Safeway trip - Guess how much?


Alright, so here is the breakdown. 

Before club card and coupons ......$87.03

After discounts and coupons.....$37.76 for a total savings of 57%!

I had a total of only 10 coupons. It's really pretty easy. I'm going to break it all down so you can see what I did. I'm sure I could have saved more of I was more diligent. I only used 1 online coupon as my Safeway has been pretty difficult with accepting them in the past but no problem today. Total coupon breakdown...

1 Safeway coupon from Sunday paper
1 Safeway produce coupon from their customer service counter
1 online coupon (from Facebook)
7 manufacturers coupons from Sunday papers (all in the last month)
*No coupons used

Here's the breakdown:

4 boxes of Raisin Bran (BIG boxes too) $17.96 - $10 card savings & $2 coupons = $5.96 ($1.49/box!)

*2 bags of Doritos, B1G1 Free, no coupons $3.99 (1.98 each)

2 Boxes Cinnamon Toast Crunch $6.38 - $2.40 club card & $1 coupon = $2.98 ($1.49 each)

3 Poptarts $7.77 - $3.30 club card & $1 coupon = $3.47 ($1.16 each)

*5 Gatorade G2's $7.95 - $4 club card = $3.95 (.79 each)

*1 Sunny Delight $1.59 - $.60 club card = $.99

2 pounds shrimp $15.98 - $4.00 club card & $4 Safeway coupon from paper = $7.98

Produce...

3 ears corn $2.07 - $1.07 club card = $1

3 Fuji apples $3.10 Had to have for son - no discount :(

4 White peaches $4.34 - $2.90 Club card = $1.44

Large Bag of Fresh Express Salad mix $4.99 - $1 club card & $1 Facebook coupon = $2.99

1 pound baby carrots $1.99 - $1 club card = $.99

I also had a $1.00 off $5 of produce from the customer service desk. 


I hope this helps those who think it's too much work. It's really not. It's just reading the flyers and stocking up on things you use that are on a great sale. If you have coupons to add, all the better!!

Please let me know if you need help. I'm NOT a couponing queen (yet!) but I am saving on our monthly food budget more than I ever have before! I'd love to help you too!!

Cheers,
Julie
