Oh man, the deals are so hot with doublers at Albertsons this week! I did some extreme coupon shopping (spent a few hours in the store…but loved every minute of it…) I ended up with all this stuff for $32.00 out of pocket!
7 boxes of pasta
7 bottles of BBQ sauce
2 Sweet Baby Rays marinades (These were on sale for $1.50 – had $1.00 off home mailer coupons, so free!)
12 boxes Nature Valley Granola bars, they only had 1 box of thins for me…but this was still a great deal so I stocked up. PS. I didnt have any coupons for these with me but still got them.
20 boxes Life Cereal – I know the Quaker Life cereal wasnt the best stock up price, however I realized that these were the BIG boxes, not the small ones they usually have on sale during the big quaker sales. So for the same price I usually get them during the quaker sales I got the bigger boxes now.
2 Gallons of Milk – PLUS I still have 2 more FREE MILK coupon catalinas I can use next week.
Two bags of Albertsons cookies – had a cub scout pack meeting I was supposed to bring treats for…( I have like 30 boxes of brownie mix at home, but coupon shopped too long….)
A jar of Nalley pickles
A cajillion to-go cups…I don’t really want to count right now, but there are tons. (these are free with doubler plus you get a bonus ticket!)
12 Tic-Tacs
My grand total spent was $32.00 and I saved $251.00!
How did you do this week with your doublers?

So, how do you get so many TTV coupons?? Man! How nice would it be. Here in Yakima, we have a hard time getting them. They will only hand out 3 at a time, and want you to only do one set of three in a day. Where do you get all your doublers??? Of course, our paper doesn’t carry them, either!!! UGH!!!
Angie says
In Spokane our papers carry them, plus one of our stores had them sitting in a rack as you walked in. We also had a couple people.see our binder and just gave us their doublers because they weren’t going to use them (that was a first!). Also our stores let you do up to 3 transactions of 3 ttv each. I found some checkers are more lenient than others with the q’s.

I ended up spending $16.76 for $213.36 worth of stuff. I still have $7 in catalinas and 4 free milks. I ended up going to 5 different stores for the deals, making sure I wasn’t clearing shelves. I got lots of granola bars and bbq sauces, plus some other stuff too. Thanks for all your hard work on this site… it’s a lifesaver!!!
Karrie says
Love it Angie!
Elizabeth says
So when u make these transactions do use coupons 1st then store card? Please help I want to get the best saving I can. Thank you
Karrie says
I get things in sets of 3 usually – to use the doublers with. It doesnt really matter if I use store card or coupons first, they both come off the same way for me. 🙂
suzie says

Niice. I just did a couple of transactions of the Nature Valley Bars and Fiber One Brownies. I was quite lazy this week. 🙁 You did good though. Thanks so much for sharing. I love see pictures of other shops. ☺
Julie says
I didn’t do so well since every time I looked for something on my list all I found was a bare shelf. It got quite frustrating !
