I still have some money left from last week, which I am happy about because I will be heading back to Safeway to score more dirt cheap ground beef this week!

SAFEWAY: $9.72

3 bags Goldfish Crackers $1 each- Used (2) .35/1 coupons and (1) .75/1 coupon
3 Ramen Noodles .39 each
5 lbs Ground Beef $5.97 (this was on sale BOGO in my area this week and I have an individual price of $1.99/lb from Just 4 U so it works out to .99 a lb! I will be filling the freezer for sure!)
Broccoli $1.27
Butternut Squash $3.77
2lbs Safeway Raisins $3.99

I used $8 in catalina coupons and paid $9.72.

RALEYS: $36.96

2 gallons milk $4.89
Raleys 6pk soda- free with coupon

I used a $1.50/20 coupon that printed out at the catalina machine last week.

So not many coupons this week but I feel good about what I got for $50.

You can see the Raleys deals for the week and the Safeway deals for the week here.

How did you do this week? Β Any fantastic deals you scored?

    We had the BOGO meat two weeks ago–I stocked up on Ground beef, pork and chicken-all for under $30! Safeway must do this sale again πŸ™‚

    Just like the name implies, I’m assuming everyone’s “personalized” price varies. Just signed into my just 4 u account and can’t find the $1.99/lb. ground beef price. πŸ™

    You can read about the program here:

    Each person gets their own sales and that happened to be what I got.

    I totally missed the Cheetos coupons! That is a great price! My son’s favorites! I’ll have to go again and get them!

    My Raleys total was $74, and I paid $47 after coupons. Three of my items were free. I love that store! Who wants to schlep their own bags when you can shop Raleys, get their nice customer service perks, and save money?

    charlene, is raley’s your main store? and you just get the good deals at safeway? is this mainly due to the just for u program (safeway was your main store?)? safeway in san jose has been my main store. target, lucky or trader joes have been secondary. but i don’t like locking my ecoupons with safeway only. i’m wondering if target will use ecoupons. there were a fair number of signs for the program at my store this week, but the cashiers did not talk about it. i will need to visit customer service to see about the computer availability. (i hate that there is never anyone at the customer service desk at my store!)

    No Cathy it is not. I like shopping at Raleys- my store even has a daycare facility, but I find them too expensive. I usually shop at Safeway and that is really my only option other than Walmart which is out of the question.
