My Somewhat Frivolous Albertson's Doubler Trips

I had 5 sets of Albertson's double coupons this week that I used in 6 transactions on 2 days. Still with me? I guarantee I will lose you by the end of this post. Here it goes.

Transaction #1
(3) Danimals Crushables ($2.00)
(1) Dan-a-ninos ($2.00)
(1) Gallon of Organic Milk
- (3) $1/1 Danimals coupons
- (1) $1/1 Dan-a-ninos coupon
- (3) Albertson's Doublers
- $4 instant savings on milk
= $2.79

Transaction #2
(4) Containers of bubbles ($0.50)
(1) Luna Bar ($1.00)
(2) Yogurt Blue Cheese dressing ($4.79)
- (1) $0.50/1 Luna bar
- (2) $1/1 Yogurt Blue Cheese dressing
- (3) Albertson's Doublers
= $7.58

We needed the dressing for a BBQ (veggie dip...yum!) and I was really glad I had the $1/1 coupons. Even with the doubler, I didn't think it was a great deal but it would have killed me to pay $4.79!

Transaction #3
(4) Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies ($2.50)
- (4) $0.75/1 Fiber One Brownies coupon
- (3) Albertson's Doublers
= $4.75
Received a $2 AND a $5 catalina! (Thanks, Coupon Connections)

Transaction #4
(1) People Magazine ($3.99)
(8) Honest Teas ($1.25)
(1) Diet Coke ($1.49)
(2) Tree Top juice boxes ($1.00)
- (1) $1/1 People magazine
- (4) BOGO Honest Tea coupons
- (1) $1/1 Diet Coke coupon
- (1) $1/2 Tree Top coupon
- $7 in catalinas from Transaction #3
= $0.00

Transaction #5
(4) Nature Valley Granola Bars ($2.50)
- (2) $0.50/2
- (2) Albertson's Doublers
= $8.00
Received $2 catalina AND $5 catalina AND FREE milk catalina (up to $4.50) (Thanks, Thrifty and Thriving)

Transaction #6
(4) Nature Valley Granola Bars ($2.50)
- (2) $0.50/2
- (1) Albertson's Doubler
- $7 in catalinas from Transaction #5
= $1.50
Received $2 catalina AND $5 catalina AND FREE milk catalina (up to $4.50)

So to sum it up, I spent $23.87 and still have $7 in catalinas and 2 FREE gallons of milk. All of these are manufacturer coupons so I will most likely take them to Fred Meyer next week where I can get the cheapest organic milk.

Obviously, some of my purchases were a bit frivolous. But sometimes you just have to go crazy!
