Starting Wednesday, August 12th, Safeway and its partner stores (Dominicks, Genuardi’s, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, Randalls, and Carrs) have sale prices & promos for stocking up on lunchbox treats and afterschool snacks. By combining regular coupons with e-coupons, you can get very low prices:
Nature Valley Granola Bars are 4 for $6.00 with in-ad SuperCoupon. Use any of the following coupons for extra savings:
- .70/2 in the 8/9 insert
- .40 off at Coupons.com
- .40 off at Betty Crocker
- .40 off at Box Tops 4 Education
- .40 off at Eat Better America

Plus, there’s a Catalina promo running 8/14 through 9/6 where you get a Cat coupon at checkout: Buy 3, get $1.50 OYNO; buy 4, get $2.50 OYNO; and buy 5, get $3.50 OYNO. With four .40 off printable coupons and the SuperCoupon, you’ll pay $4.40 and get a $2.50 Cat back, for a net price of $1.90 for 4 boxes, or .48/box.
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks are 4 for $4.00 with in-ad SuperCoupon. Applicable coupons:

You can maximize the e-coupons by purchasing 2 Fruit Shapes and 2 of any other (Fruit by the Foot, Gushers, etc.). With two of each variety, plus the printable coupons, SuperCoupon and all three e-coupons, you’ll pay $1.05 total for a net price of .27/box. [I will test out my math on Wednesday and report back.]

Buy two packs so you can utilize the two e-coupons; they will both come off on your receipt. My store will double the .75/2 insert coupon, so after both e-coupons I would pay $1.88 for two packs.

Thanks so much for the head's up and the list of coupons. Nature Valley Granola bars are my son's favorites and with this deal they're cheaper than I can make them. I've printed a ton of coupons today. Thanks.
Just an FYI, I had to go to the Betty Crocker site directly, in order to print the coupons. For some reason the link didn't work.
Be sure to read Safeways NEW coupon coupon policy. I'm pretty sure you can't use other coupons with an in-ad coupon now. And they only double the first like coupon in a transaction.
Stacey–At my regular Safeway, all the coupons double, and when I've brought it to the attention of the manager, he says he doesn't want the cashiers to manually enter all the coupons, so just to go by the computer. I checked with another manager at another Safeway, and he said the same thing. I don't know why they don't have the computers programmed to follow their written policy, but they don't. The manager says it's fine, so I'm doing what he suggests because it's his store.
If you have questions about the coupon policy at your local store, talk to your manager.
Hi Gina, I got this posted makes such a great deal! I am going to try this out as well and will report back. The dark chocolate NV granola bars are soo yummy!
I tried to do this deal this morning and did get an awesome deal of granola bars-4 boxes for 90 cents total! It did not print a catalina. I wonder why?
I didn't get a Cat either, so I called the Catalina company and left a message. Someone should call me back soon. I'll let you know!
Aha–the Cat deal for NV Granola Bars doesn't start until 8/14. Duh. Seems like I should look at a calendar more often. Sorry about that!
So I just tried this – got 4 NV Granolas, 4 Betty Crocker snacks, 2 Chex Mixs, 1 Organic Raisins pack (not included in deal)
it came up to around $21 (i assume because of the ecoupons), used the super coupons, used $.40/1 coupons for the granolas and snacks (which all doubled) and $.50/1 coupons for the chex with doubled as well…
Total OOP was $5.08 and got $5 in Cat (2 Cats for $2.50 off my next purchase)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my goodness I can barely think straight. Went to Safeway for a good deal. Ended up making money- at Safeway! Two transactions, bought 8 boxes granola bars, 4 boxes cereal, 4 boxes fruit snacks, 2 boxes mac&cheese, 2 loaves bread. Total OOP under $5.00, Got back $7.50 in Cats (used one on second transaction)! Whoot. Whoot. Will post details later today.
I can't thank you enough for this post. It is a really awesome deal. You can see the details of my purchase here: http://unfinishedmom.blogspot.com/2009/08/free-groceries-at-safeway.html
