confirmed-cheap secret and tampax at albies! HOT
 

ok, I tested the waters last night, I bought 8 tampax pearls and 3.99 each=31.98, used 2.00 coupons, brought it down to 13.98 plus tax, I got the 15.00 cat for itunes and the 5.00 cat from buying 3 tampax:omg:

I also just bought 3 tampax at 3.99=11.97-6.00-5.97, got a 5.00 cat so .97 plus tax for 3 tampax pearls:omg:

then I zoomed down the deodorant aisle and picked up 3 secrets that were in the ad-2.49x 3=7.47-1.50 for the .50 off manf coupons=5.97-then got a 5.00 cat:woot:

with doublers sunday--the secret becomes a slight money maker 7.47-1.50-1.50=4.47=tax then a 5.00 cat......

**note the tampax is not the one in the ad.....but they were on sale and produced both cats, pantene worked but did not produce the cat, I was gonna buy them for the 15.00 cost and the 15.00 itunes card back---but it looks like its only the items listed, secret, tampax, always and maybe one more product I can't remember:woot:

Always
Olay
Secret
Tampax
Herbal Essences

Thank you very much for your quick reply.And the welcome. I had not seen that in any of the wikis so it helped me to not use more than 1 coupon and try to get more. I figure with the hot weather here in the Seattle area we don't want to heat up the house so it is sub sandwiches for us. Thanks again.

Hey, everybody, if your WAGS has fruit to sell, I'd encourage you to use these as fillers whenever possible. Let's support this as much as we can - I'd rather pick up fruit I need rather than caramels I don't! I'm finding that apples and bananas are priced at about the same price as the grocery stores - maybe even cheaper.The Mukilteo WAGS had the tuscan watermelon for $1.50 today.

I received a reply from Catalina Marketing to expect my cats in 6-8 weeks. Might want to email them a scan of your receipt.

yes. :nod:

6-8 weeks? they usually ship a lot sooner than that. :D

MAYBE!!!! I heard today they may PULL doubles from next weekend. it was planned up to a few days ago. So a few managers said today...if they show up, yes...if not...prolly not. so there is now, some uncertainty! :( :( :(

What’s anyone’s thoughts on Nabisco Honey Maid Grahams on the smore promo (instant $2) qualifying as part of the B10G$5?

No TVQ
 

I also heard that they were pulled and now not coming.

I was there today to do the free milk deal and use my double's and was told I could only have one set of TVQ and after today they will never have them again ,They will mail the ,I asked how will or can they mail them ? She said from the address on our card's , Now this is making it so hard to do doubles there or even want to shop there now ,Hope they like what they're doing cause to me it SUCK'S

Thanks for replying! I ended up going to FM before I saw your post. At first they said there was no transfers going on right now as the last one ended on the 25th but then after I walked away I heard over the loud speaker " will the transferred prescription customer please come to the pharmacy" (lol). So I guess they discovered that it started again on the 27th! Yay! I asked her if it was usually announced in the weekly ad or online but they didn't even know it had started again so I'm thinking that it ends one day and then starts again a day or 2 after that. i didn't see anything in the ad. i'm thinking that I will just take them there and if they say it ended, just wait a day or 2 and try again. It's nice that you don't need a coupon at FM. :bounce:

wtf! :mad:

i did nine nv transactions (four in each transaction) yesterday/today and all of mine printed as $2, $5, free milk. $6.38 total oop and ended up with $23 (1x$5, 9x$2) in cats and 9 free milks. glad these are in cat form so i have time to drink the ones from the yogurt deal before i grab more. :lol:

My manager said no? He did say some changes are coming in the next 2-3 weeks. Probably the rumor of no longer giving them out at stores?

Thank you and repped!

strange, other blogs are saying we are getting them???!!!! I am so confused, hehe

will double check today. but was told albies had a slick in sunday's paper, that looked like a doubler sheet, but no doubles.

So maybe mgrs have seen the ad and thought, but not read the ad.....
will double check later

F/M has the Smuckers top every moment booklets out again. (located near the ice cream on a stand alone display) Coupons are…

Great Deal! Hope I can find those booklets. Thanks for sharing.

First time I've heard of BxGxF MFG coupons auto scanning at Albertsons. Only seen this at Safeway and Target before.

Whenever I got one of those free milk cats from Albies, the casher always overrides and types in the price of the milk. But the last time I took the Albies milk cat to FM and it scanned for full value. :)

Thx and repped for your info.

Hey, anyone seen TMF Snapple forms in the stores this late or have spares they could send? Today's the last day to purchase for the rebate, BTW. I need six. Snapple are not accepting index cards this time around. I made my purchase a while back, but let it slip until now. Thanks a bunch!

I have 4. PM me your address.

Confirmed on Frugalliving NW which found info apparently from albies facebook page that doublers will only be found in papers and not given to the store....

