I'm finding that some of the deals mentioned on other blogs don't necessarily apply to my area. Last week I saw this awesome deal for $25 of free Kraft products. I got excited and raced to the store and bought the items that were included in the deal. Well, no catalina printed nor did the rebate form when I checked out. I came home and reread the deal to make sure I wasn't missing anything. There were some exclusions for Arizona stores and a few others but NM was not mentioned. Come to find out NM Albertsons are Albertsons LLC and their warehouse is in Arizona, so the deal really wasn't suppose to apply to NM stores. Fortunately, the store honored the deal and ended up giving me a $25 store gift card, but I had to go through some frustration and the possible chance of returning everything I had bought since it wasn't stuff I would normally buy.

I also found out that this store does not take internet coupons. Another store doesn't do stacking.

The point is before you think you have the greatest deal ask the store their policies it will save you time and frustration. Time is money, right?
