Albertsons has some good deals going on this week - and after combining them with coupons, you can come out way ahead. Here's what we came home with today for a total of $19.45. According to Alberstons, we had savings of &89.91...but since there is no way I would have paid full price I don't think those savings are 100% accurate.
Now for the goods...If you purchase $30 in qualifying General Mills items (Pillsbury, FiberOne, Betty Crocker, etc) items this week, you get $15 towards your next purchase. We decided to spend the $30 towards qualifying items (before coupons), and then use the $15 towards our next transaction.
Not pictured - Dungeness Crab (about 2 lbs)
Here is our first transaction (item description: original price - coupons used = price paid)
1. 6 Progresso soups (various flavors): $2 each/$12 - $1.10 each/$6.60 = $0.90 each/$5.40
2. Fuze Vitamin Drink: $1.25 - $1.00 = $0.25
3. Green Giant veggie bag - 24 oz: $2.50 - $1.00 = $2.50
4. 2 Green Gian Boxed veggies - 7-10oz: $1.67 each/$3.33 - $0.50 each/$1.00 = $2.33

Total Out of Pocket (including tax) $16.85, and then we received the $15 towards our next purchase!
Two other deals Albertsons had this week were a coupon you could use to double a manufacturers coupon (allowable for 6 manufacturers coupons), and if you purchase 8 PastaRoni or RiceRoni products, you would receive $5 towards a meat/seafood department purchase. We took advantage of both of these deals in our second transaction.
