Safeway weekly deals: June 17-23

Here are the highlights from Safeway this week.   By the way, I’m in a serious search for a database program that will allow me to track prices better and give you more detailed info on what’s a good deal and why – my brain is seriously overrun with grocery prices!   Hopefully I’ll be able to find the perfect (haha) program soon.   For now, here’s what’s a good deal based on the trends and prices I’ve observed.

Remember that not all Safeways in Colorado Springs double coupons – for a list of which ones do and don’t, read the Safeway FAQ.

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen:

• Rancher’s Reserve Beef Ribeye Steak (Bone-in) $4.88/lb – Great price!
• Fresh Split Chicken Breasts (Bone-in) 99 ¢/lb – Good price, comes around pretty frequently.
• Fresh Sockeye Salmon Fillets $8.99/lb – Lowest price in town this week, a good price if you want wild salmon (not a good price if you’ll eat farm-raised).
• Whole Pork Tenderloin $2.99/lb – Good price, but comes around frequently.
• 80% Lean Ground Beef $1.99/lb – Good price if you need it; it will go cheaper.
• Lucerne Shredded or Chunk Cheese (32 oz) $4.99 – This is $2.50/lb; it will go cheaper, but it’s not a bad price if you need some!

Produce:

• Broccoli Crowns 77 ¢/lb – Awesome price, the lowest we’ve seen in a long time!
• Green Seedless Grapes 98 ¢/lb – Great price!
• Raspberries (12 oz) $2.99 – The size that King Soopers puts on sale for $1 is 5.6 oz, so this would be equivalent of paying about $1.50 for the smaller package.   A great price for Safeway, but you can beat it if you’ll wait for a good sale at King Soopers and Sunflower.

General Grocery and Household:

• Kingsford Charcoal $5.99 with in-ad coupon – Great price, keep in mind the coupon requires a $20 minimum purchase.   The $5.99 for the charcoal does count toward the minimum.
• Ocean Spray Cranberry Cocktail Drink $1.88 – Depending on what varieties are included, there are 55 ¢/1 or $1/1 coupons out for select varieties, bringing the price down to 88 ¢.   I would probably wait if you don’t have any coupons.
• 12-Pack 7Up Products Buy 2 Get 3 Free – Not sure of the regular price on these, but this is a 60% savings so it’s probably a good deal!
• Kraft Velveeta or Deluxe Mac and Cheese $1.89 – If you have any $1/1 coupons that are not expired, you can get them for 89 ¢.   We’ve gotten them for cheaper before.
• Rosarita Refried Beans 99 ¢ – Frequent sale price, and cheaper at Albertson’s this week.

I’ve just listed the sales that I would consider good deals in this poist, so be sure to check out the entire ad online. Remember that you can use the following e-coupons at Safeway: Cellfire and P&G esaver.   And, if you have trouble with Safeway not accepting any printable coupons, you might want to check out the policy on their website here.
