CHILL OUT AT HOME PROMO
(most of this is reposted from last week)

If you have a grocery store that is part of the “Safeway” family of stores (Randalls/Tom Thumb/Dominick’s/Genuardi’s/Carrs/Vons/Pavilions), they are having a great promotion this month called the “Chill Out at Home” promotion. The way it works is that you spend $25 on selected frozen foods, and you get a $10 catalina back that is good on your next purchase. You can use the $10 catalina to “roll” into the promotion again (so you spend $15 or less depending on your coupons the next time around). The list of participating items is HUGE! You can check out the entire list here. If you haven’t already, check out my blog post here to see how much fun I’ve had already with this promotion!

Here are the prices for some of the items (YMMV on prices based on where you are located). I went to the grocery store and scoped out prices and participating items before I made my trip so that I could plan out scenarios. (this is NOT all of the items on the list – it is just some of the items I was pricing)

Check out your store’s coupon policies. At my store, they will double the face value of one “like” coupon up to .50 and triple the face value of one “like” coupon up to .39.

Fannie has a lot of information and some scenarios here on her blog. A word of caution: check the coupon policies for your area before applying these scenarios. In her area, they double multiple “like” coupons and double coupons with a higher face value.

GET AN ADDITIONAL 10% OFF ADDED TO YOUR CARD THROUGH 3/31

Call the 1-800 number on the back of your Randalls card and ask them to add the courtesy “10% off” If they add this to your card, it will be active through 3/31. I know that people in my area have been successful in getting this to work already.

Question :How Do I get the 10% Discount added to my card?

Answer : Call Safeway at 1-877-723-3929 and ask. If denied call back as many times as necessary to get the discount applied to your card.
Alternate means of contact would be an email. http://shop.safeway.com/superstor…e=corphome Same thing email as many times as you need to in order to get the discount.

**KEY** There is no secret to getting this discount. The people who have it either have a store that has been remodeled or a grand opening. Others have called, called, and called again until they have received it.
