Safeway Deals 3/23/11 & Farm Fresh Eggs

I saw a coupon at Safeway this week where you could get $5.00 off a $15.00 frozen food purchase. Perfect, I thought! I always see couponers get amazing deals so I was sure that I could find someone that posted about this deal.

Unfortunately after a long time (wayyyyyy tooooooo long)....I gave up my search. I had to figure it out myself. There were a lot of deals out there, but I wasn't interested in the processed foods, just vegies.

I did find $1.00 off Cascadian Farm products by searching the Internet (which I didn't use because they didn't have the vegies that I wanted).

You save 33% with this deal if you buy $15.00 worth of items. I spent $16 so I technically didn't save 33%, but you'll get the idea.

• Organic corn, broccoli, spinach and green beans normally $2.50 I paid $1.68 per pound
• 1 bag of cherries $4.00, I paid $2.68 for one pound (for smoothies)
• 2 cans of frozen juice (I make jelly with this) was $2.00, I paid $1.34 for two cans
• pesticide (LOL) grapes $2.28 - better than buying snacks at the basketball games this weekend
• farm fresh eggs $12.00 for 4 dozen eggs

When I received my Azure Standard order, I didn't receive broccoli or beans so this sale will come in handy. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to go back again or not.

Before I went I wrote down the costs of each price:

• $1.00 = $.67
• $1.50 = $1.00
• $2.00 = $1.34
• etc

The trick is buying $15.00 exactly. I thought I was a penny short and bought another juice just in case.

I planned on buying 6 bags of organic veggies at $2.50 * 6 = $15.00 minus the $5.00 coupon which would make them $1.68 each.

I think.

No wonder I don't like to do deals - makes me think way too much!

P.S. The coolest thing I heard today was this...I was working at the food pantry here and a lady said "no, I don't need those, please give them to someone more in need than myself." COOL!!!
