If you are wondering where I got all of these Quaker coupons, I ordered them on Ebay. I was going to try and get the $1/2 coupons, but I kept getting out bid and was worried about not receiving them in time. Also, since I know I would be buying a huge stockpile of granola bars I didn't want to do multiple transactions using doublers. Not cool when buying so many granola bars!
I checked with my store before buying this many at once. I offered to special order them, but they told me not to worry about it, as they had just received a huge shipment and were expecting more. (If you plan to stockpile these, make sure to take into consideration their expiration date, which is about six months.)
You still can take advantage of this sale through Tuesday. Even if you don't have coupons, $1 each isn't a bad price for Quaker products. But make sure to keep an eye out for the new Quaker instant oatmeal coupon in the Value Your Heart booklet that has been found at several Albertsons' locations.

How much did you pay for the coupons? I've never purchased coupons before (minus the newspaper, of course) and it always seems a bit odd to me - shouldn't you figure in the cost of the coupons into your money spent, or is the amount so negligible it does not matter?
you bought coupons on Ebay??? Now this is getting overboard. I am off to Albertson's in the morning but I won't be getting 6 months worth of granola bars. My mother is excited about the potential of free oatmeal and she might turn into a Couponista too. That would be remarkable for an 80 year old.
You should have ordered your q's last week! I grabbed a set of 10 of the $1/2 quakers q's for less than $1. It's been such a long time since I ordered coupons though. Although, I did spend almost $3 on Rosarita q's yesterday too (someone I know online has a hunch about an upcoming sale, the last time I went with it- everything worked out so I've got my fingers crossed!).
I LOVE the pictures. And you say the granola bar picture isn't impressive?? I beg to differ lady! GREAT JOB!!!
I am glad to see you had a $1/1 Ronzoni Pasta coupon. I forgot that one had been out there, I had already used mine. I was unsure if the peanut butter coupons were going to double--glad to see they did! :)
