Albertsons Weekly Deals (3/26-4/1)

These deals will start on Wednesday, 3/26. My favorites are in red.

The CA$H IN YOUR QUARTERS sale will be happening again starting tomorrow!  I love this reoccuring sale for a few reasons: the Shoppers Value Burritos for $0.25 (I bought 105 of them last time!) and the cheap Yoplait Yorgurt cups (there are ALWAYS coupons for them).  There are more reasons, but those are the ones that jump out to me right this second.

Here are the QUARTERS deals:

25 cents

Essential Everyday String Cheese Stick (a single stick)
Shoppers Value Tomato Sauce, 8 oz
Betty Crocker Corn Muffin Mix, 6.5 oz
Maruchan Ramen Noodle Cup, 2.25 oz
Essential Everyday Seasoning and Gravy Mixes (this is a stock up price for me!)
Shoppers Value Burritos, 4 oz. (we love these... tip: they taste best when cooked in the oven)

$0.50 back on MILK!

Ibotta has been offering a milk deal for the past few weeks that I decided I might as well post about. It has been renewing weekly, so I always thought it would be gone soon so why blog about it?? Well it keeps coming back, so I guess I will spread the word!

In the Ibotta app, under Walmart or Walgreens, look for a rebate on any brand, one gallon, white milk. It will be for $0.50. Fulfill the "tasks" associated with the rebate and then redeem it to add $0.50 to your Ibotta account. You can only redeem the rebate once.  But, like I said, it has been reappearing every week, so you could potentially do it once a week until Ibotta decides to stop offering this deal. When you have reached a minimum of $5.00 then you can "cash out" in a variety of ways. To read more about Ibotta, go here.  

Milk is currently $2.28 at Walmart and $2.59 at Walgreens. 
Use the $0.50 rebate from Ibotta
Makes it: as low as $1.78 for one gallon.

Plus, there is a bonus associated with the milk rebate. If you redeem 2 other offers from any other store, restaurant, etc in the same week as the milk, you get another $0.50 back. 

For example, last night I went and bought the Fiber One Fruit Snacks for $1.50 after a coupon ($0.75 ibotta rebate) and the Cascadian Farms Organic Granola for $2.25 after a coupon ($1.00 ibotta rebate) and the a gallon of milk for $2.28 ($0.50 ibotta rebate). I spent $6.03 out of pocket on all three products and got some money back via Ibotta - $2.25 from the rebates and $0.50 from the additional bonus.



So, all three items actually only cost me $3.28!!

Note: some of these offers expire on the 28th.  The milk expires Sunday, 3/30 at midnight.

Cookies and Milk

Look at all I got for only $5.22 (and some tax) at Albertsons yesterday! They have a sale going on where you buy 3 packages of Oreos and get a gallon of milk (Shoppers Value brand) FREE!




Oreos are usually $2.50 (on sale) - $3.50 per package. This week they are only $1.99 each when you buy 3 packages.  PLUS, if you have a coveted .75/2 Oreo Packages coupon from the 2/9 Smart Source coupon insert, you can save even more. 

I bought 3 packages, used one coupon, and got the milk free. $1.99 x 3 - $0.75 = $5.22

Ebates - For You Online Shoppers

Heard of Ebates? I was referred to it by a friend a couple of years ago. I don't shop online all that often, but when I do, I first check Ebates to see if there are any cash back offers from the store that I will be shopping from.  The cash back amounts range from 1% up to 20% or even more.

If the store you are shopping from is supported by Ebates, just click the link and shop! Once you reach a minimum of $5.00 then you will receive a "Big Fat Payment" in the form of a check mailed to you. I believe they send them out quarterly.

I post this mostly because I noticed that several tax preparing sites (including TurboTax and H&R Block) are partnered with Ebates and offering cash back on tax prep services.  I though you may want to check it out!!

Almay Coupon Still Available = Practically Free Makeup at Walgreens!!!

I will start by saying that I haven't been to Walgreens yet this week to see what is in stock. BUT, there is currently a HOT deal on Almay makeup that can be stacked with both a Walgreens coupon and a manufacturer coupon, which result in almost completely free makeup (depending on what you buy).

