Albertsons 07-08-09

I hadn't really gone shopping since the last trip I posted about. I mean I did, but I went to Harmon's with NO COUPONS and spent way too much, so nothing to boast about. Albertsons has some really good deals this week. I'm just going to list what I got and the savings because it takes too long to list the coupons and stuff.....

Transaction #1
It turned out I had a blonde moment and the WHOLE point of doing two transactions was to get the coupons for $X off your next purchase, BUT I bought the WRONG things to do that! My bad so I didn't need to break it up but I did.

4 Pks of Lindsay Snaker Olives (it's 4 small cans in each pack)
2 Sm Boxes of Honey Nut Cherrios
2 Sm Boxes of Multi Grain Cherrios
4 BIG Boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
2 BIG Boxes of Reese's Puffs
2 Dial Foaming Hand Wash

Total$71.04
Preferred Card Savings $42.64
Coupons $8.80

Out of Pocket $19.60 + .95 Tax = $20.55
Total Savings 71%

Plus I received 2 coupons for a Free Gallon of Milk & 1 Redbox Code and a coupon for $2 off any 5 General Mills Cereals

Transaction #2
So I'm blonde and I can't count. Part of the Savings was buy 10 of a list of items get $5 off or 50 cents an item. Stupid me bought 17 so instead of $10 off, I only got $5 off and then about $4.50 in coupons wouldn't scan and I was forming a line so I didn't mess with it.

2 Bags of Sunchips (the coupon didn't scan :(
6 pk of Viva Paper towels
12 pk of Cottenelle Toilet Paper
1 Sara Lee Bread
4 Kraft Mac N Cheese (The small instant cups)
4 Boxes Gushers
3 Different Boxes of Granola Bars--But the Kraft Fiber Ones :)
4 Lg Boxes Cinnamon Toast Crunch
2 Lg Boxes of Reeses
2 Lg Boxes of Lucky Charms
1 box Hefty Trash Bags

Total Before Coupons $248.82

Total after coupons $110.41 + 5.07 tax
Total Savings 56%--I bought a few things without coupons cuz we needed toilet paper, paper towels, black trash bags and bread.

I received 3 coupons for a free gallon of milk, a $2/5 General Mills Cereal and 2 Redbox codes :) AND a $2.50 off next shopping trip :)

Total of all shopping $319.86
Total after coupons $130.96

Total Savings of WHOLE shopping trip 59%. Not too bad for such a HUGE shopping trip and with about $4.50 in coupons not working and me not being able to add so losing out on another $5 off :)
