Quick Tips for using Albertsons Doublers

Over the past several months, I have learned a few things about using Alberstons Twice the Value coupons (what we call doublers).  Here are just a few tips that may help you find the best deals. 
  • View a few different coupon blogs for a list of matchups.  This way you will find a variety of items.
  • Compile a long list of items that you would want to buy.  Many products will be out of stock, so you will need to have a back up plan.
  • Stay organized.  Have all your doublers clipped and ready to attach to your coupons as you decide what to buy.
  • Plan your transactions carefully.  Make sure you are using the highest value coupon.  Check your coupon stash for peelies, blinkies or other coupons you have received.
  • Make sure to check with your family, friends and fellow Savvy Simple Savers for unused doublers.
  • Know your store.  Become familiar with the layout and the best times/days to shop.
  • Pay special attention to catalinas that will print at the register.  You can double manufacturer catalinas (up to $1.00).  Even a catalina that states "on your next shopping trip" (not product specific) can be doubled to reduce a more expensive transaction.
  • Always check for clearance.  Most stores have a clearance area, but you can also find tags throughout the store.
  • Watch your transactions at checkout to insure accurate pricing and coupon savings. 
  • Enjoy your savings!
