Albertsons Avenu

[Cadaverous Pallor]

If you shop at Albertsons you may have noticed a new Avenu kiosk at the entrance. Scan your Albertsons card there and it will print out a paper showing deals set up just for you that you can only get today.

When I first saw this I was like "whatever" and scanned the barcode because I'm a barcode-scanner by nature. The print out lists about 12 things to buy at pretty deep discounts - a buck off here and there adds up. A quick perusal of the list and I realized these were all items similar to ones we had purchased lately. The only difference - they were all Albertsons brand items. So the discounts were even deeper than they looked, due to lower pricing to begin with.

I'm a brand whore on most things but when you can get something for super cheap it's worth a shot. I think I've bought something every time I've printed up the list, and every time the quality has been great. Color me impressed.

Has anyone else tried this out?
