Safeway - Another Great Clearance find

Hopefully some of you will be able to find these in your store as well. As you can see, these Febreze Home collection reed diffusers have 50% off tags. To reiterate another feature I LOVE about these tags: Safeway scans the original bar code so the item shows up on your receipt at full price, then they scan the 50% tag which appears at the bottom of your receipt with the rest of your coupons! Well, that worked just dandy since there is currently a rebate out for Febreze Home Collection products and the rebate is based on ring up price YAY!
The rebate form can be found here and it requires a purchase of at least $20 worth of Febreze Home Collection products. Well, each of these Febreze Reed Diffusers are $7.19 BEFORE 50% savings. So here is the breakdown:

3 Febreze Reed Diffusers $7.19 each - $3.60 from 50% tags - 3 $1 coupons from Right at Home mailers (I post these numerous times for you to order) = $7.77

I will now mail off for the $10 rewards card rebate for a profit of $2.23 (less the cost of the stamp!)

Freebirds- Half way to a free burrito

Freebirds keeps the deals a-coming (why oh why don't they have a Sugar Land location!)
Not only can you still get a Freebird for the Hybrid pricing through Wednesday, but on Wednesday and Thursday if you make a stamp purchase(Hybird, Freebird, Monster, Salad, Nachos, 3 Tacos or Quesadillas), you will earn 5 bonus stamps with your Fanatic card. That is half way to a free burrito.
Available for registered Fanatics only. Limit 5 bonus stamps per card per day.

Sounds to me like a double dip on Wednesday. Just take your coupon to get a Freebird, pay Hybrid pricing and get 6 stamps toward your 10 needed for another burrito! Yummy

Randalls run- Yay for clearance tags!

Went to Randalls because I needed bananas and lettuce so I decided to buy more fruit snacks since they are only .45 for 5 boxes after promo, cat deal and IPs.

I was excited to see the Chiquita singles were still $1 so FREE with the tearpad coupons I found at the Randalls that was sold out of these before my trip. (There is also a .50 loadable at Upromise- does not come off at register, but adds to Upromise savings) Well, I always check the clearance while there and I am super glad I did! They had 9 boxes of Multi Bran Chex cereal with those wonderful 50% stickers attached. All Chex cereals are part of the Buy 4 save $4 promo, so I knew this was a HOT deal.
Here is my breakdown:

*Prices listed are AFTER the $1 has been taken off for the buy 4, save $4 promo(you only have to buy at least 4 items, not in multiples of 4)
5 BC fruit snacks .99 each - .50 IP doubled - .50 IP face value = $3.45 (earns $3 oynso cat for buying 5)
1 Cheerios $1.49 - $1 peelie = .49
9 Chex cereal $1.49 each - $1.25 for 50% sticker(they ring up 2.49 first, so 1.25 gets taken off with sticker) - 2 $3/3 peelies - $1.50/3 catalina = -$5.34


2 Arm and Hammer detergent $4.99 each - $5.99 free coupon(on sale for $4.99 wyb 2 so cashier took off 5.99 ring up price, I got these free coupons from my BlogHer convention) = -$2
1 Clorox bleach $1.99
1 Safeway tuna .69 - .50 hurricane map coupon = .19
1 Bush's beans .89 - .20 MDA booklet coupon = .29

6 Chiquita singles $1 each - $1 tearpad = FREE (plus .50 and 1% savings into upromise)
Grapes $1.14
Bananas .80

Cost oop: $2.80 and earned $3 oynso
Green leaf lettuce $1.79

Randalls run - needed milk since coming back from vacation

I needed milk and that was the perfect excuse to get out of the house and go shopping! I loaded up my Randalls card, printed up coupons and set out for Randalls. I wanted to take advantage of the advertised buy 4 save $4 promo they have advertised. What I like about this promo is that you do NOT have to buy in groups of 4, just need to have 4 or more items to get the discounted price.


Now, I am not exactly sure what happened to a few prices on my first transaction(2 items rang up cheaper?) Here is how I worked the deals:Trans #1: (my card)
