My paper puts out a "Sunday Advance" edition on Saturday, so I was happy to clip coupons today and preview tomorrow's ads!  There were a few grocery deals I thought I'd share with you.  I also want to point out that many of the items below are great grocery staples – probably stuff that would make it on your shopping list already.  And many are just great sale items, which means you don't have to hunt for any coupons. 

Incidentally, I've noticed something about finding deals on grocery staples such as dairy, meat, and produce.  These deals do come (and on a weekly basis), but they are more likely to be found by perusing the store ads.  In looking at the ads today, I found several wonderful sales and in-ad coupons for these items.  In other words, don't disparage if you're cutting up your weekly SmartSource or Red Plum insert and don't find a coupon for milk!     

Albertsons

• Boneless, skinless chicken breast on sale for $1.88/lb (in the butcher's block)
• Extra lean ground beef (85%/15%) for $1.99/lb
• Albertsons brand chicken noodle and tomato soup $0.33 ea
• Large eggs $1.19 (limit 2)
• Albertsons chunk or shredded cheese varieties 8 oz. $1.48 ea (with in-ad coupon good 3/1-3/3 ONLY) (limit 4)
• SUNDAY ONLY: Kellogs Raisin Bran on sale for $1.67 (use with the $1.50-off-2 coupon from the 1/18 Red Plum – exp. 3/1/09!) $1.84 for 2 ($0.92 ea) (limit 6)

Safeway

• 10-lb navel oranges $3.60 ($0.36/lb)
• FREE 2-liter 7-up (with in-ad coupon)*
• Lucerne butter $0.99 (with in-ad coupon)
• Kelloggs' Frosted Mini Wheats or Raisin Bran (use in-ad coupon for $0.99 price AND use $0.70-off-1 coupon from 2/22 Red Plum) – $0.29!
• Paramount Farms Wonderful Pistachios 16 oz. bag $3.99 (with in-ad coupon)

* These coupons might seem fantastic, and I do think they are noteworthy…however, it is also noteworthy to point out they require a $10 min purchase to use and they all have a limit of 1.  So do not attempt to go into the store and score 15 boxes of Raisin Bran for $0.29 each.
** Remember!  Many Albertsons stores still accept competitor coupons.  This is a great time and money saver.  Just clip the Safeway coupons out of the ad and bring them in.  If you are not sure if your Albertsons accepts competitor coupons, phone your store before you head out the door.

Fred Meyer (a Kroger store)

• In their ad this week is a coupon for $0.99 1/2 gallon milk, chocolate milk, and orange juice (limit 10)

*See my note above under the Safeway section regarding Albertsons' competitor coupon policy!  You might be able to consolidate your grocery trips further this week.

Please remember that pricing of food items may vary from region to region.  I happen to be blogging out of the greater Seattle area, so if you live a distance from that, I urge you to check out the ads for your area (Safeway, Albertsons, Fred Meyer).
