Albertsons weekly deals: July 22-28

There is a full page of in-ad coupons in this week’s ad. Unfortunately, according to corporate, you can’t use an in-ad coupon in combination with a manufacturer’s coupon, so keep that in mind. Be really cautious with these in-ad coupons this week… they switch back and forth between “limit 2” and “must buy two to receive price” which is super confusing and if there’s an Albie’s representative reading this, that strategy has completely demotivated me from shopping there this week!

I never got around to posting it, but in last Sunday’s Gazette there was a full-page Albertsons ad with some coupons for $ off your total purchase. Use them if you’ve got them! Remember that the minimum purchase is after all store discounts and manufacturer’s coupons.

And finally, in that same Sunday ad, I thought it said they were doubling/tripling/quadrupling coupons, but now I can’t remember for sure how long it was supposed to last. Anyone still have the ad? Today’s circular didn’t mention it, but I could swear I saw it in the Sunday paper.   Edit: Beth said the specials that were in the Sunday paper were only good through yesterday.   Oh well!

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen:

• T-Bone Steak $5.77/lb
• Pork Spare Ribs BOGO FREE – These are regularly $2.99/lb, so two packages of equal value would be $1.50/lb. Good price, has been cheaper.
• Albertsons Gallon Milk $1.58
• Tony’s Original Pizza $1.99 (limit 6) – Use $1/2 from Smartsource.com to get for $1.49 each, a great price!
  
• Dietz and Watson Premium Ham and Cheese Sale $4.77/lb – No idea what the quality of this is, but if it’s a good brand this is a great price for deli meat.
• Dannon Yogurt 27 ¢ each with in-ad coupon (limit 8) – Great price, I’d stock up! (Yoplait will occasionally go lower.)
• Whole Rotisserie Chicken $4.77 with in-ad coupon (limit 1) – An OK price, most stores are selling them for around $5 regularly, so this is just a bit cheaper.
• Oscar Mayer Bologna or Cotto Salami 97 ¢ (must buy 2 and use in-ad coupon) – GOod price, have seen bologna for cheaper but not by much.
• Oscar Mayer Fun Pak Lunchables $1.47 (must buy 2 and use in-ad coupon) – OK price for this variety, should go on sale often as school starts.