Yep, it is on Albies FB. I am not surprised. After the EC show the store got hit harder then ever. I have mixed feelings about it. The shelves won't be cleared so fast so that's good but finding Sundays papers at the dollar store is going to be even harder now.

At least it will cut down on the favoritism and difference in treatment between stores and various employees.

My sister who is a pharmacist at FM told me she just received a memo that the prescription transfer promotion would continue until December. No coupon needed, just mention the promotion.

I agree!

Doublers don't come in our local paper because it's a Tuesday/Thursday only paper (yup, super small town). I hope that doesn't mean our store won't even get doublers anymore.:(

I have never seen the doublers in my Sunday paper either. I would have to go out & pay $2.50 for an Oregonian.

There is a lot of angry comments on Albertsons Facebook page!

:crylol:

Is Nature Valley deal still good today with the free milk? DH is headed to the store without me :eek:

I am also wondering when this ends :)

I think the milk cat is over now. But the $5 and $2 is still printing. I'm going to wait until Sunday and see if we get doubles to use my coupons.

There is a 50c printable for the Thins and a 75c/2 on the granola bars at coupons.com and a 60c for the Thins and a 85c/2 on the granola bars at bettycrocker.com. Also on couponnetwork (I think thats the site - the catalina promo one) has printables as well.

Is the $2 only on the thins?

No, the regular kind works too.

Awesome..thank you! Now hopefully he can do the deal without supervision;)

Could someone please tell me where I can find the Seattle's Best single can latte to spend these free coupons on? The closest I have found are 4-packs at Target, but I have not been able to find the singles anywhere. Maybe I'm checking right stores but wrong parts of the store?

I found mine at Safeway by the Rockstar/Starbucks singles, on the top shelf. They were 1.25 last week or the week before and now are 1.69. I found $1/1 coupons at TOP awhile ago and hoping they'll go to $1 or $1.25 again before the year is up.

Got some cheap Gatorade at Albies. They are .50c after mix and match 10. Used $1/3 Gatorade peelies found at Safeway last week so they ended up costing .17c a piece. Also, Kraft mayo is 1.99, recent inserts had .75c coupons, making them $1.24. Sargento cheese slices are $3, .75c coupon on coupons.com makes them $2.25. Not awesome, but okay if you need it.

Stopped by TOP and picked up the philly cream cheese for $1 each (up to 4) with the flyer coupon. Noticed the ad for the 8 pack of nestle drumsticks for 2.49 after buying 4, BUT of course, it was an ad mistake!!!

I have also seen them at Albies, on the shelf with starbucks & sb 4 packs. They were on the bottom shelf @ my closest store, behind a structural pillar...kind of hidden.

If anyone has anymore free singles mq's they don't want, I would be happy to trade for them ;)

I found the single Seattle best in Albies in the deli dept where they had cold drinks.

I found mine at Rite Aid and Fred Meyer, HTH!

BTW, Welcome back!! How was your trip??

I got mine at QFC. They were in the cold drink area but the ones in the 4 packs also scan if purchased separately. The employee stocking the shelves told me it was ok to take them from the 4 packs.
Also I looked through the Advanced edition of the Sunday paper today and no doublers. :(

It could probably get the cashiers in trouble... but at my stores they just open a 4 pack and scan them as single cans. I don't drink coffee so it wasn't for me but I saw it done.

I found them at Safeway on 19th Ave in S. Everett. I went to Safeway in Lynnwood, however, and they only had 4-pks. When they were on sale at Safeway a few weeks ago, I heard the coupon was taking off $1.69 at the SCO. They were not on sale when I bought them though and the attendant at the SCO had to key in the dollar amount so I didn't get any overage. Oh well, still got free coffee!

LOL, the big easy has its own jet lag! I hope you enjoyed all the crazy delish creole foods! Welcome back to bland WA!

I saw a gal clear them off the fridge shelf at Albies in Olympia... I would just wait a while until back in stock... I haven't seen any more either.

I've got about 6 (I think) if anyone wants to trade... not sure what I want tho! Free qs?

I am back from Germany as well but still dont feel the coupon fever again. Just read that Albertsons will take away the doublers from the customer service desk at the stores and it did not make me happy. Did not do any shopping yet since I came back on thursday night. I hope I did not miss too many good deals. Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone...

hope your trip went well and the whole famn damily is well :)

Yes thank you, it all went pretty well. I just had some weight issues the way back. I think I brought home half a grocery store...LOL:drool:

LOL, I bet! mmmm some good dutch waffle syrup cookies...man I should have thought to ask you to bring some back, Y!! What was I thinking!?

I know the feeling tho, my SO is in Ireland right now for a funeral, I anticipate an extra suitcase coming home. :omg:

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Happy 4th of July!

which also means... Happy 70% off clearance shoes/apparel at FM. Oh, happy day!

