Grocery Store +Family Dinners = #mamachallenge. The Real Moms’ Guide to Surviving the Grocery Store gives you a REAL strategy on how to get it done with the help of your smartphone. Thanks to Albertsons, there’s no need for notebooks, forms, or planning with the free just for U™ savings app. This is a sponsored post, but all comments here are all my own.
As a mom, and the planner of the family, I have good intentions of being organized.
I’ve shared the praises of meal planning.
I’ve demonstrated how to make a week’s worth of meals from one protein.
I’ve even found ways to make dinner more exciting for your kids by taking inspiration from their lunchbox.
But I’ll be honest: it doesn’t happen like that. And definitely not for our family.
With our crazy schedule, it seems like the start of marathon starts every day at 6 am and it’s a race all day until I a) hit the wall or b) fall asleep while snuggling my kids in their bed.
So when I go to the grocery store it normally is in a mad dash to grab just what I need and I’m definitely not saving any money with coupons (since they are sitting at home, but never get used.)
However, when Albertsons just debuted their new just for U™ app to Dallas-Fort Worth, things changed.
Now, as I’m running in any Albertsons store at a moment’s notice, the just for U™ app allows me to easily discover and use digital coupons and then when I get to the line, type in my phone number, and all my digital coupons and offers (savings of up to 20% off) are automatically taken off my total. No ads, no flyers, no clipping, no notebooks and no planning to save money. Johnny on the spot.
And on the weeks when I do have a little more time, I can also use the app to create my grocery list for when I have time to do “a big shopping” trip to restock everything!
Best of all, the more you use it, the better it gets! Since offers on the just for U™ app are based on the users’ purchase history and then organized in a digestible way, what you’ll see on your app are the things you buy and the offers that apply to you.
And that’s why it’s called just for U™ app!
To use the just for U™ app
- Download the app for your iOS or the Android phone.
- Tap “Sign Up Now” on the welcome screen.
- Fill out the registration form and hit submit.
- Select a nearby store you want to view offers for.
- Add offers to your just for U account.
- Use the list in store for an easy reminder.
- Enter your phone number at checkout to redeem the offers.

I am so bad in the grocery store. I never bring the kids, but my eyes are always bigger than my stomach.
Now that is a great app. We all want to save money but it takes way too much time to do coupons (for my family anyway). I will definitely be checking out this app, anything that saves money while making life a little easier is worth looking at! Wish I had known yesterday when I was there doing my grocery shopping.
Safeway introduced Just for U about 10 years ago. I love it! Apparently I’ve saved close to a thousand dollars since the program began!
Wow, that’s incredible!! I wish I had a store around here that was like that!
We’ve been using Just For U with Vons for years now and I love the convenience- I can check for coupons right in store! We even get custom deals based on our family’s shopping habits. It’s great the program is coming to Albertsons!
In a perfect world I would say I always meal plan, but we all know this is not a perfect world and I know most the time I don’t plan until the day of. I know I need to it saves so much money. I’ll have to check into this app.
What an awesome app! Having two small kids at the store with me, I always love finding easier ways to shop!
Sounds like a really great app! I have 6 kids, but never take them all to the store at once unless I HAVE to…. but would love to make any of my shopping trips easier like this!
I really should check this app out! I am all up for savings and this sounds like a really flawless way to do it.

I love coupons and savings, and I love a good app! This sounds like one I need to download.
I always wish I had time to do coupons because I know I can save money that way. I think this app would be a great value for moms at the grocery store.
Now that’s the way it should be done. I love that automatic coupon deduction!
I will tell this to my wife. That sounds a great app! That would be helpful for sure.
I hate grocery shopping. I can’t stand it. I am glad I saw this article with some tips on things that can make the experience less onerous for me.
This is a really cool way to keep your sanity while you are in the grocery store! I about lose my mind every time.
I hate grocery shopping with kids or even the husband. I will need to look into this.
I think I lose my mind every time I go to the grocery store with children lol. If I go by myself it’s like a vacation, I swear. That doesn’t happen often so this is very helpful.
