Safeway Savings This Weekend

Right now (January 18 - 24, 2012) Safeway supermarket is having some amazing deals.  If you live an area with a Safeway grocery store, I highly recommend visiting them.  First and foremost, you need to get a Safeway sales paper.  Not only will it tell you all the sales items, there are a number of incredible coupon deals.

If you are like me, you are probably already clipping coupons from the packets that come in the newspaper each weekend.  What you may not know is you can use the manufacturer coupons you find in the Sunday paper along with the store coupons at Safeway.  Also, if the coupon is below 99 cents or less, Safeway will double it.  This equals unbelievable savings right now.  It is a great time to stock up. 

I just came from Safeway and I would like to share some of the bargains I got:

V8 Fusion Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Regular price: $3.99

Safeway Club sale price: $2.49

Store coupon: - .50

Manufacturer's coupon: .75 doubled (total -$1.50)

TOTAL PRICE PAID: 49 cents!

If you know anything about V8 Fusion, you know this is an excellent deal.  Even when it is on sale at stores like Target or Walmart, the price rarely goes below $2.50.

Another example is:

Prego Vegetable Smart Pasta Sauce

Regular price: $2.99

Safeway Club sale price: $1.99

Safeway coupon: - .50

Manufacturer's coupon: - $1.00 (However, 2 jars had to be purchased to get this price, so it was 50 cents off per jar.) 

TOTAL PRICE PAID:  99 cents!

Even if you ordinarily shop at another grocery store, or perhaps you go to a discount store like Walmart for juice, pasta sauce, and that type of thing, you should give Safeway a try this weekend.  It is important to have the Safeway coupons and the manufacturer coupons, too.  If you do that, you will save way beyond what you would save at a discount store this weekend.

Some other sale and coupon items that are a bargain:

• Gatorade
• Nature Valley granola bars
• Hot dog and hamburger buns (Safeway brand)
• Morningstar Farms frozen foods
• Glad containers
• Tide
• Cheerios
• Pantene
• 7 Up
• Colgate
• Pop Secret popcorn
• Duracell

 In the end, I saved a total of 40% on my grocery bill.  I would have probably saved more if I did not buy a couple of items I absolutely needed, but were not on sale.  Happy shopping!

Shop at Safeway

I am not sure if Safeway grocery stores are located all over the U.S., but if you live near one, you should visit it this weekend.  If possible, grab a Safeway sales paper before going.  There are a number of sale items and coupons available in the paper this weekend.  You can buy everything from detergent to cherries at a really low price.

So what you are you doing still reading this blog?  You'd better get up and go to Safeway right now!  You don't want to miss the opportunity to buy cereal for $1.88 do you?  Didn't think so!

Superfresh is Closing! Get Your Cheap Groceries Now!

I will be the first to admit I always feel a little guilty when a store is closing and I run in to buy cheap stuff as fast as possible.  In all honesty, it is cashing in on someone else's failure.  It is really sad.  It almost feels like a loved one has died and I am combing through their stuff looking for valuables.

Sadly, I do feel like this when it comes to the supermarket Superfresh closing.  It was once A & P and has been opened for decades.  Slowly, the stores have been closing one by one.  Now, one of the last in this area is closing.  If you live in the Baltimore area, start looking around at the Superfresh stores and ask when they are shutting down and when the Going Out of Business Sale will begin. 

No matter how sad I am about it closing, the store now has 30% off on practically everything.  In some areas you may only see 10% off or even as much as 50% off, but for now, most items are 30%.  Even though it is sad - 30% off!  Come on, if you don't buy it, some other bargain hunter will.  So for now, it is the right time to scope out the last remaining Superfresh stores and get a good deal.
