I used my $10 Chill at Home cat this weekend to get 2 bags of the frozen boneless chicken breast for $2 (on sale for $6.76/ 4lbs) and using the 1/1 Safeway q’s– my total was just over $2. (That also included another Simply Orange with Mango juice for .99 after q’s).

So I am back to square one with this promo and looking forward to stocking the freezer. Note– with these deals I never buy things that my family won’t use- especially perishables which are difficult to donate. We are expecting baby #2 in May and I am very happy to have lots of frozen meals/snacks on hand for the last weeks of my pregnancy and after the baby is born.

I also had a 10/50 coupon for the grand reopening of my store. I have several more of these coupons that don’t expire until 4/4 so I plan to work these weekly. I also used the $4 catalina from the Post cereal deal.

If you have 10% off on your Safeway card you can also really maximize your discounts- I have heard Safeway is even doubling that discount in some areas.

Also my store has had special Grand Reopening sales for the last two weeks. If you happen to pass by a store with this signage out front I highly recommend stopping in! I picked up tons of great coupons and tried (unsuccessfully) to win one of the 300 random gift cards they gave out last weekend. The ads are slightly different and have a few items that are part of the Grand reopening and exclusive to that store.

You still have one more day to work this deal if you haven’t already cleaned out your stores shelves! I did 5 transactions and got 16 boxes of Post Raisin Bran, 3 boxes of Life Maple and Brown Sugar and one box of Quaker Maple Squares (used 50/1) q. I went through the UScan for the last transaction since the catalina for 1.50/2 Raisin Bran prints when you scan the first box. So I was able to use the cat from the prior transaction as well as the cat that printed when I started my last transaction. I rolled the $4 Post catalina each time and paid a grand total of $4.73 for 20 boxes of cereal and one bottle of Simply Orange with Mango juice. I have one more $4 ONYO catalina for a net of $.73 for all that!!

My husband LOVES cereal and regularly goes through 1-2 boxes a week so our stockpile gets depleted very quickly.

The details of this promo can be found at Abundant Food Savings.

Stay tuned as I will be using this catalina on the Chill at Home promo in the next few days.
