Safeway weekly deals: September 16-23

A few nice deals going on at Safeway this week, but definitely not where I’ll be doing the bulk of my shopping.  Still waiting for a big promotion with hundreds of items included like they used to do not so long again!

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen:

• Rancher’s Reserve New York Strip Steak (bone-in) $4.99/lb
• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast $1.69/lb
  
• Lucerne Gallon Milk $1.68 – Lowest price in town this week, I think.
• California Pizza Kitchen Products: Buy 4 Save $4 Instantly – Single-serving products are $2.49 after promo and larger pizzas are $3.99 after promo. An OK price for this brand, but pretty sure I’ve seen better.

Produce:

Red, Black, or Green Seedless Grapes 99¢/lb

General Grocery and Household:

Campbell’s Condensed Soup 50¢ – Use this $1/2 printable on Tomato Soup (because the coupon is for “cooking soups” only) to get for FREE!

Charmin Bath Tissue (12 roll) $5.99 with in-ad coupon (limit 4) – Use 25¢/1 to get it for $5.49, which is 45¢ per roll. An OK deal, but if you use the same coupon at King Soopers on a 4-pack it’s cheaper (35¢ per roll there).

Various Cleaning Products Buy 1 Get 1 Free – No prices listed in the ad, but buy-one-get-one-free is the equivalent of 50% off, so there’s probably some decent deals with coupons.  Keep in mind that Safeway does not allow you to use two coupons on a BOGO sale, but you can usually use a coupon for $1/2 or similar.

Buy 4 Save $4 Instantly (mix and match), plus get a catalina for free Capri Sun (prices below are after instant savings):

General Mills Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Trix, Honey Grahams, Cocoa Puffs, Chex $1.50 – There are 55¢/1 coupons for several of these varieties at Coupons.com, making them 50¢ each.  I used $1/2 insert coupons to buy plain Cheerios, no good printables for those, but I needed ’em!

Nature Valley Granola Bars $1.50 – Use 40¢/1 to get for 70¢ each!

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $1.50 – Use 50¢/2 (insert or from Coupons.com) to get for $1 each. Not a good deal, IMHO.

Note: there are reports that the Nature Valley Nut Clusters may be included in this deal. If so, there are many $1/1 insert coupons and this hot $1.60/1 printable.  If you try it here in the Springs and it works, let me know!  Just remember if you try it and it’s not marked on the shelf as being included and it doesn’t work, there’s not much you can do.  I’m hearing that the Save $4 Instantly works but you may not get the Capri Sun catalina.

72 Hour Sale – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Only:

Oscar Mayer Meat Wieners 99¢ – Use $1/2 to get for 49¢.

Gatorade 8 Pack (16.9-20 oz) $3.99 – An OK deal if you want the smaller bottles, but you can get 32 oz bottles for about half the cost-per-ounce pretty regularly.

Large Hass Avocados 88¢ each

Signature Cafe 8 Piece Fried Chicken $5 – I’d rather pay 99¢ more at King Soopers and get free biscuits/rolls and one side dish pint for free, plus $1 off Coke (see the King Soopers post)

Safeway has a few printable store coupons on their website – nothing that matches up well with this week’s sales, though.  You can view the entire ad online – I’ve just listed the items that I think are a good deal!  This weekly ad review is part of BeCentsAble’s Grocery Gathering.
