Safeway weekly deals: September 30-October 6

It’s a really slow week at Safeway.  I was planning to stop in for the 25¢ bread, but it requires a $10 minimum purchase and after looking at the ad I’m not sure I could find $10 worth of other deals that it would make it worth my trip.  Oh well!

Safeway has some printable coupons on their website, and most of them are the same as the ones at Coupons.com; however, sometimes they put up store coupons and I just checked and there’s quite a few up there that appear to be store coupons for medicines, soap, meat, and produce!  You should be able to combine a store coupon with a manufacturer’s coupon, so that could make for some sweet finds.

Big Sizes Big Savings Sale – buy two or more select large-size household products for $9.99 each
No specific sizes listed, so it’s hard to say what’s a good deal – however, you can usually get a better deal by combining coupons on smaller size packages rather than the “large size”.