I have LaVictoria qs of $2/1 that will expire Friday. Does anyone have advice about where to use them?

no idea. but i say let them expire and rest up!! You just had surgery lady! :hug:

FM has them on sale

I used mine at Walmart. The enchilada sauce is $1.88. Salsa is around $2, just a little over, but don't remember the price, maybe $2.09? Coupon goes through just fine, they just have to confirm that it's a valid amount. HTH!:)

WM I heard they are free ac.. whoops just saw the above post! But yeah, meandressedup is right, get some rest! Send hubby out for them! ;)

Don't worry...I couldn't shop yet if I wanted to...but my dh will care about salsa enough to go pick that up for his own use.

good. we're just worried about you!!

:wave: to one and all!

Haven't had much to contribute lately but have a few notes to share from my Freddy's trip this a.m.

• Cottonelle bath tissue is $5.99 this week -- a buy price for me with .50¢ IPQs and a FM reward for $2 off paper goods soon to expire -- so naturally I got the following notification for an upcoming CAT offer (Wikified™) :lol::
Tempted to return them but I think we'll run out of TP before Friday. :look:

• In addition to the 25¢ Crayolas (limit 4) and 100-page composition books (limit 4), 70-sheet spiral notebooks (limit 15) and filler paper (limit ??) are Price Blaster priced at .15¢ and .75¢ each, respectively. Unfortunately the 10% off Home items in-ad Q is not combineable with these deals (though my mum was delighted to discover that the 10% over 55 discount (good today only) does count. :lol:)

• The Sunday ad Q for 10% off printer ink states: "excludes HP and clearance" but the goldenrod store Qs hanging next to the HP ink does not have this exclusion. I had my mum buy this on her on order making sure she had the checker take the senior discount off before scanning any Qs -- worked like a charm! We got 10% off the cartridge (and all other non-food items) before the 10% off ink and then a $2 HP MQ. My FM points balance is now in quadruple digits for the first time ever. :drool:

No $10/$50 in today's FoodDay or This Week. I must have missed it last week. :(

...a little miscommunication between me and the DD...

While I sleep off another round of painkillers, would you mind hunting down a couple free P and Gs for me and then pick up a few Crest at Rite Aid for me?

I wake up to this phone call: Mom, I didn't understand how many Proctor and Gambles you wanted. Can I stop now? I have 165!

OMG! Too funny. Hope you feel better soon.

This next week's ad looks sad, hopefully doublers will make it better. :)

wow, your daughter is awesome!! I tell my mom to grab them from the community mail area once ppl have discarded, and she "forgets" everytime! Feel free to send some of those my way!! :D

"yes, you can stop now"

That's too funny. Your daughter is a gem :) . Hope you feel better soon.

um you calling a members child a name???? lol darn typo!lol

I saw these a few days ago too, except a nice person REMOVED ALL THE COUPONS from each and every book! This is at the South Hill FM.

:mad::vomit:

Quick help question all...

i have $27.97 in Up+s that I have to either use or roll this week. Only get one shot to shop and most likely cant hit multiple stores this weekend. what should I get??

helllllp :)

1. Buy the 1 liter Crest MW, it is 4.99 with 4.50 SCR and $2 q from 6/5 PG, = 1.51 MM

2. The Tide Stain Release is $6 and you get $10 up wyb $30, $3 qs in 6/5 PG, split up your tranX and buy 5, using a survey Q if you got it. Total is $30- 15MQs- $10 up, = $5 for 5 - 18 ct bags. better if you have a surveyQ.

3. The colgate 360 toothbrush is 2.99 with 2 up limit 4. There is a $1 360 MQ in a green&blue pharmacy book that I found at FM last month. makes them free. there is also a .40 q from a recent insert..

4. Crest tp is free after up with the PG 6/5 mq. Limit 2

5. Proglide razors are 9.97 with 5 up, $4 mq in the 6/5 PG. makes them .97 limit 2.


Easy! :yummy:

i called my FM to ask if they still give $25 for transferred prescriptions and she said no. :( I checked the website and didn't see anything about it :(

I saw that they are doing it this week at QFC.

I have been out of the loop the past couple weeks with couponing but now it seems like the grocery store deals are really slow. Is there any hot deals I should know about? I can't keep spending money on groceries lol.

I asked at QFC last week and the pharmacist gave me a Q for $25 free groceries with a transferred prescription, expires 12/31/11 I think. It does have a few exclusions.

I've only been in WA for 2 weeks, so I have no idea if this is an ongoing thing or not.

Whoop! I am sorry. Darn the typo. I'll fix my post.
I filled my prescription at Alby today and noticed a new promo they have that was posted on the wall: Earn $10 GC for every friend you refer to Alby pharmacy and your friend will receive a $25 GC too. And it's unlimited amt of $10 GC you would receive.
I asked for a referal form and they gave me a stack of name card of the store Mgr and on the back there is a stamp said:
"Receive a $25GC when a friend refers you to your local SavOn pharmacy.
I am a friend of .....................
* Your friend will get a $10 GC as well! "


So check your local SavOn pharmacy to see if they have the same promo before you go fill your prescriptions. I am not sure if the person who fills the precription need to be new to SavOn or not. (no fine print to read :lol:)

Stopped at Safeway today and found the Seattles Best singles are $1 until 7/19 or so!!!! Only found two to use my $1/1 coupons I had found at TOP a couple months back. Free if you have these.

