Safeway: half gallon organic milk for $1.99, plus more deals

Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve had this slow of a grocery week!  I’m not seeing much at Safeway, either – a lot of these sales aren’t even 50% off, which is what most items have to go on sale for to be close to a good deal.  There are a few new Safeway coupons you can print or add to your Safeway card on their website.

These deals are good 4/7 through 4/13.

Weekend Sale – Saturday and Sunday Only

93% Lean Ground Beef – $1.99/lb
Rating: 3

Rancher’s Reserve® Boneless Beef Top Sirloin Steak – $3.99/lb
Rating: 2 – this is barely even on sale.

Safeway Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Frozen (4 lb bag) – $1.59/lb
Rating: 4-5 if you prefer frozen chicken breasts. My personal opinion is that that are usually a lower quality so I wouldn’t rate this the same as “fresh” chicken, but that’s up to you. ;)
