FREE meat and veggies

Before Sales, discounts or coupons this would have cost $54.37
I was able to get it for $3.00

IMG_1464I got a call from my friend today who just started to use coupons.  She was so excited about a deal the manager told her about at Albertsons, so of course I had to run in and get in on this great deal too.  The Kraft Salad dressing is part of the epic promo it is $2.00 each but when you buy 10 you get $5.00 off instantly, making them $1.50 each.  My store manager had coupon for $1.50 off one making them totally FREE.  But here is the great part he also had coupons that gave you free meat and free produce when you bought Kraft Salad dressing……Even I was totally in shock at how good this deal was.  The corn was so good we had it tonight for dinner.  I was able to buy $16.00 worth of London Broil, on the buy one get one free promo and then get it totally free with coupons.  Holy cow this is a Thrifty deal!  I guess he has been handing these coupons out the last two days.  But he only has a few left.

But he does have some other really good deals these are for the Caldwell Statium store:

I have $1.00 coupons for Smores products. When you buy one Honey maid Graham Cracker for $3.00 and one Hershey’s chocolate 6 pack for $3.00 and one jet puffed marshmallow 16 oz. bag for $1.00 you get $3.00 off at the register. This makes it for the 3 items only $4.00. Now I have an extra $1.00 off so you can get all 3 items for $3.00. I have also see coupons on some of these items to make it cheaper. I think they are printable.

I was also able to get in a bunch of the starkist tuna pouches. They are still part of the epic event. This is a great deal, especially if you have the save $1.50 when you buy 3 coupons.

In our ad there are coupons for snack crackers for $1.88. Then we have crystal light (which is part of the buy 10 save 5 event) for $2.99 when you buy 10 participating items. When you buy one wheat thin and one crystal light I have some coupons for save $2.00. This will make it $2.87 for both items. Then if you buy 2 of each I have a coupon that will give you a free 24 pack water up to $4.00. This is a great buy. Then I have save $1.00 off coupon when you buy 2 crystal lights and one water. If I have done my math right you can get 2 crystal light (if you use this as part of the epic event), 2 Nabisco snack crackers, and a 24 pack water for under $5.00. Stop by and take advantage of this.

I also have some ball park hotdog coupons which are save $1.00 when you buy 1 ball park hotdog package and one Sara Lee bun. If you use this toward the promotion of buy 1 get 2 free ball park hotdogs, all you need to buy is one ball park and then you get 2 free and then buy 3 Sara lee buns. This is the best deal because I do have coupons that will give you $3.00 off any whole watermelon when you buy any ball park frank and any Sara lee buns. The total you will be paying is $8.79 and then you get $9.00 worth of free watermelon.

Then the last great one I have is Chips ahoy and Capri Sun are both part of the Epic event when you buy 10 save $5.00 at register. When you purchase 10 of these I have a coupon that will give you an extra $2.00 off when you buy 1 chips ahoy and 1 Capri sun. This will make the chips ahoy only $1.49 each and Capri Sun only .33 each. This is a great deal and remember you have to buy 10 participating items to make this deal work.

The coupons I have are limited so it is first come first served

I think you are lucky to have an Albertson’s that is stocked with so many extra coupon deals. You often times have peelies that our Albertsons doesn’t have. I am in SLC, UT and I check both Albertson stores near me for the coupons you come across and they don’t have them. What can I do to get my Albertson’s to provide those coupons?

Amy my store gets them from the products reps….they know that they are coupon friendly and are happy to offer them coupons. Some stores get them but feel they are a hassle so they do not even put them out. It really comes down to the management at your store

What an awesome store manager!!! He is SO smart, saving all us thrifty mom’s money and making more sales at his store!

Tasha July 6, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Are these the save $2 on meat wyb Kraft dressing and 2 other Kraft items? If so, did you consider the other Kraft dressings as your “other” item? I got these coupons in Washington state today but am trying to figure out how to best use them.

