Ode to Albertsons

Sorry for not posting my finds last week, but I was too sick to do anything. Now that I have taken my drugs and the illness is finally going away, I have the energy to blog about my latest shopping experience. I did shop at all three stores today, but I bought the majority of my items at Albertsons. I did so well there today, that I have dedicated this post to Albertsons.

But before we get to Albertsons, I did find some good deals at Tom Thumb. I had a coupon for $1.50 off of 2 Post cereals with a purchase of 1 gallon of any milk. Since I need milk anyways, I choose to buy my milk at Tom Thumb so I could use this coupon on the store's Post cereal sale. Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles are on sale 3 for $5. Which if you do the math is about $1.67 a box. If you subtract my $1.50 coupon, then I got 2 boxes of Post cereal for 92 cents each! Tom Thumb also has the Vegetable Classic Progresso soups on sale for a dollar each. I still had a 50 cents off of 2 coupon from a couple of weeks ago. I also checked my Cellfire coupons and sure enough I still had a 50 cents off of 1 Progresso soup coupon. So when I went to check out, Tom Thumb doubled my 50 cents off of 2 coupon and applied my Cellfire coupon to drop the price to 25 cents a can! Now that was an awesome deal! I did buy other things at Tom Thumb, but those were my best finds at the store. In the end, I paid $14.37 and saved $19.45. That is a 57% savings!

Now finally to my favorite store of the week, Albertsons. This week Albertsons has lots of good deals going on. Lots of buy 1 get 2 free deals on meat and split chicken breast family packs buy 1 get 1 free. I did take advantage of this and bought the Tilapia that was on the buy 1 get 2 free deal. I ended up paying on $8.99 for 3 packages of fish. I decided to get my split chicken breast at Albertsons too. I paid $10.63 for 2 huge packages of split chicken breast. But my best finds were with the Campbell soup deals going on at Albertsons.

Albertsons has the regular Spaghettios 2 for a $1. Two weeks ago in the Sunday paper, we received 40 cents off of any 2 Spaghettios coupon. Since I had 3 of those coupons, I decided to stock pile of Spaghettios. Albertsons doubled all three of my coupons to make the grand total 10 cents per can! That is almost free! The Campbell hand soups were also on sale for $1 a piece. In the same Sunday paper, we received $1 off of 2 Campbell hand soup coupons. Since Rob needs easy lunches to take to school, I thought why not give it a try. I had 3 coupons, and Albertsons did take all 3 of my coupons to make the grand total 50 cents a piece. There were other good finds that I bought at Albertsons, but those were the best! The reason why I love Albertsons today is that in the end, I spent $46.99 and saved $66.45!

I did go to Krogers, but I only went there because they still had Wonder bread for $1 and the items I need to make salsa for my book club tonight were on sale there. Nothing worth mentioning at all. So when it was all over, I spent $74.19 and got $164.34 worth of groceries! I saved $90.14! That is way over a 50% savings! I think this was a good week to save.
