I am planning my shopping for tomorrow morning and looking forward to the double coupons at Albertsons. I went to the Albertsons on 37th & Grand last night and they had several ads right at the front of the store so I grabbed a couple of extra. Here is what I'm planning so far:

See my previous posts for links to internet printables.

Internet Printables

I've been looking at the Albertson's ad and trying to find printable coupons that will work with the double coupons that are valid this Sunday, March 22-Tuesday, March 24. The double coupons can be found in the Albertson's ad in today's newspaper. The Albertson's ad is also available at the store. My store puts them behind the customer service counter when they have an ad with double coupons. Just ask for an ad and they will give you one. It's probably better to do it now before the coupons start.

Pop Tarts .55/1 Print Here

These are part of Kellog's buy 10 products, save $10 instantly. If you buy 10 kellog's products and use this coupon with a doubler your final price will be: .40 cents per box.

Frosted Flakes: $1/2 Print Here

Also part of Kellog's promotion. Final price with doubled coupon: .50 cents/box.

Bagel Bites: $1/2 Print Here

When you buy $10 worth of Heinz products $3 is automatically taken off your order. Bagel Bites are on sale for $2 each. Buy 5 packs and use two of these coupons with 2 doublers and get 5 packs for $3 total or .60 cents a box.

Classico Pasta Sauce: $1/2 Print Here

Also part of the Heinz promotion. These are $2.50 each. Buy 4, use 2 coupons with 2 doublers. Final price: .75 per jar.

Remember the Albertson's doublers say you can only use 4 per transaction. My cashier was firm on this when I used them from Sunday's paper.

Albertsons Preview

The albertson's preview is up at Pinching Your Pennies. There is not a lot that interests me but they will be doing double coupons for three days only. It's nice that when the sales are kind of boring they tend to add the double coupons. Search through your stash or find some good printables. I'll try to put some links up later today.

Hot Coupon World

I just discovered a great way to print the Target coupons. Click HERE and sign up for Hot Coupon World. They have a list of all the Target coupons and you just specifiy the number you want to print and they all print on one page. Huge time saver, plus they have coupons from last month's Target website that expire on March 14. Of interest to me was the $1 off goldfish crackers. I've read that Goldfish Whole Grain crackers are on sale at Target for .99 cents.

Albertson's Preview

Pinching Your Pennies has their Albertson's preview up HERE. They are running a Kraft promotion where you buy $25 worth of Kraft items and instantly get $10 off. Ritz and wheat thins are included in this promotion so if you have the $2 off of two cracker coupons this will be a great deal. The kraft cheese will also be a good deal. I have read that there is a Catalina that prints out for $3 when you buy four cheeses.

Here's another great deal:

Whopper's Robin Eggs are $1.00 each.
Print off this coupon for $1.50/3 and they will be .50 cents each. A great time to stock up on Easter candy.

The Applesauce Deal Just Got Sweeter

I just read on moneysavingmom.com that there is an additional .55 cents off coupon for the Mott's Applesauce at Target. You can stack this coupon with the target $1.00 off coupon for a total saving of $1.55. Print it HERE. Happy shopping.

Lunch For Less

One thing I have found to be a real budget buster is lunches. It costs $2.00 per kid for hot lunch so we usually brown bag it, but even that is expensive, especially when using my old method of shopping Costco. I am finding I can find all of our favorite lunch items for nearly half the price by combining sales and coupons. Here is my latest great find. Target has a $1 off 6 pack of Mott's Applesauce. My kids love applesauce in their lunch and I love having it on hand for when we are out of fresh fruit to send in their lunches. Go HERE to print off a $1 off coupon. I just printed off 6 with no problem.

.67 Cent Cereal at Albertson's

I was just at Albertson's and they had Frosted Flakes, Rice Crispies and Fruit Loops for .67 cents a box. They are on sale for $1.67 and have $1.00 off coupons on them. They are located by the check out stands and also at the end of the cereal aisle. The $1.67 sale price is good through this week.
