Albertsons: good price on spiral-sliced ham, cheap fried chicken

Here’s your Albertsons deals this week.  They are continuing to double coupons up to 50¢ in value and triple up to 33¢ in value, but depending on which store you shop at and which cashier you get, may or may not double coupons that state “do not double”, as well as internet printable coupons.

Quite a few of the items in this week’s ad have limits, so watch that carefully.
