A Safeway Scenario that is easy

Have the Safeway deals been too confusing?
Let me give you a simple scenario:

Go into Safeway and buy these items:

20 Yoplait yogurts
4 Arrowhead flip top waters
2 cans of Del Monte vegetables
2 bags of No Yolk Noodles
1 refill pack of Huggies wipes

Print two .75/1 coupons for No Yolk noodles from smartsource.com
Print two $1/8 Yoplait coupon from eatbetteramerica.com (you will have to register)
Grab one .75 off coupon for Huggies wipes. From the paper or home mailers if you have kids.

Cut out the double coupon from the Safeway ad

If you total all the above before coupons, it is $30.95
Subtract off the coupons
Total is $24.7

Once you have paid you will receive
$10 for your next purchase
$2 off for next purchase from Yoplait
$4 off your next purchase from Arrowhead

Meaning that for $8.70 you got all the above groceries. If you have a $10 from a previous purchase, you really are making money on this one!

There are tons of other ways to do this transaction, but this is one that I did recently and found all these items to be useful and I plan to do it again before tuesday.

Speaking about couponing twice in the next weeks.

For those of you who would like to know more about couponing or have a friend that wants to learn, I wanted to let you know about two upcoming opportunities. Next Thursday, May 7th I will be speaking at Moms Equipped, a moms bible study at Eugene Faith Center. Time is 9:30-11:30 and it is in Rm 109. The following week I am doing a class at Faith Center for anyone of any age on Wednesday May 13th from 9:30-11:30. Childcare is provided at both. Hope to see you or meet you!

Walgreens Got 2 Be stylers CHEAP

This week at Walgreens, the Got 2 Be stylers are 2 for $10 and when you buy 2 you get a $5 catalina for your next purchase. I also found $2 off coupons on the Got2Be Facebook page. You can print 2 of these so I paid $6 for a hairspray and get and got a $5 catalina back. I will use that to buy the Nivea Body Wash for $4.49 and something else that I need (filler item) and then I will get a $4.49 catalina for the Nivea. Maybe I can roll that on another item next week. They usually have a two week expiration.

Ziploc freezer bags at Safeway

Another great item that is part of the Living Well Promo is the Ziploc freezer bags. I bought two of these today toward my $30 purchase and out came a catalina for $1.25 off my next purchase compliments of Ziploc

So,here is the math:

2/$5 2 Ziploc freezer bags
-30% since they are part of the spend $30 get $10 back
=$3.35/2 boxes
-$1.25 on your next purchase catalina
=$2.10 for two boxes of freezer bags (quart and gallon both worked)

Plus if you have any manufacturers coupons, they will come off additionally. I had a $1/2 from a coupon booklet that I found at Safeway near the cleaning isles and since I can also double that coupon, I got another $1.50 off

which means that I spent

.60 cents for two boxes of freezer bags! I will save those for this summer when I freeze lots of berries!!! Great deal

Cheap Arrowhead Water at Safeway

The Feel Well Live Well PROMO is still on this week. The 6 pack large Arrowhead water bottles are on sale $1.99 each and are part of the promo where you buy $30 get $10 off your next purchase. Plus, this week if you buy 2 bottled waters, you get another catalina for $2 off your next purchase. I also received a coupon for $1 off 2 waters. So,

-$12.75 worth of coupons=
$18.69-$10 Catalina from the last promo=
$8.69 out of pocket for the above items!
Plus I received a $10 off my next purchase, $2.00 off from the water catalina and a $1.00 coupon if I want to buy 2 more waters. I normally do not buy bottled water but for this price (.31 for 6) I plan to get some more before tuesday night. Those are really handy in the summer for picnics and camping.

Happy Saving
Plus I dropped off a prescription that I am going to have filled this week and that will give me a $25 gift card to Safeway.
