Awesome Albertson's Trip

Albertson's is running a promotion this week when you spend $25 on Conagra products, you get a $10 catalina back for your next purchase. The fine print says that the $25 is calculated after any manufacturer's coupons, but many of my favorite bloggers were reporting that the $25 is calculated before any manufacturer's coupons. I tried it out today and found that to be true. I saved 93% on everything below.

1st Transaction

Item	Regular Price	Sale Price	Coupon	I Paid
(8) Healthy Choice Soup X 8	$2.99	$1.00	(4) $1/2 (3) Albertsons doublers	$1.00
(5) Hunts Diced Tomatoes	$1.79	$1.00	(1) $.45/3	$4.55

Received Catalina for $10 off next purchase

2nd Transaction

Item	Regular Price	Sale Price	Coupon	I Paid
(2) Snyder’s Pretzels	$2.99	$2.00	$1/2 (1) Albertson’s Doubler	$2.00
(4) Smart Pop Kettle Corn	$3.29	BOGO	(2) $1/2 (2) Albertson’s doublers	$2.58
(2) Simply Orange Juice	$4.49	$3.29	(2) $1/1	$4.58
(1) Swiss Miss Cocoa Packets	$2.79	$1.00		$1.00



Total = $10.16

-         $10 Catalina

OOP = $0.16

This trip was made even sweeter by the fact that Snapple is running a rebate promotion right now to get your whole purchase price refunded. You can request one per household member, so I'll request rebates on both Snapple packs and get $10 back.

OOP TOTAL = $15.71

-         (2) $5 Snapple rebates

Grand Total = $5.71

Even my not-easily-impressed-by-my-couponing husband was impressed by this deal.
