Albertsons this week: good prices on cheese, deli meat with in-ad coupons

There are lots of in-ad coupons at Albertsons this week.  It varies as to whether or not they will let you use manufacturer coupons with them.  I’m going to write this ad review as if they will accept both, but keep in mind that you may be rejected (depending on the cashier or manager).

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen

93% Lean Ground Beef $1.88/lb (must buy 5 lbs+)
Rating: 4

London Broil or Bottom Round Roast $1.99/lb
Rating: 4

Fresh Atlantic Salmon Portions $3.49/lb
Rating: 5 – BUT they frequently run this sale and then post a retraction in-store that states that it’s $3.49 each not per pound.  I’m about 95% sure there will be a retraction in the store – if not, let me know because we’ll be eating lots of salmon!

Healthy Choice All Natural Entrees $2
Use $5/5 printable
Net cost at checkout: $1 each
Rating: 4 – I have the feeling they may go cheaper elsewhere with that same coupon.

Jennie-O Blue Ribbon Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast $2.88/lb with in-ad coupon, limit 3 lbs
Rating: 4-5?

Albertsons Chunk Cheese (32 oz) $3.88 with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 4 – this works out to $1.94/lb

Hot or Lean Pockets $1.47 with in-ad coupon, limit 4
Use 50¢/4 insert coupon (if allowed)
Net cost at checkout: $1.35
Rating: 2-3

Minute Maid Premium Orange or Simply Orange Juice $1.99 with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 3

Produce

Iceberg Lettuce 88¢ each with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 3, cheaper at Rancho Liborio and the same price at Sunflower Market with no coupon required.

Eurofresh Tomatoes on the Vine (14 oz) $1/lb with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 3-4, I think it’s the same price at Sunflower Market (though I think I may have skipped over it in that ad review).

General Grocery and Household

Kellogg’s Cereal (12-16.5 oz) or Post Cereal (11-20 oz) $1.50 with in-ad coupon, limit 4
Use $1/2 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: $1
Rating: 3.5, maybe higher depending on what varieties are included (certain varieties go on sale more often than others).

Skippy Peanut Butter 99¢ with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 3-3.5 – I probably wait to see if we get a coupon in Sunday’s inserts.

Country Farms Bread (24 oz) 99¢ with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 5?

Albertsons Concorn Grape Jelly (18 oz) 99¢ with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 3

Prego Pasta Sauce 2 for $3 with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 4 if you’re brand loyal?  Prego doesn’t go on sale too often

Albertsons Pasta (32 oz) 2 for $3 with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 4 – this is the same as paying 75¢ for a 1 lb box.

Purex 2X Ultra Liquid Detergent (50 oz) $1.99 with in-ad coupon, limit 4
Use 35¢/1 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: $1.64
Rating: 4 –  I may save my coupons to see if we get a better deal at a store that doubles.
