Free Kraft Products

The Albertsons Sale that starts this Wednesday has Kraft products on sale. Not only do you get a $5 off your next shopping order (catalina--the kind that prints out), you can also send in your receipt for a $20 mail in rebate!!! You can use manufacturers' coupons on top of the sale. By doing this you are actually getting paid to buy food. Pinching your Pennies has the Albie's ad (pdf) on their site. Click here to go to it.

Here are my shopping plans:
14 Kraft shredded or chunk cheeses (on sale 3/$5 or 1.67 each) = 23.38
4 boxes of Mac and Cheese (0.49 each) = 1.96
Total = 25.34
-$5 coupon (you will get one your first transaction to use on your second. Then you can keep rolling those to the next one). Does anyone have some left from last weeks sale? I think I have $20!!
-7 (I found coupons on ebay to get $1 off 2 kraft cheeses)
Total = 13.34

On a seperate transaction:
5 Capri Suns ($2 each) = 10
5 Chips Ahoy ($2.50 each) = 12.50
5 Mac and Cheese (0.49 each) = 2.45
=24.95 (I think it will work--if not I will add another Mac and Cheese)
-$5 coupon
=19.95
-10 ($2 off coupons from ebay--save $2 when you buy Capri Suns and Chips Ahoy)
Total = 9.95

These totals are before the $20 Rebates!!!

I plan on sending rebates to friends/family who aren't going to take advantage of the sale. I will put one in my husband's name, my name, daughter's name, etc. The shredded cheese freezes really well!

Note: Please be courteous to other shoppers. When doing multiple transactions take your stuff to the car and go back for round #2 or try self checkout--they are really good about helping you with coupons if you need it!

I printed off the Yoplait Yo + Yogurt coupons from Pinchig Your Pennies. Click here for the entire list of Albertstons deals plus the links for the coupons. Print each one twice. (You will have to scroll down to the very bottom).
Here's how it works:
Spend $10 on select items (the yogurt is 2.50 so you need 4). Then use 4 coupons (Two $1.50 off printables and two $1 off printables). $4 will come of automatically with the special.
4 x 2.50=10

The use the 3 "doubler" coupons that came in Sunday's paper (or ask for the sheet). And you can get another $3 off! You will have to add a couple of items worth at least $2 because they will not give you $$$ back and the doublers will make them owe you $$$. I added the 3 cheeses.
Grand total for 7 items = 0.65 plus tax!!!

*I did multiple transactions to get more cheese and cream cheese. Some cashiers will let you and some won't.* The cheese freezes great!

Albertsons killer deals this week until Tuesday

I hope that everyone who came to the coupon class left with some good info. I hope I didn't confuse you too much. Feel free to email me at kerstin mcfeely at yahoo dot com if you have any ?s.

This is the amazing diaper deal this week:
Spend $30 on various products (Tide, Pampers, Cheerios...see cover of Alberstons ad for more or see Pinching your Pennies, go to Screaming Deals by state, click on Utah and find the printable shopping list).

On the cover of the Albertsons ad is 2 coupons that let you double up to 6 coupons (up to $1) per transaction.

If you buy 3 jumbo packs of diapers 3x$10=$30
You will receive a $15 catalina off your next shopping purchase.
Plus, you will receive an additional $5 off baby items catalina if you spend $25 or more on baby products.
There are manufacturers coupons out there for $1 off. You can use one per item so 3x$1 plus you can use the Albertsons coupon to double your 3 $1 off coupons for $6 in savings instead of 3. You can use your catalina coupons to buy the same thing again. Your second transaction will be only $4 + tax (30-15-5-6=4). Plus you will have another $20 in catalinas.

The same thing can be done with tide or charmin. You can mix and match items. I wouldn't mix the diapers with anything else because if you only buy 2 you will miss the $5 catalina.