Shake and Bake are 2.09 for a few weeks.
15 oz Gold/Soft magarine is $1.29. Had a catalina coupon for $1/1. Buy 2, get a coupon for .75c off 2.
$1/1 blinkie for Mariani fruit in front of display. Tropical Pineapple B1G1, so ended up being 1.79 for 2 bags . . . there were some other B1G1s, but mostly 2/$6.
Got some 6 oz Blue Diamond Nuts for 1.99 with Safeway cpn and used recent insert for .60c off 2. Noticed some of the 8 oz Emerald canisters were 2.50. Peelie found sometime for 50c makes them $2.

Just got back from Florida and wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy 4th! (and seriously... rain?? In July?!) :vomit:

Stupid question of the day... anyone try the P&G itunes gift card catalina shelf prices at Albertsons? Do you think it would work?

That's strange, I just got mine about a week ago and it had just started again. It usually goes for a month doesn't it?

That will be a lot of free Cascade!

Not dumb at all. Shelf prices should work per recent posts by SuperBob and others. :)

How so? :)

Fyi
 

I don't mean to make you feel bad or nothing but just FYI for all.

There are $1/2 x 6 oz cans of Blue Diamond ALMONDS TP out there.

At WalMart they have trial sized Cascade for 97c. You get 3 in the package. I found mine right next to the regular sized Cascade. The recent P & G had $1/1 in it. :cool:

I'm WAY WAY WAY too out of it. I just deleted somebody's note to me before answering and don't know who - somebody who wrote me about moving to Kirkland. Can you resend it to me in a PM? Thanks.

Merci beaucoup!! :heart:

it works. I bought 3 charmin and received the cat

Can you give us more details? How much does this come to per roll? Thanks!

Thank you! I'm going in after major charmin and bounty.

On the new registers, buy 3 of the charmin or bounty. Shelf price is 10.99, sale price is 5.99. Pay 17.97 oop and get a cat for a $15 itunes gift card. :yummy:

Okay, but what do I do with an itunes card I will never use? :confused:

I just read a story the Albertsons will be doing away with their self checkout. Here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43687...om/toolbar

Though now that I look at it it's for Albertson's LLC, which do not include Washington stores correct?

Sell it or give it as a gift to someone who would like it.

Thanks & reps. Shoulda thot of that. :bulb:

Do you know any teenagers? I'm gonna score big with the kids when I go buy TP that we need, and give them each $15 for itunes. Too bad it wasn't last week. I paid her $15 in itunes money to clean my car. I guess I'll have to think of something else for them to do to earn them. :lmao:

Then again, maybe not... My friend tried this in Lakewood, WA today and no cat printed.

I was about to say that too. Last time when ppl was talking about new register produced cat with shelf price, I tried and did not get the cat. So I guess it's YMMV.

I found a pretty good deal at Freddies, not free but def cheap for Dove Deodorants. They have yellow/orange Manu coupons for $2 off any Dove deo/anti persperant, and the cheapest ones I found were like the Classic Clean, Sensitive Skin and Fresh Scent which retail at $2.79 each. $0.79 each for dove isnt too bad...its not free with make $2 for every two like RA had earlier this year, but not a bad deal either. I believe the orange q's said good through the 16th, but I used the ones I had grabbed...
good luck everyone!!

Anyone know if we might be getting doublers at Albies this weekend?

Doublers
 

None in the paper I picked up today ...

Oh drat! That means the next set won't be out until next weekend when doublers only come in the Sunday paper. Our town is small so no Sunday papers, which means no doublers. That means last time around truly was the last time we'll see doublers. I am sad. I thought we'd get one more chance to enjoy them before they were gone forever.

Tried the shelf price trick at Cully Albies today and did not get the iTunes GC:

4 Head & Shoulders @ 5.99 (reg 7.99) = 23.96
- 2 BOGO @ 5.99
- $5 Dreyers cat
= 6.98

Still a good deal for the big bottles of poo. :)

fyi, Cottonelle cat confirmed working at FM and Wags.

Yeah, our WM has TONS of displays hanging on the end caps.

I bought 3 Charmin today (shelfprice $10.49) and did NOT receive the $15 i-Tunes giftcard. This was in Olympia/Lacey and we do have the new registers for a while now.
Has anyone else still luck with this? I was so hoping for that giftcard for my son and nothing. I even waited around a little incase the cat just prints insanly slow. Machine was working cause the couple infront of me got cats printed out.
Oh and I did try on the SCO but that should not have anything to do with it should it?

