My freezer is getting full from the great frozen food deals at Safeway this month. All together everything in the picture cost $4.48. My Safeway doubles coupons by subtracting an extra 50 cents from each manufacturer coupon. Without double coupons the cost would be $4.98. I did two trips; here are the details:
Trip 1:
DiGiorno Dipping Strips, on sale for $5.00, buy 2
Use $5 frozen catalina coupon and $2.50/2 DiGiorno coupon (both from last week’s shopping)
Final cost: $2.50 for both, plus get $5 frozen catalina and $2.50/2 DiGiorno coupon
Fresh Express Spinach 9 oz, on sale for $1.00
Use $0.75/1 coupon from March Fresh Ideas (still available)
Final cost: $0.25
Trip 2:
Pictsweet Frozen Vegetables, on sale for $1.00, buy 5
Use $5.00 frozen catalina from previous trip
Final cost: $0.00
Tai Pei Frozen Meal, on sale for $1.99
Use double coupon and $0.55/1 coupon from 1/29/12 Smart Source insert
Final cost: $0.94
Klondike Ice Cream, on sale for $2.79 with in-ad coupon
Use $2.00 just-for-you ecoupon (no longer available)
Final cost: $0.79
No $5.00 frozen catalina printed for this trip, even though the pre-coupon total was above $10. Not sure why, perhaps it had to do with the ecoupon.
Here are some other good deals at Safeway this week. I will probably go back for the Stouffers myself. Prices are without double coupons, if your store offers double coupons, your price could be lower.
Think Thin Bars, on sale for $1.25
Final cost: $0.25
Nissin Big Cup Noodles, on sale for $0.50 each, buy 3
Use $1.00/3 coupon from 3/18/12 Smart Source insert

Carefree Liners, on sale for $0.99

Stouffers Farmers Harvest Steam Meals, on sale for $2.50, buy 4
Use 4 $1.00/1 coupons from 3/18/12 Smart Source insert
Final cost: $6.00 for 4 meals. Plus should get $5.00 frozen food catalina (…unless you’re in CA where you might need to purchase $15 frozen to get the $5 catalina – check your ad.)
Update 3/25: I’ve now done this Stouffers deal twice, and both times the $5.00 catalina did not print. Luckily, the Stouffers is featured in the weekly ad under the frozen deal. I went to customer service, showed them the ad and my receipt, and each time they handed me a $5 bill.

A Safeway in my area is reopening after a remodel. They had a great booklet with Safeway coupons like $2.00 off any O organic product, free dish soap (pic above), and a free loaf of bread from the Safeway bakery. Grocery store reopenings, at any grocery chain, are great events!
