Chinet overage at Safeway - 5.82 profit!

I found the mythical blue Chinet plates peelies today on Chinet plates at Safeway! I have been searching high and low for those so I could pair them up with the orange Chinet cups peelies for major overage! I didn't find them until I hit the second Safeway, so my first two transactions were more of the same Chinet deal I had been doing.

SUMMARY = 5.82 profit!

The best part is I was looking at the in-ad $2 Chinet Q and it doesn't expire until New Year's Day, so don't throw away that ad! The shelf tag prices on the Chinet are good through New Year's also. I plan on making money with this Chinet deal until the last minute!

  1. Great job.. was really hoping to try this deal, but we are prepping for an SD trip and I just don't have time. :-(

    I am drooling over your deals though!

  2. Maybe you'll find some Chinet peelies in SD! I found a ton when we were in CA for Christmas. I guess the coupon craze has not infiltrated Southern California yet. :)

  3. I think I am missing something. I really want to do this deal. But the only coupons I could find were the peelies on the plates that give you free cups when you buy them. and the blinkies that are a dollar off the plates. What are the blue and orange ones you talk about?

  4. Crockett- You can do get free cups and plates with the coupons you have. This is how...

    1. Buy 3 Chinet crystal cups at 1.99 (price wyb 3, may not be taggedm but works)
    2. Buy 3 Chinet plates at $2 each with in-ad Q from last week's ad - give that Q first
    3. Give 3 1/1 blinkies for plates
    4. Give 3 orange peelies for free cups (auto deducts $3 for each Q)

    Here's the math: 13.47 - 1.50 in-ad Q - 3.00 blinkies - 9.00 orange peelies = .03 overage

    If you can find the blue peelies (free Chinet plates wyb cups), then you can get major overage as described in the post by combining both orange and blue peelies together. It took me several weeks to find those blue peelies though- I found them on plates. Let me know if you find any! Good luck!

  6. Crockett- I looked for it online, but can't find it anywhere! I have a 2 ads from last week. I don't have a scanner, so I tried to take a picture of it, but it was blurry. The code is 8945. Try giving the code to a coupon friendly cashier- if they input that code, it will act just as if the coupon is there. I/m not sure where you live, I'm in east mesa and would be happy to give you my other ad from last week. Let me know. :)
