Albies NW - Ad 8/27-9/2 *Superbob's link in post #1* -matchups done!

Great job and thanks for the tip on 350 items. I'm surprised Superbob hasn't come across that fact yet ;)
BTW, is there a deal on the nabisco cookie cups that I'm missing???

Maybe for the free Kraft q's?

[iwik]

OK, so 350 items or so is not for the under-the-radar types. Anybody tried using the Walgreens $10/$40 Q?

[lovinmylife]

For the nabisco cookie cups I used the .75/2 nabisco cookies or crackers. We have over 200 koolaids so I wanted to get something else that also qualified for the Kraft frees.

They have figured out the overage thing at my Albies. They did not give me the coupon value BEFORE the kraft $3 was taken off. For example, the kraft singles are 3.33 or 3/$10 but they only gave me 2.33 off for the B3G1 coupon. So the price of the item AFTER the kraft $3 comes off. My total for the transaction was 41.XX but I ended up paying the 61.XX and I was not about to argue with them. :shrug7: I could have but I was trying to pick my battles and 61.XX is still very good!

I have used that Walgreens coupon without any problem!

I Got $30.00 but the post below said buy 5 to go salad dressings
6 crystal lights
3 hot dogs
5 to go salad drissings?
but the salad drissing would only be .75 cents with my coupon's right ?
my head hurts now LOL This is to confusing for me ... :(
and what if I use 5 $1.00 off to go salad dressing and a saffeway doubke to confuse me even more that would mean bigger overage right? I got it now I think LOL
Thanks for the help nate&natsmommy

Went last night and bought everything just as you said. After the cashier rang up everything and I gave him the q's, he was so confused he voided everything and started over. Rang up again and after all q's were used I had a balance of $3.40. It only took $6 off Kraft instant savings. took receipt to customer service and she said you have to buy $10 within each category(10 for $10, 3 for $10). I was too tired to argue so I left. When I got home I realized that I had got TWO $2 catalinas(one from the voided trans), so in the end I still came out ahead!

I am going to do this tomorrow. I just got my mags!

On the free Q's , does it matter how they ring them up could it effect the outcome of the Kraft Instant Savings? Did that Question make sense.

That is so lame of them! They will get the full value back so why not give it to the customer! I am so sorry you had to pay that much. My stockers look for Q's for me to use. I tell them which cats to look for and sometimes what is coming up. They are so happy with deals like this cause the Mfg pays us all to shop and their bottom line goes up. They are awesome!

I just did two orders. Total savings were around $465ish. I paid a couple bucks, got two $4 OYNO and about 6 $1 cats from Kraft. They were from the first order and it was all Wheat Thins and 3 Crystal Light. In the end, I am about $13 ahead, plus got:

4 gals of milk
2 free Raisin Bran
3# of mark down cheese
3 paks of smokies
2# of crab salad
and 4 paks of M&M's. I had to keep throwing them on to make it a positive balance.

I got 24 Wheat Thins
24 Dogs
11 Crystal light
7 dressing
some Kraft Singles
6 Olive Oil Mayo
1 KoolAid Single
10 free sugar
the koolAid


All the clerks were cheering me on and a lot of customers in other lines too. It was such a great high! I love my Albies and their employees! Even the clerk who hates Q's said she wanted to shop with me. There were two young ones just learning who bagged for me and checked me out. They were in total awe.

Thanks to all of you here who keeps us apprised of waz up with sales and Q's.

[lovinmylife]

Wow, MISS!!! You did really good! I am still learning and just started couponing in Oct 2007. My Albies is really nice to couponers and they think that free is great but they do NOT do overage. You win some you lose some.:shrug7:

I also updated my post with my Albies trip to include the q's that I used.

[miss]

Thanks! If we hadn't come home from our trip sooner than expected and if I hadn't found a bunch of those Q;s in CA, I would be pouting right now. Hang in there, you'll get your coupon stockpile and get it figured out soon. You'll be thinking you're low on something when you only have ten left, lol.

I've waited until the last day, but w/my disability, it's come to that...anyway, I was hoping someone w/a clearer head (I'm so confused...) could help get my scenario in order.

I didn't get the back page you all speak of, with the sugar thing, because my local albies is doing remodeling, and they have a special one, but it's on the online ad for the store I go to (burien)


My store will special order the qty for me. ;)

Also...If I scan my coupons BEFORE putting in my card, it gives me overage, as long as the regular price is higher than the coupon (powerade .69c..used 1/1 q's)

I've got:
66) hotdog
14) wheat thins
9) planters
7) dressing

I also have
2) 2/1 kens dressing
2) 2/1 kens spritzers
3) b10g5f powerade
15) 1/1 powerade

I also have 314 mom to mom q's that I'm hoping they'll let me special order that many travel size BB brand wipes. :) worth a shot!! lol


If anyone can give me a "shopping list" of sorts, i'd greatly appreciate it. DH will most likely take me in the afternoon. We'll probably get up around 1-2, considering it's 2 am and ds2 is not asleep yet...

TIA!!
