Albertsons Spent $26 Saved $53!

My goal is to spend $50 a week on groceries for our family of 4.  This week I still had $22 left when I went to Albies but I messed up on a few coupons...oops but that happens so I went over a bit...still some AWESOME Deals this week!:

  On sale for $1.69 had .50/1 coupon (Smartsource 11-13-11) which doubled so total price .69.



  This was 2/$3 had $1.00 off coupon on 2 (Smartsource 11-6-11)= $1.00 each bought 2 packages total $2.00 for 2




Excellent Sale on Lays only $1.99 each from $4.29 (original price kinda high but good sale for $1.99)...bought 3 -no coupon!




  Sale $2.00 had 2 coupons $1.00/2 Nabisco Crackers..bought 4 (3 Wheat Thins and One Triscuit) $8.00 less $2 in coupons $6 so $1.50 each!




Here is one of the ones I messed up on!  These were on sale $1.00 each, I had $1.00 coupon..bought 3 so thought they'd be free..but coupon was $1.00/2 (Redplum 9-25-11)  so I paid $2.00 or .67 each...uggh...not bad but normally wouldn't buy these...




Bought 3 $1.00 each...had 3 $1.00/1 printable coupons so they were FREE!  **Forgot where I got the coupons! Maybe the Arrowhead website?




The only bread my son will eat!  On sale $1.99 from $3.99! No coupon.




$1.00 each no coupon ...bought 2.  Did not see any good prices on the 12 or 24 packs of water this week!




Old Orchard Juice on Sale $1.49! Great Deal to Start...had 3 printable coupons from the Old Orchard Website for $2.00/1!  Now you would think I would have an overage but cashier didn't do that so got $1.49 off two so FREE and only would take $1.00 off the 3rd one...so got all 3 for $.49 so .17 each!  I did not argue since it was a great deal!




Sale $2.00 no coupon..picked up 1 of these.




Love these...sale $3.00 from $4.29..thought I had a coupon (Smartsouce 10-16-11 .50/1 would double to $1.00) but couldn't find it...grrrr...so still good deal for 12 burritos = .25/ea


  Sale $1.67! Picked up only 1 since the kids will be on Christmas break here soon and have to stay within my $50 budget.





   Sale $2.88 from $5.99 for 5 lb box! Plus had coupon $.55 (Smartsource 12-4-11) off double to $1.00 so got 5 lb box for $1.88! 

IN TOTAL spent $26.57 Saved $53.06 with coupons and sales! Yay! Happy Shopping!
