Instant Savings Spotlight!

Okay, I plagiarized the Blog title today from the Albertsons' ad that came out this morning (A-L-L Small and and Mighty detergent at Albs is $3.99!) and borrowed the copyrighted image above from the Box Tops 4 Education site but all for a non-profit good cause so that makes it okay!  (Not really.)

Through October 18th, buy any combination of 10 participating products advertised as such by Albertsons and when you use your Preferred Card you get $5.00 off your total order or $.50 off each item.  These are all Box Tops items and as an added bonus when you buy 10 General Mills products in a single transaction you get 25 Bonus Box Tops that print at the register.  (From there you register those at Growing Local Learning and Whitney gets the Box Tops).  If that wasn't enough, when you buy 10 items Albertsons donates $1.00 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

I'm a little more hyper about this stuff than most and want to make sure I squeeze every last nickel of savings, promised Box Top or donated dollar out of each 10 items so if you get behind me in line, run to another checker!  I will separate my transactions if I have more than 10 participating items to make ABSOLUTELY sure I get my promised Box Tops.

Crazy?  Yes.  But, my Growing Local Learning account shows that during this current collection period I have racked up 365 Box Tops (so far).  That's $36.50 for diligently monitoring my transactions (acting like a crazy person) and yes I used a coupon for each of the items.  And yes, I really do buy 20 boxes of cereal every few months but that's because my children and their friends are Hobbits who demand second breakfast and thirdsies!

This week I'm going in for another 100 Box Tops.  We're low on cereal again.
