Fab FruGAL Shopping Trip

Can I just say that we LOVE Katie of Mt Home! 
She tipped us off about the Just Chill Deal!

Take a look at what she did at Albertsons this week:



I have definately been enjoying the multiple deals this week! I combined the three promos so I could reach $100 as I had a $10 off $100 coupon. Man it is a lot of work to spend $100. I don't do it very often. 


This is what I got today:
6 - boxes of Puffs tissue (.25/3 x2)
2 - bottles of Pantene ($2/2)
2- Frebreez Air effects ($1/1 x2)
9- Old orchard juice concentrate ($1/4 x2)
2- packages of oreos (bogo w/milk)
1-Gallon of milk
6-boxes of toaster strudels ($1/1 x6)
9- Kettle corn popcorn ($1/2 x4, $1/1)
1- 4lb sugar
1- 48oz Canola Oil ($1/1)
3 - 4pk Activia yogert ($1/1 x3)
1 - 6pk Danonino yogert ($1/1)
2- Goldfish crackers (.75/1 x2)
5- boxes of fruit snacks (.50/2 x2)
1- box of Hot Pocket Side Shots (.75/1)
1- Swiffer Duster Starter kit
1-Swiffer Duster Refill (free with starter kit)
Besides the coupons I listed above I Used $10off $100, $13.50 in catalinas, $3 in doubles and a $2 off survey (I love those surveys)

Total: $41.31 (saved $119.39) Recieved $33.50 in Catalinas for next trip.

I love how she figured out how to use the save $10 on $100 by combining all three promos. Way to go girl!
Her final price after factoring in the catalinas is only $7.81! Wow she rocked  this sale!

WOW! Way to go! I am curious... which promo are the goldfish in?

How is she able to use the $10 off $100 catalina? I tried to use a $4 off $40 the other day, the cashier held onto it until scanning all the other coupons and then wouldn't let me use it because the total after coupons was under $40.

I have trouble even getting up to $40 now -- don't know how I'd ever get to $100. :-)

The catelina's fine print says "redeem after manuf. and store coupons" but some cashiers will hold on to them till the very end. Just depends on the cashier/store.

Now that there is NO JUICE to be found, what is the best way to take advantage of the sale. I have lots of coupons and lots of doublers, I just don't know the best scenario!!! Please Help!

Mt Home cashiers are generally very coupon friendly! I was there when Katie made her purchases and her cashier immediately went to tell her co-workers of Katie's savings in an amazed voice! Unfortunately, 3 of my cats didn't print and I spent an extra hour sorting it out with them while my kids ran circles around everyone in sight.

Great point ladies! I forgot that those coupons do say after all other coupons and so YMMV!

It takes a really great deal to impress me these days and this is AWESOME! I have a $4 off $40, I bet I could get it to work at my store. Nice job, Katie!

I'm just envious you have an Albertson's that actually has the items in stock. But, gee, I guess I can drive the 2-hour roundtrip again in a couple of days and see if I can beat the greedy hoarders. Some days this stuff just isn't worth it.

Thanks for the shout out! I am as happy with that as if I was one of the winners of the extra doubles. I enjoy couponing a lot :)

When I got the $10 off $100 coupon I went to customer service and asked exactly how I could use it. They said use it before any other coupons but after they scanned my Albie card. $100 is before tax.

The gold fish were not in one of the promos. I just had a good coupon for them and I needed help getting up to $100.

I placed an order for more juice and that is coming on Sat.

Did you have a bad day? :( Sorry your store has hoarders.
