Quote from yakwe : Cat ended yesterday, but you had to buy 15. Purchase Yoplait Yogurt Between 1/28-2/24 Buy 15, get $1.25 Catalina Buy 20, get $2.00 Catalina

So it should have printed yesterday... but I didn't buy enough! Thank you and reps!

Quote from SDCookie : I bought 6 yoplait yesterday at Albies and was expecting to a cat. Nothing printed. Was it over already? Does anyone know the end date on this one?

The Yoplait cat is still working today at SFW anyway. Quoting from today's SD SFW thread: (why it worked with 14 I don't know.)

Quote from shopNshop : got 14 yoplait cups and got $1.25 OYNO 1/2 hour ago (45 cents @ JFU Yoplait expiring today)

Evidently the P and G prices and cat for tomorrow's deal at Albies is already in the system and is working in combo with the round-up. If you have specific needs for the P and G items with low value coupons, it might be worth reviewing. Amber has everything laid out nicely on her site.

I found a $0.50/1 stride gum on coupons.com. I went to Albies to check the price and there were 2 kinds that were marked $1. Every shelf was completely empty. So someone knew about it. Did I miss that post?? I'm always the last to know Also, the Arm and Hammer was sold out. In case anyone else missed that deal they were $1.79 limit 2 and the coupon was $0.75/2 which would round up to $1, if you weren't too late like me bummed

Maybe it is only me who has issues every single time I try and use a BOGO coupon in combo with a cents off coupon at Albies. We have to go over this EVERY SINGLE TIME there is a deal. Today I again tried to use a BOGO and a $3/2 on the Pantene at Albies which they allowed for good customer service but was told by management that I was incorrectly using coupons. In case anyone needs a written policy to show them, you might want to print off my question and the response I received - I asked about this on the Albies FB page and was again told that it was okay.

Here is the response I received:


Albertsons The answer Stacie provided to you was checked and double-checked by our coupon experts for accuracy. You can combine one store coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item. In the case of BOGO manufacturer coupons, that coupon applies to the free item, leaving you free to use another manufacturer coupon on the item for which you are still paying.


In the example you provided, you can use the two BOGO coupons on 4 bottles of Pantene. This makes 2 of the bottles free, and the other 2 are eligible to have another manufacturer coupon applied to them. I'm glad that Jenn is working to clarify matters on her own, and that you had a great experience with her. I'll have our teams check in with the store on 196th to help make sure everyone understands our policy. Thank you for being patient with us, and I hope you continue to have a wonderful time shopping your neighborhood Albertsons! ~Steve

The deal is actually a wee bit better at RA starting on Sunday but I like the support I always (eventually) get at Albies when using BOGOs in combo with cents off coupons.

You're in luck if you can wait a week. At RA on 3/10, Arm and Hammer will be 2/$5 giving a $2 UP when you buy two. So $5 - $2 UP - $.75/2 q = $2.25 for two. (BTW, we need to make time for coffee!)

I went to FM today and bought the oreos grab and go packs. They are $2.77 this week. I had an e-coupon for $0.75/1 oreo grab and go and then another for $0.55 off oreos that was limit 5. I bought 2 boxes and the first one took off both ecoupons, the second took off $0.55. Then i was able to use my regular coupon for $1/1 which only works if they scan your card after your coupons. The price is supposed to end on Saturday.
And Yes Mommmie, we do need coffee sometime. Maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday around lunch time?

hope u guys are doing sbux deal. i'm almost to $1200 in free gc

Quote from shuriken :

At Albies today I was pulled over for a quick discussion about the resolution of this issue. The top coupon expert at Albies said that it is perfectly acceptable to use coupons this way and the 196th store has an official note about it published on their employee bulletin board. However, the top coupon expert said that she'd appreciate it if I were told not to advertise this coupon usage.

You still got any leftover $2/1 grapefruit juice IPQs, the sale has ended at Safeway but FM still has them for $2. I forgot to check the end date though.

I'm too, Mommie. Don't they want to sell things? If this is an acceptable way to use coupons, then I don't see the problem in you letting us know about it. I'm glad that you did.

The head coupon person said that with the new ownership of Albies, all of the coupon policies are under significant review and there will be considerable changes upcoming. Until that time, Albies' customers are allowed to stack coupons (which is what she claims is happening when both a BOGO coupon and a $ off coupon are applied) because the manufacturers are paying Albertsons for these coupons without complaint. She asked that this info about stacking not be advertised on blogs (but this isn't a blog so I have no problem sharing) because she herself believes it is giving contradictory info about coupon usage.

Can you point me to the post with this info? I have been crazy busy at work, and I'm sure, missing all kinds of deals! Appreciate any info.

Read shuri's site. The advertised deal = register any card at Starbucks to a new account, get $5 added to it.

What worked: Buying gift cards in denominations of $5 and registering them to get an additional $5 added onto each one. Buying more $5 gift cards at Starbucks (paying with the gift cards you already owned that were now each $10 in value.) Taking these home and registering these cards each to a new account so that these cards all had additional $5 added to them.) Returning to Starbucks and buying more $5 gift cards, paying with the gift cards you already own, etc., etc., etc.

OOP = only initial output to start the rolls

Some people online after accumulating small fortunes from Starbucks transferred balances of these gift cards to their gold card. Starbucks has now deleted these gold card balances and actually cancelled gold cards of customers who participated.

I don't think the ten dollar gift cards/$5 gift card balances have been touched if they were not transferred to a gold account.

The promo is still advertised. Starbucks has not been immediately adding $5 to each card but issued a statement yesterday saying that they would do so within 24 hours.

We're all kind of just waiting to see what happens next...