The Dove is 2.58 at Walmart and there is also a Degree coupon for 2.00 off at Freddies which are 2.62 at Walmart used both with no problem today.

OT... did somebody try to PM me when I first got on it said I had a messege... but some how I've deleted my PM's before checking. If so sorry could you send again.

Never mind figured it out............I'm just not awake....... spent the weekend camping with a group of pre-teen and teens..

I'm wondering if there is a difference between those that have had the new registers for a while- and those of us who got it recently. Because around me, no luck.

who shops at safeway anymore? anyone?

Here is another reason not to. Starting next week, (GOOD rumor has it), Safeway will only be doubling ONE like coupon per transaction.


Remember to visit your favorite safeway facebook page and give them "credit" for this new awesome rule.

I was just there and the cashier showed me the new doubler...It also states something like one per household per week and I'm not sure if it said this before but ip's cannot be doubled.

Pretty much everything else aside, Safeway is still pretty good for me on getting overages on free coupons for items on sale, very high rate compared to other stores.

Can't believe I just got a Snapple rebate...I had given up on getting a second one. I think it's from the rebate period ending last Feb/Mar.

I just got my three household Snapple rebates last week from that same time period too.

You know I've got say I think the credit is better given to TLC than Safeway, that show changed the marketing equation for both major grocery stores and major manufacturers. It only ever worked because a small number of people double/triple/quadruple dipped. Now that there is such a large influx of people doing it, the profit equation has changed for these companies. And I personally think it will never go back, at least not as good as it was 1+ years ago.

Oh well, I just try to put it in a Romans 8 context; All things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose. The Lord will use this to bless me I am certain.

Lord bless,
Mark

Thank you TLC And I heard the rumor was we could you just 4 doubles per card per week, I think that is worse ,but all of us could get more card's like with other people's number's on them I guess ughhhhhhhhhhhhh I hate all this drama about shopping with coupon's so not cool

doubl'r says four different products
also says cannot be used withany other safeways savings, coupon, discount, or offer.....


BYE safeway!

Just when I thought the SW thread couldn't get any slower! :lmao:

free salad at vocalpoint right now,,,http://www.vocalpoint.com/index.html

QFC is doing one of their mega events save $5 WYB10.

Also there's a Q in the 7/17 SS for $2 off any Tide or Gain powder detergent (no restrictions), pretty nice.

I am told Yes on the 17th

Albies doublers are confirmed a go in the Oregonian PDX area this weekend.

At the Albies in Lynnwood today we found some cool stuff one clearance; Butterfinger snackerz packs for .25 (actually bought out the case of 22), lots of gum, some Skittles, Dark Brown Sugar for .69 on 1lb packs. Girlfriend found 12pk hair scruncies(sp?) for .69 and bought 3!

Don't forget that FM points quarter ends soon...the 23rd I think.

So the new Safeway doubler coupon has removed the Internet coupon restriction, so that's a plus. The Facebook reps have said they're going to get a hold of managers to explain "4 different products" is suppose to mean "4 products."

I guess I can see how explaining the restriction would be somewhat difficult in a clear, concise manner on the coupon...basically the whole 1 coupon per item, therefore 1 double per 1 coupon per 1 item up to 4 times.

So who wants to be the first one to get a headache when trying to buy 4 boxes of the same cereal with 4 Internet coupons and trying to double them all? My guess is the coupon nazis will double deny you.

Mine says downloads from websites or reproductions will not be accepted. Isn't that Internet coupons or am I way off on that?

I think that's the fine print for the doubler coupon itself. So you can't use a self made copy of the doubler coupon from the ad...or print the online ad and use the doubler coupon from that.

At least you guys get SW doubles at all. We get nothing.

Has anyone seen the cereal deal at albertsons this week?

Buy 4 general mills cereals for $10, and get both free milk (worth $4.50 off at the register) and a 2 dollar coupon!

There is a coupon for $1.50 off 2 GM cereals, so if you printed the 2 you're allowed, the deal goes like this:

$10 + $3.50 for milk - $4.50 - $3 = $6.00 for 4 boxes of cereal, a gallon of milk, and a $2 coupon.

Seems sweet to me, honey nut cheerios for us all!

i know i haven't been around in forever (i seem to have picked up an extra kid during the days...3 was fine but 4 really cuts into my couponing) but i have a quick question...

the free 4 pack frappucino q? what stores actually take free item printables anymore??

I'm not sure, but I know I have used a free printable coupon at Albies in the past...

Has anyone done the Classico deal at QFC yet? Is the cat printing $1 for every 4 or is it $1 for 4 or more?

I'll try it tonight if no one knows and report back.

What she said.

