Official Southern California Groceries, Supermarket and Local Deals Thread: Albertsons, Ralphs, Stater Bros, Vons/Pavilions, Henry's, Sprouts & Local Deals

Quote from sdca : I can't seem to find the post about Hamburger Helper, but I tried it this morning at Albies and got the $2 CAT and $5 CAT. I bought 10 HH, used 2 $1/5 MQ from 8/7 GM, and 2 doublers. Paid $6, got back the 2 CATs for a $1 MM. Both CATs say thank you from general mills. The $5 CAT says on next shopping trip, the other one says Save $2 on any item on your next shopping order. Does this mean I have to purchase an item that costs at least $2 to use the CAT? Has anyone tried Chicken or Tuna Helper to see if they give the $2 CAT? TIA Just realized I saw this deal on a blog (by socalgal) instead of here. Her blog says the deal works for hamburger/tuna.

Tempting...but yikes. Not sure what to do with that much HH. Maybe....

I'm going to donate them, like almost everything else I "buy". ednred told me she tried the Chicken helper and it also worked for boths CATs at Albies.

Anyone know how I can get on this Albertson's mailing list? My Albertson's is like 3 miles away, but I never get any ads (or stupid doublers) for them. I've updated my address on my Albys card and everything...


It has greatly impeded my ability to hoard Dreyer's this week. Well not greatly...I was just a little slow on it...and it wasn't free.

Dreyers Ice Cream is on sale 2/$6 (retail 6.99), buy $12 worth get $4 cat.
They must be going off retail because I bought two & got the cat.

6 - $1/2 = $5
- $4 cat = $1/2
(free if you use a doubler)

PS: I couldn't find any Mocha Almond Fudge...is this just my Albys or has Dreyers lost their mind?

Good luck. I also live about 3 miles from 3 Albertsons in different directions. I never get an Albertsons ad. I've contacted their CS a number of times, I'm always promised to be added to the list but I never am. I've done this with Food 4 Less and other smaller market chains in Los Angeles not in my area and I do get specially mailed ads from them but never Albertsons.

do you get Albertsons ad in the mail with other ads? if not you can sign up here http://www.redplum.com/couponbook.aspx or contact them at 877-823-7119. Ralphs and Sprouts are the only grocery chains close to me all the others are 3+ miles away

For anyone that does have stupid doublers, the HH at Albies is still producing both CATs today.

For those that don't have stupid doublers a better deal would be to buy 10 HH for $1 each and use 3 of the .75/3 MQ from today's SS. After coupon cost $7.75, then get $7 back in CATs, a $5 CAT and a $2 CAT, so it would be .75 cents for 10 boxes of Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna helper.

There's also an 80cent/4 coupon on coupons.com. Use this with the two 75cent coupons on your purchase of 10.

This has pretty much been my only organized trip of the summer and I'm posting a screenshot of my list in case anyone finds it helpful. Basically, HH $2 cat is printing (off of 10 for sure, I didn't want to try 6) and I got a GM cereal CAT for $2/5 (first tran) and $1.50/4 (second tran). I felt bad for paying for that much for cereal, but I've been slacking on the milk deals and I love me some Cocoa Puffs so what can you do. & file name typo fail, I know.


On another note: Anyone else stop getting Fresh & Easy ads in their Sunday paper? I miss those x off y Qs they usually include.
ALSO: There was a demo for Fiber One 90 calorie bars (something like that) and the lady was giving out $1/1 Qs too so look out for that..mine was in the back at the cereal endcap near the meat section.

I found a great Budwiser $3 peelie that combines perfectly with the Bud beer/penny water deal at Albies. I bought the 20 pk of Bud light and a case of Crystal Geyser water. I was able to combine the $3 off any $3+ water peelie wyb Bud and the case of Crystal Geyser water for a penny Albies deal. The preferred card took off $2.99 and the peelie took off $3 since the water was exactly $3. For some reason I was only charged a nickel CRV for the case of water & $1 CRV for the beer. It was a great deal for me as I used an Albies gift card that I got free from a RX for the balance. I also found a bunch of other beer tearpads and rebates at Albies.

Albies had a big sheet of coupons that included coupons for $2 off Huggies, $1 off Visine, $2 off Garnier, $1.50 off 2 Pedialite products etc. They also had a booklet that said, "Pack to go back" with ten coupons for various items including $1 off 2 Ritz, $1 off one Kraft string cheese, Coke q's etc.If anyone wants the size details just lmk. Have a delightful night everyone!

if you sign up online to get emails from Fresh&Easy they usually include x off y qs you can print- last one was $10 of $50

Do you usually get the doublers in that mailed ad, or is it delivered some other way?

yes doublers are mailed along with Albertsons ad as well as other store circulars. If you call Red Plum you can specifically request Albertsons ads

Lots here on the Westside. I can't find any Black Raspberry or Dulce de Leche, tho. Bah.

In my Albies, they have TONS of the doublers pamplets in the store every time they go out in the mail. if you need them, please let me know (via PM) and I will send them out next time.
