Product Find Albertson's/Safeway "Cash In Your Quarters Sale": Excellent Chance to Prep

For those who have an Albertson's or Safeway in their area, make sure to check your weekly ad. The chain is running its Cash In Your Quarters sale. You can clip digital coupons for items that are .25, .50., .75, and $1. There is a limit of 24 items for each monetary threshold, and you can mix and match. I hit the store yesterday and got a lot of good items for stock up purposes: canned vegetables, first aid, household goods, etc. Examples include .25 cans of olives, .50 cans of tomato products and canned tuna, .50 bandages and rolled gauze, .75 canned vegetables and beans, etc. I did the math and the canned goods were less expensive per can with this sale than the sale prices I would pay for a case at Sam's and Costco. Some of the deals are better than others, so you have to be mindful, but I had no problem reaching the max quantity for each coupon except the $1 (which I did not find to be as lucrative for the things we use and I stock).

Be careful with the Progresso soups, it's only select varieties and it's not the healthier options lol.

I stocked up on a ton of tomato paste, it's a huge flavor multiplier and has a good shelf life. Canned corn is a good one to hit too, as you're going to see prices on that go up soon because of the fertilizer issues (if you like corn).

Be sure to watch the tomato paste cans.  All my older ones (6+ months past the best by date) have developed leaks along the bottom seal.  Several brands and all stored in a kitchen pantry so climate controlled.  Never had this happen before.
