I didn't get that awesome of a deal, but I did get what I think is a great deal! I spent $66.69 and saved a little over $200. Plus, I still have my $15 off next shopping trip coupon
This looks great! I wonder though would it be possible for us to find out what coupons or coupon combinations were used?
She didn't say, but I know she uses GrocerySmarts. I looked at the items she bought and all the coupons are listed under Albertsons.
I'm confused..did you group these in $30 transactions so you could get the $15 off your next shopping trip? If she did different transactions can you use your $15 on the very next transaction?
Ali, I'd say you got a great deal too. It's the same as I did (my picture and deals:)) just doubled.
I just used Grocery Smarts(except for the Cascade -- I had other coupons to make those free).
At the Layton Albertsons they will let you do up to $60 in each transaction. Then you get $30 in "albertsons cash" out of the catalina box when you are done. Then, yes, I used that $30 on my next transaction. I did 4 $60 transactions at one time. PHEW!
On my final transaction (the 5th one) I bought all of my items that weren't in the sale and still used my $30 "albertsons cash"
Word to the wise, I sorted my "increments of $30" before I got to the store and put my coupons in little baggies so I was ready at the checkout. It kindof stunk because I had to dig through my cart for certain items but it helped when it came time to hand the checker the coupons. I was fearful that they would be out of stock of a few items and then my "increments of $30" would be in vain. But the only thing they were out of was Vaseline Lotion (they said they won't get anymore in this week--FYI.)
Hope that helps. It was a logistical nightmare but a pocketbooks dream!:)
