Cash in Your Quarters sale at Albertsons thru 2/25

Every so often Albertsons runs a "Cash in Your Quarters" sale, and it's one of my favorite times to shop there.  I rarely have coupons that match up with the quarter sale items, but there are usually several bargains available despite the lack of coupons.  Additionally, there are several participating items that earn an additional bonus Monopoly game ticket. Prices and items are from the location at 3355 East Pershing Blvd in Cheyenne, and are valid through 2/25/14.  Final prices $1 or less are highlighted in red.

King Soopers deals through 2/18: cheap razors & more

After a few weeks of good sales, I've found the last two weeks to be less than stellar.  Thankfully, I've built up a decent stockpile which allowed me to skip shopping last week (with the exception of milk and bread).  There weren't too many things in this week's ad that interested me, but I did venture out today to grab a few items.  While there are more sale items than the ones I'm highlighting, I'll show you how to get a good price on some of my favorites.  Final prices $1 and less are displayed in red.  Sales prices are valid through 2/18/14, and are available at the 3702 Dell Range Blvd location in Cheyenne.

Couponing tip: sign up with SavingStar & get money back!

If you're not familiar with SavingStar, it may be worth it for you to check it out and sign up.  With SavingStar, you register your store loyalty cards (I have my King Soopers card registered.  Albertsons is also listed, but since they don't have a loyalty card program, I'm honestly not sure how you would go about redeeming SavingStar offers there.  Safeway is not currently a participating store, unfortunately). 

 

Once you're registered, you can select any available e-coupon offers to be loaded onto all of your cards (they change every week or so, and I usually select all of them so I don't have to worry about missing an offer).  If you purchase anything you've registered for during the designated time period (make sure you use your loyalty card!), money will be deposited into your SavingStar account.  Once you reach $5 in your account, you can cash out via PayPal, bank deposit, or gift cards.  Keep in mind that these e-coupons will not lower your out-of-pocket grocery bill -- the amounts accumulate in your account and you will get the money back after your reach the $5 minimum and cash out.

To be honest, you probably won't make a ton of money from doing this.  Then again, everyone's buying habits are different and maybe you buy more of the products they feature than I do.  I've been using SavingStar for about 3 years and I only have earned a total of $57 or so.  However, I figure even a little extra "free money" I hadn't counted on is always a good thing!

 

Just as another tip about using SavingStar, I often find the available eCoupons match up with coupons available to print at coupons.com, so keep that in mind also.

 For more information or to sign up, check out the SavingStar website.
