Upcoming Post Cereal Deal at Albertson’s

Albertson’s currently has a catalina deal going on for Post Cereal which will last until Sunday March 21st.  Starting next Wednesday, March 17th, they will also start a sale on Post Cereal, which you can then combine with the catalina. The word is that there should also be doubles for next week as well.

This means that we might be able to purchase FREE (or super cheap) Post cereal!  This sounds very similar to the Post cereal sale that happened around the same time last year.  I ended up purchasing 25 boxes of Post cereal last time and even though that sounds like alot, cereal goes pretty quickly in our house.  So, I will be stocking up even more for this deal!

The time frame for buying this cereal will be short - Wed 3/17 – Sun 3/21.  So, you definitely want to have your coupons in time for this sale! There was a $1/2 Post cereal coupon in the 2/28 Smartsource (SS) insert you’ll be able to use with this sale.

Order Coupons::

However, if you want to purchase more cereal boxes than you have coupons for – you’ll want to think about ordering coupons thru a coupon clipping site such as Coupon Clippers or order them off Ebay. You’ll want to do this soon to make sure they get here in time for this sale!!  What I like about this sale is you can get healthier cereals for such a great deal!! Definitely a super stockup time for me! I’m definitely ordering coupons so I’ll have plenty for this sale. You might also want to warn your Albertson’s to order extra cereal to prepare for all of us couponers who will be hitting the sale!

What is a catalina?

For those who are new to couponing, a catalina is the paper that prints from the box next to the register after you’ve paid for your items. They might be a manufacturer’s coupon to use on specific items or an “On your next order”  (OYNO) coupon (e.g. “Save $4 on your next purchase”).  So, I might make 2 transactions – receive a catalina on the first transaction for OYNO and then use  that catalina to pay for the rest of my purchases in the 2nd transaction. You typically have 2 weeks to use the catalinas.

Safeway & Albertson’s Cereal Deal – Today Only!

I’m just getting caught up after being off the computer all last night & today and found this awesome cereal deal going on at both Albertson’s & Safeway! But, you’ll have to hurry as it will only work today (Wednesday March 10th)!! It looks like your best bet is Safeway, although it’s still an awesome price at Albertson’s too!

Here’s the catalina deal (thru today) at both stores:

Buy select Kellogg’s cereals (Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks, Froot Loops, Corn Pops, Cocoa Krispies, Honey Smacks)

If you buy 3, get a $1 catalina back

Buy 4, get a $3 catalina

Buy 5, get a $4 catalina

Safeway also has a Buy 5, Get $5 instant savings promotion (so make sure you buy your cereal in groups of 5)

Even better, I’m hearing reports that there are blinkie coupons on the cereals mentioned (as well as on some of the healthier Kellogg’s cereals, which unfortunately are not included in the catalina deal, but the coupon will make these a better price).  So, make sure to look for the blinkie coupons (little blinkie machines right in front of the cereal boxes)

Here’s how to work the deal (once you buy your 5 cereals, you can “roll” the catalina & do the same deal again if you choose using your catalina to pay (although you may need to add in an extra item to use up all of your catalina)::

Safeway::

Buy 5 Kellogg’s select cereals (Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Froot Loops, Cocoa Rice Krispies) $1.50 each (reg. $2.50-when you buy 5, instant $5 savings)

Use 5 $.70/1 blinkie coupons

(If you can’t find these, there are $1/2 coupons in the 3/7 Red Plum insert – use 2 of these)

Final Price: $4 (if using the blinkie coupons) and receive a $4 catalina back = 5 FREE boxes of cereal (after catalina & coupons)

Use that catalina to roll the deal & buy another 5 cereals {just be courteous & don’t clear the blinkie machines of all the coupons}

Albertson’s:

Buy 4 Kellogg’s select cereals – priced at $1.88/ea    ($7.52 total)

Use (2) $1/2 coupons from 3/7 Red Plum insert

Final Price: $5.52, Get back $3 catalina  = $.63/ea (after catalina & coupons)

Thanks Krazy Coupon Lady & Frugal Living NW!

Albertson’s – Toilet Paper Stock-Up

Here’s another Albertson’s stock-up deal for you using the Twice-the-Value coupons in this week’s ad (good all week long thru next Tuesday 2/16).  Remember, you can print 2 of these coupons by hitting the back arrow – and if you printed them earlier like me, hopefully they will refresh in time to print more! You should always be able to pick up at least 1 more Albertson’s flyer at Customer Service each time you go.

Here’s how it works:

Angel Soft Toilet Paper is on sale for $4.99 for a 24 pk or 12 pk double roll

$1/1 Angel Soft 12 double pk or larger

1 Albertson’s Twice-the-Value coupon

Final Price: $2.99 for a 12 double pk or 24 pk

Thanks Bargain Jargon!

New Kellogg’s Coupons – Great with Albertson’s Sale this week!!

