I know that many of you are busy rockin’ the deals at Safeway this week and I’m glad to hear it! If you have not gotten in on any deals lately due to summer busyness, this shopping trip from reader Jill might encourage you to get going again. Here is what she had to say about it:
It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to stock up big time on some snack stuff. I spent a little more than I like on a few things, but I was getting quite nervous going into the start of school with almost an almost empty snack and cereal stockpile. :/ So, I went for it. Might go grab a few more, now that I know about the catalina. 🙂 On this trip I was able to get 9 boxes of cereal, 9 fruit snacks, 5 cereal bars, 4 protein granola bars, 9 fiber one bars/brownies, 2 loaves of bread, english muffins, 3 packs of tuna, and over 3lb of grapes for $25, after subracting catalinas. My original total, before club card was $161.38. Now that makes me HAPPY!
Thanks again for ALL you do. I’ve been couponing with you for a few years now. This summer has been VERY tight on the budget. Couponing has gotten us through. Thanks so much for teaching me all I know!
Congrats on your awesome trip Jill! I’d certainly say that you are well on your way to a fantastic back to school stockpile. 😉

WOW! Safeway is my main store, as it’s closest & I don’t have a car, and my average is around 45 – 55%….You Rock! I’m a single person, & use a bag on wheels to haul my stuff, so that limits some things, but I do go in & get just the loss leaders with coupons. (Mostly) (Ice cream being my weakness)…..You really have it down!

Great Job!

Jill says
LOL mine were in heaven. Seems like it’s been a while since we’ve stocked up on “kid” stuff!
Justyna says
What did you buy and how many to get the catalinas?
Hazel says
Heyo Justyna … if you go to the Safeway match-ups, there’s oodles of chatter on the cats that will point you in the right direction, HTH 🙂
Jill says
Thanks Hazel! I’ll have to go back to that post and read the chatter too! 🙂 Justyna I bought 4 nature valley and got a $2 cat. I bought like 9 fiber one and got a $3 cat. I would bet 5 or 6 gets the $3.
Faith says
Wow! Very impressive!

I went to the Highlands Ranch Safeway last night (Broadway & HRP) – the store is a mess (they are in the middle of a remodel) but because of this they had MASSIVE clearance 50% off on TONS of different items! If you are in the area you might want to check it out – and bring your coupon binder, the deals are too numerous to mention!!! =)
Hazel says
Way to go Jill – what a haul!
For all the times I whine about various Safeway locations I’ll have to bow down to them this week. They really tossed some great pitches so that we could knock it totally out of the park!

I wish we had a better variety of grocery stores in our area!!
