Warning: This scenario requires a bit of guts (or confidence), a few coupons and may need to be completed on the evening shift at Albertsons.
With that being said, it is all completely legit but may require a bit of explaining to your cashier. This deal does not start until tomorrow (2/5).

There is also a nabisco coupon from a recent insert that you can use on top of those coupons, 75 cents off 2 nabisco products.
I am fairly certain that the FREE milk coupon attaches to the Oreo cookies, but it is worth a try.
I did the deal last night and was able to use all coupons above and the nabisco 75\2. 🙂
Does this work with lactose free milk? They only come in half gallons. 2/3 kids are allergic to lactose. So we just buy it all time since we have to cook with milk and the kids have to eat haha.
Albertsons carries the big jugs of Lactaid milk that are not quite a gallon, but might work. The FREE milk coupon states up to a $4.50 value so you will still have to pay a bit of pocket for your “free” milk.
However is it worth all that hassle for $1.28 per item?? Lol
Those of us without a PhD. may not be able to pull this off.
Does Albertson’s accept Safeway’s in-ad cpns? I know Safeway takes other stores’ in-ad cpns if they are mfr cpns on specific items.
The Safeway coupon says “manufacturer coupon” on the top and does not have the word Safeway anywhere on it. Technically this should work just fine. I will be interested to find out how many cashiers won’t do it though.
If that’s the case, it should work. But on top of guts, confidence, coupons and the evening shift, maybe K should have added a clown wig and a fake beard.
I would do the fake beard on the second trip and the clown wig on the the third trip so as not to draw any suspicion for doing an awesome deal too many times in a row.
Howard, I can’t tell you how many times I wish the comment thread on here had a “like” button for your comments.
