BIG News for SoCal Albertson's!




Ok, not big news, HUGE news! Southern California Albertsons finally gets doublers!!! (I hope you didn't toss your newspapers yet- they are tucked away among the retail store circulars, on a single page Albertsons ad.)

I have always dreamed about using doublers, and I was actually a bit jealous of the lucky coupon clippers who have had them for so long! (I may just have to convert to being a full time Albertsons shopper now...)

What are doublers you ask? Leave it to my two favorite coupon queens to explain:

Here’s the 411 regarding Twice the Value Coupons:
Albertson’s has In-Ad Coupons that can be matched with manufacturer coupons for additional Savings. Some of the In Ad Coupons found at Albertson’s are “Twice the Value” Coupons or Doublers. Doublers are good on any manufacturer coupon up to $1 in Value. So, if you use a $1 manufacturer coupon, and then the doubler- they will take off another $1. If you have a coupon for $1.01 or $1.50 etc., they will NOT (or should not) take an additional $1 off.

You may use one manufacturer coupon and one store coupon per item. Since the Doubler is a Store Coupon- You can not use it in conjunction with another In-Store Coupon. For example- If there is a In-Store coupon (in their ad) you can not use that coupon and a doubler- since that is technically 2 store coupons (just like you can’t use 2 manufacturer coupons on 1 item). If you are buying an item for $1.88 and you have a $1 manufacturer coupon- and a Albertson’s Doubler- THEY HAVE TO ADJUST THE DOUBLER DOWN TO $.88.  To make it simple- think of the Doublers as a stackable store coupon that matches the amount of a manufacturer coupon. Looking to score some super cheap or even free stuff? Think about the high value MQs you have and match them to items priced at or below $2.00! Or even items priced 2/$3.00 or 2/$4.00- and buy one! *If the manuf. coupon states "do not triple or double", these doublers won't work with them! The key is to use $1.00 off manuf. coupons to get the maximum possible savings!

Here are a few ideas for spending them this week:

International Delight Flavored Creamer $1.79

$1.00/1 – International Delight Coffee Creamer – (internationaldelight.com)
