Great job Connie! Love your site!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a survey coupon?
ReplyDeleteMichael, occasionally at the bottom of your Albertsons receipt a survey will print. If you call the 800 number and take a short survey, it turns into a $2 coupon of any purchase! I used to get these often, but my last 15 or so transactions I haven't gotten one so maybe they're not doing them very often anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks, smiling mama!!! :)
i have a questions about doublers can you expalin it to me. My store only doubles coupons once a month or so
ReplyDeleteoh one more question how do you get mulitple coupons for SS or Red plum
ReplyDeleteMinivanz, Albertsons puts out doublers in their ads occasionally on Weds and Sundays. They don't do it every week. When they do, there are usually 3 doubler coupons and they will double any manufacturer coupon up to $1. You have to have the Albertsons doubler coupon to use with it. This comes in the store ad or can be found at the customer service desk (you have to ask for it). I subscribe to the Idaho Statesman. I get the "couponer special" or whatever they call it. It is four Sunday papers every week. That way I get 4 coupon inserts and if the Albertsons ad with doublers is in Sunday's paper, then I get four of those too. I highly reccomend getting more than one paper because if there is a great sale and a good coupon, you're going to want to buy more than one of that item.
ReplyDeleteI hope that helps! If you have any other questions just let me know!! :)
