...i know what I can get with $2!

So, I finally went to Albertson's today to do the pullups deal I posted about here. I also stopped by the military post and got a few other items including 10 packages of cheese sticks & butt paste (not to be used as dipping sauce).



Albertsons
2 Huggies pullups 10.69 each
- 1.20 PC Savings (9.49 each)
- (2) $2/1MQ
= 14.98 + 1.77 tax
= 16.75
Recieve $5 Catalina
Recieve $2 Savingstar credit
(Like paying 4.88 each after Catalina & Savingstar)
Saved: 13.40 after Catalina & Savingstar



DeCa (military commisary)
10 Farm Rich cheese sticks 1.49 each
- (10) $1/1 MQ
(= 4.90)
4 Cooper cream cheese .99 each
- (4) .40/1 MSQ
(= 2.36)
1 Butt Paste 4.99
- $1/1 MQ
(= 3.99)
7 Equal Classic 1.50 each
- (7) $2/1 MQ
(= -3.50)
13 Equal Saccharin .90 each
- (13) $1/1 MQ
(= -1.30)
= 6.45
- $5 Catalina from Albertson's (MQ from Huggies)
= 1.45 + 5% surcharge (2.30)
= 3.75
Saved 44.60 (96%)

AAFES PX (military exchange)
4 J&J Red Cross first aid kit .95 each
- (4) $1/1 MQ
(= -.20)
1 16-pack duracell AA 9.29
- $2/1 MQ
(= 7.29)
1 candy 1.25
= 8.34 (no tax at PX)
Saved: $6

Total spent: 28.84
Total saved: $59 (66%)
(70% savings compared to civilian grocers)

DO I REALLY NEED 20 BOXES of Equal? No. I use it for tea and have enough. I will be calling around to see where it will get used. I didn't clear the shelf & it paid for most of my groceries so it benefitted me & I am hoping it will benefit someone else as well.

KEY:
PC Savings - price with club card
MQ - manufacturer coupon
MSQ - military store coupon

Pimpin Pullups Son!

Here is a pre-New Year's post. If you live in the NW region then you can definitely do this same deal at your local Albertson's. If you don't live in the NW, hopefully this will give you some insight on planning a small couponing trip. Leave comments, questions, haterade... whatever... I'll post an update if and when I hit Albertson's up. Subscribe and you'll get a notification. I'll also be updating my instagram so, I'll see ya when I see ya!