My mom started shopping Safeway when I was in junior high, and I've shopped them since I've been on my own. I've seen many iterations of doublers (and Super Doublers and Super Triplers) over the decades. Never have I seen such restrictive, anti-competitive, petty@$$, consumer unfriendly language as I've just seen on SW doublers today. That's pretty much the nail for me. At least it'll be an easy divorce: Trader Joe's and Frieddy's have gotten the bulk of grocery budget the past few months and frankly I'm happier with consistently better prices and predictable checkout experience than I've been getting lately with SW.

:lol: And it's not just here: HCW, AFC and WUC are dried up as well.

Wunderbar! TY

Well.....I MIGHT have a tryst with a 10/50 once a month ;-)

Safeway
 

Well, I try NOT to shop at Safeway.
Every so often I give in (it is so close to my house!) After today I am reminded again, why I hate shopping there. So I brought my reusable cloth bag with me. Tell the cashier I do not need a plastic bag as I brought one as she is starting to ring things up. Put the cloth bag where they place the groceries. She finishes, I pay and then she pushes my groceries aside a bit and does not place my groceries into the cloth bag. Starts on the next person as I am still standing there in the check out aisle, bagging my own groceries. She sees this but makes no effort. Okayyyyyy! And no, customers do not bag their own, as a rule. No big deal to bag my own, but really? Plus I was in the way of the next person trying to pay and get her groceries. Customer service is NOT a strong point at this Safeway! The stories go on and on and on.......

But to keep on deal topic. Safeway has Fresh Express salad bags, assorted styles on sale for $1. Can't remember where I got them from but I have internet printed $1 coupons.

DH is okay with that? :lol:

I find the 'one per household per week' stuff on the doulber pretty stupid ... unless they're tying doublers to cards. Word?

ETA: :lmao: SW is really on a roll: they're latest FB announcement is unfortunately titled "Safeway Fast and Furious Festival'. The comments are already heating up:

Idiots. :lol:

MQs found today at Freddys:

$1 off any 2 Bic stationary products, exp. 9/30/11

.40¢ off select Paper Mate, Expo, Sharpie, UniBall and Liquid Paper items, exp. 9/30/11 << valid only at Fred Meyer

.50¢ off select Avery products, exp. 10/31/11 << valid only at Fred Meyer

FREE Kraft Mac & Cheese dinner cup (up to $1.29) w/$5 purchase of Crayola products, exp. 12/31/11

I did see this deal, and tried it out. I was buying milk anyway. The free milk is a catalina that prints at checkout with the additional $2 catalina. I also received another catalina coupon of $2 off of 5 GM cereals. And I don't know about anyone else, but my Albies is not giving the full amount of the milk coupon if the milk doesn't cost that much. I think the regular milk price is $2.69 and that's what they've been deducting.

$12.50 + $2.69 milk - $2.69 - $2 - $2 - (any cereal coupons you might have, I don't)= $8.50 for 5 cereals and a milk. Still not bad and would be even better if you had cereal coupons.

Albertsons Stockman & Dakota Q
 

FYI

$2 off Stockman & Dakota premium angus beef package, 1 lb or more(this is Albertsons store Q that was found on one of the booklet) expire Today 7/15/11.

I believe the booklet came with $2 off 1 or 2lb Arctic Shores shrimp and this too expire Today.

And I think it was $2 off for Hormal Party Tray as well. It might be another Q in the book but I am not sure. Since I only kept the Beef and Shrimp Q.

Anyway, all have 7/15/11 date.

PS. The Q say 1 coupon per transaction.

HTH

Did you (or anyone else) try this?

I agree with you, Mark. Couponing will never be the same as it was a year ago because stores have to make a profit.

I continue to disagree with giving the credit to TLC, however. Publicity for couponing started way before that - TLC just picked up on the growing popularity of couponing stirred up by mommy bloggers who have brought hundreds of thousands of people on board, teaching them to coupon and providing easy match-ups to deals. It was and continues to be a neat niche for them - mommy bloggers earned money, new couponers were and are rightly ecstatic with the savings. However, grocery stores have to make a profit and this whole thing cuts into those profits dramatically; when hundreds of thousands of consumers realize that stockpiling makes more sense than random grocery shopping, the stores have to dramatically tighten coupon policies in order to bring those profits up again.

50% off shoes at fred meyer with emailed coupon.

the first time I had a milk coupon, the kid took the whole $4.50 off the total, but this time they only gave me the price of the milk off... but still not bad at all.

$10 (cereal) + $3 (milk) - $3 coupons - $3 (milk coupon) - $2 (coupon) = $5 final price for 4 boxes of cereal and milk. woot!

I did the Classico tonight at QFC. The $1 cat is printing for every 4 you buy, multiples per transaction.

So, here's the rundown.

Classico Pasta Sauce is $1.49 each wyb 10 participating products.
Receive a $1 cat for every 4 jars.
There are $1/2 mqs in the 5/15 SS, or the $1/1 peelies are still valid.

