My Trip(s) To Albertsons 10/17

OK, so I've been sick and I haven't been able to make it to the General Mills sale until now so I am relieved to both be feeling better and to be able to snag some of the things I wanted to get on this sale. I have witnessed some customers not really following "coupon etiquette" several times in the last couple of weeks and it kind of gets annoying, ya know? People clearing the shelves of EVERYTHING to use up all of those 20 or 30 coupons they bought on Ebay and now the rest of us are left to look at empty shelves. OK, I'm off my soapbox. Here's what I did: (sorry for no pictures but it's late, and I'm still not feeling 100% so maybe next time!)

Also, check my post HERE to find out where to get coupons to go along with this sale.

For the newbies, I know this sale can be intimidating so here's my advice:

• Grab an ad! Make sure you have the right item, and right size so that your cat will print.
• Make sure your total hits $25 BEFORE tax and coupons! No more no less. Do all transactons for this sale in $25 incriments.
• If your cat doesn't print, don't be afraid to ask someone. They'll help you fix whatever went wrong so that it will print.

any other questions, feel free to ask!! I'm happy to help!!
