Albertsons deals 10/21 – 10/27

Who's wondering what's on sale at Albertsons?

Well…it appears, not much. So the good news for me is I don't have to spend 2+ hours preparing my weekly Albertsons post this week! Yahoo! I'll get to watch Top Chef from the beginning!

After a couple weeks of steady Albertsons promotions, it'll be nice to take a break. After all, you all have your pantries nice and stocked, right?

I can tell you that I've heard rumors that there WILL BE DOUBLERS in the Sunday paper, along with a few great store coupons this weekend. I can't promise every region will get these, but I have noted my favorite uses for the doubler coupons below.

ConAgra is a major food manufacturer known for brands such as Hunt's and Chef Boyardee. This week, their products fill the back page of the Albertsons ad. Please note that this does not appear to be any sort of mix and match promotion where you must buy a certain amount to get the sale price. In other words, you could buy 1 bottle of ketchup for $1. No need to buy 10 of them or come up with overly-complicated shopping plans.  

Crunch n' Munch $1
$1/2 coupon from 9/20 SmartSource
Bottom line: $0.50 each
If doubler: both FREE

Hunt's Tomatoes $1
$0.50/2 printable coupon
Bottom line: $0.75 each
If doubler: $0.50 each

There are a number of additional items priced at $1 this week. I was unable to find coupons in my own stash, but thought I'd share some highlights from the list. You may have coupons in your stash. Otherwise, these may be decent prices if you need these items. However, I'd caution you from stocking up on any of these as better deals are likely to be found.

Hunt's Ketchup
Swiss Miss Cocoa
Hunt's Snack Pack Pudding
Chef Boyardee Microwave Meals
Ro-Tel Tomatoes
Hunt's Manwich
Healthy Choice Soup

A few other ConAgra sales/matchups:

Hebrew National Hot Dogs $2.50
(I imagine hot dog promotions will start to die down quickly with rise to the baking/holiday season. This price may be hard to beat in weeks to come.)

Marie Callendar's Pasta Al Dente $2.50
$0.75/1 printable coupon
Bottom line: $1.75
If doubler: $1
(These are good!)

Quilted Northern (12 double rolls or 9 big rolls) $5.49
$1/1 coupon from 10/11 Red Plum
Bottom line: $4.49
If doubler: $3.49

*DEAL IDEA*
Buy 3 Quilted Northern: $16.47
Use (3) $1/1 coupons
Use (3) doubler coupons
Pay: $10.47

Then, submit for this $5 rebate
Bottom line: $5.47 for 36 double rolls ($0.15/roll!!!)
