100.98
Savings: 90%


Clearly we eat a lot of chicken. It's also a BBQ friendly option. I had been trying to eat organic chicken but it was so pricey that I only buy it when it's on a sweet sale. Albertsons chicken breasts are from the butcher which I prefer over pre-packed. Honestly, my husband touches all raw chicken in the house anyway so it's all good.

If you have any questions, feel free to post...you can only do this deal through Tuesday 6/14, but the gift card promo is running through Saturday 6/18, so I may do it again and buy a Home Depot gift card since we seem to shop there constantly anyway.

Coming tomorrow... Walgreens deals. :)
