Well, if you remember a lot of these Catalina deals that are done at Albertsons are soooo much fun, especially when they are like this one and you have to get up to $25, then get your Catalina back!
Okay, here's the deal. The ConAgra deal is when you spend $25 you get a $10 Catalina back, but here is the cool part.....For us, here in the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene area (or any other area with the newer register/computer Albertsons system), it is based off of the shelf price/regular price! You know what that means?! Well, my friends, it means......FREE/CHEAP stuff!!!! So, you may ask,...."well....how do I know if my Albertsons in on the newer system?" Well, I'm gonna show you... I have scanned one of my receipts for you to take a look at. If your receipt does NOT look like this, then your Albertsons is not on the newer system. :(

Now, there are coupons out there for $1/2 Healthy Choice Soups, but we did not get them. If you want to order them, they have them here for $0.08 each! These come from Texas and usually take a couple of days to get here, to Spokane.
So, here are a few scenarios to get you started...
Here is an example to get started with for the least amount of money out of pocket...
Healthy Choice Soup X9 $1 each (regular price of $2.99) (There are 100 points attached to the soup). (You see the regular price is $2.99. Multiply that by 9, and you get $26.91, which means you hit your $25 mark, but REALLY your total is ONLY $9 'cause it is on sale for $1, and now you are gettin' a Catalina after you pay). Make sense? I know it is kinda confusing.
= $9, THEN get back a $10 Catalina and START ROLLIN.....
(** Keep in mind that if you have $5 Rewards from reaching 5,000 points or even Catalinas from previous purchases that this can make your initial out of pocket costs even LOWER)
Chef Boyardee, $1 (regular price $1.39 for the little microwave bowls and ranges from $1.49 to $1.79 for the cans) (also there are 40 points attached to the little bowls and either 50 or 100 to the cans depending on what you pick)

** Keep in mind that YMMV for different areas. These are just the prices at my local store. The prices at your store may vary.
** Here are a few rules...
-Albertsons has said they will NOT do special orders for this promo.
-You can ONLY do three transactions in a row and then you have to go take your stuff to your car, and then come back in, if you want to do more.
-Play nice. It is going to be CrAzY busy in there this week, so just remember to be patient.
-Just a friendly reminder....."know your stopping point." I know that this is an AWESOME deal and sometimes we tend to get caught up in what we can get for FREE and can keep going, and going, and going.....(I've been there. I know). :O
**Not included in the promo this time, for sure, like last time are:
Sparkle Paper Towels
Angel Soft Bath Tissue
Oriville Redenbacher
Pillsbury products
I would love to hear of your AWESOME shops! Please share. Send me a picture and I'll post it too!
