Albertsons Transactions

I officially love Albertsons's!!! They have great deals and take all kinds of coupons! Coming either later today or tomorrow will be the first post in a series that I am calling Great Deal Hunting 101. I will share tips about how to get the best deals. The first will be about basics. Hope you will all tune in to the new series.

Anyways---on with the deals that I got this week. Technically, these deals are from last week. Albertson's runs their sales from Wednesday to Tuesday instead of the "normal" Sunday through Saturday. I will be posting links to this week's deals for Albertson's, Walgreens, and Rite Aid later today!

Transaction #1

Albertson's had a great deal last week where if you purchased $30 in participating items, you would get $15 in catalinas (coupons off your next Albertson's purchase). I had gone Saturday night and gotten my first $30 worth and so I already had $15 to spend on this this transaction.
