TF Albertsons New Special Order Policy

2010-10-15T20:44:00.000-07:00

I was at the Twin Falls Alberstons store tonight and they informed me of their new "special order" policy at their store. Last week was a great sale, and there were lots of special orders. Apparently they had some difficulty storing people's orders in the back room due to lack of space and so they began selling the special orders to first-come customers regardless of who's order it was. This defeats the purpose of a special order and I was afraid it would lead to problems in the future. Apparently, and obviously, there were some upset customers. Then on the other hand, there were customers like myself that had placed an order that week and the week before and the store never placed nor pulled my order. HMMMM......

......so their answer to this problem? They will no longer pull or hold a special order for anyone. (lovely solution, huh?) They are willing to increase their quantity ordered of an item if you would like to order a large quantity but it will put on the shelf and sold first-come, first-serve. Not really a special order in my book. From the looks of things on the Boise blogs, this is not the way that they do things at other stores.

So, what do you think of this new policy??? How can you order coupons to buy a large quantity when you aren't even ensured that you will get the product? I'd really like to know how everyone feels because if there are a lot of us that are opposed to the new "policy" maybe we can voice our opinions and get it changed to something that will work better for the customer and the store. Please, let me know what you think!!!

Update on Albertsons GM Stock On Hand

2010-09-08T22:24:00.001-07:00

OK so I had big plans to be at Albertsons early this morning because I knew they'd run out of everything early (as per usual) but life and laundry got in the way and I didn't make it till late tonight and I thought I'd share what I found. Maybe this will save you a trip.

Green Giant boxed veggies: very few left and no broccoli or cauliflower

(nice picture, huh?)

Totinos Pizzas: there are still a few at the end freezer case, but just a few.

Totinos Pizza rolls: GONE!

Biscuits: still pretty well stocked

Sweet Moments: still stocked

Cookie Dough: stocked and there is a $1/2 coupon in the dispenser below!!!

Is anyone else that shops at the Twin Falls store frustrated about the quantity on hand of ad items, or is it just me? Please let me know what you think. I find it very frustrating that they seem to never order a decent quantity of ad items! It seems crazy to me that on day one of a big promo sale like this that you have empty shelves. My stack of Albertsons rain checks is huge. So, that being said.....get rain checks! (UGH!)

Another note, the Grocery Smarts page says that the Old El Paso refried beans are included in the promo, however they are not at the Twin store. I don't know if this varies from store to store or if it was just a typo but it is a shame that they are not!!! I had a rain check that made them $.50 from a few weeks ago (the price they would have been on this promo) and with the catalina they are generating, it made them FREE. So I guess sometimes a rain check turns out to be a better deal! Often times you can use it with doublers later or keep your fingers crossed a catalina starts for that item.

Smiths Case Lot Sale = FREE VEGGIES

2010-09-08T16:31:00.000-07:00

Today is day one of the Smiths case lot sale. This typically lasts 2 weeks. I used to stock up at case lot sales but since I started couponing, often times I can get a better price without buying it by the case. Well, I just found out today that the Twin Falls store is accepting manufacturer coupons on the case lot items. Ummm, YAY!!!! I'm not sure what's better than a case lot sale you can use coupons on? Wait, yeah, it would be awesome if we could double those too, but I guess I won't get that greedy! :)

So go HERE and check out post #2. They put up some great links to coupons that can be used with the case lot sale.

Remember those $1/3 Libby's vegetable coupons we got in the Parade magazine and the RP a few weeks ago? Yeah, use four of those and you get A FREE CASE OF VEGGIES!!!!

Post Cereal Sale at Albertsons 3/17/3/23

2010-03-17T10:57:00.001-07:00

So (in case you haven't heard) the Post cereal sale starts today at Albertsons. Our area did NOT get coupons in the paper so if you planned ahead, you had to order coupons on Ebay. If you didn't plan ahead, don't worry, it's still a good deal if you buy by March 21st.

The following catalina will run through Sunday:

Buy 4 select Post cereals, get $3 back OYNO

Buy 5 select Post cereals, get $4 back ONYO

I unfortunately don't know which "select" Post cereals are included in the catalina. I guess it'll be trial and error (unless someone else can find that info, please let me know).

