Safeway and Albertsons Deals

I know that it will probably be too late for most of you to cash in on these deals but I had to share! I dragged my two small children to eight different stops in town today (two of which were bank drive thrus and one was McDonalds PlayLand) and I think the results were worth it.


Everything pictured above cost me $8.77 out of pocket and I will submit my receipt for a $10 rebate which actually means I made money grocery shopping today!

I did my big Safeway trip yesterday but wanted to get another 5 boxes of Nabisco crackers while they are still on super sale (sale ends today!). I got 5 yesterday and the 5 I bought today qualifies me for the $10 rebate so all these crackers are actually making me money. I bought 10 boxes in December as well so we are well stocked for crackers. In fact I see several of these boxes making their way to the Food Bank!

I liked some of the deals in the Albertsons Sunday Ad and wanted to use some of the doublers so I made an Albertsons trip as well. I didn't realize the Oroweat coupon I had wouldn't work (would have made the loaf $.44!) but got it anyways. The free coffee creamer I'm donating to the Indoor Park my kids and I attend and the free hot chocolate will be used for MOPS.

Local Deals at Winco & Safeway

I made a trip to Winco today to buy some bulk candy to finish up my Halloween candy collection. I picked up a few bags of the "good" candy with coupons at Safeway and Walgreens and use the $.98 a lb bulk Winco candy to fill in. My 4 year old daughter helped me pick the candy so if you come by our house you're likely to get pink candy. Thankfully very few kids (other then my daughter) care what color their candy is!

Safeway Clearance Tutorial

I stumbled upon THIS post about how to find great deals at Safeway by checking out the clearance section and thought I'd share it. Safeway is my primary grocery store and I know it is for everyone else in my town since it's the ONLY grocery store here! I've gotten a few good deals from the clearance section but after reading this post I'm inspired to look more often!