Albertson’s is having a sale on Kellogg’s cereals this week and what do you know, we have Twice-the-Value coupons that came out in today’s ad – good thru the whole week (thru next Tuesday 2/16).  Woo-hoo! I love when we have a whole week to use them!

Even better – there are some new high-value Kellogg’s coupons that just came out today which we should be able to pair up with the Kellogg’s sale & catalina starting tomorrow at Albertson’s.  So, make sure to print these coupons right away – who knows, we might get lucky & the coupons might reset once more before the end of the sale!

Here are the Kellogg’s coupons you can print at Coupons.com:

$1/1 Kellogg’s Smart Start

$1/1 Kellogg’s Special K Low-fat Granola, Raisin Bran Extra, or Frosted Mini Wheats

$2/2 Kellogg’s Special K Low-Fat Granola, Raisin Bran Extra or Frosted Mini Wheats

$1.50/2 Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, Cocoa Krispies & more

$1.50/2 Kellogg’s All-Bran, Crispix, Rice Krispies, Frosted Mini Wheats & more

We’re not sure which Kellogg’s cereals will be included in the Albertson’s promotion – the one they show in the ad is Frosted Flakes. Here’s how the sale would work with the coupons for Frosted Flakes (no doublers can be used on Frosted Flakes as you can only double coupons up to $1):

Buy 4 boxes of Frosted Flakes (12-20 oz) – on sale for $1.88

Use {2} $1.50/2 Kellogg’s coupons

Pay $4.52, Receive $3 catalina (to be used on a future order)

Final Price (including catalina): $1.52 for 4 boxes (or $.38/box)

I’ll be posting some more doubler ideas later – but head on over to Fabulessly Frugal for more Albertson’s deals! By the way, congratulations to the gals at Fabulessly Frugal for a feature on their local Idaho news station, KTRV, this evening!!

Albertson’s Doubles All Week Long

I apologize for my lack of posts the past few days – the last few days have been spent working on the monthly newsletter that I write for my local MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. I think I may have mentioned this before, but this year I’m on the Steering committee for MOPS and I’m the Publicity gal-which means I write the monthly newsletter & keep up the blog for our group as well! So, things always get a little crazy right around the beginning of the month as I finish up the 6 page newsletter! But, things will be back to normal tomorrow afternoon!

I didn’t get a chance to tell you earlier, but Albertson’s has “Twice-the-value” coupons for this week again–and this time, they last all week long! It’s been awhile since they’ve had doublers for the whole week!

You can find those Albertson’s doubler in the regular Albertson’s flyer (I receive mine by mail on Tuesdays, but yours may have come in today’s paper-Wednesday).  Make sure to check out the back page where you’ll find 3 Twice-the-Value coupons!

4-5 Coupon Inserts in Sunday’s Paper & Albertson Doublers!

The coupon companies are definitely starting the year off right with up to 5 inserts in tomorrow’s Sunday paper! It looks like the NW may only be getting 4 inserts, but that’s still a great start! For our area, there should be 2 Smartsource inserts and 2 Red Plum inserts. Other areas may get up to 3 SmartSource and 2 Red Plum inserts.  I’m most excited about those $2.50/1 Finish/Electrasol coupons and pairing that up with the Walgreens Register Reward deal this week!

If you’re wanting to get started couponing, this is a great time to start by grabbing a paper (or two) and start clipping those coupons! I’ll be sharing some basic couponing tips this month for those of you who are beginner couponers–so hold onto those coupons -I’ll share all about how to use them!

If you’re in the NW, you’ll also be excited to find out that Albertson’s will have 3 doublers in the Sunday paper as well.  Look for the one-page flyer for 3 Twice-the-Value coupons, which can be used thru Tuesday Jan 5th!  Check out The Coupon Project’s Albertson’s deal ideas HERE.

Here’s one *hot* deal that I’m excited about as our cereal supply has been getting a bit lower – time to stock up again::

Select Post Cereals – on sale for $1.50 (when you buy 4)
Use $1 off 2 coupon from 12/6 SmartSource
Use 1 Albertson’s Twice-the-Value coupon
Final Price: $.50/box 

Thanks Angela!

Albertson’s Shopping Trip – Pie, Ice Cream & Pasta Sauce

For those of you who are moms out there….oh my goodness, it is so nice to get out shopping without the kiddos! I was able to run in 3 different stores in about the same time it would have taken me to just go in 1 with my 2 little ones. I didn’t have too much time, but one of the deals I wanted to take advantage of was the Albertson’s pie deal.

Pie & Ice Cream – oh My!

Albertson’s is having an awesome deal on pie and ice cream this week! I was just in yesterday briefly and saw all the signs everywhere about it. I didn’t have any coupons with me since I wasn’t expecting to stop at the store…so I held off, but it sounds like the products are going quickly…so you’ll want to head in soon if you want to take advantage of this deal!
