Snapple .25 cents a bottle!!!!

Wow this is a great deal!!!  I just got the heads up that my Caldwell Albertsons ( stadium store)  Has 12 packs of snapple on sale for $3 a 12 pack.  The 4 packs are only $1, most of what they have left is Iced tea.  They are switching to plastic bottles, so all the glass  bottles have got to go.  This sale is at the Caldwell store only, and it is while supplies last!  I might just have to go grab me some snapple!  I love Albertsons!!!

I just got back from my “snapple run”  I was happy to see they had a large display.  I was able to get 12 four packs, for a total of  $12.72.   At normal price this would have cost $60.00, thanks Albertsons for the Thrifty deal!

Taco Bell refried beans .25 cents!!!

 At Albertsons there is a catalina on Taco bell products.  The beans were not marked as part of the catalina.  I got an email from one of my readers last night telling me that when you buy 4 cans of Taco bell refried beans, a $3 catalina prints out!  The beans are ringing up for $1 a can, so after the catalina they are only .25 cents a can.  

4 cans of beans pay $4 then after you pay get back a $3 catalina

The manager and I checked this deal at the Caldwell (stadium store) to make sure they are printing…and it worked.  The problem is they were not aware of this promo so they only had a few cans  in stock.  The manager has ordered the beans, their store will have a large shipment Friday night, ready for Saturday.  The catalina deal only goes till the 19th ( Sunday)  so long story short you only have a few days to get in on this great deal!  If you can’t find them in stock at your store, you might want to plan a trip to the Caldwell store on Saturday and stock up on beans.  

Thanks Kim and Cherice for this Thrifty Tip!

Town House Crackers BOGO

One of our readers who works at Albertsons sent us this Thrifty Find:

Staring today they have BOGO for Town House Crackers or cookies,$4.29

and the vendor put coupons on the box for $1.00 off of one

so that would be $2.29 for two.

We are always finding coupons that the vendors put on products.

Thank-you for such a great blog,

Clearance tip

 

Tip from one of my readers,

 I wanted to let you know about a great deal I found this week.   Several of my Boise Albertson’s have Muir Glen tomato sauce and tomato products  on clearance for .50, 1.00 and 1.50 and when you buy 5 Muir Glen products a $3.00 catalina prints out.  To make the deal even better here are two places to print 1.00 off of 1 Muir Glen products here and here.  So this can be a great money maker!  I hope you can find this deal at your Albertsons!   To view this weeks ad match ups click here

Late night ice cream RUN!

Before sale price or coupons this would have cost $60.17

I paid $12.60

Albertsons had a great sale last week.  One of the items was Breyers Ice Cream, it was a great price plus I had a coupon……the only problem was I could NOT find my coupons anywhere.  All weeks I looked for them I finally decided I must have dropped them in the store and gave up.  Last night I was cleaning up my desk and I grabbed the folder with the unilever rebate stuff in it.  I saw the ice cream coupons….they were on the back on the rebate form.  It was 9:15 and the store closed at 10:00, so I made a mad rush to get my ice cream before the sale was over.  I also picked up a free gallon of milk with my Kellogg’s milk catalina from last week.  I won’t list all the details being that the sale is now over, but I was one happy momma when I found my ice cream coupons!  It is the simple things in life that sometimes bring so much joy!

Thanks  Albertsons for another wonderful sale!

Don’t forget to say Thank You!

As many of you know I have two neighbors that like to share their Sunday coupons with me.  One of them is the cutest little old lady you will ever meet.  Her name is Norma she is 91 years old, she has more energy than me most days.  She has been a widow for over 40 years and lives on a limited budget.  Being that she gives me her coupons, I like to pass my good deals on to her.  I think the first time I put a bow around a bunch of food she thought I was a little nuts. Now  she always gets a big smile.   The kids love taking “Grandma Norma” Thrifty gifts.    This last week I was able to get such a good deal on cereal at Albertsons, we had to share!

Free Good Seasons

At Albertsons

I am asked every week how I know about catalina deals? Being that most the time they ARE NOT printed on my store ad.  Every now and then you will get a print out at the register that tells you one is going to start.  Other than that you just have to rely on word of mouth.  SO if you ever get a print out on an up coming catalina deal please make sure you pass it on!  Thanks to my friend Jenn who emailed me this Catalina info last night.

I got a print out that a promo starts 4/10 through 5/3 for the Good Seasons dressing mixes:
buy 2 get $.75 oyno ( on you next shopping trip) or a Catalina good to use next time
buy 3 get $1.50 oyno
buy  4 + get $2.50 oyno
They are on sale for $1.00 but are part of the $10 meat promo which makes them $.60, 4 x $.60=$2.40 but get $2.50 catalina back means they are paying you $.10 to buy the mixes.  As you probably know, these are pretty versatile and can be used for a lot more than just Salad dressing.
