Albertsons Ad Preview ***Huge Quaker Sale***


Thanks to Fabulessly Frugal for this info:

Here is how this promotion works.
•Purchase the items in increments of 5
•There are no limits
•You can mix and match

ITEMS THAT ARE $1
•All Cap'n Crunch Varieties {14-16 oz}
•Life and Cinnamon Life {14-16 oz}
•Oatmeal Squares Cereal {14-16 oz}
•Quaker Chewy Granola Bars or Dipps {7.9-8.7 oz}
•Quaker Breakfast Cookies
•Quaker Instant Oatmeal
•Quaker Pancake Mix {2 lb select varieties}
•Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix {32 oz}

ITEMS THAT ARE $1.40
•Quaker Oats {42 oz}
•Aunt Jemima Syrup

NOW - these are items that I stock up on. We just barely ran out of oatmeal from the October sale, so I'm excited to get stocked up again! One thing I do to make the instant oatmeal last longer is rather than letting the kids use 2 packs (because 1 pack just doesn't fill them up!), I have them put some of the plain quick oats (that are on sale for $1.40). Makes it less sugary, and makes the instant last longer!

Here are some printable coupons to use:
$1 off 1 Quaker Instant Oatmeal or Quick or Old Fashioned Oats  from this link and from this link (you have to "Create your day" and send it to a friend in order to print from the second link).

In Sunday's paper there were coupons for $.55 off 1 Quaker Oatmeal to Go Breakfast Bars, any from 01-24-10 RP

There are rumors going around the blogosphere that there will be Doublers on Sunday, but this is such a great sale that I would get at least some items before the weekend.  These products are going to fly off the shelves at these prices. 

You can also order a variety of Quaker coupons off e-bay.  I got $1 off 2 Quaker Chewy Granola Bars from there (20 coupons cost me $1.50).  Just place your order ASAP so that they will get here in time, and only do Buy It Now items, because there isn't time to wait for an auction to close.  Also check the seller's feedback from other buyers to see what their service is like, the feedback should be right around 100%, and make sure the description says they ship within 24 hours.  If you order by Wednesday, the coupons should get here by Saturday.  UPDATE:  Most of the coupons from e-bay are gone.

I will get a post up about the rest of the coupon match-ups later.

$2 off Post Cereals Printable Coupon


$2 off any Post Shredded Wheat, Grape Nuts or Raisin Bran

LINK to printable coupon

Enter your info at the bottom of the page to sign up for their newsletter, and they will email you a link to a $2 printable coupon. The printable coupon lists Post Shredded Wheat, Grape Nuts, or Raisin Bran, and does not have to be used on the Natural Advantage variety!

This will make for some free cereal!  This coming week at Albertsons, they will have their post cereals on sale for $1.50. 

Thanks Pinching Your Pennies for this coupon!

Couponing #9- How to Quickly Clip Coupons

When I started couponing, I tried cutting out all of the coupons individually with scissors, and it took me over 3 hours to clip the coupons from 4 different papers.  I knew there must me a faster way to do this or it was not going to be worth my time to cut them out.  This is what I came up with:

1. Separate the insert pages into stacks with all of the same pages together


2.  Use a paper trimmer to cut the coupons- I cut all 8 copies of the same page at the same time.


3.  As the coupons are cut, they are already in nice stacks with all of the same coupons in a pile.  I organize my coupons in alphabetical order, so as I cut the coupons, I lay them into piles alphabetically.  At this time, I also clip all of the Internet coupons I printed during the week.  As I put them in my binder, I clear out the expired coupons and place any coupons that are about to expire or that I want to use during the week in the front of the binder for easy access.   Placing the coupons in baseball card holders with the expiration date showing, really helps make this process quick and easy.  It takes me anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 hour each week to clip and organize the coupons, depending on the number of inserts in the paper.

When starting to coupon, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on items to use on clipping and organizing the coupons.  I already had the paper trimmer from scrapbooking, so that is why I use it to clip the coupons.  You can also use scissors to cut the stacks of coupons or a cutting tool and cutting mat.  Use whatever cutting tool and system of organization that will work for you.

Couponing #8- My Coupon Binder

Each day this week, I am doing a post on couponing basics.



Here is a picture of my coupon binder.  I purchased it at Costco in August when they had a coupon for it.  It cost about $13 without the coupon or $10 with the coupon. In the front pockets I keep the shopping lists and coupons I am planning on using that day along with a calculator.  I started couponing with a simple 1" ring binder, but upgraded to this 2" ring binder when I had the chance.  Even at 2", I still have issues closing it all the way.



