What’s free at Safeway? Quaker cereal, Marie’s dressings, and more!

Published March 11, 2010 by Carrie in Grocery Deals

If you can go to Safeway this week and keep all their promos straight, I’ll award you a gold star!  There are two different Buy 5 Save $5 promotions, a weekend sale, a few awesome regular deals, and the frozen food promotion continues this week!

I’m going to direct you back to last week’s post for the frozen food promotion – there’s not much new in the ad, so I’ll assume most of the prices stayed the same through this week.  (I’ve updated the ones that did have changes in the ad).  Remember, you’ll earn $10 on your next order for every $25 you spend in participating frozen food products – which is basically a 40% savings even before coupons!  Go here for the list.

Note: a lot of you have contacted me about the Safeway at Constitution and Powers – they are only accepting one printable coupon of any kind per transaction, so please know this and keep it in mind.  As far as I know, this is a single-store policy and hasn’t been reported anywhere else in Colorado Springs.

Buy 5 Save $5 Cereal Sale

Purchase any combination of these cereals and save $5 at checkout.  There is a limit of 20, so you’ll be able to do four groups of five per transaction.  Prices below are assuming a $5 discount for purchasing 5.

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes $1
Rating: 3-4 – couldn’t find any coupons, if you know of any, please share!

Quaker Oat Squares $1
Use $1/1 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: FREE!
Rating: 5 – if you like this cereal (Jeremy does!), I’d still rate it pretty highly even without coupons… We’ll be stocking up since this variety doesn’t go on sale often.

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks $1
Use 50¢/2 printables from [coupons.com] or [smartsource.com] or insert coupons
Net cost at checkout: 50¢
Rating: 3

Note: there may be a catalina deal going on to make it free or a moneymaker!  Saving with Shellie says there’s a catalina promo for $1.50 on your next order when you buy 3, $2.50 when you buy 4, or $3.50 when you buy 5 or more.  Haven’t confirmed it’s happening here in Colorado, but often BC Fruit Snacks promos are nationwide.  (Here’s some [catalinahelp])

Nature Valley Granola Bars  $1.50
Use 40¢/1 printable from [coupons.com] or [smartsource.com] 50¢/1 or 70¢/2 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: 50¢ to $1
Rating: 4-5

Honey Nut Cheerios $1.50
Use $1/2 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: $1
Rating: 3

Post Fruity Pebbles $1.50
Coupons?
Rating: ? – do you Colorado readers have insert coupons for Post cereal?  The coupon databases said there were some out, but I can’t find them… We usually get them in the Post, though!

Kellogg’s Raisin Bran $2
Use $1.50/2 from [redplum.com] or $1/2 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: $1.25-1.50
Rating: 2-3

Post Honey Bunches of Oats $2
Rating: 3, maybe a little higher if you’re brand loyal – doesn’t go on sale too often.  There may be coupons out and I’m just missing them!

Lucky Charms $2
Use $1/2 insert coupon
Net cost at checkout: $1.50
Rating: 3?  Lucky Charms don’t go on sale as often as some of the other General Mills brands.

Rating: 4

There’s a couple of other weekend sale deals, but nothing that seems to be a great price.

Meat, Dairy, and Frozen

Rating: 3

Safeway Corned Beef Points $1.49/lb

Rating: 3 – there were printables available awhile back, you might check to see if you have one!

Lucerne Stick or String Cheese (12 to 16 oz) $2.49 with in-ad coupon, limit 2
Rating: 4 – not quite as good as the Precious string cheese deal last week, but still a great price for this type.

Breyer’s Ice Cream $2.50
Rating: 3, maybe a 4 – it’s been awhile since we’ve had a sale on Breyers!  Sometimes goes as low as $2 without a coupon.
