So I went to use my doubler at Albertsons today. I am making salsa chicken for dinner so I was going to pick up some canned refried beans and sour cream.

16 ounces Daisy sour cream $2.99
Large can refried beans $2.99

I did get the sour cream but I decided to cook up the bags of beans I had in the pantry.

Here are a few other prices I saw:
Barilla pasta $2.19 (I paid .50 after coupon, sale, doublers)
Olive Oil (16 ounces) $9.39 (I paid $2.99 after sale + coupons)
Food Should Taste Good Chips (small bag $3.59, I paid .50 after sale + coupons)

Eggs were the big sale here too this week and last. I'm a bit egged out. LOL!

I've made bread omelettes, scrambled eggs, egg sandwiches, breakfast egg burritos with refried beans, hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs...Hmmm....I haven't made pickled eggs. I guess that next. :)

Eggs belong in the frig or the freezer to be safe.

Here's the link to do more reading....eggs tested......
How To Store Fresh Eggs



Thanks for posting...:) Do you wash your eggs if they have some poop on them right away? I don't wash mine until I'm ready to use them..I also have no idea how long they store for w/out being refridgerated as I store my eggs in recycled egg cartons and have them on my counter..when I need to use one I do the water test to see if they are still good..

I stopped at Fred Meyer today to pick up some fresh produce.

Anyhooo.... I was in the organic isle cruisin for any deals and there was Amy's pasta sauce for $7.59. For a regular size jar of pasta sauce :eek: :eek: I had to do a double take thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me.

For that price, you'd expect the sauce to jump out of the jar and make dinner for you. That is INSANE.

1.25 lbs fresh catfish nuggets (1.99lb)

That chicken at $1.39 a lb? I would have bought 40lbs, and I'm not kidding! Since our Albertson's closed down, I have yet to see it at less than $1.99, and that's been very few and far between. It's usually about $3.50 average here. So absolutely, you had a great shopping trip!

Theresa :)


OOPS! Forgot to add my last trip. I think I did alright considering how bad the sales/coupon match-ups have been around here lately.

2- Pam olive oil Spray
6- Boxes of honey Bunches of Oats Fruit Cereal
4- Bags of Eat Smart Fresh Veggies
6- boxes Ronzoni Pasta
1- Med Jar Publix Brand Basil
1- Large Jar Badia Parsley Flakes
1- pkge Paper Bandage Tape

TOTAL> $19.04
It helped that I had a $5 off of $30 coupon, along with 6 $1 cereal coups.

If you have a Sav a Lot in your area, their current promotion is
99 cents a pound for fresh split chicken breast. So it would have the bone and skin on.
I am not sure what percentage of "waste" for the bones/skin, but still a very good buy.

Note to self....buy some this week ...good canning project :)

My recent buys for stocking up......
Rinaldi pasta sauce at $ 1 a jar. I bought 20.
Barilla pasta $ 1 . Bought 10 boxes.

Didn't check the price for canned sweet corn yesterday.
I had bought 2 plastic wrapped cases, (12 cans for $ 3), and when
putting them away, discovered 3 seriously dented ones.
Thought about just getting my money back, and then the
light bulb came on....just exchange them :)

I still need to buy some coffee today. $ 5.99 for Folgers
34.5 oz size. Limit 3 at a store who also has a coupon for
$ 5 off a $ 30 purchase. Same store has 3 store doubler coupons but
manufacter coupon has to be under $ 1. Sneaky move on their part,
most coupons are $ 1 , not .99
Another store has same coffee for 6.99 for the next week.

I shopped Albertsons when i lived in California back in the 80's. I found it at that time it was High. My sister goes there only for deep discounted sales.

Today: $2.13*

4.5 lbs green cabbage
1 banana
2 zucchini
1 lg head broccoli

*yup, all from the marked-down produce section ('cept for the lone banana - that was full price (.49 lb)
 
#40 · (Edited)
Don't you love it when things are marked wrong... Last summer I got Strawberry Fig Newtons for .30 a package (where supposed to be $3.00) I bought a dozen packages (I don't even LIKE them) I just bought them 'coz I could (haha) then I handed them out to family members.

When I took them to the register and the cashier saw them she knew they were wrong but had to sell them (but then she whispered "Did you leave any?" and I said, "Yes") she went and got a bunch for herself. (Hey, don't blame me- I am not responsible for her actions - lol)....
