Albertsons deals: February 18-24

Here’s the highlights from Colorado Springs area Albertsons stores this week.   Nothing too exciting, just a few decent sale prices.   I’ve tried to indicate if something is a “stock up” price for me or just a “buy if needed” price.   Please comment if you have a tip or question!

• Bottom Round Roast $1.99/lb – I shoot for around $2/lb for roast.

• 10 lbs Russet Potatoes $1.99 (limit 2) – I’ll be buying the limit – wish potatoes lasted longer so I could stock up a little more.

• Large Eggs $1.50 (18 ct) – Probably the best price in town, unfortunately.   Someday I’ll stop complaining about egg prices, I promise.

• Red Baron Pizza 4/$10 ($2.50 each) – Use $1/2 coupons to get some frozen pizza for two bucks.   This is a stock-up price for me, even without a coupon.

• Dreyer’s Ice Cream 4/$10 ($2.50 each) – No coupons out, but a great price if you need ice cream (who doesn’t?).

• Crystal Geyser Bottled Water 4/$10 ($2.50 each) – A good price for bottled water, even if it if comes from an off-brand mountain spring.

In-Ad Coupons

• Fresh Express bagged salad 88 ¢

• Albertson’s bread 2/$1 – I’m guessing that since this is a coupon, as opposed to a “regular” sale, that you’ll actually have to buy two to get this price.

• White Rain Body Wash 2/$1 – Same as above, I would guess you must buy two.

• Extra Lean Ground Beef $1.99/lb – A great price for ground beef; it doesn’t get much cheaper unless it’s 4th of July or you’re buying 70% lean or something.

• Hormel Compleats $2.50 – Use $1/1 to get these for $1.50.   Seems kind of high for the amount of food these appear to be.

Unfortunately, they’re not doubling coupons this week so what could be some great freebies are only so-so deals.   In fact, I’m only seeing a couple of things that are even decent bargains:

•   Betty Crocker Warm Delights, Cookie Mixes, or Frosting $1.00 – Use 50 ¢/1 to get for 50 ¢ each.   With the exception of Warm Delights, these are all items I can count on getting for free at some point or another, so I wouldn’t buy them unless you need them.
