Great Kool Aid Deal At University Safeway

I found this deal on Thurday night at the Safeway on University Ave.  I haven't had a chance to blog about it so I checked tonight to make sure there were a few packets left.  Well there were more than a few... there were about 8 display boxes full with a choice of two flavors, lemon/lime or watermelon/cherry.  The packets are regularly priced $.30 a packet.  The clearance sticker lowers the price to $.15.  The newsminer actually had two coupons in the inserts at the beginning of the month for Kool Aid.  One was Buy 2 Get 1 Free  and a Buy 10 Get 5 Free.  They automatically scanned off -$.25 and -$1.25.  If you have those coupons you can buy 18 for $1.20 ($2.70-$1.50).  Or you can get an even better deal and print a $.50 off a purchase of 5 packets HERE.  (Enter the Kool Aid giveaway on Facebook and they give you a coupon.  Make sure you hit the back button to print it twice.)  Using two of these coupons will score you 10 packets for $.50!  $.05 a packet!     

When I went to Safeway...

I saw advertised on another site that there was a B1G1 free sale on Tostidos plus free 2L Pepsi at Safeway.  I went to Safeway to take advantage of this deal and I found that there isn't a buy on get on free sale on the tostidos but they are on sale for something like $2.65 (which was cheaper than if they were BOGO because buying two on sale was cheaper than buying one at regular price, over $6).  But the coupons I found were hanging on the soda bottles and were buy two bags of tostidos, get one 2 liter pepsi free.  And this is very important..... one free pepsi coupon per transaction.  If you do multiple coupons they scan but it doesn't come off your bill.  That is at least what I came across.   

Notable Safeway Deals

I have no time to post but wanted to let you all know that there is a spend $75 receive $10 catalina coupon at Safeway available on Friday (yesterday) and Saturday (Today!).  According to Safeway Facebook page, "per #12 of our coupon policy: minimum purchase requirements are calculated AFTER club card savings, and BEFORE manufacturer’s coupons."  Though my total was $82 something after club card savings and $57 something after coupons and it didn't print.  So I just called catalina.

Second, hidden behind the deal flap on the first page is the glorious $5/$15 frozen food coupon.  I ended up paying $3.49 last night for $15.49 worth of frozen food.  WooHoo!  I don't know how I missed that coupon for 2 days but at least I saw finally saw it.

Third, 75% off select books near the Easter items at the mall enterance to the North Pole Safeway.  Basically cookbooks and children's books.  Most were a final price of $1.75.  They were good, educational, hard cover books to boot.  If I get a chance I will post my grocery picture tonight.  This deal runs through the 29th.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Saturday!  And just want to add that I am a huge fan of the North Pole Safeway cashiers!  

My Shopping Trip

*Tomorrow is the last day to enter Progresso giveaway!

Lately Safeway is my favorite place to shop.  It seems like they have had a few excellent deals over the past couple weeks.  My mother-in-law got me a really good book about being prepared for an emergency.  I would love some feedback on how large a stockpile you have or would like to have on hand in groceries.  The book suggests a year.  So I'm starting small.  I honestly don't think I have enough room for a year supply in our home.  Maybe 4 months.  My husband's Mountain Dew habit would take up half the pantry alone.  So when I find a good deal I stock up thinking 4 months ahead.  These are my good deals from Sunday...

The original price of all these groceries was $110.87 but I paid $20.68.  A total savings of 81%!  A lot of the savings had to do with the 50% clearance shelf.  I'm not an advocate of clearing a shelf when you find a good deal but I will put a lot in my cart if they are on the clearance shelf.  If it isn't sold soon it's going in the trash.

The Joy of Football Cpn List From Safeway Stores

I think I saw a sign for The Joy of Football coupon book in every aisle of the North Pole, AK Safeway last night but the only place to actually find the book was at a display at the front of the store (only 3) and a few at customer service.  The store was dead last night and the display was empty when I left.  It looks like it can only hold about 15 at a time so that could be why they are always out.  I don't know why they made the holder so small knowing these things are packed with over $70 of savings!

Fred Meyer and Safeway Catalina List

It has been a couple weeks since I have done any serious grocery shopping.  I think my husband is starting to get a little annoyed that all the food in our house needs to be prepared.  He is more a microwave cook.  So this week I need to plan a serious grocery trip.  I'm going to hit Safeway and Freds and I'm going to hit them hard.  I'm thinking the damage will be about 3 grocery carts full between the two.  The cupboards look that empty.  And it is even worse since (bragging) my husband and father-in-law built me a new pantry.  It is amazing, huge, and in need of food.  I went to my favorite blog sites to get a good catalina list but found they were all sparse or expired.  So today I spent way to much time putting together a list and can only justify the time spent if I share it with you.  :)

Safeway's Buy 8, Save $4.00 Deals STILL VALID PLUS MORE!

Tonight I did a last minute trip to Safeway.  I put all that work into my list and it almost went to waste because I was sick.  I did the savy thing and checked next weeks sales (it posts at 8pm on Tuesday) and noticed more Buy 8, Save $4.00 items.  I saw some were the same and some were new.  I decided to update my list (on paper, it isn't in the computer yet). 

While I was actually in Safeway I noticed every single item with the Buy 8, Save $4.00 tag runs until the 15th.  The flyer in last weeks ad said those deals ran until the 8th.  Wrong!  Keep that flyer! 

I almost feel like we have a double flyer week.  I know it is only $.50 discounts but most of items are marked with a Reg Price... Club Price... and then the $.50 discount.

 

Safeway's Buy 8, Save $4.00 Deals

The most important thing to state about this sale would be that it is a mix and match deal. You don't have to buy 8 2Liter bottles of Pepsi to get them for $1.00. You can pick 8 items on the list. I like picking my items before I go. If I don't choose my items, I buy more than what I need, because I'm trying to meet the 8 item minimum. I get to the check out and I have 15 items. Maybe I could do without the 3rd bottle of ketchup.

New Coupon Book at Safeway!

I didn't plan on posting many things this week because of the yard sale we are having. There is a lot to go through and I just want to get it over with and out of the way. But an unexpected errand put me in North Pole today so I decided to hit the bank to get small bills (the bank is in the back of Safeway). I just couldn't help but enjoy a good browse through the store. I got some great deals I may post about later but it is a little to late to start on my grocery spreadsheet (I love spreadsheets!).

I was ecstatic to find a new coupon book in the dairy aisle. It has some really good coupons that I just don't come across. The value on them is good, not amazing. And the book is full of recipes.
