Today is 10% Tuesday at Safeway stores. I try to get all my groceries on this day, enough for a month but I know I will be making return trips at least twice for milk and bananas and other random things that I didn't know I needed. You can get 10% off your purchases or 10x your air miles. I always get the 10% off.
Now, I know that Safeway is the most expensive grocery store in my town. A lot of people tell me "Your not actually saving money on 10% Tuesday because Safeway's prices are so high". I hear all of this but I still shop at Safeway.
I like Safeway. I like being able to find the things I want/need. I can never find things in other stores and end up going back and forth, from one end of the store to the other, looking for the items I have on my list. I really like the produce selection. Other stores don't carry as much or there is just something off about the taste of other stores product (cucumbers especially). I like that the parking lot is huge and I don't have to drive around and around looking for a space and then worrying about backing up without running into another vehicle like in other store parking lots. Safeway is my comfort store.
After taking my baby to daycare I hit up Safeway. I filled my cart to brim, got almost everything on my list and then some. I even used some coupons that I had been carrying around for months. Now I'm not like The Krazy Coupon Lady and I only saved $78 but that's good enough for me. My bill was under $300, so I was only over by a wee bit. I even had time to get it all home and put away in the cupboards before going to pick up my son. Mission accomplished!
