There is a Saving Star coupon for $5 back when you buy $20 worth of Lean Cuisine products. Also, there’s a $1/2 Lean Cuisine coupon if you’re a Savings Club member. Here’s the deal I would do:
Buy (9) Lean Cuisines, $2.50 each
Use B4G1 coupon (-$2.50)
Use (2) $1/2 coupons
Use (2) doublers
Pay $16, get $5 back in your Saving Star account
= $1.22 each!
If your store doesn’t allow more than 1 doubler in a transaction, you can do multiple and still get the $5!
No, I just found out last week that my Albies in Norco is closing the first week of November. I’m assuming it will be around the same time for Moreno Valley.
I saw Cadbury ice cream bars at Albertsons this morning for $3.50. If you still have the $1 off Cadbury ice cream bars printable coupon, you could get them for $1.50/box with doubler.
buy 4 Pepsi Next (buy 4 for 5). Use 2 $1.00 off 2 Q and 2 doublers. .25 cents each. Get $1.00 off next purchase catalina. I did it 2X and both times I received the catalina. I’m not sure if its rolling because I did not use the catalina for the soda purchase. But I think it’s a great deal.
Just noticed on the Better Crocker site the Q for the cookie pouch is $.60/1 so if you buy 2 and use 2 doublers $1.60 for 2 packages of cookies and Hershey kisses
I have a couple questions:
1.) On the “$0.80 ea wyb10 Participating Items”, does this mean at least ten items, or in multiples of ten?
2.) And I hope I can get this one out so that it makes sense, lol… For the Hunts pudding snack packs, which are part of the wyb 10 deal, if you use the B3G1 coupon, will that reduce the quantity of items as far as the wyb 10 deal is concerned? So, would I actually have to buy11 participating items?
does anyone know if the Argo cornstarch is on sale along with the baking powder? we have a recent q for the cornstarch. My mother in law taught me to use it instead of baby powder for changing diapers.
Has anyone had trouble with the B3G1 Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding coupon? It says “redeeem at Ralph’s” on the bottom, but it’s a manufacturer coupon, so I used it. Well the cashier wouldn’t take it because it said Ralph’s on it, even though it’s a manufacturer coupon. He asked another cashier and that cashier said the same thing, so he refused it. I ended up going to customer service and I got my buck-sixty, but I was pretty annoyed…
I just talked to corporate about the doubler q’s to get some clarification. It is in their policy that they do not double any coupon over $1. So a $2 coupon will not qualify for the “up to $1″ doubling. I know the way they word it on the coupon is confusing, it seems like it says you can double any coupon, but only up to $1, therefore getting $3 off with your $2 q. the older doublers state “not to be used on coupons $1.01 or higher”. the current ones do not say that, but their policy is current and I will abide by it even though it does not specifically state that on the current doublers. I am bummed b/c I have $1.50q’s I’d like to use on a $2.50 item to get it for free, but policy is policy. Just wanted to share, hope I didn’t ruin anyones shopping plans.
Smart Balance Spreadable Butter – $2.00
Use $0.50/1 Smart Balance Spreadable Butter or Blended Butter Sticks, exp. 11/14/12 (SS 09/30/12)
= $1.50
($1 after doubler)
I have those Smart Balance coupons and they say right on them “Do not double”, AND it even says on the Doubler coupon that it can’t be used on dairy. I was really disappointed once I got to the store.
Doritos or Tostitos – $2.50
With in ad store coupon
Use $0.55/1 Doritos Jacked Chips, exp. 10/20/12 (Pepsi Moments 09/30/12)
or $1/1 Tostitos Tortilla Chips or Salsa, exp. 10/20/12 (Pepsi Moments 09/30/12)
= as low as $1.50
($0.50 after doubler)
I tried to get the Tostitos but the coupon is for bags of 14oz or more, and the bags that were on sale are smaller than that (I think 13.5 oz??). I did see bigger bags, the party size, they were on sale 2/$6. In the end I just used the coupon on the salsa
Fleischmann’s Yeast, 3 pk – $1.99
Use $1/1 Fleischmann’s Yeast, exp. 1/6/13 (RP 09/30/12)
or $0.40/1 Fleischmann’s Yeast, exp. 1/6/13 (RP 09/30/12)
= as low as $0.99
(Free after doubler)
I got a 3 pack of Fleishmann’s and used to .40 coupon because the $1/1 coupon (at least the one I have) is for a jar of Fleishmann’s, not the 3 pack. Sadly my Albertson’s didn’t have the pizza yeast It was an incredibly disappointing trip.

