Wow! If you have an Albertsons nearby, you may be able to score one heck of a deal on ice cream! Reportedly when you purchase 2 Dreyer’s ice creams 1.5 quart, on sale 2/$6, you will get back a $4 Catalina coupon which can be used on a future purchase!

Please note that I do not have an Albertsons in my area, so I cannot check this deal to see if it works. But if the Catalina IS in fact printing with the purchase of 2, you can score the following deal…

*Buy 2 Dreyer’s Ice Cream 1.5 quart on sale 2/$6
Use the $1/2 regional Dreyer’s coupon found in the 6/12 SS
Pay $5
Get back a $4 Catalina coupon
Final cost only $1 total – just $0.50 per carton!

** Even without the $1/2 coupon, you’d pay just $2 total ($1 per carton)! Plus, even sweeter, it appears this deal is rolling, so you could go back and score another 2 cartons and use the $4 Catalina from your first transaction, pay $2 (or less if you have another $1/2 coupon to use), then get back ANOTHER $4 Catalina! 🙂

IMPORTANT NOTE: The ad states the Catalina will print with the purchase of $12 or more (which would be when you buy 4 cartons). However, it supposedly is printing with the purchase of 2. As always, your mileage may vary. I have heard that some stores have newer computer systems that base the required purchase price off the shelf price (not sale price), so that is why it may be printing on 2. Some stores, however, have older systems which base the price off the sale… and so it may not be printing on 2 in these stores.

    I wish we had Albertsons! My husband and I go through at least one of these a week – the low sugar version in the blue carton is 4 WW points+ per cup!

  2. Kate

    I wonder if this works on Edy’s in the Midwest area? Dreyer’s is Edy’s–same packaging different names. Anyone know?

  3. Patrice

    Log into your Nestle account or sign up to access a new $1/2 Dreyer’s Ice Cream coupon– perfect for this deal! https://tinyurl.com/3hdpz5s

      Says it’s out of prints. Thanks, though.

    In Vegas our ad reads WYB $12 of participating products.
    I am wondering if that $12 needs to be before or after the coupons. Albertsons in Vegas is really funny with the way they word the ads so you never know until you try it.

    Has anyone else tried it? How did it work for you?

    • Michelle

      If you use coupons to take the total under $12 you should still get the deal! I did it last week with the P&G promo (spend $20 get $5) and used the $5 Bounty coupon and 2 coupons for free Aussie and Herbal Essences shampoo and $1 off Pringles, the total was $10 and I got the $5 back! I would love to know if this is indeed working in the Vegas area!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Hi Im in Vegas. The $12 is before coupons. I bought 4 yesterday and used 2 $1/2 edy’s coupons and 2 double value. After the $4 catalina, it’s like paying $1 for each ice cream. I wish i knew if the 2 quantity would work here.

      • Lisa

        I’m in Vegas too, thanks for the info!

    • Geri's Super Saving Tips

      Ok. I just got home from Albertstons. I tried with only purchasing 2 Dryers but the catalina did NOT print. So I guess here in Vegas we have to purchase 4 (or $12 of participating items).
      Don’t forget to use the Doubler coupons along with the $1/2 6/12 SS to make them $8 OOP and then $4 after you count for the catalina. $1 each is really a great price.

  5. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I’ve done this deal when they’ve run it before, and it worked. The Catalinas at Albertsons are based off the shelf price, so even though you’re only spending $6 on the ice cream due to the sale, the regular price for 2 of them is over $12, thus triggering the Catalina.

    • Ariel

      I just got tried it and i had to buy four in order to get the catalina. That was a bummer but on a side note… The hamburger helper is 10/10 so with three of the .75 coupons from the 7/17 SS i paid $7.75 and got back a $5 AND a $2 catalina making them 10 for .75!!! ( and i was able to roll the catalinas!!!)

  6. Amber R.

    I think the reason these may be qualifying for the $4 catalina is maybe that their regular price would make them $12 for 2, before the sale price. Does that make sense? Not sure if thats the case but it is a possibility.

