Albertsons Post Cereal Sale

Albertsons is having a HUGE cereal sale this week. It runs March 29-April 7. When you buy one box of participating cereal, it is $2.07. However, when you buy in groups of 2 it is $1.57 a box.

When you buy 5 or more a $5 Catalina prints out (this is what prints by the receipt machine and is used like Albertsons cash). So, you can roll this into your next transaction of 5 cereal, which then produces another $5 Catalina and so on. As long as you keep buying in groups of 5 and then pay, you will keep getting the $5 Catalina. I recommend buying in groups of 6 so you can get the $1.57 price/box. Otherwise you'll get 4 @ $1.57 and one at $2.07.

So, here is a scenario:

Buy 6 boxes @ $1.57 each = $9.42
Use your $5 Catalina = $4.42
Then use (3) $1/2 coupons
Total is $1.42 for 6 boxes = $.24 box

If you don't have any coupons, then buy 5 boxes at a time for the better deal and it equals $.67/box.

You'll have to pay for the first 5 before you get a Catalina to print, but then just roll your Catalina into each transaction (buy 5 or 6, pay, get Catalina, and do it all over).

I know several Albertsons here are getting multiple shipments in this week. I've called about special ordering, but they say they've got plenty on hand. If you don't see what you want, ask and it's probably in the back.

The picture of the "Just Bunches" is so yummy! I bought a couple and I'm getting a bunch more. It's just a box full of the clusters of granola from Honey Bunches of Oats...so delicious!
