Can someone tell me where the Hefty $1/1 coupon can be found. I have looked in all three inserts from 9/27 with no success.

Maren

I can’t find the Hefty coupon either!

Tom

ditto
Heather

I couldn’t find it either… not sure what I was thinking. Sorry guys!

I wish the campbells coupons would reset, UGH! I need to go find another computer.
Matt

I used doublers twice on the Tony’s pizza deal with the store coupon, at two different stores with two different cashiers, no problems, no beepage 8 tony’s pizzas for .79 each. The doublers have nothing to do with the store coupon. The doublers should be able to be used on any coupon under $1 that isn’t restricted as a do not double coupon.
Heather

Matt- Just like you can’t use 2 manufacturer coupons on 1 item, you can’t use 2 Store Coupons on 1 item. A Twice the Value and In Ad Coupon are both store coupons. That’s nice that they let you do it, but technically if you wanted to use the Twice the Value coupon you would need to forfeit the in ad coupon and use the regular price for the pizza. Hope this helps.

Matt

Heather- I’m not using two manufacturer coupons on one item the sole purpose of a doubler is to double a coupon if I didn’t use it on a Tony’s coupon I would use it on another coupon, it has nothing to do with the instore coupon. Hope this helps.

Heather

Matt-
So, using A Twice the Value Coupon and the In Ad Coupon on 1 Item is using two store coupons on 1 item. I know you are not doubling the store coupon, but you can’t use two in conjunction with each other. This really isn’t a huge deal, but I thought I would make sure you understood what I was saying.
M

I am not using the doubler on the item I am using it on the coupon. I am using the store coupon on the item, and the doublers on the manufacturers coupons. therefor I am actually only using one store coupon on the item and two manufacturers coupons for $2 each because they have been doubled. I’m going to do this again at yet a third Albertsons, I’ll let you know how it goes I’m sure it will work. Hope this helps
Heather

Unfortunately this is not how it works. The in ad coupon says that it can not be doubled OR used with a Twice the Value Coupon. And even though you are doubling the manufacturer coupon and not the in ad coupon, you are using the twice the value and the in ad coupon for the same item. Even though the stores are letting you, this isn’t something we should be doing. Thanks for the discussion!

FYI – I tried using the Nestle $2.00 off coupon, but it is the 12.5 oz that is on sale for $2.50 and the printable coupon is for 24 oz. So it won’t work out to be $0.50 as the final price.
Heather

Lisa- The coupon listed is a $1.00 coupon and should be used with a Double Coupon for a final price of $.50

Carmen

This site keeps saying “I’m sorry, the page you are looking for is lost” Can’t seem to get the coupon for Nestle candy

Mechela

I didn’t realize that you couldn’t use the coupons for the Tonys pizza. They let me do it at one albertsons too.
Shopper

Albertsons in Idaho Falls would NOT let me use the in add coupon with a manufacturer coupon on the pizzas. I even explained to the girl that doesn’t make sense… but I didn’t feel like getting all upset over some pizzas… It seems every time I go there I have a problem with their “coupon policy”.
Sarah

I tried to double the litehouse coupon for the apple cider and caramel dip. At the very bottom of the coupon it says you can’t double it. So my cashier would not let me use a double coupon. Darn it.
Ashley Harper

how long will the strawberries and ground beef be on sale?

Heather

Through Tuesday

Neva

FYI – The Alb’s on Fairview/Main in Meridian refused to take my Treetop apple juice IPs. Talked to the manager and he said that there was no watermark on the IPs and that I couldn’t prove they weren’t copies. I showed him that they had different “codes” on them and they even had different expiration dates. Isn’t that proof enough? Still, no dice. He told me that they’ve been having “a lot of coupon fraud” and then told me I could still buy the juice for $2.12. No thanks – I just walked out of there with nothing.

I’m getting a bit discouraged with Albertson’s. It seems that so many of you are having great luck with all this doubling but my experiences have been very mediocre and pretty hit-and-miss. Has anyone had a problem with this?

mamanard

Try a different store if you can. The store closest to me are horrible with coupons and customer service. The one 5 mins farther away are Sooooo nice it’s crazy by comparison!

Mandi

Halls Refresh are free if you use a doubler! They are priced at 1.99 – use the $1 off one coupon plus a doubler. Also – There is a hefty .55 cent off coupon from the all you magazine (don’t remember which month it was).
Misa

No tree top juice boxes left at the 5Mile store. Employee said the main warehouse was out. Used the coupon anyway on the “regular” size apple juice and final prices was $1 each.
Denise

Usually I have no problems at Albertsons. Last week a checker did try to tell me two of my coupons had the same code so I couldn’t use both of them (?) whatever, no big deal. Last night I went to stock up on classico sauce to get that $5 Catalina but that catalina just would not come out, no matter what combination they rang it up as. They eventually just typed in a $5 coupon for me on my next shopping order. It took about 15 min. to get it resolved but they were helpful and apologetic.
Jenny

I just did my shopping trip at the Albertson’s in Caldwell my the college. As usual, they were extremely helpful and friendly. I stocked up on the $2.99 Tillamook cheese, the $0.13 yoplait yogurt, the free Tree Top juice boxes, the free Campbell’s cream soups, and the strawberries and chicken breasts. They had a basket of make-up marked to clearance prices, so I got 3 Cover Girl Mascaras for $1.99 each (marked at $3.99, and I doubled the $1/1 coupon. I actually only paid for 2 of them because they didn’t ring up right, so I got the first one free!) They also had Arm & Hammer Advanced Whitening or Advanced Cleaning toothpaste B1G1, and they were marked at $3.99. I bought 4 and used 2 of the $3/2 coupons, making them $0.50 each. Great day at Albertsons!
