Big instant savings promotion at Safeway

Wow, a big “Buy 8 Save $4” sale at Safeway this week!  Based on the fact that just about everything that’s a good deal is part of this sale, I’m going to skip the normal categories and just give you a big list of what’s included in this deal this week!

Don’t forget to look for the special coupon booklet in the dairy section at Safeway.  Here’s a list of the coupons that are in it – there are definitely some nice ones!

Buy 8, Save $4 Instantly Promotion

Save $4 or more instantly when you purchase any 8 or more participating products in a single transaction.  This is the equivalent of 50¢ per item.  It does say “save $4 or more when you purchase 8 or more“, so I’m not sure if that means you will be able to buy 9 and get $4.50 taken off, or if you’ll need to buy in multiples of 8.  If you’ve done this deal and know for sure, please do let us know by leaving a comment!

Prices listed below are after the $4 discount for buying eight items. You can mix and match the products.

Note that some of the items were featured in Sunday’s ad, some were from Wednesday’s ad.  You can view both ads online from the weekly ad link at the bottom of this post.
