Albertsons Sizzlin' Summer Giveaway Rare Game Pieces

I have never been this excited about a Grocery store "spend more on stuff you don't need" Promotion Game.... since the last game Albertsons had! Currently (May 16th 2012 - August 21st 2012) Albertsons is promoting their latest Board Game: Sizzlin' Summer Giveaway.  We have seen these types of games done before, notably the famous McDonalds Monopoly game. For this Albertsons game, the rules are simple.

• Buy products at Albertsons (especially the ones with the "Win Big" stickers near the price tag)
• Redeem your recipe for a booklet with 4 game pieces and 1 coupon/Entry Code at the register
• Fill in a game board with the game pieces
• Check This Blog to see if you have a rare Albertsons game piece

The idea is to fill in the 4-6 game pieces to win the particular prize category. The trick with these types of monopoly games is that they leave one piece to be very hard to obtain, thus making the prize hard to win. To make things a bit easier to tell if you should even worry about getting a game board and licking the game pieces to fill in the different prizes, here is a list of the "hard" items to obtain to win the entire prize. Some reward categories are still being determined which game piece is the rare one, but as information is known, the table below will be updated!!!

Reward	Rare Piece Game Number	Chances you might actually win this prize*
$1,000,000 Cash Reward (paid over 30 years)	SC04	Forget about it. Very Very unlikely. Do not plan on winning this prize.

$25,000 Backyard Makeover	SC22 or SC25	What if you don't have a backyard?
$5,200 Groceries for a Year	SC30 or SC31	20 available, so not impossible, but still very unlikely.
$5,000 ATV or Camping Package	SC32 or SC34	20 available, so not impossible but still very unlikely. This is a very cool prize however!!
$1,000 Gas Grill	SC37	Cooking over coals is better than gas anyways.
$500 REI Gift Card	SC43	Semi likely if you obtain a lot of tickets. REI Spending Spree!!!!
$250 Albertsons Gift Card	SC45	Do you really need that many groceries?
$250 Weekend Getaway	SC50	250 available, so not likely but worth playing for.

$50 Gift Card Mall Gift Card	SC61	Kinda Likely
$20 Albertsons Gift Card	SC67	Is this even a prize? Likely if you collect 10 game pieces a day for 100 days.
$10 Cash	SC69	10 bucks, Woot woot!!
$5 Cash	SC74	Not worth playing the game for this one but cool if you win!
$2 Cash	SC77	125,000 available. Depends upon how many people play.
$10,000 Family Vacation	SC82 or SC83	10 prizes available. Family's greater than 4 need not apply.

The table above can be used as a reference to see if your game piece is of value, or just another run of the mill game pieces. Each booklet also provides a free coupon for some random item within Albertsons, this is usually a measly 50 cent off coupon. However, occasionally this is a Coupon redeemable online for some entry into a drawing. This is a nice upgrade from their last game when they made you send in (snail mail.. Blahhh) game pieces on an index card. If your desprate for more pieces, you may try a search on ebay or craigslist for what people are selling: Albertsons Monoploy Pieces on Ebay. If your really desperate be sure to ask your friends and local register trash cans for additional tickets. If your looking at How to Win the Albertsons Sizzlin, Summer Giveaway, look no further than the above table to see the rare pieces to win. I hope this makes the game easier to play and you can strategize your purchases accordingly! Good Lick!!

*Odds are completely made up. They are based roughly on how many prizes they give away. Don't take them seriously.
