Albertsons: cheap crackers and cereal this week!

I’m liking the deals at Albies this week!

Buy 10 at $2 Each, Get A $10 Catalina

There are some awesome deals with this promotion! Buy 10 participating items and they’re $2 each, plus you’ll also receive a $10 catalina, which makes the “net cost after catalina” $1 each.   You can do this deal once per transaction.

I think almost all of these items are a great deal, just make sure you use your $10 catalina to either do this deal again or get other items that are on sale for a great price!

There are lots of other B1G1 free meat deals this week!  In general, 50% off is the “target” price for meat, but Albertsons usually runs better deals on “regular” sales versus the B1G1 deals (especially since you have to buy 2 packages of the same size to get them for “50% off”.)
