Albertsons weekly deals: December 2-8

Albertsons continues doubling, tripling, and quadrupling coupons this week.   Basically, that means all your coupons below $1 will be multipled up to $1, and coupons at $1 or more will be redeemed at face value.

The ad states that there’s a limit of three of the same coupons (any above that will be redeemed at face value) and that coupons that state “do not double” will be redeemed at face value. Since that’s what their ad states, that’s what I’d expect, but typically coupons where the barcode begins with a 5 will double automatically unless they override it, so you may get a few bonus surprises depending on your cashier!

Also, don’t forget that today is the first Wednesday of the month so if you are 55 or older you get a 10% discount on your total purchase today only!  They’re also doing a military discount this Saturday – again, 10% off your total purchase, and this is usually taken after all your coupons.
