It was a good day at Safeway today. Got 5 packages of the super-lean beef (96/4), 4 of which were 5o% off, and 1 which was 2.99 (about 65% off). Right into the freezer they went.
I also got 4 18-oz boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats for 75 cents per box by combining the Safeway coupon (4 for $6) with two manufacturers' coupons ($1.50 off 2). That's a savings of 83%!
And, to cap it all off, I got 4 Hershey's Special Dark bars for the price of 1. They were on sale for buy 2, get 2 free, and I had a coupon for buy 1, get 1 free. So it worked out to buy 1, get 3 free.
These are just 3 small examples of how you can use coupons, sales, and clearance to bring down your total food bill. Overall this week, I saved 40%!
