There are actually quite a few members here in San Diego County. Some post here on occasion, but the rest mostly just lurk.

Hi there! Nice to see you online again!

Today I went again and they were out of flyers. I asked an employee if I could get the $10 off turkey still. He said I had to have the coupon so I went to Customer Service. The manager was there and went into the manager's office and brought out some flyers. My flyer yesterday only had the turkey and an add for 10% off wine. Today's flyer had the $10 turkey plus Miracle Whip, sodas, and Orowheat bread. (BTW, note that the store coupon is for one Miracle Whip and my Manufactorer's q was for two)

So be sure to ask if you don't see any flyers. I wonder if they'll still honor the deal if they run out of flyers?

Yesterday I did the ice cream deal to help up my total purchase to $25 for the turkey deal so I received the $4 catalina to use on my next visit.

I returned today for the ice cream and turkey deals. However, I'm saving the $4 catalina for a future visit. If I'm reading the $10 coupon correctly, the $25 qualifying purchase is AFTER coupons thus the $4 catalina would be better spent at a later date (but before the short expiration of 12/09/09!).

Right?

Since I did the ice cream deal again today (I have a big freezer and birthdays coming up), I have two $4 catalinas to use at a future date.

That is how I read the $10 off the Turkey deal coupon too. I hope this doesn't become a habit of theirs as it is hard enough reaching the $25 minimum required before coupons during certain weeks. :shrug7:

Yes, as I specifically remember it being BEFORE coupons last time I did a deal at albies.

Yep and because of this, they lost all of my Turkey business this time around. Albertsons needs to loosen their coupon rules if they want to attract more customers into their stores, not tighten them.
