Safeway weekly deals, and weekend sale: Doritos and potatoes for 99¢

A pretty small ad at Safeway this week.  I’m OK with that though – that leaves more time to work on the big sales at King Soopers!

I got quite a few emails and comments last week about the Safeway at Constitution and Powers only accepting one printable coupon of any type in a transaction, or only one printable per product.   A major bummer, and doesn’t make sense, really.  I’ve been told their explanation is to prevent coupon fraud, but keeping someone from using a coupon for $1/1 cereal and $1/4 cereal because they’re for the same product doesn’t really prevent coupon fraud – those are clearly separate coupons.

Anyway, just be aware of this, particularly at that location.  If you’re not a fan of their policy, I’d encourage you to contact Safeway and politely explain your concerns.

Lucerne Eggs (18 ct) $1.29 with in-ad coupon, limit 1
Rating: 5 – kind of a letdown, though, they used to do this coupon for 99¢ instead of $1.29.  Still a great price, comparatively, though!

Lucerne Creamery Fresh or Safeway Select Ice Cream Cups (7.5 oz) 49¢ with in-ad coupon, limit 10
Rating: 5?  Obviously not a great price-per-oz, but if you want individual serving size cups, this is a great price!
