Safeway LW Promo Round ??

See all this food? I got it all for $35.82, and I still have $12 in cats for my next transaction.

I have a love/hate relationship with these promotions. Love it when they go well, and hate them when they don't. They take persistence!

I did two transactions - FYI ~ the Aarowhead waters are becoming very hard to find

*All products in italics are apart of the LW promo

#1

4 Aarowhead waters (you are looking for the $1.99 6 pk. w/ blue sport top lids)

20 Yoplait yogurt

1 pk. low carb tortillas $2.99

4 Classico alphredo sauces

1 Bright Green bleach

1 Tillamook cheese (had rain check for $4.49)

1 Lucerne shredded mozzerella cheese

4 SFWY pastas - FREE w/ Classico purchase

1 pk. Hormel turkey pepperoni

1 pt. Lucerne creamer

3 Wishbone salad dressings (can you believe I forgot the coupons for this? I didn't want to mess with returning or cancelling the order so I just ate it)

Used:

- $10 LW cat

- 3 $.40 Yoplait mfq

- 2 $1/2 Classico IP

- $1 Bright Green IP

- $2 DBL

Final Total: $31.78 and got $10 LW cat, 2 $2 Aarowhead cats & $2 Yoplait cat!

#2

4 Classico alphredo sauces

2 Aarowhead waters (6 pk.)

1 Starbucks coffee

2 Electrasol

1 O Organic milk

4 SFWY pastas - FREE w/ Classico purchase

Used:

- $10 LW cat

- 2 $2.50 Electrasol mfq

- 2 $1/2 Classico IP

- $1/2 Aarowhead mfq cat I got in the prior transaction

-$2 SFWY Starbucks coupon

-$.50 SFWY milk coupon

-3 $2 cats from previous transaction

- $2 DBL

Final Total: $4.04 and got back $10 LW cat & $2 Aarowhead cat!

I think I may try to get in a few more transactions tomorrow, ONLY, because I am going on vacation on Tuesday and don't want to miss out on more free Electrasol and water. Normally, I wouldn't be this crazy trying to fit so many transactions into a few days :)

Safeway Shopping

After I had two Living Well transactions go so smoothly at Safeway yesterday, I threw another one together to have another go at it. It would have been a great one had everything gone according to plan... Ah but, it was a frustrating one.



I was expecting a $10 LW cat, $2 Aarowhead water cat and a $1/2 Aarowhead mfq cat and none of them printed. The customer service was not very helpful and just wanted me to call Catalina corp, and of course, I was also on a time crunch with an appointment that I was now late to. I had to just leave and told them if they couldn't help me, I would just return it all later.



I went back this morning to see if somebody else was working customer service who would actually be helpful, and luckily they gave me a $10 Safeway gift card instead of returning or re ringing it all up. I didn't get the other two cats that I was hoping for, but will go to another store and hope for better luck.



So, if you made it this far (it really was a good scenario, I promise!), here's what I got.





5 Electrasol
2 6pk. Aarowhead water
1 Hefty trash bag 80 ct.
1 Yoplait yogurt


Used:
-5 $2.50 Electrasol mfq
- $2 Hefty mfq (home mailer)
- $2 Yoplait cat
- $2 DBL
- $10 LW cat
Final Total: $2.72 ($.60 was deposit!) & got $10 SFWY gift card
(Should have got $10 LW cat, $2 water cat & $1/2 water mfq)


I plan on trying this again so I'll let you know if this goes better the next time.

** my $10 LW Catalina didn't print either, but the machine had just run out of paper. Not sure if Mfq coupons are causing this problem or what? What has your experience been? I did go to Cust.Svc and they were able to print the $10 Cat for me.

If you use my LW Scenario your OOP would be: $20.12 + Get $10 Cat back, so $10.12!

I didn't pick this ad up until I checked out. Go to Customer Service and get the SFWY, "Living Well, Feeling Great" ad that has valuable coupons on the back pg that don't exp: 5/5. They can be combined with Mfq coupons for additional savings!