OK so here are some scenarios (thanks to fabulessly frugal!!):

IF you have NO COUPONS (just make sure you purchase by Sunday):
Buy 5 boxes @ $1.59 each = $7.95
less $4 catalina = $3.95
equals $.79 each (not an awesome price, but still a good price on cereal)

IF you have coupons AND doubles
Buy 4 boxes @ $1.59 each = $6.36
less $2.00 using (2) $1/2 coupons = $4.36
less $3.00 catalina (because wyb 4 boxes, the catalina is for $3.00)
less $1.00 (because you only want to double ONE coupon to minimize your oop)
equals $.36 (plus tax which I'm guessing will be $.14) for FOUR boxes!
$.09 per box (plus tax)

You might also consider purchasing SIX boxes ans asking the cashier to adjust the value of the double down. It would look like this:
Buy 6 boxes @ $1.59 each = $9.54
less $3.00 using (3) $1/2 coupons = $6.54
less $4.00 catalina (that you'll get the first time you buy 5 or more boxes of Post) = $2.54
less $2.00 (2) doubles
less $.54 3rd double adjusted down
equals TAX only!

If you have COUPONS and NO DOUBLES
Buy 4 x $1.59 = $6.36
less $2 using (2) $1/2 MQ = 5.59
less $3 Catalina = $1.59
= $.34 each!

Is It Too Good To Be True????

2010-03-11T09:15:00.000-08:00

Every time I hear about Kmart doubling coupons, the Idaho stores are not included. But this time around Idaho stores ARE ON THE LIST!!!! Is it too good to be true or are we actually going to get to cash in on this?? I guess we'll find out soon enough, but just in case it's true you better start going through those binders and finding good coupons to double.

April 4th -10th Kmart is supposed to be having another double coupon event. Kmart doubles manufacturer coupons up to $2!!! The limit is 5 coupons per person per day and there is no "double coupon" required. The register automatically doubles your manufacturer coupon. You can see the entire list of participating stores HERE.

Get your coupons ready....sounds like fun!!! I know I'm excited!

Albertsons GM Promo UPDATE!

2010-02-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

It is being reported that the Albertsons General Mills Promo that I told you about HERE is printing BEFORE coupons. Now I haven't tried this for myself yet, so let me know if this works for you. So, if the reports are correct, you only need to spend the $20 BEFORE tax and coupons and then your $7 catalina will print. It is also being reported that these catalinas do roll, which means that you do the transaction once, then when you do it the second time, you can use your $7 catalina towards your 2nd transaction and another $7 catalina will print. Repeat.

It is also being reported that the following catalinas are also running:

Fiber One Bars:
Buy 3 Get $1.50
Buy 4 Get $2.50
Buy 5 get $3.50

BC Fruit Snacks:
Buy 3 Get $1.50
Buy 4 Get $2.50
Buy 5 get $3.50

Possible scenarios with all catalinas (thanks fabulesslyfrugal!)

PURCHASE 5 Fiber One Bars ($2.50 each)
PURCHASE 4 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks ($2.50 each)
TOTAL: $22.50

USE:
(2) $.50/2 BC Fruit Snacks from coupons.com
(2) $.40/1 Fiber One Bars from coupons.com
(2) $.40/1 Fiber One Bars from smartsource
(1) $.40/1 Fiber One Bars from eatbetteramerica.com

TOTAL: $20.30

RECEIVE:
$7.00 GM catalina
$3.50 Fiber One Bars catalina
$2.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks Catalina

That is $13.00 in catalinas!

Albertsons 2/24-3/2

2010-02-23T22:57:00.000-08:00

I was pretty excited to see the General Mills Promo back again at Albertsons this week, especially because it includes a $7 catalina with a $20 purchase, where it is usually only a $5 catalina. Then I read the fine print. This time the deal is different. Hopefully this is a one time thing and not a permanent change.

The deal this time is you must spend $20 AFTER store and manufacturer coupons and you can only do one deal per person. UGH! Not that great of a deal. So now, you have to bring your total GM purchase to $20 AFTER all coupons, and I'm assuming the catalina, if you are allowed to roll it. Come on Albertsons, give us something to get excited about!!

