Safeway: Skippy Catalina and Just For U Price = $0.69 each!

by Julia on October 15, 2011
Safeway

Update: Unless someone has tested it and can say otherwise, it appears the Catalina is only running on the Skippy Naturals variety.

Reader Jolene commented this morning about a HOT deal she found today when she bought Skippy peanut butter at Safeway. Remember we were talking about Peanut Butter prices going up, these are the kind of deals you need to jump on now! If you have Just For U in your area, make sure you log in as many people have Skippy peanut butter priced at $1.49 each.

There is also a catalina running, if you buy 2 Skippy Peanut Butter products you’ll get a $1.00 catalina to spend on your next shopping trip. Here is the deal you can score…

Buy (2) Skippy Peanut Butters – $1.49 each
Get a $1 Catalina
$0.60/2 Skippy Peanut Butter Products
Final Price: $0.69 each!

Thanks Jolene!

Along with my J4U price of $1.49 (Limit 2), I also have a J4U price of $1.90 (unlimited). With the Catalina, would make each jar only $1.10… not bad!

Julia, pls stress that it is only the Naturals variety producing Catalina. Naturals only. Like the one pictured in your peanut butter price rising post.

I used my J4U price of $1.49 and my $1.00/2 e-coupon and got the $1 Catalina back. Sweet deal! Thanks!!

You can’t combine a J4U price with a manufacturer’s coupon. This is still a good deal at $.99 each with the catalina, just don’t plan on using a coupon too. :(

Amanda, you actually can combine a just 4 U price with a manufacturer’s coupon. You cannot combine a Safeway eCoupon (the ones that aren’t in the ad) with a manufacturers coupon.

Yep, did that recently with the Ragu when it was on sale and ended up getting 5 jars for $1.46 total :)

Sadly, when I went, they wouldn’t let me use the coupon, and the lady was really rude to me about it too. I bought 2 jars without a coupon, put the catalina towards some ice cream for the stress and decided to call it a day. I’ll go back on Monday with the printout that says I can use a coupon and try it again. :(

I went to safeway and bought 3 Blue Diamond Almond milk that are on sale for $2.79 and used 3 $.55 coupons from the blinking coupon machine by the milk section and got a $1.50 catalina. If you buy 2 you get a $.75 catalina or if buy 4 you get a $4.00 catalina. This catalina promotion is going till 11/6 its a good deal if you like almond milk.

Went for another run to Safeway, and this deal is now comical to me!
Got 2 Skippy Natural Chunky for $.49 each Plus a Blockbuster Express Catalina with codes for two free movies!

So several elements all working together for a perfect peanut butter storm:
1). Personalized price of $1.49 limit 2 per transaction. But I have done one transaction per day and it works. So I will go in every day.
2). Loaded coupon for $1/2 went thru.
3). Catalina $1 printed.
4). Possible 2nd Catalina prints from Blockbuster for 2 free rentals, I think it is random.

Anybody else find this snowball effect funny?

I bought this yesterday and my JFU price on Skippy was $1.39 for the 16 oz. I didn’t get the catalina but I didn’t by the naturals.
