Weird the way they ring up, the only taxable item I had was one Capri Sun, marked on my receipt as 'B' which must mean taxable, everything else was 'F' which I assume means food (no tax here on most food). One of the $5 Epic Savings shows as 'B' and one as 'F' and my tax is a negative number...

I went back tonight and discovered that I am in LOVE with my local Albertson's. I used to go there every once in awhile, but until last doubles, I hadn't gone there in forever.

Anyway, earlier I had a problem with not getting one of my $5 off credits for the M&M. I went in, told the lady that I had bought 40 items and had only gotten $15 off. The manager was right there... she didn't even look at the receipt, just took my word on it and handed me $5 cash. I told her that the bonus Pop Tarts might not be part of the deal & asked if she wanted me to exchange them for the regular size, but she said everything was fine.

Then, I rounded up all my stuff and went up to pay. The cashier was great. He asked the manager if there was a limit on MQs. She said no, but just 2 like IPs per transaction, because that is how many people can legitimately print. The cashier asked if there was any tuna left. I thought he was wondering if I had cleared the shelves. I said, "No, there is a lot left." Turns out he just wanted to know if there was an empty display that he could take down.

I got...

60 pouches of tuna x $1.25 = $75
18 boxes of Taco Bell shells x $1.00 = $18
2 boxes TLC Cereal Bars x $2.99 = $5.98
John Morell Pork = $2.98
John Morell Pork = $2.81
John Morell Pork = $2.62
John Morell Pork = $2.36
2 John Morell Sausage x $1.50 = $3.00

So, between my 2 trips today I got...
90 pouches of tuna, 18 taco shells, 2 boxes Kashi bars, 2 sausage packs, 4.5 pounds of pork loin, 1 box of Poptarts, 3 boxes of cereal, 2 Mac n Cheese cups, 2 Crystal Light to Go, & 2 Jack Daniel's BBQ sauces for... $6.63!!!

My cashier called the manager over to brag about how well I'd done. She honestly seemed thrilled. I said, "I'm seriously going to come here every day now." She laughed and went out of her way to thank me, several times. This is the only time I've ever gone to a grocery store, used coupons, and felt like I was treated as a valued customer.

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for listening! I came home all excited and my DH was like, "Cool."

Jesuisprecieux ROCKS!

Thanks so much- I found the coupons and am now one happy tuna lady. For those having troubles finding the coupons, check the overstock/special sales areas.

This store even had a sign proclaiming what a great deal this was. They said buy 10 @ 1.25 each for 12.50, then use 3 of the $1.50/3 coupons and get the $5 M&M savings to get 10 for $3. They almost got it right!

[IBuyWayTooMuch]

I love HCW I would never know about the sales matching up w/certain coupons or where to print them or find them instore and the catalinas. TY

60 pouches of tuna, and I had none for a couple weeks!
6 bags of cereal
20 boxes of taco shells .. which is soo many I'll be sharing w/family!

In 2 transactions so I used the doublers twice, a little bit of mess up on my coupons by the cashier once in my favor and once in theirs. After counting my OYNO it cost somewhere around $2.60 wow!

[MommmieD]

I'm not seeing Koolaid Qs there now. :sad: You might want to double check the expiration dates just in case because all of the Kraft coupons I printed during that time are expired but maybe you printed later than I did.

I used the ones from the Kraft website already...coupons.com had identical ones that appeared about two weeks later. My Kool-Aid Qs expire on the 28th of this month.

Last night I got a few things.

30 pouches of tuna (used tearpad)
10 bags of Precious string cheese/cheese sticks (used $2.00 peelie)
10 boxes of taco shells (used peelie)
30 kraft easy mac (there was $0.55/2 tearpad right there in store)
100 kool-aid and 10 bags of brown sugar (used $2.00 off sugar WYB 10 Kool-aid insert coupon and a raincheck I had for brown sugar 10 for $10 (I have more rainchecks, will be getting more!)

I spent $59.40 and saved $224.60 and ended up with $5.00 in OYNO Catalina.

I totally forgot to use my wimpy $2.00 in doubles. :shrug7:

The produce and string cheese were my biggest expences though. But the cheese freezes for school lunches and we got eat our fresh fruits and veggies!

I have a whole list of things I am going to get on my next trip...lots of good stuff is on sale this week that I actually need or am low on.

With all of this tuna everyone is getting, you might be interested to know that Tuna Helper is on sale 10/10. I found a peelie on one of the boxes for $1/3 and doubled it making the Tuna helper $.33 each.

If you can't find a peelie, the MQ is $.75/3, doubled makes it $.50 each.

There is also a printable for $.80/3 which is just a wee bit better.

This also includes hamburger helper and chicken helper.

I don't think I posted this before but I bought them last night. Good deal for a treat for DH!
2x starbucks frapp drinks (single bottle) $2.39 ea
-2x $1.00/1 starbucks from last sundays SS
- 2x doublers
=.78 for 2 bottles.

[hotcouponmama]

Awesome deal...thanks. You are lucky they let you double. My store wont let us double anything over $1. Even at that without the double it is still a way good deal. I ordered two cases from my store, it should be in Friday,do you think they will let me do it all in one purchase?

If you have the coupons, I don't see why not. Let's hope the cases you're buying have coupons tucked in them as well.
