Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[operabob]

Just got back from Safeway.

They have an instore B2G10AMs on the "Bright Green Glass Cleaner" at $3.49 each.

There are instore $1 off coupons taking them to $2.49 each.

Not as good as last week's Mr. Clean promo but there's a B1G20AM (one/visit) in the email.direct.

So 2 cost $4.98 (not counting tax) and you pick up 30 AMs for an approx. value of $4.20 effectively taking them down to $0.39 each.

[sniperc151]

is that Buy 2 get 10 AM, or Buy 2 get 30 AM?

[operabob]

snipe,

As above:

On the shelf it's B2G10.

email.direct is B1G20 but you can only get one email.direct offer/visit.

So, buying 2 gets you 10AMs off the shelf plus one 20AMs only (not 2 x 20AMs) from the email.direct = 30AMs.

This should work as I've picked up multiple AM offers on other things in the past such as 50AMs instore + 75AMs coupon bonus on batteries in the past.

ALERT !!!!!!

Mind you I think you're onto something here:

The coupon is B1G20.

Using the $1 off coupon and buying 1 only gets you the cleaner for $2.49 + 20 AMs.

20AMs = approx. $2.80 so you end up getting the product for less than the value of the AirMiles by buying individually!

Brilliant and I have two $1 coupons left and the email.direct would seem to indicate you can keep getting the offer by going through the till multiple times!!!!!

[operabob]

That should say:

The

email.direct

coupon is B1G20.

April 26 - May 2:

Lucerne Ice Cream B5G50 @ $3.49

Lucerne Products (various) B5G50 @ $2-$5.99

Kellogg's B5G60:

Eggos @ $7.99
Nutri-Grain @ $6.99
Various cereals @ $4.99 - $6.99
Kellogg's Two Scoops 350-750g or Vector Bars 4 x 55g @ $3. This seems one the best deal of the week, especially if you have coupons on the Vector Bars as $15 gets $8.40 in AMs.

Dove Products B3G20 & B6G75 This can be a good one too as deodorants are $2.50 so 6 costs $15 and gets. $10.50 in AMs.

The email.direct has Safeway Go Pop B3G50 this week but no price given. (Don't ask how I found out ;-) SDM has their housebrand "Life" @ $1.99 so if Safeway is below $4.30 they're the better deal. Coupon is also marked "One offer per visit" which would seem to indicate you can keep getting offer provided you go through the cashier more than once.

Thanks for the post, but it's killing me not asking how you know about the email direct already Your posts really help me plan my shopping trips !!

Was in Safeway last night and the pop was 3 for $9 or $3 each.

We'll see how much they boost the price to cover the added AirMiles:

Morning all, I am off to Safeway to pick up a few things today and have a quick question. I am interested in this offer:

Kellogg's B5G60:

Eggos @ $7.99
Nutri-Grain @ $6.99
Various cereals @ $4.99 - $6.99
Kellogg's Two Scoops 350-750g or Vector Bars 4 x 55g @ $3. This seems one the best deal of the week, especially if you have coupons on the Vector Bars as $15 gets $8.40 in AMs

I usually don't buy Eggo's, (make my own), however thought these might be a great addition to the camping list this summer, way less work! However I am unfamilar with the pricing of these and short of going to all the local stores to check out the pricing was wondering if these 48 pks. were a good deal at $7.99. (I do have the $2 coupons for each pak. and as well am doing my best to accumulate the AM's!)

Any thoughts on this pricing would be appreciated.

Hi,

I think 48-pk eggo at 7.99 is a fair price considering that you have $2-off coupons as well. The best price I've seen for 8-pk (fun pack) is $1 and for 16-pk is 2.97.

Thanks so much.

April 26 - May 2:


Dove Products B3G20 & B6G75 This can be a good one too as deodorants are $2.50 so 6 costs $15 and gets. $10.50 in AMs.

Thank you! I was coming on here to ask you what that works out to in airmiles since I can never figure out how to calculate it. So it would be even better if you had coupons. So if I had 6 of the $1 off coupons I would pay $9 for the 6 deodorants.

[operabob]

Just multiply the bonus AMs by $0.14 to get an estimated value. So 75 x 0.14 = $10.50.

Depending on what you use the AMs for the value varies.

Shell gas coupons work out to $0.1143

Gift cards around $0.125

Magazine subscriptions $0.18

2 for 1 Movie tickets $0. 30 to $0.40

The average of all works out around $0.14

Just got back from Safeway. Many of the Dove/Lever products are B1G1 so you get 6, pay for 3 and get 75AMs.

2 x 120ml Dove soap are $4.79 (???)
2 x 87ml Lever are $3.99 so 3 would be $11.97 (NCT) and you get $10.50 in AMs.

Roasted chickens are $7.99 so the $2 off email.direct coupons take it to $5.99.

[trinity991]

Thank you for telling me how to figure it out!

I didn't realize the chickens were on sale. I have the coupons so that's what we will be having for supper tomorrow or Saturday!

I just want to make sure I'm figuring this all out correctly. Rexall has Purex 16 roll on for $3.99 / pkg this week. Safeway has the 30 roll on for $7.99 and bonus miles of 50 when you buy two.

Is this a fair comparison?

At Rexall I'm paying $3.99 x 4 totaling $15.96, minus $2.00 in coupons for a grand total of $13.96 for 64 rolls. This works out to 22 cents a roll.

At Safeway I'd be paying $7.99 X 2 totaling $15.98, minus $2.00 in coupons for a total of $13.98 for 60 rolls. This works out to 23 cents a roll. This works out to If I factor in the bonus miles, I'm getting an additional $7.00 in AM's, right?

So even though I'm paying an additional $0.60 overall at Safeway, I'll be gaining $6.40 when I redeem for GC's, correct?

I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere in there...anyone care to wade in and let me know if I'm doing this right?
