Safeway deal 6/7

I do most of my shopping at Safeway and our store doubles coupons up to $1
(unless the coupon doesn't double) They also have store coupons nearly every week and most of them have manufacture coupons you can use as well. Sometimes they have awesome mark downs and great in store coupons. I also work there and get an extra 10% off of Safeway brand items, plus they have a fuel discount that adds up for 3 months, you can preload P&G coupons onto your Safeway card that work with other manufactures coupons, and they have random deals that add up too! Such as buy 4 naked juices and get the 5th free or buy 7 deli sandwiches and get the 8th free!

I love getting a good deal!

And I always have too! I'm a major bargain hunter and I could spend hours scouring a store for the best possible deals. My friends and family have picked on me about this for as long as I can remember...It's bad enough that hardly anyone is willing to go shopping with me most of the time! lol But that's okay because I've got my little shopping buddy! He loves to go shopping and really loves all the attention he gets from everyone while we are out and about.

Anyways, I have always been a coupon user, but not until recently have I really started to figure out the game of couponing. And I've just started building our stockpile too, which works well since the ultimate saving is to find things at there lowest possible prices and buy as many as you can/or will use before they expire. I'm mainly a Safeway shopper since I work there and I personally like this store more then any of the other grocery stores I've ever shopped at. The Safeways out here in Arizona double coupons up to a dollar and you can use both a store coupon and manufacture coupon together for maximum savings. They have coupons in the store ads usually and at safeway.com too! They do accept printable coupons, but there are guidelines for these and you can find them here. I'm a faithful Safeway shopper, some would say it's job security. But I would shop there even if I wasn't employed by them, and that's not because it's the only grocery store in town (which it is). I drive to the next town over to go to CVS, but I really like my grocery store out here :)

Hopefully there will be more post to come soon, since I love my deals and love to share my finds with others! I would also love to start a blog roll for all of the wonderful women who inspired me to get my savings on! And maybe some tutorials or some tips and tricks for any newcomers, but we will just have to see if I can find some time. But, for now I am off to clean the house before I go to work...
