It's official...

I have A LOT of fruit snacks!


Over the last two days I have bought 75 boxes of fruit snacks for a total of ......


$3.50


Albertsons is having a wicked fruit snack sale. Betty Crocker fruit snacks are $1.00 a box. When you purchase 5 boxes you get a catalina coupon (prints out at the register) for $3.50 off your next order, essentially making those 5 boxes worth $1.50, or less if you use coupons (like I did). Your first transaction will cost $5.00 oop (without using coupons) and then on the next one you can use that nifty little catalina worth $3.50 and it makes the total $1.50. THEN...you get another $3.50 catalina. You can do that over and over again and in the end you will have a lot of fruit snacks and a $3.50 catalina in hand. There are a few coupon sites you can print off coupons for $.50 off 2 boxes (use two per order) and it makes it $.50 total (or $.10 per box) per 5 boxes purchased. Here is a breakdown of how it would work without any extra coupons:


#1: 5 boxes of fruit snacks = $5.00
get a $3.50 catalina coupon back


#2: 5 boxes of fruit snacks = $5.00
use the previous catalina -$.3.50
Total = $1.50
get a $3.50 catalina coupon back


#3: 5 boxes of fruit snacks = $5.00
use the previous catalina -$3.50
Total = $1.50
get a $3.50 catalina coupon back


You can do this over and over again. Remember, you can add in coupons to make it a sweeter deal.

I only know that this is working in my area (Pacific Northwest). It very well may be a promo other places as well. I am not liable if things don't go the way you planned :). Also, I have heard that some stores are very picky about how many transactions you can do at a time. My store is great and they see me so much (4 times this week alone) that I pretty much do what I want :)

Should I just look here weekly for the good deals? I need to start doing this again!