The deal goes as follows:

Almay Makeup: Buy one get one 50% off (with your balance rewards card)
Coupons:
The manufacturer coupon is 5$/2 Almay products and is still available to print at here, if you haven't already. 
The store coupon is $2/1 Almay product and is found in the March savings booklet (on page 24). It is usually found right as you walk in by the weekly ads or somewhere around the cash register.

Note: Walgreens does not allow coupon overages, meaning your coupon can't take off more than the item costs. They will have to adjust the value of the coupon down and you will still have to pay tax.  I have found that if you go to the beauty counter for the transaction then everyone (you, the cashier, and the people that would have to wait behind you in line) is happier. 

Here are a couple of example scenarios:

Buy 2 Almay Liquid Lip Balm, $5.79 each
Get 50% off the second - so $8.69 for both
Coupons:
$5.00/2 Almay Makeup Products printable (coupons.com)
$2.00/1 Almay Makeup Products Walgreens coupon (Walgreens March savings booklet, p. 24) - after scanned it will deduct $2 off of each product (so $4 in this case)
The manufacturer coupon will have to be adjusted down (to around $4.68 I believe) and you will have to pay tax, but that still makes it nearly FREE

Buy 2 Almay Shadow Softies Single Eye Shadows, $4.99 each
Get 50% off the second - so $7.48 for both
Coupons: 
$5.00/2 Almay Makeup Products printable (coupons.com)
$2.00/1 Almay Makeup Products Walgreens coupon (Walgreens March savings booklet, p. 24) - after scanned it will deduct $2 off of each product (so $4 in this case)
The manufacturer coupon will have to be adjusted down (to around $3.48 I believe) and you will have to pay tax, but that still makes it nearly FREE

I don't know what is still in stock, but print the coupons and hurry over for some amazingly, almost entirely free makeup!! (I also think that Walgreens does rainchecks if what you want isn't in stock, but I don't know exactly because I haven't done it yet)

- Thanks Talia for the heads up about this deal :)

Every day you can check the website (or sign up for emails) to see what the unique daily deal is.  There are different deals for Rexburg, Rigby, and Idaho Falls eateries. There is no need for printing out coupons, or giving credit card info, simply go and say that you'd like the dealio. If you are headed out to grab a bite, check this site first and you could save a buck and discover somewhere new and delicious!

Broulim's Weekly Deals (3/5-3/11)

This week Broulim's is finishing up it's case lot sale. I will be the first to admit that I don't have much experience with this. Being the poor college student's wife that I am, I never have that much money to spend all at once (or that much space to store it in) to "stock up" for later. It works for some people though, and if you are one of them, congrats! You can save a lot of money on things like meat, which you don't normally have coupons for.
Fortunately there are still some good prices available without having to buy 50 cans of tomato soup or 40 pounds of chicken breast.

That said, these are the deals that jumped out to me... there aren't that many coupon-friendly ones this week.

Grocery

Western Family Peanut Butter, 18 oz. - $1.67 (advertised as 3 for $5)
also available in a case of 12

ShurSaving Mandarin Oranges, 11 oz. - 3/$1
also available in a case of 24

Campbell's Cream of Chicken or Mushroom, 10.75 oz - .79 each
also available in a case of 24
coupon:
.40/2 Campbell's Condensed soups (excluding chicken noodle, tomato, or cream of mushroom) - (SS 2/9, exp. 4/6)
Makes it: .59 each when you buy 2


Western Family Canned Vegetables - .50 each (advertised as 2/$1)

ShurSaving Tomato Sauce, 8 oz - .20 each (advertised as 5/$1)

Hunt's Pasta Sauce, 24 oz - .88 each
available in a case of 12

Western Family Mac & Cheese - .39 a box
also available in a case of 24 (I will definitely be taking advantage of this one! My son LOVES macaroni)

Western Family Seasoning Packets - .33 each

Western Family Refried Beans - .59 each

Bar-S Hotdogs - .79 each 

Chicken Breast - $1.59/lb ONLY IF you buy the 40 lb case, so $63.60, otherwise you will pay $1.89/lb which is also a good price





Are You A 007 Fan?

UPDATE: the price has jumped, as it always does :(

I just saw that the DVD Skyfall 007 is only $3.00 right now on Amazon! If you want the Blue Ray combo pack, it is only $11.95! The button below says $11, but when you click it shows that it is actually only $3.

I have learned the hard way (it is a sad story) that Amazon prices change at the drop of the hat, so if you want this do not think too long!! :)