Here are some of the General Mills Promo matchups thanks to discountqueens. The price is before/after catalina factored in.

FREE Oatmeal!!

2010-02-15T23:41:00.000-08:00

I used my Oatmeal rain check from the Quaker sale at Albertsons the other day while they had some in stock. I bought 20 boxes of oatmeal for $1 each. Then I used 10 $2/2 Quaker oatmeal coupons from the Albertsons coupon book and got all 20 boxes for FREEEEE!!!! (well, I did have to pay tax...)

Purex 3-in-1

2010-02-15T23:17:00.000-08:00

My Albertsons clearanced these 20 ct Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets for $2.99 (reg $7.99)

I doubled my $1 off coupons and got them for only $.99 each!! I actually bought 8 (not sure where I put the other 2) so that's 160 loads of laundry for less than $8!!! Now that's a great deal!

My Coupon Binder

2010-02-15T22:55:00.000-08:00

There are lots of different ways to file your coupons, and not one way is the right way. It is just whatever works best for you. For me, the binder is the only way to go. I have a lot of coupons and this is just the only way I can keep track of them. I file mine by category rather than date.

I bought my old binder because it had a handle on it. Turns out, I had so many coupons that the handle did me no good because I couldn't zip the thing closed! Since I couldn't close it, I had to start carrying it in a bag.

Then I saw my friend's Case-It binder and I fell in love!!! I had to have one!!

I ordered mine from amazon.com. I got the larger one and it cost $25.09 and shipping was free. It was well worth it.

It actually has 2 sets of rings. This larger binder has a 3 inch ring on one side (which is where I put my grocery coupons) and a 1 1/2 inch ring on the other side (which is where I put my household and health & beauty coupons).

It also comes with the pouches that are pictured above which are super handy!! There is one for each side and they velcro down to hold everything in place.

It is also a little less conspicuous when it's lying on the top of the shopping cart than the other binder was.

Now I can actually zip this closed!!! It also has a handle and a shoulder strap so no more coupon bag needed!! There is also a compartment on the front "cover" that has pockets to hold scissors and pens and such.

I am in love with my new binder, and I just thought I would share my way of filing with you all.

Coupons in the Mail!!!

2010-02-15T22:43:00.000-08:00

Last week, I got all of the above coupons in the mail. This is why it pays (literally) to sign up for freebies and coupons.

I received:
Huggies coupons
Fred Meyer rewards coupons
2 $2 Advil coupons from CVS
$17 Con Agra coupon book
Tide coupons I ordered off of Ebay
$25 off Canyon Crest meal coupon

People ask me all the time where I get all of my coupons...well, this is one of the places. I try to sign up for coupon books offered by manufacturers and other "freebies" that I find of interest. Remeber, whenever a company sends you a free sample, they almost always include coupons for the product.

UPDATE on Walgreens Coloring Book Coupons

2010-02-11T11:45:00.000-08:00

Remember the Walgreens Coloring Book I told you about HERE? The coupon policy has just changed.
My friend was told that last night by the store manager that Walgreens got word from corporate that they have to cut the coupons out of the coloring book and keep them from now on. No more just entering codes like they do for the rest of their store coupons. I'm not too sure of the reason for this but I thought I would pass it on. Looks like you will have to buy a book for each coupon you want to use. This doesn't make the deals quite as sweet any more, though. :(

FREE Excedrin!!

2010-02-11T11:25:00.000-08:00

Answer one question and get a FREE bottle of Excedrin in the mail!! Just don't select Excedrin as one of the products you've used recently!! (If you do then you will receive a $2 off coupon)

Update on Smith's Coupon Policy

2010-02-09T21:45:00.000-08:00

I learned tonight that Smiths has changed their coupon policy yet again. I don't want to have to get on my soap box again but let it just be said that if people continue to abuse the store's acceptance of competitor coupons, then pretty soon they aren't going to even accept them at all.

The Idaho Smiths stores are the only stores that accept competitor coupons and they have slowly changed their policy because people are taking advantage. I'm sure it's none of my readers tho!! ;)

Their new policy: They will only accept competitor coupons from other GROCERY stores.

