Update 11/17/22: Jo Jo has confirmed that despite the wording on the coupon stating you need to spend $125 on groceries to redeem the $25 coupon, that’s apparently not being enforced. It seemed weird that there was that requirement included considering it wasn’t listed in the description of the offer in the ad, so perhaps they copied and pasted terms from a different offer and forgot to delete that part.
Update 11/17/22: Inf has shared an image of the coupon in the comments below. Unfortunately it says that the $25 coupon is valid on a minimum spend of $125 on groceries. That’s extremely shady behavior considering that’s not disclosed in the description of the offer.
Update 11/16/22: Jo Jo has shared in the comments that the $25 coupons are printing off with an expiry date of December 27. That’s two weeks after the end of the promotion and, depending on when you take advantage of this offer, an additional 6 weeks to redeem the coupon. Keep an eye on the $25 coupons you receive though in case it differs by brand or if they fix this seeing as the ad says they’re only supposed to last 7 days from the date of issuance.

Tips & Ideas
If you value the $25 coupon at face value, this works out to be a 16.67% discount. That could make brands like Lowe’s and Macy’s of interest for resellers.
These types of deals sometimes seem to be regional, but hopefully this one is available at all stores. It’s showing in at least some ads for both the Just For U side of Albertsons (Safeway, Tom Thumb, Acme, Jewel-Osco, etc.) as well as the Rewards! side (Albertsons Markets, United Supermarkets and Market Street).
Note that there’s no digital coupon to clip for this deal. Instead, the $25 coupon should print off automatically when buying $150 of participating gift cards.
What I’m not sure about is if you can redeem multiple $25 coupons on a large grocery shop, or if redemption is limited to one per basket. If anyone knows how this works from past occasions when this type of deal has been run, please let us know in the comments below.
Coupon is good for about a month this time.
Is that what’s printed on the coupon you got then, as the ad says it’s valid for 7 days? If so, which store was it you bought the gift cards at – I’m curious if it differs by brand.
Purchased at Albertsons today. Did 3 separate Tx. Expires 12/27/2022. I actually thought it expired in a week like last time but the cashier noticed the much longer expiration date.
Thanks! That’s good news 🙂
Says expiration 12/27. Albertsons.
Personally, I would not risk keeping the coupon past the 7-day period set out in the ad no matter what it says. At least at my nearest Albertsons-owned store, they have a strict “If it doesn’t scan as valid, we can’t help you policy.” I have lost track of the number of times I have been told to call the 800 number (which accomplishes nothing) when facially valid coupons did not, for whatever reason, scan as valid. Fortunately, I live in an urban area with about a dozen Albertsons-owned stores within a 15-minute driving radius, so I can always try elsewhere — but it’s a pain.
Not as good as it looks like.

Ugh, that sucks.
Mine has that language, too, but I I’ve already used 3 coupons and they’re all coming off of small orders. I paid $.94 for a $25.94 order, $2.04 for a $47.04 order ($25 coupon + $20 in rewards) and I separately used one this morning for a small amount at a different location.
Awesome! I wonder if they just copied & pasted terms from a past offer. Thanks for confirming that.
This goes live at Shaw’s in Maine tomorrow. I’ll test it on Monday and report back
Ditto. Multiple uses almost immediately, all worked on $25+ before taxes. Still showing 12/27 expiration.
Hopefully it stays that way because I just got 4 more today
Also confirmed that the coupon worked for any $25+ purchase before tax.
This also earns 3 rewards points each time you do it, which brings the return up a bit more.
FYI if you try to use rewards AND the $25 off coupon, the rewards will not work. In fact, the even basket rewards will come off after initially showing. F’ing headache.
How do I get a copy of the old weekly add, to show the manager and make sure I get my $25.
Update: searched online. It is in the weekly flyer labelled “Black Friday”, not by the date.
