Albertsons GREAT ConAgra Sale STARTS TOMORROW, 2/9/11

Do you remember the last ConAgra sale at Albertsons? I sure do. IT WAS C-R-A-Z-Y!!! So MANY cheap/FREE items! Well, it looks like this round is pretty darn good too! The Coupon Posse and I have been working hard at putting together these matchups with the "right" coupons to get the best value for your money. :) Boy, it WAS crazy, but soooo much fun!

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. :(

You can click on the image to enlarge it. :)

The ticket to getting such AWESOME deals is the Healthy Choice Soup!! It is on sale for $1 and normally $2.99.  So, you will notice that just about every scenario has soup.

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)

-Play nice. It is going to be CrAzY busy in there this week, so just remember to be patient.