I was told that they will no longer accept Walgreens, Shopko, Kmart, and other store's catalina coupons. They will continue to accept Albertsons and Fred Meyer coupons. Target was not mentioned and I didn't think about it until I left so I am not certain if they are accepting Target coupons still or not. I will let you know when I find out.

Please, use your coupon etiquette when shopping. Be kind, don't take all of the coupon books, ads, or items. Leave some for others and don't do what you know is wrong. There are a few who do this and ruin it for the rest of us.

My Mega Event Trips

2010-02-09T18:17:00.000-08:00

OK, so I've really been talking up this Mega Event sale at Smiths the last two weeks and for good reason...it was a good one!! There were so many coupons to pair with the great sale prices! I wish that I would have had my card reader so I could have dazzled you all with pictures of my purchases ;) however, my kids ran away with it again and so I am picture-less. I did a tally and thought I would at least share the numbers with you.

Over the last two weeks I made six trips to Smiths. I left each time with a cart full of groceries!! Not just a few items, but TONS of stuff. I was able to re-stock on lots of items that I needed and I got enough to last my family months. I spent more than I usually do in two weeks time but like I said, I got so much for my money!

Total Spent: $241.15

Total Saved: $807.12 or 77%

Albertsons Coupon Book

2010-02-09T16:34:00.001-08:00

These Albertsons coupon books are now available at the Twin Falls store. They are on display by both entrances but are going quickly. Please be polite and don't take them all. Only take what you will use and save some for everyone else.

Inside is a $1/1 Fresh Express Salad kit that can be paired with the $1.47 store coupon (ends today!!) final price: $.47

Also, there is a $1/2 12 pk of Coke coupon that can be used at Smiths to pair with their 4 for $11 Coke sale (also ends today!!) final price: $9 for 4 cases, or $2.25 each.

There is also a $2/2 Quaker instant oatmeal coupon inside. This can be used if you got a rain check on instant oatmeal from last week's Quaker sale, making them free.

Walgreens Coloring Book with Coupons is HERE!

2010-02-09T07:49:00.000-08:00

Have you been reading about all of these great coupons found inside the Walgreens coloring book, but NEVER being able to find the coloring book??? Well, the new Walgreens store in Twin Falls FINALLY has them in stock!!! (The old store might have them too, I just haven't been there yet)

These are $.99 each and come with all of the above coupons inside the cover. They are located in the pharmacy next to the cash register. There are some great coupons in here, especially the $1 Huggies coupon to pair with the great sale on Huggies this week. You don't need to buy 3 like I did tho, I wasn't thinking and bought one book for each package of diapers I was buying but they just enter the code and don't even take your coupon, so one book will suffice. I shared my other 2 books with friends.
(so no need to buy them all, save some for everyone else!!)

Last Day of Mega Event Sale at Smiths

2010-02-09T07:19:00.000-08:00

Today is the last day of the Mega Event Sale at Smiths. This has been an awesome sale!! Part of me is happy that it is ending because I have spent a lot of time at Smiths over the last 2 weeks, I need a break.

$4 Albertsons Diaper Coupon

UPDATE: I tried this deal last night and when I bought the diapers, a $4 coupon DID NOT print out.

Here is a $4 off Baby Basics Diaper coupon. These can be found at Albertsons. The coupon has to be used on a package priced at least $7 but rumor has it that when you buy a package, another $4 coupon prints out. I haven't tried it yet so I can't confirm it, but it's worth a try!!

Update on Quaker Sale at Albertsons

2010-01-29T23:21:00.000-08:00

I went into the Twin Falls Albertsons last night and they were out of A LOT of Quaker stuff!! Granola bars...gone. Dips....gone. Good flavors of instant oatmeal....gone. There were still lots of boxes of cereal, I didn't look really close so I don't know if they are out of certain kinds or not. And they still had some Oats.

The good news: They are writing rain checks!! You just have to get an amount in lots of 5's.
Also, they should be getting in a truck Monday night so hopefully they will have some of it restocked my mid-morning Tuesday.

More good news: If you didn't have time to order coupons on ebay, you still can. If you get a rain check you have 30 days to use it, which gives you plenty of time to get your coupons! ;)

If you don't want to wait for a rain check, you can always take your ad to Walmart and have them price match Albertsons price. (That is if Walmart isn't wiped out too!)

