I never got a chance to post my second Safeway trip on Tuesday:
First transaction –
Total Spent: .25 cents
Total before coupons: $25
I got:
5 boxes of Nature Valley bars
5 boxes of broth
This was the last day of the $5 off 5 promo at Safeway, and these items were both included in the sale. I used .50/1 coupons for the Nature Valley, which I got out of a recent insert; I also rolled the $3.50 catalina coupon (more on that in a moment). For the Progresso I used this printable, which I had multiples of since we have many computers. The register then automatically deducted $10 for the promo!
I should have also received another coupon for $3.50 off for buying the Nature Valley, but there was a problem with the catalina machine (I’m guessing it was out of paper), and it didn’t print. However, I’ll just contact the catalina marketing company directly and they’ll mail me the coupon. But unfortunately, this messed up my second transaction:
Total spent: $3.40
Total before coupons: $6.00
Got:
2 packages of Kotex – used 2 $1 off printables
I was going to use the coupon that should have printed out to pay for the rest of my total, but alas. Although as it turned out, I wouldn’t really have been able to use it anyway, since the “on your next order” coupon would be for $3.50 off. For some reason, when I was deciding on the items to buy, I had it in my head that the coupon was for $3.25 off; I don’t know where I got that number from. Have I mentioned that it’s been a quad-shot week?
