My $40 weekly grocery budget shopping trip

March 29, 2009 by

Between being out of town, being sick, and having sick kids, I have not been good about posting my weekly grocery trip pictures. This week, I actually had to talk myself into going to the grocery store. There wasn’t anything I really “needed” but I finally convinced myself to go out last night knowing that this would be a hectic week with no time for grocery trips.

When I got to Randalls, I decided to just peek in the water aisle and saw that the Aqua Pod water was fully stocked! I have been trying to do this deal for a couple of weeks now and every time I went to the store, the shelves were empty. I called my husband and made him get on HCW to see if people were reporting that the catalina deal was still working and people were still reporting that it is! So, I did three back to back transactions (at the self check-out).

Here’s the breakdown of my transactions:

#1: Bought 10 AquaPod waters (used $1/2 coupon and got the $5 off instantly for the Mix and Match promo….sadly, I didn’t have my card and had to use my parent’s phone # since I don’t have my phone # registered to my card, so I didn’t get my 10% off) – paid $14 OOP (received 5 $2 off OYNO catalinas)

#2: Bought 3 Digiorno pizzas, 2 Dreyers ice cream (they were BOGO free), 1 Ore Ida Steam & Mash (I normally wouldn’t buy all of this stuff without coupons, but it’s stuff we like/use, and I used the $10 in catalinas from transaction #1) – paid $15.32 OOP (received $10 Chill out at Home catalina)

#3: Bought canned pineapple, cider vinegar, 2 cans 98% FF cream of mushroom soup, 2 cans 98% FF cream of chicken soup (I used to buy the Kroger brand of these, but recently discovered that Randalls is cheaper!), Sara Lee bread, Hormel turkey, beef stew meat (I paid $1.75 for the package because it was marked down!), bananas, green peppers, carrots – used .55/1 Hormel lunch meat coupon and the $10 Chill Out at Home catalina, paid $5.21 OOP

You can find more details on the Randalls (Safeway if you have it) promotion here and here. These deals should be active through 3/31.

Not pictured: We had a coupon for a free rental at Hollywood Video, so I had my husband stop at get some grapes at Kroger when he went to get our free movie. Total OOP = $2.16

My total OOP for the week was $36.69. I plan to go buy 4 boxes of the Quaker cereal at Kroger (on sale 4/$6 through 3/31 at my stores) and use three .50/1 coupons for Quaker oatmeal squares(which will double) and one $1/1 Life Coupon, so I will pay $2 OOP for 4 boxes of cereal and still come in $1.31 under my budget for the week.

Please vote on my poll in the upper right hand corner of the blog to help me decide what to do about my $40 weekly grocery budget and my freezer swap group. I have been doing the freezer swap for the past two months. Typically, I end up spending about $45-50 out of pocket and I get 8 meals. I’m trying to decide how to figure that into my budget. Here are my choices:

*Cut my grocery budget to $30/week and use the extra $10 to pay for the freezer swap
*Skip out on grocery shopping one week and use that money to pay for the freezer swap
*Skip out on the freezer swap

Be sure to vote!

Scenario Sunday: Hot Deal on Water At Randalls/Safeway

March 22, 2009 by


I would have totally missed out on this deal if it weren’t for Fannie’s post on her blog.

Here’s the scoop: The Aquapod waters are 2/$4 and they are a part of the Buy 10, save $5 Mix and Match promotion (more details can be found here). There is also a catalina promotion to go along with this deal.

Here’s how it works:
Buy 10 waters at $2/each

Save an instant $5 (from the Mix & Match promotion)
Save $2 (if you have the 10% discount on your card)
Save $1 (if you have the $1/2 coupon from the 2/8 RP insert)

Spend $12 OOP, get FIVE $2 off your next purchase catalinas back (these do work like manufacturer’s coupons so if you are using them, you will have to have enough items to match up).

*You can “roll” these and do the deal over and over again…

Here’s my plan: (I’ll get $55+ worth of groceries for $22.50)

Transaction #1: Follow the “water” deal above

Transaction #2: do the “Chill out at Home” promotion
Buy 2 Safeway brand southern style hashbrown potatoes – $1.99/each
Buy 2 Eggo waffles – $1.77/each
Buy 1 Dreyer’s ice cream – $4.49/each
Buy 4 Tai Pei entrees – 2/$5 (use 2 $1/2 manufacturer’s coupons)
Buy 1 Tony’s pizza – $1.99
Buy 1 Hawaii’s Own juice – $1

Total before coupons = $25 – use 5 $2 off Ozarka catalinas, use 2 $1/2 Tai Pei coupons, $2.50 off for 10% discount

Spend $10.50 OOP, get a $10 OYNO catalina

Transaction #3: Buy other groceries I need (fruit, vegetables, milk, etc.) and use the $10 OYNO catalina

**Yes, I have done back to back transactions before when I am doing similar deals. My suggestion if you are going to do this is that you go at an “off” time (either really early in the morning or late at night). Also, if other people do come into the line, please be courteous and allow them to do their transaction before you complete your next one.

CHILL OUT AT HOME PROMO
(most of this is reposted from last week)

If you have a grocery store that is part of the “Safeway” family of stores (Randalls/Tom Thumb/Dominick’s/Genuardi’s/Carrs/Vons/Pavilions), they are having a great promotion this month called the “Chill Out at Home” promotion. The way it works is that you spend $25 on selected frozen foods, and you get a $10 catalina back that is good on your next purchase. You can use the $10 catalina to “roll” into the promotion again (so you spend $15 or less depending on your coupons the next time around).

The list of participating items is HUGE! You can check out the entire list (courtesy of SD) here. If you haven’t already, check out my blog post here to see how much fun I’ve had already with this promotion!

Here are the prices for some of the items (YMMV on prices based on where you are located). I went to the grocery store and scoped out prices and participating items before I made my trip so that I could plan out scenarios. (this is NOT all of the items on the list – it is just some of the items I was pricing)

Fannie has a lot of information and some scenarios here on her blog. A word of caution: check the coupon policies for your area before applying these scenarios. In her area, they double multiple “like” coupons and double coupons with a higher face value.

Check out your store’s coupon policies. At my store, they will double the face value of one “like” coupon up to .50 and triple the face value of one “like” coupon up to .39.

Fannie has a lot of information and some scenarios here on her blog. A word of caution: check the coupon policies for your area before applying these scenarios. In her area, they double multiple “like” coupons and double coupons with a higher face value.

GET AN ADDITIONAL 10% OFF ADDED TO YOUR CARD THROUGH 3/31

Call the 1-800 number on the back of your Randalls card and ask them to add the courtesy “10% off” If they add this to your card, it will be active through 3/31. I know that people in my area have been successful in getting this to work already.

Question :How Do I get the 10% Discount added to my card?

Answer : Call Safeway at 1-877-723-3929 and ask. If denied call back as many times as necessary to get the discount applied to your card.
Alternate means of contact would be an email. http://shop.safeway.com/superstor…e=corphome Same thing email as many times as you need to in order to get the discount.

**KEY** There is no secret to getting this discount. The people who have it either have a store that has been remodeled or a grand opening. Others have called, called, and called again until they have received it.
