Celebrate Thanksgiving by Shopping Safeway


Yoke's Fresh Market and Walgreen's Trip on Saturday
Walgreen's I purchased the Almay Pure Blends makeup on sale for $9.99, I used a $2 RR. Total price $8.82 and I received a $10 RR, not too bad.
Yoke's Fresh Market:
Our house lives on Tillamook Ice Cream and they have it on sale for $2.99, lowest price you will see.
I purchased:
2 gallons of ice cream
6 lbs of the boneless skinless pork chops
Harvati Cheese that was on sale
Total $16.00 and saved $19.25. Saving more than 1/2 always makes me happy.
$5 meals for a family of 4 - Ingredients purchased from WinCo Foods
I am happy to participate in the $5dollar dinners Bargain Meal of the Week.
