Albertsons Deals This Week: April 29-May 5

Albertsons has some pretty good deals in every department this week – finally not just meat and produce!

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen:

• Pork Spare Ribs Buy 1 Get 2 Free with in-ad coupon – Works out to $1.33/lb *if* you get three packages all the same size.
• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts $1.87/lb – Not quite as good as it gets, but within 10-20 ¢/lb.
• Beef Shoulder or Chuck Roast BOGO Free – About $2.25/lb if you buy two packages of the same size. That’s a good price.
• Tilapia Fillets $2.99/lb – Great price!
• Various Cuts of Meat BOGO Free – Half-off is my target price for meat, so most of these are a decent deal. The catch is that you need to find two packages close to the same price, or you’re going to save less than 50%.
• Pork Picnic Roast 99 ¢/lb – Good price, they’ve been running this sale a lot lately.
• Moran’s Ground Beef $1.99/lb (85% lean) – A decent price if this is freshly ground beef (ie, not sold in a chub). I would buy some, but wait for a better price to stock up for more than what you’ll use over the next couple of weeks.
• Albertsons Butter $1 (8 oz) – An OK price if you need it; this sale comes around pretty regularly.
• Albertsons Sour Cream $1 (16 oz) – This sale comes around all the time.
• Birdseye Steamfresh Frozen Vegetables $1 – Use $1/2 to get two for 50 ¢ each. A good price, though they were cheaper a couple of weeks ago at King Soopers.
• Old Orchard Frozen Juice $1 – Use $1/4 printable to get four for 75 ¢ each, a great price.
• Tony’s Pizza 2/$3 with in-ad coupon – Great price!   These are $2 without coupon, still a good price.

Produce:

• Mangoes 3/$1 – Great price for mangoes!
• Cilantro 3/$1 – Good price.
• Limes or Garlic 3/$1 – Could be a good price, depending on the size. (Will still be better at Rancho Liborio.)
• Red, Granny Smith, or Fuji Apples $2.50 (3 lb)
• Russet Potatoes $2.99 (10 lb)

General Grocery and Household:

• Vitamin Water $1 – Use those $1 coupons and get it FREE! (Unless the coupon is expired – is it? I gave mine away.)
• Flipz $1 – Use 50 ¢/1 to get them for 50 ¢ each.
• Albertsons Hamburger or Hotdog Buns $1 – Another decent price that comes around regularly. If you want to freeze them, I’d wait for them to go cheaper.
• Calidad Tortilla Chips $1 (14 oz) – A good price; I’ve never had this brand so I can’t comment on the quality.
• Ortega Chiles $1 – Use 75 ¢/2 to get two for just over 60 ¢ each.
• Rosarita Refried Beans $1 – An OK price, I would wait for a coupon to get it cheaper if you don’t need them this week.
• Mission Medium Flour Tortillas $1 – Use $1/1 printable to get them FREE!
• Manwich $1 – I’d wait for a coupon to get this cheaper.
• Various Old El Paso Brand Items $1 – There may be a catalina deal to go with this. Some stores (Albertsons and Kroger/King Soopers) are running a buy 3 save $1 on your purchase of chicken or beef or buy 6 save $3 on your purchase of chicken or beef. If you try this and it works, please let us know in the comments. I don’t know if our stores are doing it or not, so proceed with caution!
• Dial Liquid Hand Soap $1 – Use 35 ¢/1 to get it for 65 ¢. This sale frequently happens at all grocery stores, and I would recommend using the 35 ¢ coupon at King Soopers or Safeway where they’ll double it.
• Treetop Juice Boxes $1 – Use $1/2 from newspaper or $1/2 printable to get for 50 ¢ each.
