Safeway weekly deals: July 22-28

Lots of in-ad coupons at Safeway this week!   If you don’t get one in the Wednesday paper, you’ll need to pick one up in-store in order to use the coupons.   They usually have a display of ads near where the shopping carts are kept.   If they’re out, ask at customer service.

Keep in mind that Safeway’s in-ad coupons require a $20 minimum purchase, which is your total after all store discounts and in-ad coupons, but before manufacturer’s coupons.   The price of the item after an in-ad coupon counts toward your minimum purchase – ie, the $1.49 you spend after the in-ad coupon for Lucerne butter counts toward your $20 minimum.   Also know that you can use Safeway’s in-ad coupons in conjunction with manufacturer’s coupons!

And, Safeway continues to double coupons everywhere in Colorado, yahoo!
