Albertson's is being sold

This just came out on KSL.com. There are 36 Utah Albertson's being sold to Associated Foods. The only stores not affected will be in St. George. I am so sad about this. We have all been benefiting from all the great deals at Albies. Associated Food doesn't participate in the Catalina program and they have higher shelf prices and really try and only promote the western family brand. This will take affect this fall so I guess we should all really get all the good deals we can and build up our food storage to full capacity until then. There will still be some good deals out there but I'm afraid it just won't be the same.

No More Red Plum?

Yep, it's true, the Red Plum insert is being taken out of the Utah papers. There are a lot of good coupons in there that we all use. Please go to PinchingYourPennies.com and go on the forum for this and there is a link you can complain. The more people who do this the more they will see how many people disagree with this decision.

Doubler Deals at Albies

There are more doublers that came in the mail yesterday (tues) on your Albertson's flyer. There are also some in your redplum insert that you would have gotten on Sunday. That makes for a lot of doublers to use this week at Albies. Here are some ideas on what to do as you can only use 3 per shopping trip:

2 super pretzels $2
($1/2 cpn from mailer)
1 Dannon yogurt $2
3 El Monterey Tornados $6
Minus cps, 5 dblrs (if your store let's you use all 5 at once)

Total $.15 that includes tax


4 Breyers pints $4
There's a cpn for $1/2 at coupons.com, use 2 of these
2 Dblrs
You'll get 4 pints free

Plus, a $4/5 Breyers cat prints...go back and get 5 more & only pay $1 for 9 pints of ice cream.

If anybody finds any more good ideas to use these dblrs please let me know and I will post them.