    • Kelli

      That is the exact reason why it should work on two. Matter of fact, all catalina deals normally work off shelf price. If for some reason it doesn’t work, it could be one of the items purchased wasn’t programmed in for the deal. Some blogs that regularly post deals for SuperValu owned stores will have a list of included UPC’s. That way, you can be sure to only buy items that work for the deal.

      • Amber R.

        ooh thank you! I feel so smart now, I figured it out 😀

  7. Jean H

    I live in Everett, WA and it is working at the Albertons in my area. I did two trandsactions back to back buying 2 of the Dreyers Ice Creams (2/$6) and it worked like a charm both times!! 🙂

    • Lisa

      Thanks, Jean!
      I usually shop at the Marysville store but I think they may have the updated system.
      Where in Everett?

      • Crystal G

        Oh, I *really* hope it’s the Albertsons on Madison & Evergreen Way!! My neighborhood store! 🙂

  8. Melissa

    My Albertson’s doesn’t have the Dreyer’s on sale 2/$6 🙁

  9. anon

    Can anyone confirm this deal for Tri-Cities, WA stores?

    • Karen

      We do NOT have the systems required yet…even though they just put in new registers. Checked last night…so it’s a no go. 🙁

      • anon

        Thanks Karen.

  10. Michelle

    If you still have double the value coupons, this would make the ice cream free!!

  11. Carrie

    This deal worked at my Albertsons in CA, 91701…I bought 12 of the small cups that are on sale for $1, used 4x $1 Qs and I rolled a $4 cat from my previous transaction that I got from the Degree deal..(2x$4 cat for buying 4 Degree deodorants mine are 2/$5) Not sure about other states but California has buy 10 General Mills products and get a $5 get for you next purchase…Well these can be rolled into you next GM purchase and when you buy 10 Hamburger Helpers you get a $5 cat and another $2 cat..Works out for a sweet deal on Hamburger Helper

    • Mariah

      Thanks for the info! I am going to the Albie’s on Milliken too! The Degree deal was not this week, right?

      • Carrie

        Its this week, buy 4 Degree for men or 4 for women and you will get $8 in cats

        • Mariah

          Carrie,
          Do I buy all four Degree together at once? Did you use coupons?
          Thanks!

    • JenL

      Where do the extra $2CAT on Hamburger Helper come from?

      • Carrie

        I forgot to read the cat, I just rolled them into the next transactions…The only reason i tried it was because another Coupon person posted a picutre of it in the brag lounge on thekrazycouponlady, she had a break down of buy 10 boxes of Hamburger Helper and get $5 for GM and $2 cat for buying 10 boxes. I had 2x$1q from the 8/7 GM plus a $5 cat from pg and paid $3, i got $5 cat onp and $2cat onp, 2nd transaction was 2x$1q, $5 cat and $2 cat total came out to $1 and the Cat printed another $5 and another $2 cat.

        • JenL

          WoW! Going to try in southern Cali today, Thanks!

      • Mariah

        It probably comes from buying a certain amount of hamburger helper. They have Cats all the time.

  12. Tammy

    I tried this in Washington and it did not work. I tried it at a store with the upgraded system.

    • anon

      Can I ask what city in WA? I am in WA too and am wondering if it will work at my store.

  13. Megan

    Anyone in the Midwest verify it’s working? I just don’t want to drag my 3 toddlers out to find out it’s not. 🙁

  14. Renee

    I tried in utah and it is not working. the have the new system so I believe that is why

  15. charla

    I tried this last night in Oregon and it did not work. No Cat printed.

  16. Emily

    It worked in Redmond, OR. Anyone know if it will work for the Dreyers fruit bars?

  17. Michelle

    It prints. I got it last night. Super excited! Also loving the 5.00 General Mills Catalina 🙂

  18. Kristina

    This deal is not working in Idaho, (overland store)

  19. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Anyone know about Phoenix, Arizona?

