Safeway weekly deals: July 1-7

Here we go with Safeway’s 4th of July week specials!   I’m a little bummed that they don’t have a better ground beef sale – last year they put 80% lean ground beef on sale for 88 ¢/lb.   No such luck this year. :(

I think I’ve covered most of the standout deals, but I’m kind of doing a speed run this week since I know a lot of you just don’t have time to spend three hours grocery shopping (and I don’t, either!).

If you’re new to shopping at Safeway, be sure to read the Safeway FAQ – lots of info on their coupon policy and which stores do and don’t double coupons.

Four Day Sale – Deals Good July 1-4 ONLY:

• Safeway Refresh Bottle Water (24 pk, 16.9 oz) $2.88 – Good price, but I think the deal at Albies is better this week.
• Lay’s Potato Chips $1.88 – Good, but typical sale price.   No need to stock up.
• Dreyer’s Ice Cream $2.29 – Again, good but typical price. Cheaper at Albies this week.
• Heinz Ketchup (40 oz) $1.76 – Great price!
• 12-pack Coke, Pepsi, or 7Up $1.99 with in-ad coupon when you buy 5 – Awesome price, stock up!
• Kraft Mayo or Miracle Whip $1.99 with in-ad coupon – Use $1/1 to get for 99 ¢. An OK price, but we’ve seen cheaper and probably will again.
• Kraft Singles 99 ¢ with in ad coupon – Typical sale price.
• Kingsford Charcoal $5.99 – Use the coupon for free KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce when you buy Kingsford charcoal for a great deal!
• Keep in mind that the in-ad coupon rquire a $20 minimum purchase before manufacturer’s coupons, though your product price after the in-ad coupon should could towards the $20 minimum.

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen:

• Ball Park Franks 99 ¢ – Use $1/2 to get them for 49 ¢ each, a great price! I was there yesterday morning and they were already sold out, so be ready to request a rain check.
• 93% Lean Ground Beef $1.99/lb
• Ribeye Steak, Bone-in $4.99/lb – Good price, cheaper at Rancho Liborio this week.
• T-Bone Steak, Bone-in $4.88/lb – Good price.
• Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Steak $4.88/lb – Not a good price, you know why?   See that small print right below the sale price?   It says “save up to 61 ¢/lb” – that’s hardly even a discount!
• Chicken Dumsticks, Thighs, or Leg Quarters 99 ¢/lb – These will go on sale for lower, but it’s not a terrible price.

Produce:

• Cherries $1.88/lb – Good price, but cheaper at both Sunflower Market and King Soopers this week.
• Bi-Color, White, or Yellow Corn 4 for 99 ¢

General Grocery and Household:

• Safeway Hot Dog or Hamburger Buns 79 ¢ – Pretty sure this is the lowest price in town this week!
• French’s Mustard $1.50 – Use 50 ¢/1 to get for 50 ¢. We used to be able to get this for free, but haven’t seen any sign of that sale yet this summer. :(
• Kraft BBQ Sauce 99 ¢ – Use 50 ¢/1 to get it FREE, you can make money on it at King Soopers with the Daytona promo, though.
• Kraft Salad Dressing $1.50 – Use $1/1 to get for 50 ¢!