The first few pages of the binder are simple sheet protectors that I use to put coupons that I want to use right away and a price list from Pinching Your Pennies that lists the best deals on specific items. (I will post a copy of it soon, so you can print it.)


I organize the coupons in alphabetical order.  For each section, I start out with a page protector to keep all of the oversized and printable coupons in.  Then I keep the rest of the coupons in baseball card holders.  I try to keep the expiration date visible so that I can easily clean out the coupons as they expire.


There are lots of different ways to store your coupons, but this works for me.  I take this binder with me whenever I go grocery shopping.

Couponing Etiquette

Each day this week, I am doing a post on couponing basics.

Here are some ways to reduce your time shopping in a store as well as keep the cashiers and other customers happy.
  • Be organized before you go a the store. Go with a list and make sure all of your coupons are handy.  I like to keep the coupons that I plan on using in an envelope for easy access, even when I take my coupon binder into the store. Others carry smaller accordion-style folders to keep things organized. 
  • Have your coupons in hand when you get to the register. I like to find a relatively quiet place in the store where I can get out all of the coupons I am going to use. If I have to complete more than one transaction, then I have the coupons and the items separated for the cashier.  Also, some cashiers want all of the coupons at the end, while others want each coupon with the item you are using it on.  So, it can be helpful to ask them how they want the coupons organized.
  • Keep your calm when things don't ring up properly. Be patient and ask for a manager if you need any clarification.  If you find a problem with your receipt after you checked out and the cashier is busy, then head on over to customer service for help.
  • Avoid using the self-checkout lanes when using coupons.  Although some stores allow you to use coupons in the self-checkout lanes, it is best to go to the regular check-out lane to make sure everything rings up properly.  Try to use the self-checkout lanes only when an employee is working in the area and can help you.

Getting the Most Bang for Your Buck

Each day this week, I will do a post on couponing basics.

Once you have all of your coupons, the most cost-effective way to use them is to combine them with a sale and stock up of things at extremely low prices. By doing this, you will not have to buy them again until they go on sale again. However, just because you have a coupon, does not mean that you should go out and use it right away. There are things that you buy frequently that you must purchase regardless of it being on sale, but save most of your coupons for sales. Here are some other ways that you can maximize your savings and save your sanity.
  • Pick a few stores to focus on and don't feel discouraged if you miss a sale or a great deal. The nice thing about shopping is that there will always be more sales and coupons. It can be very overwhelming when you start couponing, because you want to take advantage of every deal. However, this is not realistic, so pick stores that work for you and do not worry about the rest.
  • Stack your manufacturer's coupons with store coupons. In-store coupons can be found in weekly ads. Stores that issue their own coupons will let you use a manufacturer's coupon in conjunction with their store-issued coupons.
  • Use 2 coupons on buy-one-get-one-free sales. When a store offers B1G1 free deal on a certain item, you can usually use one coupon for the full-price item and another for the free item.
  • Use a coupon on an item with a mail-in-rebate. When a company offers a mail-in-rebate on an item, they reimburse you for the pre-coupon price of the item.
  • Be aware of deals that print catalinas. Often catalinas will print on items that are on sale and that you have coupons for. These deals are not always advertised, so checking blogs help find them. Catalinas are usually good for a certain dollar amount off your next shopping order.
  • Albertsons has in-store coupons that will double the value of your manufacturer's coupon up to $1. They are also called "Twice the Value Coupons" or "Doublers." When these coupons are issued, they are found in either their Wednesday or Sunday ads. The coupons that are issued in the Sunday paper are usually valid from Sunday-Tuesday of that week, while coupons issued in their main Wednesday ad are usually good for a full week. Using these Doublers with your manufacturer's coupons in conjunction with their sale items can result in 75%-95% savings. The catch is that you can only double 2-3 coupons per transaction. If you want to double more coupons than that, they must be done in separate transactions. Depending on the store, you can do 1-3 transactions at a time before you drop the groceries off in your car and come back in the store.

Coupon Organization

Each day this week, I will do a post about couponing basics.

