There is a great promotion running at Safeway stores. Reader Karen spotted this in her Sunset magazine for this month and I popped out and grabbed a magazine to check it out.
Here is what is advertised:
Buy 4 or more of the following and get a catalina for a free gallon of milk (up to $4.00):
- Kellogg’s Cereal (10.8oz or larger, any flavor)
- Pop Tart Toaster Pastries 8ct+
- Kellogg’s NutriGrain bars 8ct+
- Kellogg’s Special K Bars 6ct +
- Kellogg’s Fiber Plus bars 5ct+
- Kellogg’s Egg Waffles 10ct+
- Peet’s Coffee
- Activia Yogurt or Pure Yogurt products
This is supposed to run from Feb 29-March 13.
There is a limit of one reward per transaction. Since this was advertised in Sunset Magazine, it should be running nationwide at Safeway stores.
Now I buy organic milk which is about $5.98/gallon so this is a very good deal for me.
Here are a few ideas:
Buy 4 Activia 4pks or Pure Yogurt 4pks $1.88
Use $1/1 Activia Product, exp. 3/19/12 (SS 02/12/12)
or Use $1/1 Activia Multipack, exp. 4/7/12 (ALL YOU Mar ’12)
or Use $1/1 Organic Activia (I don’t think this is priced at $1.88)
Final Price: as low as $3.52 and get back up to $4 off milkOr
Buy 4 Frosted Flakes or Cocoa Krispies – $1.99
Use $1/2 Frosted Flakes coupon
Final Price: $5.96 and get back up to $4 off milk
*Some of you may have $4 off 4 cereal coupons that were previously available.Or
Buy 4 Eggo Waffles – $2.50
Use $.55/1 from frozen foods insert 2/26
Final Price: $7.80 and get back up to $4 off milk
**Remember this week there is a promotion for $5 off new frozen foods items when you spend either $10 or $15 on frozen foods (depending on your area). So this will get you $10 of the way toward that promotion.
The Activia yogurt does not have a size restriction so there is a chance the single serve yogurt at $.99 might work.
Reader Endcapps already popped over to her store and this deal worked perfectly on the Kellogg’s cereal.
I noticed the Simply Eggo waffles in this week’s ad so I think I might try that and see how it goes for me.
If anyone has other deal ideas, leave a comment below and let us know!
See the Safeway Deals for 2/29 here.
Thanks to Karen and Endcapps!

ill be picking up 4 nutrigrain bars since they will be 1.99 starting tommorrow. plus i printed 2/$1 coupons awhile ago. yay.. we love these at my house.
Aimee says
I tried buying 4 simply eggo waffles today and it didn’t print. I went to customer service and they gave me $4.
Cynthia says
It worked fine for me on the Kellogg’s cereal but I did a separate transaction and it did not work on the Activia. I am going to contact Safeway.
Jeanette says
Has anyone tried rolling the frozen food catalina?
Lisa G. says
I tried buying 4 Activia at my Safeway and it didn’t print. I’m going to call Catalina Marketing and see what they say. I’m in Santa Cruz County, CA
AJ says
Luckily I read the comments first before heading out, I was going to do the activia deal.
Where can I pick up the sunset magazine?
Do you know if I pick this page and take it with me will do work if the catalina doesn’t print out?
I’m surprised nobody brought this up, what about the Milk Mustache Campaign? Buy any three breakfast items and get a free milk…still going on thru 3/03
AJ says
I meant to type *print this page
Charlene says
AJ- a reader mentioned it on Facebook. I am not going to tell people it will work because technically Safeway does not allow free item printables. The coupon does require a purchase so it might be ok or many stores might refuse it. I know the stores I go to tend to be sticklers so I wouldn’t want to bother with it myself.

Ashley says
I did this today.. One transactions I bought 5 kellogs cereal (mini wheaties, and used my $5/5 coupon) and the catalina worked!
On my next transaction I bought 4 boxes of ego waffles.. The catalina for the free milk did not print 🙁 A $5 one for the frozen food did however…
Should I take my receipt to customer service? I am bummed.
Charlene says
Ashley,
I think you can try customer service although if your store doesn’t have signs up that might be tricky.
I am thinking catalina marketing might be the best bet. Just call or email with the info off your receipt:

claire says
@Lisa G please let me know what catalina marketing says. i live in the area as well and would love to do this deal. thanks!
Endcapps says
$1 off any 3 Kellogg’s Eggo Frozen Products printable mfc coupon on Target’s site. x4-1-12
Charlene says
LOL, I printed that last night before I left for dinner. Will get it posted today ;).

Charlene says
I tested this myself today by buying 6 packs of Eggo Simply waffles. I also got a gallon of milk ($5.99) and tried to use the $4 off milk coupon. The milk coupon the cashier pushed through and then no catalinas printed. I didn’t get the $5 frozen foods one or the milk one. I did see signs all over in my store so at customer service they actually refunded me the entire $5.99 for my milk. I got the phone number for catalina to call about my $5 frozen foods cat. Apparently there are a bunch of items not programmed in to work so if your store has signs up, the easiest thing is probably going to customer service. If your store does not have signs up, you might just call catalina. Apparently the 10ct plain old Eggos are the only ones working right now. I bought the simply and those did not work.
Cynthia says
I emailed Safeway when the Activia purchase didn’t generate the catalina and they did tell me there was nothing they could do. I have to contact Catalina Marketing and ask them.
Endcapps says
Charlene, sorry about that Sfwy trip. But maybe this’ll make you smile. Shopping @ Sfwy “measurements”…
36 … number of hours planning my trip
24 … number of minutes filling my cart
36 … number of minutes at Customer Service fixing things!
(now that song about the brick house…36, 24, 36 is stuck in my head.)
Charlene says
LOL- my limit is 2 minutes ;).
Lisa G. says
@Claire, I made my weekly Friday trip to Safeway today and asked customer service (Felton store-they know me and my coupons well there 😉 about it, showed them my receipt from yesterday, pointed out the signs and they ended up giving me a free gallon (organic-score!). I didn’t have to call Catalina marketing. I also printed out one of the Milk Mustache FB coupons this morning and used it (got $4 off) to get another gallon by buying 4 Quaker Instant Oatmeals (BOGO).I also used a $1/3 coupon. In the end I walked away with 2 gallons of organic milk for $2
nicole says
So I bought 4 cereal today at safeway and didnt get my milk coupon? what should I do? and the store in rocklin knew nothing about it? HELP..
DONNA says
I just did the breakfast deal tonight at my local store, bought 3 Eggo’s and 1 Activia, ice cream and pizza. I received a $5 cat for spending $15 on frozen food and a $5 cat for what I don’t know. It does not specify for milk or anything else and doesn’t say from what purchases it’s from, but I’ll take it, it’s even better than the milk cat since I can use it on anything.
Charlene says
Nicole, just contact Catalina marketing- a quick google search pulls them right up. Give them the receipt information and they will mail it to your home.