Bad news: They informed me that they are no longer taking the Fred Meyer Quaker coupon. Now, I never saw this coupon because the people in my town cleaned out my Fred Meyer store of all coupon books (shame!) but they also mentioned something about an "orange coupon" although I'm not too sure which one that would be.

How have you done at the Quaker sale?? I'd love to hear your feedback!!

Albertsons 1/27-2/2 Big Quaker Sale

2010-01-26T22:50:00.000-08:00

OK, here it is, the big Quaker sale at Albertsons!! This is a good one!!

$1 each when you buy in lots of 5 (5 for $5):

Cap'n Crunch cereal
Life cereal
Oatmeal Squares cereal
Quaker pancake mix
Aunt Jemima pancake mix
Quaker Chewy or Dips granola bars
Quaker Breakfast Cookies
Quaker Instant Oatmeal

$1.40 each when you buy 5:

Aunt Jemima Syrup
Quaker Oats

These are great prices, just on their own but if you pair with coupons it gets even better. Now Idaho didn't get the Quaker coupons in the inserts but you can order some off of ebay, print $1 off coupon here (create your perfect day required), or $1/2 coupon here.

Now, if you are planning on buying a ton of stuff, be kind and place an order with the grocery manager. Don't clear the shelves. This is going to be a popular sale so be courteous and shop early. If you dare wait till Sunday, there is a rumor of doublers coming in the Sunday ad. I'm not sure if I want to test my luck and wait till Sunday or not. I did already place my order for the Dips granola bars though. At the Twin Falls store, the grocery manager said that they have plenty of regular granola bars but only enough Dips to fill the shelves so if you're looking for a large quantity of Dips...place your order!

Other deals:

Orville Redenbacher's popcorn $3.19, buy one get another box and two 2 liters of 7-Up, A&W or Sunkist FREE. (with in store coupon)

Keebler crackers or Town House cookies $1.88 each

and LOTS of Unilever coupons on the back page of the ad. Now these are manufacturer coupons and so they can't be combined with any other manf coupons.

My Smiths Deals 1/19/10

2010-01-19T22:27:00.000-08:00

Good news and bad news.......

Good news! Smiths in Twin Falls accepts Albertsons doubler (twice the value) coupons!!!!!

Bad news! They limit it to 3 doublers per person per day. Here's where I get on my soap box. I learned last week that Smiths was accepting Albertsons doublers because the store manager told my sister that someone came in with 100 $1 shampoo coupons and 100 doublers. WOW! Then, this week 2 people came in with 80 doublers. Now here's the deal, people.....DON'T ABUSE THE SYSTEM!!! Come on now. Who the heck would think that using 80-100 double coupons in one transaction wouldn't send a red flag to the store. Smiths is doing a GREAT thing in my book by accepting competitor coupons! They are the only store I know of around here that does it. And I was really happy to learn they accepted doublers!! But then I heard about these transactions and I said "they are gunna ruin it for everyone." I hate it when I'm right. The fact that they still accept doublers at all is good, don't get me wrong. I am very grateful for that!! I just get irritated when people abuse it. Smiths has been AWESOME to work with when it comes to coupons and I hope that they don't change their policy any more than they have. Lets just be realistic when we shop, shall we? The competitor coupons come right off the bottom line for the store, they don't get reimbursed for them at all. The fact that they accept them is a service to us, the customer. So lets be courteous, and not greedy, OK?

Alright, I'm stepping off the soap box now....

More good news.... I got everything in the picture for $14.58, and I saved $50.98 (80%)

12 boxes of Lean Pockets (my kids love them) used Albies coupon for $1.39 and 3 $1/4 manufacturer coupons. ($3.59 for 4 boxes)
11 bags of Steam Fresh veggies (these are so handy!!) on sale for $1 each, used 11 $1.50 off Steam Fresh meals coupons (profit $.50 per bag!)
3 8-packs of DanActive drinkable yogurt. Clearance priced for $1.50 each, used 3 $1.00 manf coupons ($.50/8pack)
2 gallons of milk $2 each
1/2 gallon chocolate milk $1.99 used FREE coupon
