Safeway specials ever better!

I stumbled across some great deals today at Safeway. I entered, intending to use the Betty Crocker fruit snacks 4 for $4 coupon and GM Granola bar 4 for $6 in order to start stocking up for some treats for camping in a week. I had coupons from the paper 8/9 for both these items and also printed off some from coupons.com in order to get an ever better deal. Both coupons require a minimum $20 spending, so I started in the meat department. I found a great deal on boneless pork ribs (all needed to be sold by tomorrow so were 50% off!) I got 15# for .80/# and went home and repacked them into smaller bags and froze them. Anyway, long story short, get to $20 in groceries (preferably good deals) and if you buy 4 of the granola bars and 4 of the fruit snacks, you will receive $2.50 off your next purchase catalinas. Make sure to take the double coupon in too! I got 4 boxes or granola bars and 4 fruit snacks for a total of $6.40 and then received $5 for my next purchase so basically $1.40 out of pocket for all of that!

Great time to stock up!

New deals start tomorrow at Albertsons

So, if you want to try your hand at rebates, this week starting 8/12 you can get $25 of select Kraft products for FREE after rebate. When you hit the $25 mark, a $5 catalina will print (good off your next purchase) and then a $20 rebate form. I am going to use all the coupons I have on selected products before their expiration date of 8/31 and make $6 on this deal. Plus I have some catatlinas from last week so I really should not have to use much money out of pocket. If you want ideas on what are the best deals, check out the pinching your pennies grocery list and look for the red star 4 or 5 items.PINCHING YOUR PENNIES
