Do you know if the DFW Albertson's still doubles/triples?
I only ask because I live in Ft. Worth and our ad had a special "double/triple coupons" offer in it last week, like it was "special". I noticed this week they didn't have one - so does that mean they are only doubling/tripling at certain times?

And I do miss the 10 percent off on Cowboy Game Day (when you wore a jersey)

The three I go to Crowley, Burleson, and Arlington still double and triple up to four like coupons everyday. But the ads do have the "double/triple coupons" in them from time to time.

I also shop the Crowley and Burleson stores and they are still D/T-ing.

Learned something new about rainchecks. Last week Burleson never got their shipment of the ground turkey ($1 a pkg, limit 10) so I got a raincheck. Last night I found 2 pkgs at the Crowley store used the raincheck and got a new raincheck for the remaining 8. Also, they weren't sure if they could accept a raincheck issued at another store (huh?) but a higher-up confirmed it to be OK.

Also got the 88 cent bath tissue with a raincheck. In the past, I wouldn't wait around for them but they do pay off as there is usually plenty of stock after the sale is over which makes the trip leisurely!