Tyree July 3, 2009 at 10:10 pm

Also how did you get the FREE veggies??? Our coupon only said meat. I would love some free veggies. Let me know how you got those please :)

Tyee I had coupons for the free produce when you bought the salad dressing…..they were a tear pad at the store…they are gone now…the manager gave them all out

Tyree July 3, 2009 at 10:08 pm

My store had no $1.50 off coupons :( But I had three $1.00 off and a couple BBQ coupons so it still worked out a pretty good deal. I got like nine bottles of BBQ 3 salad dressing 18 mac and chesse (used buy 3 get 1 free) and 2 packs of steaks, 1 four pack of BIG hamburgers, and three hormel pork tenderlions (used 3 $1 off coupons.) ALL FOR $7 (I had to do three transactions to get all the $2 catalinas for the Mac and Cheese, and used these towards the deal.) Plus all my meat had managers $2 of coupons on them (sell by th 4th or 5th–all but the hamburgers ended up being in great condition-the burgers smelled a little old :( Anyway, wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!! I never could have got such a great deal if you hadn’t shared your info on your blog. I’m a fairly new follower, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog. THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!!!!

wow i wonder if my meridian store has any of the free meat coupons-i’d love to get some.

Lindy July 3, 2009 at 10:55 am

I was just in the Stadium Albertsons and Jared was out of the Kraft dressing coups. Oh well, I got my Mac & Cheese!

Michelle July 3, 2009 at 10:24 am

When you say that the manager has these coupons, does that mean you track down a manager and ask if he/she has any hidden coupons, or are these on tear pads at the product? Do you have to have a personal relationship with the manager to get these coupons?

A Thrifty Mom July 3, 2009 at 12:20 pm

At my local store he is normal around the front of the store and tells everyone about the good deals….weather he knows you or not….just a super friendly guy wanting to make sure all his shoppers get a great deal

Nessa July 3, 2009 at 10:03 am

Hi! Just have a question about the epic promo and the sale on salad dressings: you mentioned that with the epic promo the price of your salad dressings went down to $ 1.50 each and then the store manager had a “$ 1.50 off one” coupon and that made them free. Can you use the ” $1.50 off one” for more than one bottle of salad dressing in each purchase? Don’t those have a limit?

Just trying to figure out the ins-and-outs of couponing ;)

A Thrifty Mom July 3, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Nessa one coupon will work for 1 bottle….I had 10 coupons so I bought 10 bottles

shannon grogan July 3, 2009 at 10:01 am

Hi! I went to Albertsons today shortly after I left my first comment. I didnt even have to ask for a manager at the Stadium Alberton’s..they came up to me and asked if I needed anything and if I was in need of coupons! WOW! What a great store! I will always go to the Stadium Albertsons! Thanks!!

Helen in Meridian July 3, 2009 at 9:43 am

The Skippy Natural (brown lid) peanut butters are the hot deal, too. For each 2 you buy, a $1 catalina prints. Also when they scan 2 or 3 (forget which), a coupon for $1/2 Skippy Natural peanut butter prints. That meant that 2nd set of 6 with coupon from front of ad makes $6 – $3 catalinas and $1 mfg coupon catalina makes $2 plus tax for 6 jars.

A Thrifty Mom July 3, 2009 at 12:55 pm

Thanks Helen I will make a post on this….what a great buy!

LaceyLady July 3, 2009 at 8:04 am

So when you buy all 3 smores items you get $3 off instantly w/o coupons??

A Thrifty Mom July 3, 2009 at 12:25 pm

LaseyLady yes it will come off instant

shannon grogan July 3, 2009 at 7:32 am

Hi! I am a new reader..love the blog!! And I also now live in Caldwell. I am interested if you have anymore coupons…but I think I am too late. lol How do you get these coupons from the store managers? Thanks for all your help! I love the blog!

Thanks! Shannon

Sheri July 3, 2009 at 7:26 am

How do you know about the coupons the manager has? Do you just find the manager and ask if they have any coupons?

A Thrifty Mom July 3, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Sheri…..he offers them to everyone or jsut find him and ask what he has for the day
