Albertsons Monopoly Shop Play Win Spring 2015 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 three giveaway games Albertsons had (and the Rachel ray promotion 2 years ago)! Currently (February 5th 2015 - June 6th 2015) Albertsons is promoting their latest Board Game: Albertsons Shop, Play, Win, Monopoly Collect & Win Game.  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

Albertons Monopoly Game Board

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!!!

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 25 cent off coupon. However, occasionally this is a coupon redeemable online for some entry into a drawing or a coupon for more monopoly coupons.  If your desperate 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 Monopoly Collect and Win Game, look no further than the above table to see the rare pieces to win. And while I continue to have doubts that my local grocery store is making millionaires out of this game, I hope this makes the game easier to play and you can strategize your purchases accordingly! Good Lick!!
