Promos 11/4 – 11/10

I’ve decided to not even hit the Albertsons buy $30 get $15 in Catalina promo because there isn’t enough stuff in there that I want. I want the flour but have found it at Safeway in another promo for $1 a bag with my coupons – it’s $1.29 a bag in the Albertsons promo. The Albertsons promo is better than the Safeway promo because at Safeway you have to spend $25 and you only get $5 in Catalinas back but they have a little more of what I want- because they have Nestle Chocolate Chips in their promo and microwave popcorn that I want. So it’s kind of just a bonus to get a $5 Catalina from Safeway for me because I would buy things I didn’t really want at Albertsons. QFC also has a really great promo going on- I love their buy 10 items instantly get $5 off promos and they are having another one that includes Gatorade! Now I can stock up for Josh with the $.50/2 coupons I purchased on Ebay a while back. I can buy 20 Gatorades with the promo and my coupons and only pay $5 which means Gatorade is only $.25 if you don’t have the coupons I do Gatorade is still only $.50 which is the sale I’ve ever seen. So here are my shopping lists for the week.
