20 bags of Shredded Cheese for Free

AKA:  "I'll suck it up and go to Albertsons this week"

So, everyone has their favorite supermarkets, and my favorite is definately NOT Albertsons.  First of all, their deals always count AFTER coupons, which usually makes it not a deal at all.  For instance, if you try to use the$4/40 coupon they sent to customers in the mail, it only works after coupons are added in.  I rarely spend more than $40 in a single transaction after coupons at any supermarket, so it bugs me that I can't use these.

Also, the checkers at my local Albertsons always look put out when you give them coupons, as if I am trying to take money out of their own pockets.  Whatever!

My disclaimer is that when Albertson's has a great deal, it is a FABULOUS one, so they keep me coming back for more.

However, they are having a cool deal where if you buy $10 worth of groceries, they give you a sticker that can help earn free cookware.  I am always up for free kitchen stuff (I am expecting a set of steak knives from Vons any day now from that 4th of July meat deal).  Also, the Krazy Coupon Lady posted two great deals that I couldn't pass up.

I love this site!!!

Transaction #1
Buy 5 Kraft Shredded Cheese $10

-Use $5 off 5 participating Kraft cheese or dairy products  Click Here

Total:  $5.00 OOP

+ $5 Catalina from Kraft

Total:  Free

I actually did this transaction 4 times (on two different days), since I printed the Q's from more than one computer
So...I have 20 bags of free cheese in my freezer!

Transaction #2:  I love Crystal Light!!!

Bought
5 Crystal Light To Go Drinks:  2.50 each
Used (5) $1.00/1 Q Click Here

Total:  $7.50

+ 5.00 Catalina from Kraft

Total:  $2.50 (.50 each)

Transaction #3
Since I had $25 worth of Catalinas to spend, I did more shopping to get stuff that I needed that wasn't necessarily on sale (i.e. bananas, bell pepper, rolls).  Here are some other things I got using coupons.

6 Dannon Yogurt
12 x .70=8.40- (2) $1.00 Q= .53 cents each
Click Here

1 String Cheese (like I didn't get enough cheese...I know)  3.39
Click Here

4 Oreos
4 x 3.00= 12.00 - 3.00 (buy 4 save $3 promo) = 9.00, or 2.25 each

Your total will vary depending on what else you buy.  If you earn your $5 Catalinas first, you can apply them toward your next grocery purchase!  Sometimes they allow you to use more than one in a single transaction...YMMV.
