Albertsons deals through January 12 – good prices on meat!

Here’s your Albertsons deals for this week.  I’m writing this post assuming that Albertsons is not doubling coupons, since there were mixed results when I asked last week.  I really wish Albies would get their act together and either consistently double coupons, whether advertised or unadvertised, or when they are doing them, if they’d advertise so we’d know for sure!

If you’re 55 or over, you will receive a 10% discount off your entire order if you shop today, January 6th.

One more note: their Big Book of Savings (available in-store) has a coupon for Caribou Coffee for $3.99.  If they will let you combine a manufacturer’s coupon with that, you could use the $2/1 printable from [coupons.com] to get it for $1.99!

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen

Albertsons Half Gallon Milk $1
Rating: 3.5-4 – pretty standard price these days

Assorted Pork Loin Chips, Bone-In (Family Pack) 98¢/lb
Rating: 3

Country Style Pork Ribs, Bone-In (Family Pack) 98¢/lb
Rating: 4 – been awhile since we had this sale!

Chicken Drumsticks, Thighs, Leg Quarters, or Whole Fryer (Jumbo Pack) 78¢/lb
Rating: 4 on everything but the Whole Fryers; I’d only give them a 3 at this price.

Boneless Tilapia, Catfish, Swai, or Pollock Fillets (Family Packs, Frozen) $2.88/lb
Rating: 4 – about the only place it sometimes goes cheaper is Rancho Liborio, but that’s often for bone-in

Produce

Russet Potatoes (15 lb) $1.88
Rating: 4 – the equivalent of paying $1.25 for a 10 lb bag, which we can pretty often get for $1 at Rancho Liborio, and a little less often at other stores.

Rating: 4

Red Bell Peppers $1 each

Free Tailgate Products Promotion: buy 4 or more participating Kraft or CocaCola products and get new free products every week.  This is really vague – I think you’ll get a catalina for one free product for every four you buy.  Unless they run some sort of a sale, buy four get one free is not going to be a good deal.

Select General Mills Items $1.88 each – buy 6 and get 30 bonus Boxtops for Education instantly.  Here are a few deals I see – there aren’t many!
