Albertsons Doubler Trip 7/17 - Liking the New Twice The Value Policy!

Albertsons was so much less stressful this morning! I showed up around 10:30 a.m. and there were a few other couponers in the store with their binders. I still use my ghetto envelope system so I felt a little shame. Anyway, overall the store was quiet AND all the deals were in stock! Hurray!

Spent $10.36, saved $42.73!


Transaction #1
  • Mission tortillas - $0.99 with in-ad coupon
  • 2 Nature Valley Granola Thins - $2.50 each
  • Honey Nut Cheerios - $2.50
  • Lucky Charms - $2.50
    • Used two $0.75 Nature Valley Thins coupons (from 6/26 SmartSource)
    • Used one $1.00/2 General Mills cereal (6/19 SmartSource)
    • Used three doubler coupons
  • Spent $5.99, saved $15.26
  • Received $4 in catalinas plus a free milk catalina worth $4.50

Transaction #2
  • 20 Yoplait yogurts - $0.60 each
  • 2 Odwalla bars - $1.00 each
  • Gallon of 1% milk (my nephew is coming to visit Saturday!) - $3.79
    • Used two $1.00/10 Yoplait (from 6/12 SmartSource)
    • Used one $1.00/2 Odwalla products (from QFC booklet)
    • Used three doubler coupons
    • Used all catalinas from Transaction #1 (-$2.00, -$2.00, $4.50 for milk)

  • Received $2 catalina from Yoplait

Transaction #3
  • Small Frank's Red Hot Sauce - $1.59
  • Pretzel M&Ms - $2.99 (again for house guests...hope these last until then!)
  • Emerald Breakfast to Go - $2.50
    • Used one $1 off Emerald Breakfast to Go printable
    • Used one $1 off pretzel M&Ms from 6/19 RedPlum
    • Used one $1 off Frank's from 5/15 SmartSource
  • Spent $1.08, saved $8.59 
  • (I didn't quite plan this right since it was too cheap to use my last catalina, but I was able to use the catalina later at Fred Meyer)

Total spent $10.36, total saved $42.73 (almost 81%!) plus $2 catalina

Could I have used more doublers if Albertsons still had them at customer service? Of course...but my walk-in pantry is pretty stockpiled with about 7 or 8 boxes of cereal, and we have yogurt now for two weeks (2 people x 10 weekdays = 20)...so I'm happy with my Twice the Value shop today. :)
