I have to say this week looks like a good one at Safeway. I will have the matchups for you tonight, but in the meantime here are a few highlights I can see. You might want to get your coupons ready!
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks are priced at $.99 each (must buy 4)
Use (2) $.50/2 printable coupons or printable coupons
Pay $2.96 without doubles or pay $2.46 if you have doubles
Plus there is a catalina running right now- I just got this announcement on my last shopping trip:
Buy 3 Fruit Snacks and get $1
Buy 4 Fruit Snacks and get $2
Buy 5 Fruit Snacks and get $3
The cat is running from 2/21-3/20.
So if you buy 4 boxes you will get all 4 for .46 after cat (with doubles) or 4 boxes for $.96 (without doubles). If your store doubles more than one like coupon, these should all be free.
These would be great to tuck away for Easter baskets!
**
Oscar Mayer Deli Creations Cracker Combos are .99 (Fri-Mon Only)
Use $1/2 any Deli Creations products coupon
Final Price: .49 each!
**
Cheerios 14oz $1.49 (must buy 4)
Use $1/2 Cheerios coupon or coupon
Final Price: $.99 per box!
Kristen says
For the fruit snacks, I think they’ll be free for folks with doubles, right? Pay $1.96 & get $2 catalina…yay, more free gummy snacks!!
Charlene says
Kristen- my understanding is that only one like coupon will double? If you can get more than one like to double it should be free.
Jessica says
More than one will double in MD. 🙂

Do you know if the multigrain cherrios is part of the cheerios promotion? I have a bunch of $1 coupons that I would like to use. Thanks for all your hard work!
Katie says
You might as well buy that 5th box. Since you will get an extra dollar on the catalina it would be free even without a coupon on it!
Charlene says
Katie I don’t know about that. You’ll have to test it and see but typically when the ad says “Must buy 4 or more” it means each item will ring up at .99. If the ad says “Must buy 4” it often means the 5th box will ring up at full price. In this case it says “Must buy 4” which makes me thing the 5th will ring up at $2 or more.
Charlene says
Ok that’s great- I can’t outline every scenario for everyone so if your region allows you to get a better deal just modify the scenario to suit your situation!
Charlene says
Sarah I checked Safeway.com and the only Cheerios listed at 14oz was the yellow box. You might do some Google work and see if you can find what the size is on the multigrain. The ad says “Cheerios 14oz” and pictures the yellow box.
Lori says
Charlene – I know you get frustrated by Safeway sometimes, but please don’t stop doing the matchups! I am in Maryland as well, but have learned to factor in our doubling when reading through your prices. (Also, I get rather jealous of the inexpensive fruit and better meat deals you seem to get on the west coast! I figure that has to do with shipping, and now with the increase in gas….) I guess what I am trying to say is that you have the best Safeway matchups, and I’d hate to have to go look elsewhere!
Charlene says
Oh no I’d never stop Safeway. I don’t think I could make it without Safeway my other stores are just too expensive. I would have to start shopping Walmart of go on a frozen foods diet with target 😛
Rachel says
I just wanted to say, thank you for all you do!! I really appreciate it. 🙂
Rachel R. says
Yes, thank you for all you do!!! I could never do the match ups! I’d just have a pile of coupons lying around and be paying $150/week in groceries again. 🙂
sarah mcreynolds says
Thanks Charlene for looking that up for me! I really appreciate it! I will look into it,
Jill says
I read earlier this week that Safeway has changed their coupon policy yet again and are limiting on like printed coupon per transaction…have you heard about this?
Charlene says
Jill I can’t find anything about that on the coupon policy. It was updated 2/16:

Emelyn says
Woohoo! Thanks for the deals, I’m totally shopping the Cheerios and Fruit snacks today. I’ve been waiting for a good fruit snacks deal since the last time…used them all for Valentine’s!
I NEVER used to shop at Safeway, thought it was wayy too expensive. Now I ONLY shop at Safeway….and people are facinated by all the great deals I get. THANKS to YOU!!!
tiffany says
question – would two catalina’s print in the same transaction? If I were to buy 8 fruit snacks, would I get a $3 cat for buying 5 and a $1 cat for buying 3?
Nicole says
I ran into Safeway today to get the fruit snacks. They are part of the buy 4 save 4 deal, along with the cereals. I bought 5 at .99 cents, used two .50/2 coupons, got three boxes of Cinnamon Cherrios at $1.49 (had one .75/1 and two 1.25/1 coupons). Since I bought a total of eight items, I got the $3.00 cat for the fruit snacks and really cheap cereal!
Nicole says
BTW – The only Cherrios I noticed as part of the sale was the yellow box and the Cinnamon. The others were priced at $4.29 (yikes!!)
Monica says
I ran into Safeway to get 6 boxes of fruit snacks. I used 3 $0.50/2 coupons and paid $4.44. With that transaction I got a $3.00 off next purchase catalina plus a $1.50/3 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks MQ. For my next transaction I purchsed 5 boxes of Fruit Snacks, used @3.00 off plus $1.50/3 and paid $0.45 for 5 boxes. Then the same coupons printed again and again for my next 5 transactions!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus I still have a $3.00 off next purchase plus a $1.50/3 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks MQ.
