I just got back from Safeway and I saved 77% making my total only $10.02 – this includes $4 in avocados and $3 in other produce and $3 for a frozen pizza (a splurge for my hubby) PLUS lots of FREE stuff.
If you haven’t signed up for e-coupons through www.cellfire.com and www.shortcuts.com – you should! I routinely get FREE stuff from Safeway with these e-coupons and it costs me nothing and takes very little time on my part!
Nature Valley Cashew Roasted Granola Nut Clusters – $3.49
Cellfire.com coupon (expires 2/8/10) – $1/1
Cellfire.com coupon (expires 2/22/10) – $1/1
Shortcuts.com coupon (expires 3/27/10) – $1/1
PLUS I had three $0.40 e-coupons come off and I’m not sure where those were from (maybe Safeway.com? I’m checking into it)! So that was another $1.20 off!
PLUS I had a $1/1 printable manufacturer coupon from coupons.com.
So I actually had a PROFIT of $1.71 by throwing this in my cart!

So as you can see, the e-coupons really add up. The way it works is cellfire.com and shortcuts.com release new e-coupons about every two weeks. Just sign up with your club card number and add the coupons every time they come out. It costs you nothing to add them to your card – so don’t worry if you don’t use them. Often times they release the same coupon two weeks later – if you haven’t used the first coupon yet, you now have two on your card!!Ā Plus, cellfire and shortcuts often release the same coupons – so you get them from both. All you have to do is buy one of the item (unless it specifies off two) and ALL your e-coupons come off at once!
I print out a list from both cellfire and shortcuts to see what e-coupons I have on my card. Otherwise, it would be hard to remember them. Then you look through the lists and look for duplicates – PLUS figure in your paper coupons for additional savings. š
Even if you won’t eat these items, you can donate them to a friend/family member or the local food bank – when they are FREE or with a PROFIT, it can’t hurt!

For both shortcuts and cellfire coupons, it says “e-coupons” on my receipt. The only way I know whether it’s from shortcuts or from cellfire, is that shortcuts sends me an email a few hours later telling me which coupons were used.

The $0.40 coupons on your nut clusters were your Natuve Valley granola bar e-q’s. They always come off for nut clusters (but the cluster’s don’t come off for the bars, fyi).
