Safeway Shop-Along Shopping Trip 1/21

Watch the video to see how much I saved!

I had a great time tonight!  I took 6 local readers grocery shopping, they followed along and I was able to help them pick out the deals and show them how you can maximize your savings by planning ahead, preparing your coupons, and knowing the sales! I took a video of what I bought (I should have taken a video in store! Maybe next time!)  If you’re interested in joining me on a Shop-Along, add The Frugal Find as a friend on Facebook.  I make my announcements over there.

To see all the printable coupons I used, check out this week’s Safeway deals.  Also, here is a link with the details of the newest Safeway coupon booklet – I LOVE THIS BOOKLET!

I love your videos. Safeway looks like they have great promotions/pricing. We just don’t see those kind of deals in Upstate NY and no double coupons here either :(

I love your videos! So fun to watch what you bought and hear your explanations for everything. It gives me ideas for when I shop at my Randalls (Safeway). Good job!

Thanks for the video. It give me more ideas of what to look for. How long do you think you spend prepping for a shopping trip like this (ie. looking for the coupon matchups, checking the ads, clipping coupons, etc…)? Sometimes I feel like I’m spending a lot of time… Thanks Julia!

Very nice! I’ve never been able to get past the 70% savings mark as Safeway (Vons), so this was a fun video to watch (and learn)!

Great deals Julia. I did most of these today at Tom Thumb (Safeway) and found one more great MM. The Philadelphia cream cheese is on sale for $1.49 with card and I used the following coupons: $0.75/1 from the “Make it tonight. Simple, affordable meals” coupon booklet and $o.55/2 printable coupon. So this is the scenario: Buy 5 Philadelphia cream cheeses for $1.49 * 5 = $ 7.45 and deduct 5 $0.75/1 coupons = – $3.75 and 2 manufacturing coupons $0.55 * 2 = -1.10 For a total of $2.6 OOP. AND a $5.00 catalina printed OYNO making this a $ 2.4 MONEYMAKER.
