Safeway Ad 5/5 - 5/11

[tealover]

Here is what I plan to do, haven't gone yet.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch: 1.49, use .55 ip (and .55 cellfire if kosher) = free to overage.

There are IPs for the V-8 fusion juice and Welchs for 1.00/1.

All detergent 2.99 w/supercoupon in my ad, use 1.00/1 IP (oxi-active only).

Ball park angus hot dogs are BOGO, 4.99 at my store. Use .75/1 ip doubled = 3.49 for 2 packs.

Glad trash bags w/supercoupon 4.99. No other coupons I can see, but that is a fantastic price.

Wacy Mac is showing 1.00 at my Genaurdis store. Use the .50/1 IP to get it free!

Here is my attempt at the buy 2, get 3 promo. We'll see if it works.
2 cake mix
2 frosting
1 cookie mix
- (2) .75/2 cake/frosting ip or mfr
- .40/1 cookie mix mfr
- .75/1 cake mix cellfire
- 1.00/2 cookie mix and frosting cellfire

There is also a hot deal on Old Spice deoderant and body wash if they have the right varieties and it works.

2 OS fresh collection deodorant
2 OS odor blocking body wash
- 2 BOGO deodorant/body wash mfr
- 3.00/2 fresh collection deodorant P&G esaver
- 3.00/2 odor blocking body wash P&G esaver

Funny, this is pretty similar to the trip I did tonight!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch worked as you stated and was $0.16 moneymaker.
Wacky Mac was free with the IP.
I did exact same Betty Crocker combo/Q's except I had two $1 CF and two $0.75 CF so they ended up paying me $3.72 to buy them!

Also get a Betty Crocker Warm Delight, $2.49 - $0.75Q doubled, - two $1 CF and $.50 Shortcuts, made this $1.51 moneymaker

I thought Safeway Peanut butter was a good price at 99c with SuperQ

Did Buy 5 Juice promo, 2 CapriSun $1.49 - $1Q = .49 each, 2 Welch's $1.99 - $1Q = .99 each (there were also hangtags for $1 on these at my store), 1 V8 Fusion $1.99 - $1 IP = .99 each

Del Monte Chillers $1.99 - $1Q - $1CF = Free

Ziploc bags $2.49 - $1 SuperQ - $0.55 doubled Q = $0.39

Safeway Country Bread $1.39 after SuperQ

I bought all the above, added some bananas, got 4 of the peanut butters, and only paid $4.83 including tax. Not bad.

Went back again this morning, did the Betty Crocker deal again with only manu Q's, I have no eQ's left! They only paid me 32 cents to buy it this time.

More free Wacky Mac & Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I can only buy them one at a time since my store only lets me use one of the same IP in a trip.

I noticed last night that Honey Nut Cheerios are also $1.49, and there is a .55 ShortCuts eq, plus .55c IP doubled = 0.16 moneymaker.

Couldn't resist Pepperidge Farm cookies $2 - $1 IP = $1

Tried the P&G deal, they didn't have the body wash so no go there, but I did get the Old Spice Fresh Collection Anti-Persp. (actually 2 of them) for $3.99, then used B1G1 Q from 5/2 P&G, then used P&G eq, so $7.98 - $3.99 - $3 = $.99 for 2. Looking at my receipt I see they cost me an extra .48 cents in tax!

Now all that is left is for my wife & daughter to start making those cakes! My son's birthday today so we have an excuse (as if we really need one).

Thanks for all the info, Mike! I hope to get there tomorrow.

One more deal I'm adding to my list...

If you "Like" Nabisco 100 Cal packs on Facebook, you can print out 2 BOGO coupons. (YMMV b/c it's an IP and has the word "free" in it.) There is also a catalina deal going on until 5/16 (see cat threads).

Buy 4 boxes 10.00
- 5.00 bogo coupons
5.00 oop, get 3.00 back

I did the Nabisco 100 cat deal and it worked perfectly, got a 3.00 cat.

I am such an idiot. I brought too much attention to myself with my coupons. I did the Nabisco transaction first to get the 3.00 cat. Then, I did the Betty crocker b2g3 deal and the old spice deal (my store had the body wash and deodorant!). With all my coupons it was below 3.00, so I kept adding stuff. They cashier got wise to my dwindling total and pulled the receipt. She then went over to the manager and had a chat with him. She then came back and said I couldn't use paper coupons with my e-coupons. WAHHHHHHHH!! I played dumb and said, "Oh really? I've been doing this since they came out." The manager and cashier were really nice about it. The manager said something to the effect of "They've caught onto it and you can't do that now. You got some really good deals up until now;)"

Obviously, it will all still go through on self-checkout. But, I will have to fly under the radar now if I want to use all coupons.

It was all kind of silly because the cashier put in the wrong amounts for all of my bogo coupons (gave me the shelf price off instead of sale price). Most of my planned transaction went through before she caught on, so I got what I wanted.

She then went over to the manager and had a chat with him. She then came back and said I couldn't use paper coupons with my e-coupons.

I would email corporate and get them to verify this because I'm sure I read somewhere on their web site that it was ok to use both (not ok to get overage I'm sure). Do it via email though so you can print it out and show it to them if you need to next time.
