9 cents OOP at Albie's!

Gosh, I haven't spent this much time at Albie's since they stopped accepting Walgreen's Register Rewards as payment! I think I am safely stocked up on Kraft Mac & Cheese for awhile. The only bummer is they don't have a very long shelf life - they all expire by September. Seems kind of short to me, oh well.

I found a couple more of these .75/1 Mission IPQs and I also read about free Hershey's Bliss chocolate bars here on Eve's My Southwest Savings blog! Free chocolate??? I am in. Always. I just realized why all my chocolate coupons beeped - I bought Dove instead of Hersheys! Darn it! Neither me nor the cashier noticed; we just figured the coupons were beeping because they were over the price. That explains why the chocolate bars were .50. I really need to pay better attention. I also grabbed some bananas and a dozen eggs to eat up the Kraft overage. I found a rockin' cashier and I did 3 transactions that looked like this:

#1
.50 Kraft Mac & Cheese (6)
-.55/2 Kraft tearpad MQ - doubled (3)
- .11 each for in-ad Q (scanned 6 times)
.66 overage total (.11 overage per box)

.50 Dove chocolate bars (3) wrong item!
-.55/1 Hershey's Bliss single chocolate bar MQ 4/25 SS - adj. to .50 (3)
FREE

.99 Mission tortilla chips
-.75/1 any Mission product IPQ - print here
.01 overage

.40 bananas (.49/lb.)
1.39 dozen eggs
.50 Green Giant canned peas - filler

No Tax = .03 paid OOP

I couldn't figure out why the total was negative. I threw a 1.39 dozen eggs and the .50 canned peas onto my order to bring it positive. Looking at my receipt, I see what happened... the cashier pushed the Hershey's MQs through at face value, but then also manually took off the .50 for each chocolate bar. I'll go back to Albie's tomorrow and find out what they want to do about the chocolate.

  2. Oh man I had to run to albertsons this morning to see if they stocked the marcal toilet paper yet. The hadn't but I took the bliss coupons with me keeping in mind you had mistakenly got the dove bars. And guess what I did. I got the dove bars instead of the bliss. I couldn't believe it. I didn't realize it until after I was eating one (for breakfast... ahem). I even said to the cashier I wonder why those are beeping as she rang my q's. Oy! Let me know how it goes if you go back to albertsons I suppose I should take mine back too!

  3. Where have you seen the Kraft tear pads? I totally missed out! Actually, my son found one on the floor at Albie's! :)

  4. Amy- I'm so glad I'm not alone! I felt awful, but I called customer service this morning and they said not to worry about it. Good thing, because I already ate one for breakfast too! :)

  5. Kristin- I have seen them at Fry's, Safeway, & Bashas. If you can't find any today, get a raincheck for .39 each. Albie's is still doubling next week, so you can still use those tearpad Qs if you are able to find some. If I hadn't left the last of mine in a stack at Albie's last night, I would send them to you! Good luck!
