7 FREE Tombstone Pizzas at Albertsons!

There is a catalina that started yesterday for Tombstone Pizza, which is also included in the Albertsons $25 Kraft promo, AND has its own rebate for your Utility bill.. take a look:

Tombstone Pizza x 7, 3/$11

Total: $25.67

Get back $5.00 catalina coupon (for buying 6+)

Get back a $5.00 catalina coupon + a $20.00 Mail-in Rebate for Kraft Promo.

Mail-in for $5.00 Utility Rebate (taken off your bill-I dont think its a direct check to you)

That's a Profit of $9.33!

Some things to keep in mind: You can only do the Kraft rebate once per household, so if you've already done the Kraft promo, this won't work for you.

Also, the Tombstone Pizzas are not shown on the Albertsons ad, but it is on the list from Kraft (Maybe print this out & take it with you in case there are any problems getting it to print).

You CAN submit for both rebates:

Kraft Rebate requires receipt, but not UPC's

Utility rebate requires UPC's, but not receipt

All this pizza will come in handy when our husbands start watching Football all the time again this month!! :D

Thanks to Frugal Chic Living for this great heads up!

Albertson *Reminder* FREE Groceries!

Who doesn't love free groceries?! From August 7th - August 23rd, when you spend $25 on any of the participating Kraft products (see list here) in a single transaction, at Albertsons you will then receive a coupon for $5 off a future purchase as well as a form to mail in for a $20 rebate (this will print at the register). So, this means FREE groceries, after the $5 coupon and the $20 mail-in rebate!

Spend $25 and get $25 total back!! Your $5 coupon will be good for 2 weeks. The $20 mail-in rebate will take 6-8 weeks to process and get your rebate check sent back to you!

** I went to my Albertsons on Saturday (8/8) and tried this, and nothing printed :( The manager told me this deal does not start until 8/12 when their new ad week starts.. Hmm? So I am going to wait until then to do this again, but it does run through 8/23 so you still have a couple weeks to get your free groceries! Happy Shopping!

.99 cent Laundrey Detergent @ Albertsons!!!

My good friend Mindy at The Bargain Squad found an amazing deal!

Albertson's has the 68.75oz bottles on sale for $2.99 each, limit of 2. Go to Arm & Hammer and click "Get Coupons" in the upper left corner. Fill out your name and email and then load the coupons. The very bottom coupon is for $1.00 off any Laundry Detergent. Close and re-print this coupon twice. Combine with the double coupons that came in Tuesday's mail and you will pay .99 per bottle of laundry soap!!!

I am so excited for this, as we only use this brand! (we use the fragrance & dye free kind... we have sensitive skin) Looks like Ill be printing coupons from every computer I can find! :)