My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!
Pepsi is 4for5 must buy 4. There’s a $1off2 pepsi q from the pepsico insert last week which makes it .25each with two doublers.
Thanks Che! Just added it to the matchups!
Yw. Thanks for all you do!

What about the Rotel? Buy 10 @ .80 each use 5 $.50/2 and 5 doublers if your store allows pay $3.00 for 10 or $.30 each. Isn’t that a good deal?
Sure is, thanks Tracy! I added it to the matchups
Anyone know when Moreno valley is closing?
No, I just found out last week that my Albies in Norco is closing the first week of November. I’m assuming it will be around the same time for Moreno Valley.
I asked an employee this morning at the one on Pigeon Pass in Moreno Valley. She said they’re closing the end of October;(
I heard in December??
oh no that’s the only one out here!!!
there were johnsonville italian sausage IP couple weeks ago that were $2.
With the doubler , makes it FREE! time for some spaghetti!
Doubler’s can only double up to a $1 coupon (to $2). They won’t let you double a $2 to a $4
Still a good deal on Johnsonville though, right?! 
That’s correct Andrea. They will double any coupon up to $1, nothing over. Hope that helps!
YAY! I have the $2 IP as well! FREE sausage again! Thanks Sophia:)
No Problem Josie. Thanks for all you do to help us!!!!!
Josie, when you list the inserts, i.e. (SS 09/16/12 R), you have the letter “R” next to the date, what does this letter mean?
regional….not everyone recieved them.
I saw Cadbury ice cream bars at Albertsons this morning for $3.50. If you still have the $1 off Cadbury ice cream bars printable coupon, you could get them for $1.50/box with doubler.
Oh- and FYI, also at Albertsons this morning, I saw peelies on Cottonelle toilet paper for $1 off 12 pack or larger!
Sorry, I have another. Gerber Organic baby food pouches are 2/$3. Use printable 75 cent off coupon and a doubler, and get it free!
Can anyone please report if the double coupons are in the store add pretty please!
They aren’t Cathy
. I checked this morning.
Thanks kara!
Josie/Kara,
I have a Smart balance bogof coup- can I combine with the .50 off one and a doubler and pay $1 for 2? Thx!
You should be able to do that Meryl! Hope that helps!
oooo, goody! I’ve been looking at that coupon for the longest time- think it was from fb, thanks Kara and Josie!!!
buy 4 Pepsi Next (buy 4 for 5). Use 2 $1.00 off 2 Q and 2 doublers. .25 cents each. Get $1.00 off next purchase catalina. I did it 2X and both times I received the catalina. I’m not sure if its rolling because I did not use the catalina for the soda purchase. But I think it’s a great deal.
Tina, do you still have the cat? Can you send me a picture? southerncalisaver (at) gmail (dot) com – remove spaces. Thanks!
I forgot to mention that the catalina for the Pepsi Next is from Albertson’s
I sent the pix for the albie pepsi next cat. I sent it via instagram. since I can’t seem to send it email. I hope you get it.
Thanks so much Tina!
Thanks!
Does anybody know if Nutter Butter is included in the buy 5 for $10 Nabisco cookie deal? Would be great to use the $1/1 IP mq.
Just noticed on the Better Crocker site the Q for the cookie pouch is $.60/1 so if you buy 2 and use 2 doublers $1.60 for 2 packages of cookies and Hershey kisses

Bad news, Mgr. at my store informed me that store is closing by the end of the month. Good news, everything will be 75% off beginning Wed.
does anyone know if the Argo cornstarch is on sale along with the baking powder? we have a recent q for the cornstarch. My mother in law taught me to use it instead of baby powder for changing diapers.

It was an incredibly disappointing trip.