Buy 20 at $1.49= 29.80
Use 20 $1/1 peelies= $9.80
Pay $9.80 oop and get 5 $1 cats back. .24 each

There are tons of things on the Save $5 wyb 10 product list, so just make sure to buy these items in groups of 10. Most notable is the Whisk for .99 after $2 mq, Pringles for .67 each after $1/3 mq. Both coupons were in the 6/26 RP, I believe.

Crap! I was just thinking about those q's a few days ago, but never looked at them for exp. dates. Thanks for the HU.
BTW- where have you been? Seems like forever since you posted in here.

amen!

Does anyone know if WM takes Target Qs?

just talked to some peeps at albies, and the stores have to account for every double now. so what you bring, is what you use. they cant give it back to you, or let you use it again! :(

No change for me, it's always been this way. :cool:

My store cracked down a while ago. It's been this way for the last 3-4 times.:cool: Now to see if we even get doublers at all this time since we don't get a Sunday paper in our small market.

Same here. My store didnt even like giving them out.

Replying to myself. I stopped into Albies tonight. My store says they have no doublers, so I guess our store won't be getting anymore ever again. :( Very sad. On a brighter note, I found Honey Nut Cheerios marked down to $1 because the box was smashed a little--that made for a great deal with coupons and buy 4, get $2 coupon + free milk CAT. Just wish they had more smushed ones. LOL;)

Am I correct that we did not get the $1/1 q for UP2U gum in the 6/5 SS? I'm sorry. My brain does not work. (It's $1 this week at Safeway.)

There's also a printable on the Classico [classico.com] website.

I also got Whisker Lickin cat treats- they were .79 with the buy 10 sale and I found some with $1/2 peelies on them, bringing them to .29 each.

does anyone know of a place or a coupon avail for using at home depot?? I'm in the market for paint. LOTS of paint, need about 7 gallons..all different colors and this will cost me WELL over 200 bucks..


helpppp!

:( They wont take a coupon if it is for a specific amount off. They will PM though, but that is different. My favorite thread these days...

There are loads of 20% off Harbor Freight coupons out. Look on the back of the inserts...... or even inside some of them. Also if you can find the USPS Movers booklet (at a post office) they have a 10% off at Lowe's.... or at least they used to!

you can sign up online for their moving club thingy and they'll email you a % off coupon. I think it's something like 10% or 15%

through home depot directly?

Aren't they only allowing one per household per day now though?

They take competitor coupons and you can get a $5.00 off $25 for mcclendons. Also check to see if they have a rebate. I saw something about, but not sure what it was.

yes, the link was harder to find than i remember but here's where you sign up: http://www.homedepotmoving.com/Si...gistration

For the QFC mix and match, I've been enjoying the .75c rice a roni and pasta roni. Using the b3g1 peelie found a couple weeks ago at Safeway, my QFC gives me the whole $2. :look: Dollar for 4 boxes is pretty good .. .

I did the Honey Nut Cheerios deal today. They are 4 for $10, get a $2 OYNO and a free gallon of milk cat.

Well I got 2 $2 cats! One was the one that says "theres no limit to your savings". I think this is the one advertised in the ad. Then the other one was compliments of General Mills. And I also got the free milk cat which is good up to $4.50.

I had $1/1 peelies but there are $1/2 printables that I had as well. No doubles here but it still worked out to less than I would have paid for the milk alone.

I haven't been to Albies. Is there still negative tax?

Was the second one for $2 off when you buy 5 cereal? I received that too, and used it already, and received another one. So it does roll. Anyway, just curious.

No, but I did get that one too. Both $2 were OYNO cats.

LOL. This was not my experience today.

Yes.
I got two $2 OYNOs as well.

I got the 2 $2 OYNO too. The cashier let me have my doublers back and commented that they didn't get any for in the store.

Oh man, I wish I had Honey Nut q's, I love that stuff!!! So it's not just 1 per household per day?

It shouldn't be limited per household at all. There is no such rule in the fine print of the doublers and there is no such rule under their coupon/TTV policy either. Since we have to supply ourselves from now on, they shouldn't be able to limit us. Afterall, we 'pay' for them when we have to 'buy' our newspapers, so therefore that wouldn't be right. The only limitation I have heard is 3 transactions back-to-back. Then you need to get out of line and start over.

As for General Mills Qs,

6/19 SS had $1/2 many varieties
7/10 SS had $1/2 many varieties
7/17 SS had $1/2 Cheerios any variety
and there are some printables .50/1 for honeynut as well.

Oooh, does this make sense! I wonder if we can get someone from corporate to agree in writing!

The More you shop catalina event 7/21-7/27 has obviously started early...
buy random items-across brands, in deemed quantities, get a $X OYNP CAt......

pretty sure thats where the bonus $2 HNC CAT is coming from

That explains it. Do you have any more specific info?

I bought the nature valley yesterday and got both $2 cats and the milk cat. Is the same thing working with the Fiber one again too?

Oh, I just saw on couponconnections that the fiber one is working :)

Someone on CNW's blog said yes.

