Happy Sunday, Friends!
So check this out: Albertsons did away with doublers. Seriously. Seriously sad. Apparently Walmart was accepting the Albertsons double coupons and letting you use more than the amount that Albertsons would and bunches of people took advantage of that. Thereby taking advantage of Albertsons. Which, I don't agree with at all. So what Albertsons has done is a "coupon round-up" wherein they will round any denomination of coupon up to $1. Now, this is good for your coupons that are less than 50-cents, but the $1 ones you kinda lose out on because before you would get $2 and now it's just the $1. All that being said, I still had a pretty good score under the new program.
Let's check it out.
By the numbers:
(10) bags of Goldfish crackers
(6) packs of Ball Park franks
(6) cans of Rotel tomatoes & chiles
(6) Mentos gums
(4) boxes of Ronzoni linguine
(4) mini tubs of Chips Ahoy cookies
(4) Yoplait Greek yogurts
(4) Starkist tuna pouches
(4) cartons of Minute Maid lemonade
(3) big bags of Doritos
(2) 2-liters of Pepsi Max (my new favorite diet cola as it tastes less-diet than any other cola I've tried)
Actual retail price: $121.87.
I paid $12.24.
That's a 90% savings!
Not too shabby without the doublers after all!
The good stuff: the Goldfish were on sale for $1 and I had 75-cent off coupons that were rounded-up to $1 - 10 bags...free. The Ball Park franks were $1.99 and I had $2 off coupons - 6 packages...free; and the Doritos were free for every 2 packs of the hot dogs you bought. The Mentos were on sale for $1 and I had 55-cent off coupons that were rounded-up to $1 making those free as well. The Ronzoni pasta was on sale for $1.09 and I had 55-cent off coupons rounded-up to $1...free again. The Yoplait yogurts were on sale for $1 and I had 30-cent off coupons that were rounded-up to $1...um...free too - LOL
Have a great Sunday!

Leave it to you to still make it work. My grocery store down here has been doing what Albertson's just started for years. It's still a little extra...and every bit helps. Enjoy your goodies!
Wow, I'm really surprised that wal-mart was matching that deal. Sorry it got messed up, but it looks like you are still going to be scoring lots of good deals! Free goldfish = heaven (for me anyway!).
Nobody doubles coupons out here in the boonies! We have a super Wal-mart and no other grocery stores unless you drive into the next town--which isn't far--or drive into Knoxville. I'll have to scope out the grocery stores in the next town when I'm that way and see if they ever double coupons. You did inspire me and I printed out some coupons last night and saved about $13 today. Sweet!
