So excited about this deal! Thanks for highlighting it! I bought 4 boxes of Macaroni Grille, 4 Betty Crocker brownies, 2 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios and two boxes of Chex bars today. Cost $31, about $23 after coupons and earned the $15 in coupons AND a $2 coupon valid when I fill out a survey.
Looking forward to going again in a few days…
(Also, I had a friendly checker, and I used several internet coupons.)

GRRR is right! When I called corporate last fall, they said that they had to accept internet printables since Albertsons itself hosted a coupon printer on their website. Don't take this one lying down! Call them back is you don't hear back by lunch. I've heard that it is corporate policy to take printables, except for those good for free product.

I did round one of this tonight and paid $8 for 6 boxes of Macaroni Grill, 4 boxes of Betty Crocker Brownies, and 3 packages of Warm Delights. The cashier told me that I couldn't use internet printable coupons on this special but she said she would take them this one time. GRRR I came home and called corporate. I will wait for a return phone call. I was told that each store gets to decide their own coupon policy.

hey this is really some very useful information, a similar thing i stumbled on was http://www.Aafter.com…this site provides lot of discounts, cash backs and grocery coupons apart from the discounts given by the seller.

My NW flyer has the meat deal too and not this one but sometimes we're a week behind everyone else. Here's hoping we'll get this deal next week! Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the fast info on the ad!
Oh ugh!!! I had my hubby pick up a flyer because I was so excited about this deal – wanted to get my list all in order…. Our deal is $5 off meat with $20 participating purchases -this is in MT though!
Hope you all have fun with some great $5 coupons!

Anony, yes, I get the ads in Monday's mail. All the participating products are listed on the back page. Albertsons stores are owned by different corporations throughout the US, so the sales vary by region. The So. California Albertsons are their own region. Ridgecrest is as far North as they go, according to the PR rep I spoke with.

Anon, if you buy $30 worth of those items, you will receive $15 in store coupons that can be used like cash in a future transaction. So, that means you're automatically getting half your money back. Don't buy more (or less) than $30 worth in one transaction and this is how the numbers will work out. Obviously, your savings will be offset a little if you buy more. And you won't earn the $15 in coupons if you buy less.
