Albertsons Weekly: rock-bottom price on flour, great deal on Chex cereal

Yay!  Albertson’s continues doubling, tripling, and quadrupling coupons again this week!  This basically means that all of your coupons under $1.00 will be multiplied up to $1.00, except those that state “do not double”.

If you’ve bought ground beef at Albertson’s recently, you might want to check out this information about a recall.

There’s an in-ad coupon for a free turkey (up to 15 lbs) with a $100 purchase (the turkey does not count as part of the minimum purchase).  Also, they’re matching the “front page turkey price” of King Soopers, Safeway, or Walmart (grade A, frozen). I’m not positive if this means they’ll pricematch only the exact same brand, or any brand.

Last year, Albertson’s had the lowest prices on turkeys anyway, so you may not even need to mess with pricematching.

Pillsbury Deal: Buy 4, Get a Free Gallon of Albertson’s Milk

I would place the “maximum value” of the gallon of milk at $2, since that’s a pretty standard sale price for milk these days.  I would consider the free milk to take an additional $0.50 “off” the price of the Pillsbury. It might be a decent deal, especially if there’s a Pillsbury catalina deal going on!

The ratings below do take into account the free milk; without the milk, the ratings would be a notch lower.
