Wow!  I’m impressed. This trip took me about an hour.  I was new to the store so I had to learn the aisles.

I also asked the store manager a couple questions before I began shopping.

1.  For safeway coupons that state to use you need to have a $20 “purchase” does that mean I have to purchase $20 before I can use the coupons?  YES

2. If I purchase just the items that qualify for the Safeway coupons and they equal over $20 does that qualify?   NO

3.  Can I use the $5 Home for Holidays immediately on another transaction?  YES

Home for the Holiday Promotion

4 Bisquick 10.00 ($.60 off coupons, 4 doubled, plus $.60  e-coupons Shortcuts.com)
2 BC Frosting 3.00 ($.50 off coupons, 2 doubled, plus $.50 e-coupons Shortcuts.com)
4 BC Cookie Mix 6.00 ($.40 off coupons 4 doubled, plus $.40 e-coupons Shortcuts.com)
1 Nestle Toll House Chips 2.00 (1.00 off Safeway catalina found in cart!)
2 Hefty Foam Plates 3.00 ($1.50/2 off coupon)
2 ICBINB Light Tubs $3.98 ($1.00/2 off coupon)

Before coupons $27.98 after coupons $12.98 so after the $5 catalina = $7.98 for the above!
(They were out of the $1.99 ICBINB sticks.  Bummer!  I bought the ICBINB tubs to get me over $25 and then I realized I found that $1.00 off Nestle Toll House chips and $1.00 for chips is pretty good! The best part is I got the white chips!  Yummy!)

Besides the Home for the Holiday promotion I got a couple other things.  Check out these deals!

2 Gallon Milks $6.78  (Not the best price but I needed milk and it doesn’t make sense to drive farther for cheap milk.)

1 dozen eggs $1.79

1 celery $1.50

3 A&W Rootbeer = $.99 (Special ended 11/21/09)

1 Rapid Rise Fleshmans yeast $1.50 ($.40 off coupon, 1 double)  Got back a $.50 Catalina!  After coupons and catalina = $0.20!!

1 Huggies Overnights $9.99 (Safeway coupon $7.99 after spending $20 min. purchase, $2.00 mailer Huggies  coupon for overnights, $2.00 e-coupons Shortcuts.com, $1.50 Safeway coupons.com e-coupons) After coupons = $2.49!!

After all said and done!

OOP= $28.58  + $5 cat and a $.50 cat

Total Savings value 60% $41.24