    We are Albertsons LLC which is a totally different Albertsons group than Utah/Idaho/No. Calif.

    • Melissa

      Mine is Albertsons LLC, too (in TX). Our ad doesn’t have any of the deals that other people are referencing. Went to the store today, and Dreyer’s was not 2/$6 – it was regularly priced at $4.99. 🙁

      is albertsons the same a jewel?

      Yes Jewel is owned by Albertsons
      I don’t know is that Kat will print for bying 2 ,
      you may have to buy 4 earlier this year Kat did print of the sale/shelf price,
      but for the past few months it been printing based on the preferred card price

  21. Zee

    My Albertson has never given me a Catalina coupon so I just stopped trying, 🙁 Bummer!

  22. Rachel

    Nope didn’t work for me in Portland either. Oh well, I’m really pregnant right now and was going to buy ice cream soon anyway and 2/5 is cheaper than what my husband paid the other night when I had a craving. 😀

  23. Kate

    Anyone try this in Kirkland, WA?

    • lu

      I was gonna go there tomorrow, I’ll let u know… if anyone else tried Kirkland, let us now. Thanks

  24. Tammy

    I tried it in Puyallup Wa. The one on 112th and Canyon Road.

  25. Jill

    Tried in Beaverton Oregon and the manage said the catalina was only going to print if I bought 4.

  26. tia

    poop. i got the $7 CATS on my $8 (after $1/5 Q’s) worth of 10 HHs, and took the $5 CAT (and my $1/2 Q) to pay for the Dreyers—had to pay $.36 tax for 2 containers of Rocky Road–love that the receipt said Savings….100%! yea! unfortunately (BOISE)–we have the new system, and it did NOT print a CAT. oh well, still a good deal if i figure the ice cream was free, 10 boxes of HH for $8, minus $2 bonus CAT is $6 is $.60 a box—meh….. (my hubs is annoyed because he wanted sweets last night and there wasn’t anything and i said i WASNT going to the store again—NOW we have RR!) 🙂

    • Yuki

      I bought 2 dryer’s today and it didn’t print, either. I’m bummed out!! I’m in Seattle, WA.

  27. Alicia

    Tried today in Albany, OR…did NOT print for me. I only bought 2.

  28. LILY

    IT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA

    • Tiffany

      So do I and it worked for me late last night.

  29. Karen (SoCal Coupon Gal)

    It’s an even better deal when you have your Albertson’s doubling coupons! Thanks for the heads up on a great deal! Now I just wish I had that extra freezer in my garage!

  30. Dara

    WooHoo!! Thank You for posting! Worked for me in MT. Bought 2 Dreyers and got the $4 CAT. Also bought 10 Hamburger Helpers and received both a $2 CAT and a $5 CAT. Not sure why the $2 CAT but hey, I’ll take it:) Anyone know if this is working on any of the other Nestle products with only buying 2 like the Dryers Fruit bars that are included in the sale?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Hi:) Where in MT? Im going to Missoula today.

      Thanks

    • Danyel

      Hi, Where in MT??? I am heading to Missoula Sunday.

      Thanks!

  31. julie

    Not working on 2 dryers in Boise. I had to buy 4.

  32. Stephanie

    I also tried it here in Utah and it did not work

  33. Kristine

    Im in 91709 and it didnt work at a store with an upgraded system and im not sure why??

  34. Caroline

    Didn’t work in Las Vegas 89123, but after coupon and double coupon from booklet came to $2 each which is a good enough deal for me 🙂

  35. Jaime

    I was a bad couponer and went to the store for an ice cream run tonight without coupons! LOL DD and I picked out 2 dryers and 1 box of drumsticks for the family and I got a $4 cat! I couldn’t figure out why until tonight when I read this! So it worked in Western WA!

  36. Adrianne

    On a side note. My Albertsons in Spring Valley, CA had Cat littler for $3.14 for 14 lbs. Arm and Hammer, Scoop away and purina. I was able to get them as low as $1.14 each. What a deal.
