My plans for Albertsons

August 15, 2009

This week there has been alot of chatter about the Albertsons + Kraft Promotion. If you havent heard about yet (where the heck have you been?) then here is how it works.

Purchase $25.00 worth of PARTICIPATING Kraft products and receive:

$5.00 OYNO

$20.00 Via Mail In Rebate

So, if you plan well you can potentially get $25.00 worth of free stuff or maybe even make some money off it, especially since word on the vine is that Albertsons in putting 3 "twice the value" coupons in Sunday's paper!

Im going to do 2 deals, yeah yeah its limited to 1 rebate per household bla bla bla but as many of us do, I will be sending one of the rebates to my daughter. Of course, I probably wont be seeing the money after she cashes the check but I will have $20.00 worth of Babysitting banked with her if she keeps it so I still Win.

This is complicated so keep up.

Transaction #1: Sometime Sunday

DiGiorno Flat Bread Melts, $2.50 each x 2 = $5.00

Tombstone Pizza, 3/$11.00 x 6 = $22

Subtotal = $27.00

Less:

$1.00 off Any DiGiorno Flat Bread Melts x 2 = $2.00

Subtotal = $25.00

Less:

Albertsons "twice the value coupons" x 2 = $2.00

Total = $23.00

Receive a $5.00 OYNO for purchasing $25.00 in qualifying products,

Receive another $5.00 OYNO for purchasing 6 Tombstone Pizzas

Get $20.00 cash back via mail.

*Get $5.00 CASH BACK OR CREDIT toward my Utility Bill from Tombstone.

* With conditions, you actually need 7 UPCs from Tombstone to qualify for the $5.00 cash/credit. I already have 3, and the offer is valid until 01/15/2010 with the option of getting $5.00 back for 7 UPCs, $10.00 back for 12 UPCs or $15.00 back for 17 UPCs.

Thanks to the Frugal Chic and Krazy Coupon Lady for putting this scenario out there!

Transaction #2: Sometime on Monday

2 Planters Mixed nuts, 2 for $6.00 = $6.00

1 DiGiorno Flatbread Melt = $2.50

2 Nabisco Ritz Crackerfuls, 2 for $5.00 = $5.00

2 Yuban Coffees at $6.99 each = $13.98

Subtotal = $27.48

Less:

$1.00 off DiGiorno Flat Bread Melts (these coupons were in Blinki Machines all over town for quite some time and they might still be out there) = $1.00

$1.00 off 2 Planters Mixed Nuts SS exp. 9/13

$1.00 off 1 Ritz Crackerfuls x 2 = $2.00 , SS exp. 10/11

Total Coupons = $4.00

Subtotal = $23.48

Less:

Albertson's "twice the value" coupons x 3! = $3.00

Subtotal = $20.48

Less:

$5.00 OYNO from the Previous Kraft Promotion

$5.00 OYNO from the Tombstone Promotion

Total = $10.48

Get another $5.00 OYNO from the Kraft Promo

Get another $20.00 Mail In Rebate for the Kraft Promo

So, total out of pocket will be $33.48 after I use the OYNOs from Sunday. Factor in the additional OYNO I get Monday it will be like I spent $28.48. Consider the $45.00 in potential Rebates and I make $16.52!!
