How can I do this?

My last post was all done at Albertsons, using the Catalina promos going on there.
If you want to do a similar deal at Safeway, they have a "chill" promo going on for the month of March where you buy $25.00 worth of participating items and you get $10.00 back. First, check out the Safeway ad to see which of the participating items you might like. Next locate manufacturers coupons you can use to buy those items. You can usually find some at coupons.com, redplum.com or smartsource.com or sometimes on the brands website (just google it)
Example;
I bought 10 Michael Angelos frozen entree's for a sale price of $2.99 each. You will need the Safeway club card to get that price. On their website I was able to get coupons for buy1get1 free. I also used a coupon I found on one of boxes for $1.00 off. Looks like this;
10 X $2.99 =$29.90
minus b1g1 ($2.99 X 5)-$14.95
minus $1.00 mfr from box
total $13.95
I had catalina's from last week to use for this but if you don't, pay the $13.95 and then you will get $10.00 back.
Do another transaction buying $25.00 worth of items from the 'chill promo" list, use manufacturer coupons and Safeway doublers to get as low as you can to a balance of $10.00. Now use your catalina from the Michael Angelos to pay down the last $10.00 of your transaction. That makes all that food free (or a few bucks) and you get another $10.00!
You can do more transactions for NEARLY FREE FOOD or you can buy other necessities with the $10.00 or pocket it for next week.

So tell me, WHAT DID YOU BUY??

  1. So we bought 10 frozen lunch meals for Scott at 2.50 each and 4 old orchard frozen juices at 1.99 each (both on sale) then I used a $1 off of 4 old orchards and got a $10 catalina. I also bought the bounty and charmin stuff with the $3 off coupons and got a $10 cat. Then I bought 5 boxes of post cereal (all on sale for $2.50 each, cereal runs from $4-$6 up here) and got a $4 cat. Oh we also got $25 more frozen stuff thinking that scott's frozen meals didn't count and got another $10 cat. Then I bought a bunch of stuff using store and mfr coupons and all but one of the $10 cats. I still paid quite a bit of money because I had to get diapers but all in all I got Scott sold on the couponing thing :) He watched the register drop $50+ from the original total.

  2. Estelle,
    Your Post cereal coupons are on the way! I see you bought some already but these are "buy 1 gallon of milk get $2 off honey bunches of oats". so you only pay for the milk plus (.50 cents?) for each cereal AND then get the cat!!! should be about $5 bucks for 4 gallons of milk and 4 boxes of cereal.
