Last night on Evening Magazine, I saw a story about a woman after my own heart when it comes to shopping grocery sales and using coupons. She's much better at it than I am, though. The story mentioned her website, the Puget Sound Grocery Guide (PSGG), so of course, today I went to check it out.
It works essentially like the Grocery Game which I already subscribe to. PSGG has weekly shopping lists of the best buys linked up with the applicable coupons for Albertson's, Fred Meyer, and Rite Aid. There is no list for Safeway. You can try the PSGG for free for 4 weeks, and the regular price is $1/week thereafter.
Because I have already decided Albertson's is too far away to shop at regularly, am not in the habit of shopping at Fred Meyer, and absolutely refuse on principle to shop at Rite Aid, I doubt I will subscribe, but for those of you who do shop at these stores, I think the PSGG would be worth a try.

Albertson's to Discontinue Accepting Competitors' Coupons
I went down to Albertson's today as part of my weekly shopping routine and was told by the cashier that I know well that as of next week, Albertson's will not be accepting competitors' coupons. I was really disappointed to hear that, as I have really benefitted from being able to show up with coupons from Fred Meyer or Safeway and have them be accepted. In fact, that was one of the primary attractions of shopping at Albertson's at all. The cashier said they looked at all the competitors' coupons that they honored last week, and it cost the company 3 MILLION dollars. OK, that's a good reason for them to stop the practice.
The result, for me, is that after next week (I have a raincheck for frozen chicken breasts and a $5 coupon good for my next visit), I likely won't keep up the Grocery Game membership for Albertson's, and will stop going there. Albertson's was close to where I worked, so it was convenient to swing by there on my way home on Mondays, but now that I am not working, it is a bit out of my way. If I want something on a Fred Meyer coupon, there's a Fred Meyer very close to my usual Safeway.
