Is anyone finding any deals at Albie's with the doublers from the "Big Book of Savings?"

I had hot pink 1.00/2 Lunchables peelies (exp. 9/30/11). They're 10 for $10 this week, so after doubler, each coupon gives me 2 free Lunchables. Also, I have 1.00/1 Keebler peelies that would pair nicely with the 1.88 wyb 6 sale, if I can find a nice cashier who will let me use 6 doublers in one transaction. My cashier today let me use 6 in one order on the Lunchables.

Anyone else coming up with anything? These doublers are burning a hole in my pocket!

Tic Tacs Albertsons 1.39 ea Free after doublers 75/1

They'll still free at Ralphs (1.00) so don't waste your doubles at Albertsons on them.

On 8/8, I purchased over $75 worth of groceries at Vons after VonsClub discounts but before coupons. I should have received a $10 coupon off my next order per the ad for the "4 Day Weekend Sale" event, 8/5 thru 8/8. I specifically purchased $75 worth of groceries after VonsClub discounts so that I would qualify for the $10 coupon. Unfortunately, the coupon did not print and the shift supervisor on duty refused to give me the $10.

We looked at the ad which said you get the $10 coupon "when you spend $75 or more in qualified purchased in a single transaction with your VonsClub Card or ValuePlus Card (calculated after deduction of card savings and all other discounts and savings and not including the excluded purchases below) ...."

The shift supervisor stated that coupons are considered part of the "all other discounts and savings" since paper coupons appear on the Vons receipt along with club card discounts in a section called "Your Savings."

I felt this was misleading since the offer terms mention "discounts and savings" but do not use the word "coupons." Further, coupons are more like a form of payment than "discounts and savings," since they are offered by the manufacturer, and transferred from the consumer to the store, rather than being offered by the store. The store will also receive payment from the manufacturer for the face value coupons, plus a handling fee.

What do you think?

call Vons customer service and ask them. Too many store employees do not think coupons are a form of payment.

It was my first "dumpster diving" experience. I went to the post office last week when the doublers got mailed out and dug through the garbage cans inside. There were at least 10 sitting right on top of the garbage. It was all paper (letters, grocery ads, etc.) so I didn't feel too gross about digging through the trash. I don't get any doublers in my mail but lucky for me, lots of people with PO boxes throw their doublers away.

I get Albertson's circular in my weekly mail, and yet, I have not received any doubler coupons. What gives??

Snip..

I think this was addressed on their Facebook page awhile back. If I remember correctly, the total has to be above $75 after Vons store coupons. The Manu q's can reduce the amount below $75 and the cat will print.

It worked for me that way for the super bowl Sunday promotion at Vons.

Why is there not more chatter about the doublers at Albie's? I got 105.15 worth of groceries for 6.88 out of pocket!

.12 overage on Keebler cookies & Frosted Flakes
.88 Pop Tarts & Nutri Grain Bars
1.00 Oscar Meyer deli meat
Free fruit

I know a lot of it can't be replicated because I used a lot of peelies, not insert or printable coupons. I just took my coupons around the store and matched up some items on my lunch hour. I'm sure there are more deals out there. Can't wait to see what's in the new ad! Click here for the full break down of what I did... [blogspot.com]
