PRICE MATCHING, ALBERTSON'S DOUBLERS, AND PEPSI!

Well, I found out something new today in my shopping trips. I had heard that if you price matched the ALL laundry detergent from the Big Lots ad this week of 2/$5 and then used a coupon for either $3.00 / 2 or $1.00 / 1 or there is a $2.00 / 1 ( I didn't have this one, it was regional and we got the $3.00 / 2 here, but I hear you can get them) that the detergent would be from $.50 - $1.50 a bottle. So since this is the ONLY detergent that doesn't irritate my kids skin, I headed to Walmart with Big Lots ad and coupons! I was so excited to see that they actually had some of the detergent on their shelves! I loaded up my cart, got my other groceries and headed to check-out. Well, apparently, Walmart doesn't price match Big Lots! (At least according to this checker). I purchased my other things and left with not detergent.

I packed the kids up and headed to Target to try my luck there. (This was the first time I had tried to price match there, it was SO EASY!) I found the detergent, loaded 10 into my cart, checked out the toy clearance isle (not much left, but did get two things) and headed to customer service. They were super nice and had no problem matching Big Lots ad, so long as I had the entire ad with me. So here is a quick pic of what I got...

Ten ALL Detergent regularly $4.99 = $49.99
Price match 2 / $5.00 or $2.50 each = $25.00
- 5 $3.00 / 2 coupons from newspaper insert (not sure which one)
One pair of Spiderman skates clearanced $4.98
One Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader game clearanced $4.98
TOTAL = $22.06!
This would have normally cost me $90.00 plus tax!

I also thought I would share a few more deals I got today
Albertson's


After coupons = $1.70
I used buy 2 gallons milk get 1/2 gallon chocolate milk free
$1.00 any 2lb cheese on Coupons.com
Alberson's coupons Tillamock chess $3.99
$1.00 off coupons for Crest Pro Heath plus doublers
$.50 off halls cough drops plus doublers
I did this in three transactions and I did use two OYNO catalinas from last week



And finally, my husband is a Pepsi person. I have a hard time finding 12 packs for under $2.50, so when Walgreen's ad came out I new what I was getting there! They have their Pepsi 12 packs on sale 5 / $15.00 which is an okay deal, but if you buy $20.00 worth of participating products you get $10.00 Register Rewards to use on your next trip. So, I got 5 cases of pepsi, and added two bags of Tostitos chips which are 2 / $5.00 this made my total over $20.00 so I got the $10.00 RR.


Total $21.60
When you factor in the $10.00 RR you get the Pepsi for $2.00 and the two bags of chips are free! I did do this transaction twice (yes my husband will go through them all!) but you can not us the RR on your second transaction if you want another one to print. I am saving both of mine for the deal that is suppose to be coming next week on Huggies diapers!
