42 bottles of BBQ Sauce later . . .

So today I was able to do most of my transactions. I probably have another 6 or 7 to do. The thing that's holding me up is the fact that the Albie's ad had a spend $15 get a $5 Catalina, however, the toilet paper I got didn't give me a CAT. There are NO signs up to say which products are included and the ad only says that SCOTT products are part of the promotion. I am going to be calling Catalina and finding out what they can tell me. If the ones I bought for sure aren't a part of the promotion, I will call Albertson's and complain. The ad doesn't say anything about 'Select Varieties' or specific products, so therefore it's very misleading. Okay, enough of that. Here's what I was able to get today:

Not too bad for my first month, I guess. We'll see how things go tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get some sort of re-imbursement for the SCOTT deal. If not, I'll be doing more transactions with fewer 4pks of TP to use up the coupons I have left. I also have more Bagel-fuls to get. I'm going to work for a REALLY low oop for my second Safeway run.
