My Ralphs and Albertsons Scenarios

There are not a ton of coupon match-ups this week to Albertsons and still some stragglers for me for Ralphs. Here is what I plan to do:

Albertsons:
transaction #1
(taking advantage of the cereal deal & get free milk & $15 OYNO)
4 Cinnamon Toast Crunch($3 ea) $12.00 - $1/2 Q - $1/2 Q = $10.00
2 Honey Nut Cheerios ($3 ea) $6- $1/1 - $1/1 = $4.00
4 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks ($2.50 each) $10 - $.50/2 - $.50/2 = $9.00

The BC fruit snacks Q, one was from Sept. issue of Parents and the other I thought was from this last week's insert.

$23.00 Subtotal

(15.00) Catalinas from last week
$8.00 OOP, get $15 in Cats and should get free Milk Q also!

transaction #2
20 Cans of Hunts diced Tomatos (14.5 oz cans) ($1 each)

**could not find any IP's for this and I used all my MF last month**
I know it's an insane amount of cans, but they have whole, stewed and diced listed in the ad. I love having them in my pantry for adding to rice, casseroles, chilis, soups, crockpot dishes...whatever)

$20.00 subtotal
(15.00) from 1st Transaction
$5.00 OOP, get $10 in Cats

Total OOP $13.00 and will have $10 in Cats & Free Milk Q!