Clipping and Organizing coupons takes time (about an hour a week) but it saves a lot of time in the long run. I have about 500 different coupons at one time, so I have to be able to access the coupons easily when I am in the store. Here are a few suggestions to help you save time and stay organized.
  • Clip ands save most of the coupons even if you haven't ever tried the product or usually use a different brand. A deal might come up where you can get something really cheap, so keep as many coupons as possible. Only get rid of the coupons that you would absolutely never use.  (Some people don't clip all their coupons when they get them.  They file them away by insert date and only cut them when they are about to use them.  That is why I list where the coupons came from on my posts.)
  • Cut out multiple copies of the same coupon all at once. I like to separate the Sunday coupon insert pages and put all copies of the same page together and cut them out at the same time. This saves a lot of time versus clipping each page individually. I also like to use a paper trimmer instead of scissors.
  • Pick a method of organization that best fits your needs. I keep my coupons organized in alphabetical order in a binder using page protectors and baseball card holders. You can buy special binders made for couponing (about $30) or you can use a three-ring binder that you already have around the house. Some couponers use plastic accordion folders or separate their coupons by categories (i.e. crackers, dairy, household items). 

Albertsons Ad Scan

I will get coupon match-ups posted later, but here is a scan of the upcoming Albertsons ad.  There is another General Mills promo very similar to the one we just had.

Stockpiling Coupons

Each day this week I will do a post on Couponing Basics.

The Sunday paper is the best source for coupons, and on average there are 2 coupon inserts (booklets of coupons) in each paper. Subscribing to multiple copies of the paper will help you take full advantage of sales and help you accumulate food storage. 4-6 copies of the newspaper will get you started, but a good rule of thumb is to have as many papers as family members.
  • The Idaho Statesman (377-6370) will let you get Sunday papers for $.50 apiece if you get at least 4 papers delivered. You can also get the weekly paper and a total of 5 Sunday papers for $3 per week.
  • The Idaho Press Tribune also delivers to Meridian and surrounding areas. You can get the daily paper for $6 a month and add more Sunday papers (up to 5 more) for $.60 apiece. (Call Greg at 870-2784).
  • You can also ask your friends and family for their unused papers.
Coupons can also be found in grocery stores.
  • Blinkies are found in coupon machines next to the product
  • Peelies are found on the products
  • Catalinas are coupons that print at the register
Internet Printable coupons, also knows as IPs are free. You can usually print 2 copies of each coupon, so push the back button after printing your first copy and refresh the page to print a 2nd copy. Never print a coupon from a PDF file, stores will not take them because either they are fraudulent or appear to be fraudulent. Here is a list of the best sites for printing coupons. You can also go to a company's website to find more coupons (i.e. Kraft, Kellogg's, Betty Crocker).
Note: Whether you get your coupons from the paper, the store, or the internet, you may only use one manufacturer's coupon per item(s) specified on the coupon. Some stores will let you use one of their store coupons with a manufacturer's coupon, but if the coupon says, "manufacturer's coupon" on it, then you may only use one per item. The only exception to this is if you get a catalina that says it is good for a certain amount off your next shopping order.

How To Use Pinching Your Pennies Printable Shopping Lists

Here is a post from Pinching Your Pennies about how to use their Printable Shopping Lists.

One of the amazing features here at PinchingYourPennies is the great shopping lists. These lists are prepared by smart shopping volunteers. "We scour grocery ads to find the best deals at many of your favorite stores, and match them with available coupons." This saves you so much time in preparing for a great coupon shopping experience.


1) Far left is a "Stock-up Scale:- indicates how good of a sale it is. 3 stars is on OK deal, 5 is the best deal!
2) Next column (second from the left) is the item. This has the item, brand, size.
3) Third column is the advertised sale price
4) Fourth will have any coupons, printable or insert, and any additional information; For instance "Requires in ad coupon". If the coupon is printable you can click on the link, usually labeled "link" or "Group A" etc, and will be taken to the location of the coupon. There is a coupon printer you will need to download in order to print. These downloads are clean and fast. If the coupon is from an insert Here is a great resource to show you how to understand how to find it.
5) Fifth and last column is the price AFTER coupons. This is the price the stock-up scale is taken from.


You can print off the entire list, the Albertsons list is typically 9-11 pages.
OR you can shrink down the list to just the items your interested in. Personally, I like printing off the promo items separately so I can work out scenarios.


To Shrink a list (this allows you to choose exactly what items you want to print, its a great way to customize the shopping list)
1) Click on the "Start" button on the top right corner, its just above the grocery smarts logo. That turns everything a light gray color
2) If you click on the large "stock up scale" star it will highlight everything that is a 4 to 5 star deals. And/ Or you can click on the items you want to highlight them.
3) Push shrink, and walla you have a custom shopping list. If you made a mistake, you can click "un-shrink" and fix it but remember to push shrink again before printing.
4) Now click "print." There's a great list you can take to the store.


If you forget these instructions while working on your list they are at the top of the grocerysmarts list.
