Can it be?? Albertson's is having another General Mills promo this week (it seems like this just happened a few weeks ago)!! These are my favorite types of promos to practice my "rolling" transactions. So, here's a little tutorial on how "rolling" transactions work:
| ***** | * General Mills Promo: Save $5 on your NEXT shopping order when you spend $15 or more on participating General Mills products.* | Sale prices shown BEFORE/AFTER factoring in $5 coupon. Essentially a 33% discount. Use the first price to add up to $15. | ||
| **** | Betty Crocker Cookie Pouches, 17.5 oz. | 1.69/1.13 | Betty Crocker Cookie Mix, any flavor 17.5 oz or larger, .40/1 DND DNT GroupA AND GroupB Print each twice | $0.73 |
| **** | Betty Crocker Cookie Pouches, 17.5 oz. | 1.69/1.13 | Betty Crocker Cookie Mix, any 17.5oz or larger .40/1 (1/9/10) GeneralMills-11/15 | $0.73 |
I will buy 9 cookie pouches for my first transaction (9 x $1.69 = $15.21). I have 9 coupons because I printed 2 each from Group A and Group B and then I have my 5 General Mills inserts from 11/15. So, my total to pay on this transaction will be $11.61 and I will get a $5 reward for my next purchase.
This next purchase will happen as soon as I slap that little plastic stick down on the belt.
| ***** | Betty Crocker Specialty Potatoes, 4.6-6.6 oz. | 1.00/.67 | Betty Crocker Potatoes, any flavor box or pouch, excluding Potato Buds, .40/1 DND DNT GroupA AND GroupB Print each twice | $0.27 |
| ***** | Betty Crocker Specialty Potatoes, 4.6-6.6 oz. | 1.00/.67 | Betty Crocker Potatoes, any box or pouch (excludes Potatoes Buds) .35/1 (1/9/10) GeneralMills-11/15 | $0.32 |
| **** | Gold Medal Flour, 4.25- 5 lb. bag | 1.69/1.13 | $1.13 | |
| ***** | Green Giant Vegetables in Sauce, 7-10 oz. Box frozen | 1.00/0.67 | Green Giant Frozen Boxed Vegetables, any two (2), .50/2 DND DNT (12-31-2009) GroupA-12/1 and GroupB-12/1 Print each twice | $0.42 ea |
I will buy 9 Specialty Potato boxes (9 x $1=$9), 2 bags of flour (2 x $1.69 = $3.38), and 4 boxes of GG Frozen Vegatables (4 x $1 = $4). That puts my total at $16.38. I will use my coupons for a savings of $4.35 AND my $5 coupon from the previous transaction. So, my total out of pocket for this transaction will be... $7.03 AND I will earn another $5 coupon for my NEXT transaction!!
It is so important that before you go to the store, you know what items will be in each transaction and how many of each item you need to reach your $15 requirement. This will make things go so smooth when you are ready to check out. I even go as far as printing out separate transactions and keeping my shopping cart organized by those transactions. Yes, I am a GEEK!
(Note: your last transaction should be the meats and produce you plan to buy for the week, or things NOT included in this promotion. Use that last $5 to pay for these items and save even more on your everyday items)
Pretty simple right!! I can't wait to hear how much you saved this week rolling transactions!! Leave a comment or email me a picture and I will add you to my Grocery Gallery! Have fun and Happy Saving!
When I talked to the sales clerk at the Albertsons in Henderson she said that the total of my grocerys had to egual more then $15, AFTER, I used my coupons, NOT before I used them. So I did a little differently but stilled scored.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the above post... my sales clerk told me the same thing, but I said that I thought that was not correct. We got the proof when my total after coupons only came to $11 and my $5 off voucher printed out! :) She was pretty impressed....
