Randalls

Today I decided to start learning about Randalls. I have been reluctant to go to Randalls. They are not very close to where I live and they are more expensive as grocery stores go. Plus my husband worked for Albertsons for many years and just had something against Randalls in general, must be a competitive thing. Anyway I saw some deals I just could not pass up. So I went and got their loyalty card and tried out their system. Here are a few things I learned. I was told that only one catalina (the coupons that print out at the checkstand, often for money off your next trip) would print out for a promotion per transaction. When using a catalina coupon, you can only use one per transaction.

For a full sale match up go here. Today is the last day of this sale.
Here are some of the things I picked up.

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, 4.5-9 oz $0.99, must buy 4
Catalina: buy 3 get $1, buy 4 get $2, buy 5 get $3
I bought 5
used 1 $1/3 from bettycrocker.com
and 1 $1/2 from coupons.com
I paid $2.98 and got $3 off. So I got 5 boxes for basically free. I did this transactions twice.
I had made a deal with my oldest son, that if I could find fruit snacks for under $0.50 I would get him some. Free is even better!


Nature Valley Granola Bars, 6.7-8.9 oz $2.00
Catalina: buy 3 get $1.50, buy 4 get $2.50, 5 get $3.50
I bought 5
used 2 $1/2 from bettycrocker.com
and 1 $0.50/1 from coupons.com
I paid 7.50 and got $3.50 back. So each box was $0.80. I did this transaction twice. 
My husband  has an intolerance to wheat, so he eats a lot of these since they have no wheat.


Halmark Cards
Catalina: Buy 3 get $5 back
I bought 3 cards at $1.99 (catalina not valid on $0.99 cards)
I paid $6 and got $5 back. So 3 Halmark cards for $1.


I used used my two $3 catalinas to buy milk and my $3.50 catalina to buy salad, that is BOGO (buy one get one free) this week. I will save my $5 catalina for another trip, it is good until 2/21/ All in all I think my trip was worth it and will probably do it again. I did have a cranky cashier, but that will not deter me from getting the best deal.
