Deal Alert

As you know (or not) January is the annual Quaker promo at Albertsons. When I got my grocery ad yesterday I was;

1. Happy to see the promo!!
2. Disappointed the prices weren't as good as last year
3. Happy that there is a catalina starting on Friday!

This is a stock up deal on Oatmeal. If you check the ad you will see pictured the items participating in the Quaker promo.

5 boxes of oatmeal = 12.50
less instant discount -3.00
less mfr Q (5) $1
cost for 5 boxes = 4.50

But wait!!


Catalina Offer

Purchase any Quaker Oatmeal Products between 1/21-2/18 receive up to $3 on your next purchase:
buy 3, receive $1 OYNO
buy 4, receive $2 OYNO
buy 5, receive $3 OYNO

Purchase 5 boxes for $4.50 get $3 catalina back. Remember, that catalina can be used to buy anything in Albertsons...such as..hmmm. More Oatmeal!


So, buy another 5 boxes of oatmeal, less mfr coupons and instant savings. Then when you go to pay the $4.50, use your catalina for $3 of it and pay only $1.50. then you get another $3 catalina! I usually do this until I run out of coupons. For a list of available coupons check the data base at afullcup.com. I purchased 20 on ebay.

With NO COUPONS this is still only about $1 box, only .30 each with coupons.

by Friday we should know if we will get double coupons for Albertson which will make this deal all the sweeter.

With my last catalina I think I will buys some of the Aunt Jemima syrup :)
