No time for posting today

Hi friends!
I really don't feel like posting deals today, so I'm going to give you links to others that are more faithful than I.

Rite Aid, Walgreens deals are being posted today.
Frugal Living NW I know for sure has Rite Aid already.

Remember that tomorrow is a Holiday edition of the paper so no regular coupon inserts.
I do know that P&G has an insert in tomorrow's paper.
I haven't decided if I'm going to buy a paper just for that or not.

Have a great 4th of July, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!

Changes to Albertsons Releasing Their Twice The Value Coupons

Albertsons has made it official regarding the change to Twice the Value coupons being at customer service counters. Here’s what they have released in an e-mail:

As I’m sure you’ve seen on our Facebook page, we’re currently reevaluating the way we share coupons with our shoppers. We’re really excited that so many shoppers are enthusiastic about our Twice the Value coupons at certain Albertsons IMW locations, and we’ve seen a significant increase in shoppers who are using them.

Unfortunately, we’ve seen many people taking advantage of this special offer, so we’ve decided to stop providing extra inserts at our store locations. As of July 17th, the only way to have access to the promotional inserts that include our Twice the Value coupons will be to purchase a Sunday newspaper. I want to make it clear that we’re still offering and honoring our Twice the Value coupons, but to limit the number of shoppers who are using more than three in any given shopping trip we will not have extra coupons at our store locations.

Our stores in Montana and Wyoming have a historically low redemption rate of our special Twice the Value coupons, so in these specific markets we’ve decided discontinue offering our special savings inserts in Sunday newspapers as well. Since shoppers in these stores don’t appear to be finding value in these coupons, we’ve decided to use this as an opportunity to try new ways to share savings and value with our customers.

Thanks, Frugal Living NW

Start asking your parents, friends & neighbors for their inserts if they don't use them.

Another bummer couponing change (like Rite Aid's BOGO coupon change), BUT we'll get over it and it won't be a big deal.

My Great Albertson's Trips!!


This was a great week at Albertson's, doggone it!
I love Albies TTV (Twice The Values), but it's also a bit stressful for me because I take ALL 3 of my kids!
There's a lot of arguing amongst them, but we make it out with having spent barely any money.

I keep getting pestered (I mean.....talked to) by my children, dinner is waiting to be prepared so my listing may not be as easy to read as I'd like it to be.

Do not dismay, you can find all the deals yourself (clearly explained) in the 3 postings I got them from:
