Last week of the frozen food promo at Safeway, plus more deals

This is the last week of the Buy $25 Earn $10 Frozen Food sale at Safeway, so if you want to roll your $10 catalina just one more time, this is your last chance.

Last week’s cleaning supply sale is still going on through the 30th – Saving with Shellie has some coupon matchups for that.

Remember that this is just the highlights of what’s in the ad – it’s a good idea to look at the entire circular to make sure you don’t miss anything.