Are there non-cereal type items that are included in this More-you-shop promo that we might have qs for?

Heads up (haven't been to Albies just WM). Lots of Wisk $.97 bottles @ the Lacey store (near vitamins) and I was able to use all my $2 hangtags on them... :) Also Noxzema bikini razors are $2.97 - use $3 q.

Noticed Reeser's 3# potato salad @ Winco for $3.49 - $1 q would make a good deal.

Ok, that explains where my 1 cat came from today. Bought 1 18 double roll pack of quilted northern and was really suprised.

I have had next weeks ad since last week and yes "the more you buy the more you save" event starts wednesday it's 2 full pages of items

I have the ad too and everything is printing early. The Dannon should be a MM with doubles when you buy two use $1/1, then receive $1.00 catalina :woot:

albies extra cat?
 

friend today bought 4 H.N. Cheerios, and 2 snackwells cereal bars ( in one transaction) and she got extra cats. She got the expected 2 $2.00 and free milk cats, the expected $1.00 cat for the snackwells and then got a $2.00 and $3.00 cat, ( we were using $1.00/1 peelies for the snackwells). Later, I bought the 2 snackwells cereal bars and 2 Ortega green chilis, paid $1.92 and got a $1.00 and a $3.00 cat. $3.00 cat from Nabisco says; buy snackwell cereal bars btwn 7/11 - 8/7, buy 1 get $1.00, buy 2 or more get $3.00. Did not do deal with cereal so not sure where that other $2.00 cat came from, and she has already rolled them into other deals so can't give more info than that. She did not notice if the extra $2.oo cat was a store cat or mfg cat. Anyone have any idea on the extra $2.00 cat?

Are there any q's for this? I looked at HCW and didn't see any.

I have some blinkies (Fred Meyers maybe?) for $.50/1 Ultra Palmolive Soft Touch 25oz or larger

Yeah - I just picked some of these blinkies up at QFC this morning.

I didn't read any posts on what the deal is with negative tax; however, when I bought 2 Multi Grain Cheerios on Sunday, I noticed on the receipt -$.19 tax. All I bought was the 4 cereal, no taxable items.

Deal of the day at Freddies...not great but hey with 8 Kidlets we go through school supplies... well like we go through ramen! oh and I am a school supply snob, we Homeschool and so much time can be wasted sharpening a cheap pencil....drives me batty, only crayola washable and ticonderogo/mirado at my house.

but no beeps thinking cause of the way they discounted, at the end, if you ran these you could get four macs, total pre discount is $20 , then scan your card.
Or fluff your order with other stuff ;)

Just in case if someone still shopping with TVQ.

I did bought 2 Crest TP that was marked $3/2.( I only saw one kind at the store 0 37000 32024 1) and bought with $0.75/1 any 4oz or more Q from PG and TVQ and got back $1 cat. And this TP may comes with $10 worth of coupons(that what it say on the box) and 4 Q's are printed inside the box. And I thought one Q might be interesting if there is some "small or trial sized" 3D White Whitestrips Professional effects out there. Since the Q is good for $7 on "any size" forementioned product. And good till 1/31/2013. Or maybe I can find the clearance before the Q expire?

Since I had 1 more spot I bought 1 Chips Ahoy Red bagged "Gooey" kind since I had $1/1 TP.
And after all 3 items rung up and TVQ and I paid a nickle and got back $1 cat.
If I had time, I probably still buying them but oh well.:rolleyes:

Milk cat Q
 

I was looking the Free Milk cat Q from AL. And thought if any of you used at other store. So far, AFAIK the Fred and Walmart accept other store MQ.

I think I read somewhere that Fred doesn't give overage but I know Walmart does.
And the cat end with "96" and 96 is $4.50.
So I wonder if the register auto for $4.50 at Walmart. :greedy: Hummm:scratchh:
If any of you try this , please let us know.

Also I found the Q printed inside the Emeral Breakfast on the go.
It is just like insert Q of $1.50/2 but it has ex date of 6/30/12;)
But like what I said, they are printed on the inside box and I think it pretty much ruin the box if you cut it out.

As SDers we can afford certainly to be brand snobs - be it Tide or Crayola or whatever. :)

Along with Crayola crayons, I believe the comp books and 70-page spiral notebooks are still on Price Blaster -- in fact the spirals are down to 10¢ apiece now (from 15¢ last week). As the interval before school starts wanes, we should be seeing better deals at OD, OM and Staples. IIRC we got pencil boxes, folders, rulers and maybe other things for 1¢ last year.

So on the Crest deal... a national cat is running were you buy $6 worth and get back $2. Anyone know if this "double dip" is going on at Albies with the more you buy event?

I used the free milk coupon at FM in conjunction with 2 Silk $1 coupons. It scanned $4.50 off auto. HTH

I said a while ago that I have used the milk cat at FM. I get the full $4.50 every time... so far ;)

yup. $1mm, less tax. :D
