Albertsons – I do a DOUBLER run for the first time in months! Spent $7.29, saved $45.54

Most of the time I’m too busy blogging about the Albertsons doubler deals to actually make it to the store to use them. But now that summer is in full swing and my husband is home from school – it makes it easier for me to go shopping without kids, which is my preference with the multiple transactions doublers require.

What fun I had! I was shocked to find the items I wanted still on the shelves and I saved some serious dough. My love for doublers has returned full force. I spent only $7.29 and I saved $45.54!

The Twice the Value coupons are valid thru Wednesday, July 4 – so you still have two days to score these deals!

My store allows you to do three (3) transactions at a time and then you can take your groceries out to your car to do additional transactions. Since I subscribe to the News Tribune, getting five copies every Sunday – I had five doubler sheets to use.  The doubler coupons are valid four days this go around – so you have until July 4 to use them.

If your store is out of a product, you can always ask for a raincheck. You can use it next time doubler coupons come around, if your manufacturer coupon is still valid.
