Envy your Safeway Just4U prices!

Sometimes they work out perfectly but really it is just a small bonus here and there not life changing stuff 🙂

Me too got the 4 cheerios at safeway for .98 all of them with the pers. price, also got 2 cheetos at 1.49 when you buy 8 promotion price used the 1/2 cheetos so .98 each after Q from pepsi insert and used the free pepsi max coupon with the purchase of 2 cheetos and for some reason the pepsi max ring at -3.54 , so used that overage on other items.
Also got the lipton 16 oz .59 (buy 8 promo price) used the 1/4(pepsi insert) so, .34 after Q.
One more thing i have been getting personalized prices on produce like apples or brocoli .99 per pound, but in order to get that price you have to print your shopping list and the produce items have a PLU number, just show the shopping list to the cashier and ask they to use that PLU or you will get the card price not your personalized price… 😉

what are personal / Just 4U prices? Safeway always seems a bit expensive to me, but you seem to do very well.

How do I get the “just for me” price. Is that a new program? Is it something that you need to sign up for? I don’t know what it is, but sure do like the numbers… prices. Thanks 🙂
