A Full Freezer
As you can imagine, it was difficult to be away from my coupon blogs the first week of national frozen food month.
However, I can testify that you do not need a computer to be able to coupon!! Oh, sure, it is way easier with a computer (thanks to coupon blogs!!), but if you have a good friend who is keeping you up to date (thanks Susan!!) and access to your weekly ads, plus a WHOLE lot of time on your hands, you too can have a full freezer without the use of a computer.
I’m posting this for inspiration, however most of the deals are over. So sorry! I was able to use the $10/$50 coupon that was available last week (TWICE!), plus there was a $5 off of a $15 frozen food purchase coupon that could be used in conjunction with it.
I didn’t take pictures of all of my trips because I figured that I wouldn’t be able to help anyone out with their weekly trips, but just think of this as inspiration!
This was my trip #1, in a single transaction:
My second transaction (the next day):
I majorly stocked up on meat! BOGO sales + the loved/hated $10/$50 coupon = stock up!!
I won’t break it all down for you, but 12 bags of frozen veggies cost me $2 OOP (total!! For 12!!)!
I did several more transactions later in the week:
3 Danimals Yogurts
1 gallon milk
bananas
apples
$3.32
12 bags of frozen veggies
75¢ ( I used a $1.25 Catalina that I earned in a previous transaction.)
2 Cinnamon Cherrios
1 Quaker Oats Squares
1 Honey Bunches of Oats
$1.21
3 Danimals Yogurts
2 Mini CPK Pizzas
$2.97
6 Mini CPK Pizzas
75¢ (I went through self-checkout and used the Cats that printed to pay for my transaction!)
8 Trident Vitality gum
3 Danimals Yogurts
81¢ (By the way, the gum is BOGO until March 15th, and there was a BOGO coupon in this week’s Smartsource, which means FREE gum!)
And then I did this one last night:
Total of all of my purchases (even those that are not pictured)
Before coupons: $371.75
What I paid: $70.06
There is no room in either of my freezers!! I am stocked UP on frozen veggies! I have lots of meat!! I have a raincheck to get more Cinnamon Burst Cheerios for 24¢ a box . . . I’m good!

Once again I am so envious that your Safeway lets you use the $10/50 before coupons. Mine absolutely won’t so the best I can do is $40 OOP. Not worth it most of the time for me.
Good job! I totally stocked up on cereal though this time around, I was getting low. I think I ended up with 12 boxes for around $4.

Oh, Kristin, you really should complain to corporate!! The $50 is after club card savings and Safeway coupons, but before manufacturer’s coupons. It’s on their coupon policy and all over Facebook. Your manager needs to make things right!

I wasn’t going to bother but Frugal Living did a whole post this week on the problems with the coupon so I just sent them an email. We’ll see what happens. I have had problems at both Newberg and Sherwood. Hopefully it will help.

[...] I saved money by NOT shopping, and besides, I am so stocked up it’s crazy. I may head to Safeway tomorrow, for basics (milk, eggs, cheese, etc), but I’m not seeing [...]
