Safeway & Bashas

I found lots of fun surprises in my mailbox today! I signed up for a free freezer tote bag from Sam's Club, so I got that today. It's actually really big and I am excited to use it for my shopping trips. It will especially come in handy during the hot summer when I am running in and out of stores. I also got an issue of my free Parenting subscription and a $25 transfer check for Walgreens. What a fantastic mail day!

No OOP at Bashas - free is my favorite price :)

  1. Great Job!!
    I got my cooler bag today in the mail as well and ur right it's awesome, good to use at the grocery stores for an extra 5 cents off of the total.

    BTW which milk r you buying to use the California Milk Q. I didn't see that milk at the SW i shop at

    TIA!

  2. Thanks Eve! I use those Qs on the Lucerne products (milk, cottage cheese, string cheese, sour cream, etc). The actual gallons don't normally have the seal, but I've had a couple of managers tell me they bottle the milk in Pleasanton, CA. The Lucerne cheese usually has the seal on it. I don't ever have a problem using those Qs on that milk. The problem comes because those Qs NEVER SCAN. EVER. I have printed them every size and shape imaginable and still nothing. 9 times out of 10, the cashier just manually enters the Q. But, one in a while, I get a grumpy cashier who won't take them. I always have a stack in my coupon stash because I am always in need of milk or cheese and its nice to only pay 1.19 per gallon. Good luck!

  4. Great idea to use the freezer tote on shopping trips! I got mine today!!! Woohoo!!! I always worry about my frozen items when I have to make multiple shopping trips. Now I'm wishing I had more freezer bags. :p

    I think Target is one (and CVS if you have the green tag), but are there any other stores that give you $off if you BYO bag?
    Thanks for the great tips girl!!!

  5. Eve- Good luck!

    J- I thought the same thing yesterday, why didn't I request more bags? :) I know Bashas does the bag credit, but I'm not sure about Albie's or Safeway. I will test it out and report back!

  6. Albertsons and Frys also gives you 5 cents off for every bag you bring in. You have to remind alot of the cashiers to do it. Safeway does not give and credit for the bags. They are great for the earth to use your own bags!!!! No more plastic everywhere!!!
