Saving Money at Safeway - Day After the Beach Edition

Sunday I was dog-tired from a fabulous day at the beach with my hubbie and littles. The last thing I wanted to do is go to the grocery store - sans hubbie. He was at work. But with a little planning, I was able to get in and out of the grocery store quickly. You can do it too! This is what I did to make my life easier.

1. I prepped my grocery list on Thursday night by matching my coupons to the sales ad. I knew that I wouldn't be home on Friday night so I did this ahead of time.

2. I checked my favorite blogs to make sure I didn't miss any great deals.

3. I went to Safeway's website and created my shopping list using their weekly ad. Their site is soooo easy to use. :) All you do is click the items you want to ad and print.

4. The most important thing of all when shopping with children. I promised them a treat if they were good!

Here are a couple of the great deals I was able to snag....

Safeway Trip 5.23.10

I ran out to Safeway with my best girl this morning. My son had a nosebleed in the middle of the night and was very tired from all the commotion so he and Daddy slept in this morning. Poor little guy. :( My mission was soda, cereal, and dishwasher tabs plus I picked up a few other things.

Safeway Deals

We are predicted to get 20-30 inches of snow in our area. Huge storm! My work let us out early so we could get home before the major weather started. I decided to stop by Safeway on my way home to grab a couple of deals. One of the deals I wanted was only from 2/5-2/7 and I didn't want to chance not being able to run out again to grab it.

Here's the breakdown:

We rarely buy it, but a frozen pizza is great to have in the freezer on those nights you are just plain tired and tempted to order takeout. You can throw the pizza in the oven and toss together a garden salad instead of eating out and that saves big bucks. :)

Safeway Trip 1/9/10

Another fantastic Safeway trip! I went just to grab the "deals." My hubbie did our main shopping trip at Wegman's this week for produce, milk, bread and meat.

Safeway Deals

I have never been a big Safeway shopper but they have recently had some awesome deals that I have taken advantage of. Safeway is unique in that you can load digital coupons onto your club card AND they can be used in conjunction with a "paper" coupon. I have known about this for awhile but have not tried to take advantage of it. I was inspired to give it a try the other day when my friend told me how much she was saving at Safeway (thanks, Lisa!). Some examples of the great deals I got using e-coupons and paper coupons together.

Bisquick Baking Mix, $2.59 each
-.60/1 Cellfire E-coupon
-.60/1 Shortcuts E-coupon
-.60/1 MQ from insert, doubled
Total: 19 cents!!!

(2) Green Giant Frozen Boxed Veggies, $1.29 each
-.50/1 X 2 Cellfire E-coupon
-.50/1 Shortcuts E-coupon
-.50/2 printable MQ, doubled
Total: 4 cents each!!!!

As you see, you can load e-coupons from different sites. When you purchase an item all the e-coupons loaded on your card for a particular item will be used. So if you have 3 different e-coupons loaded, they will all apply to one item. You can still use a paper coupon for the item as well. This is a great way to pick up some super cheap products. I was also able to get 2 cans of Dole Tropical Fruit for 25 cents each and 3 boxes of Chex Cereal for $1 each. :)

If you are a Safeway Club Card holder, you can load coupons to your card from Softcoin, Shortcuts, PGeSaver, and Cellfire. Safeway even has e-coupons on their site, which is where I found the e-coupon for the Dole fruit. I am loving Safeway e-coupons and can't wait to take advantage of them again.

Safeway - I rocked out a cracker deal!

Safeway has an awesome deal on Nabisco crackers this week! Buy 5 boxes of select Nabisco crackers and get $5 instantly off your shopping order. You can do this deal multiple times in the same transaction. For example if you buy 10 boxes, you will get $10 off or buy 15 boxes, get $15 off. I needed to buy my Sunday newspapers so I headed over this morning. While I was there, I picked up a couple of other items that were on sale.

4 Wheat Thins, $2.49 each
4 Triscuit, $2.49 each
1 Honey Maid Graham Crackers, $2.99 each
1 Macaroni and Cheese Crackers, $1.99 each
-$3/4 X 2 MQ peelie (you can find these on various Budweiser posters in the beer section)
-$1/2 MQ from Nabisco Back to School booklet
-$10 for buying 10 boxes :)
Final Price: 79 cents each

2 containers of Driscoll berries, $2.00 each (BOGO)
-$.50/1 X 2 printable MQ, doubled
Final Price: $1 each

2 Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, $1.99 each
-$1/2 Post Cereals, 12/6 SS
Final Price: $1.49 each

Total before coupons: 32.87
Coupons/Promotions: 20.00
OOP: $12.87

Not to mention that I received a $1 OYNO for buying 2 Post Cereals. I had no idea that was going to print but it was a nice bonus. I will also mail away for the Kraft Keep the Jingle in your Holiday rebate that I told you about last week. If you take off the $10.00 rebate and the surprise $1 OYNO my total for this order would be $1.87!!!!!!

Safeway 10.24.09

I don't normally shop at Safeway but I received a tip (Thanks, Lisa!) that they had an awesome deal this weekend on select Nabisco crackers. So the kids and I headed over there this afternoon. Here's how we did....

What I got:

9 Assorted boxes of Wheat Thin Crackers (I can't wait to try the Artisan Vermont Cheddar Wheat Thins) - $1.38 each
2 Ragu Spaghetti Sauces - $1.50 each
1 Ragu Alfredo Sauce - $1.50 each

Coupons Used:

-$1/1 x 3 Wheat Thins printable (only available to Kraft First Taste members)
-$1/1 x 2 Wheat Thins Artisan peelies (peelies are coupons that are stuck to the outsite of the box)
-$1/2 x 2 Nabisco Crackers MQ
-$1.25/3 Ragu Pasta Sauces

Total after sales and coupons: $9.09

I can now also mail away for the Kraft Keep the Jingle Your Holiday rebate. After rebate this is a moneymaker for me. Here is how it breaks down.

1. Buy 10 Nabisco crackers.

2. I bought one box last week at Target for .99. ($2.99 minus $2 MQ from Kraft First Taste)

3. Purchased 9 boxes at Safeway today.

1.38 X 9 = $12.42 - $7 in coupons = $5.42 + .99 (crackers I bought at Target) = $6.41

4. Mail away for $10.00 Kraft Rebate.

5. Eat 10 boxes of delicious crackers for FREE plus make $3.59 ($10 rebate minus $6.41 paid for crackers).

Have I ever told you that I love rebates matched with sales and coupons?
