Here are the best deals I could find for the week in-progress at Albertsons.

There is a gift card promotion this week at Albertsons, but I’m not over-the-moon about it. However, I know many of you like to follow these offers as they come, so here are the specifics:

The retailers pictured on the ad include SpaFinder, Applebee’s, Bass Pro Shops, Kohl’s, Chili’s, Sears, and iTunes. See store for details.

Spend $15, Save $5

Spend $15 in participating products and receive a $5 coupon good on your next shopping order. The fine print reads “minimum purchase requirement calculated after manufacturer’s coupons redeemed.” This means your total should technically be at $15 AFTER all manufacturer’s coupons to qualify for the $5 Catalina. I know some of you have said you’ve had luck getting the $5 Catalina even if your coupons bring your total under that threshhold, but I personally wouldn’t chance it. Your mileage may vary.

Please read my post on how Catalina coupons work if you are unfamiliar with this type of promotion.

Here is a scenario from the above list worth considering:

Buy (3) Snapple = $15
Receive a $5 Catalina coupon at checkout
Like paying $10 for 3 6-packs, or $3.33 each
(That’s a pretty strong deal for Snapple!)
