This is a hot week at Albertsons! Feel free to check out our preview post, or just start reading all the tips in this post!!
Just a quick review of the promo and how it works:
Purchase $30 of participating items. What is marked on teh shelf is their current “sale price”. Use this amount to get you total to $30. When you go to check out, you’ll redeem all your coupons and your total out of pocket will go down depending on which coupons you use. After you pay a “voucher” will print out of the catalina machine for $15.00 (or three catalina’s valued at $5 each). If you want to, you can do ANOTHER transaction of $30. This time, you’ll hand the cashier all your coupons PLUS the catalina’s you just received. Now your total out of pocket will be MUCH less! And you’re right – another $15.00 of catalinas will print out after you pay! Albertsons will allow you to do 3 separate transactions in a row. If you want to do more, simply take your groceries out to your car and come back in!
Here are printable coupons you’ll want to use for this sale!

HERE is the SCOOP from our FABULOUSLY FRUGAL readers!
As of this morning, these stores are reportedly VERY well stocked (leave a comment about your store if it’s not listed here):
Ustick/Five Mile
5&O – no Kleenex until Saturday
Fairview/Cherry – all Kleenex taken
Caldwell
Fairview/Cole
Nampa 12th & Greenhurst
A few things to be aware of:
A few readers have reported some issues with the catalina’s printing. They are working out the bugs. So if you cat does NOT print, be sure to bring it to the cashiers attention so they can double check the receipt and force one through for you!
And from reader Tracy:
Their Tide sale today is a mis-print – it SHOULD read $9.99 EACH when you buy 2, which is only a $1 savings each jug – yawn!!! As you read the ad, it looks like both for $9.99, bummer!! AND – I found a smokin’ un-advertised deal, they have Jimmy Dean plain sausage in 1 lb tubes marked down for quick sale to .99 cents from $4.99!! It is only on the plain, no flavored stuff but still a GREAT stocking up savings, for cooking, soups, pizza, etc!!
And from reader Cheryl:
A heads up about this promo… the Breyer’s ice cream is also included. It is on sale for $6.39 BOGO. I was curious as to whether it would work like the Dr. Pepper Buy $20, Get $5 catalina just did. (As in, would it count the price of the free one towards the total for making $30… would buying six count as $38.34 towards your total or as 19.17?) I tested it with a manager this morning and it is taking the 6.39 off along the way and NOT at the end like the Dr. Pepper promo and buying 6 Breyers will not trigger the cat to print.Oh and thanks to Superbob0000 at SD here’s a link to the UPC list for this promo.
