Doublers at WalMart

UPDATE: Make sure to tell the cashier before they start ringing the items up, they have to manually take up to $1 off then scan the manufacturer coupon. They were very nice about it too! This was at the WalMart on 12th in Nampa. You can call your store and ask for a manager to see if they will accept these since they are store coupons.

Have you seen this sign at WalMart?

I don't like to post possible deals until I have tried them myself and I finally made it over to WalMart this afternoon. I was able to use 18 doublers in 1 transaction. They took my Target coupons too (I had a $1 off Pampers from a mailer). Here's what I got:

5 Reynolds Foil 80 square feet $0.50 each (reg. $2.50 -$1 coupon plus $1 doubler)
4 Huggies Wipes $0.24 (regularly $2.24)
1 Pampers Wipes FREE (regularly $1.97)
4 Fruit Chillers FREE (regularly $1.84) -$1 off HERE
2 Lysol Wipes $0.52 (regularly $2.52)
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers $0.46 (regularly $1.96)
2 Ziploc Sandwich Bags $0.77 (regularly $2.77, this one might be off, the coupon was for $1 off 2, it looks like she took $1 off both)
4 Similac Advance $0.50 (regularly $5.50-used mailer coupons. Sign up to get them HERE) They are good until June 2011 so I can save them because I plan to breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months.

Total Before Coupons=$65.33

Total Paid=$9 for 24 items!

Albertsons Doublers

First off, how is it already February?! 2010 is starting off rather quickly (or is it just me?) Secondly, make sure you didn't miss the 1-page Albertsons ad that was in yesterday's newspaper. There are 3 double coupons (up to $1 in value) on the back! You can also get a copy at customer service in the store.

If you have any Quaker coupons left you can try:
5 Aunt Jemima syrups @ $1.40 each (when you buy in increments of 5)=$7
-2 $1 off any 2 Aunt Jemima syrups (that I got off ebay)
Use 2 doublers to get another $2 off
total=$3 for 5!

Granola Bars
5 @ $1 each=$5
-2 $1 off any 2 Quaker Granola Bars
Use 2 doublers to get another $2 off
total=$1 for 5 boxes!

or a combo:
4 syrups 4 @ $1.40
1 granola bars 1 @ $1
-2 $1 off any 2 Aunt Jemima syrups
Use 2 doublers to get another $2 off
total=$2.60 for all 5 items

K-Mart Double Coupons

Valid until the 17th
K-Mart will double any coupon up to and including $2. This is great for cleaning products, shampoo, etc.
You can only double 1 coupon for each item. In other words, you can only buy 1 of each item and receive double coupons.

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.

K-Mart double coupons this week

Until Saturday. The Nampa store is included so there shouldn't be any trouble this time (last time when I went they were trying to say I had to have a flyer). They will double coupons up to $2 in value. There is a limit of 75 items and only 1 of each item will be doubled.
