Safeway Lowering Prices on Grocery Staples

The Washington Post reported today that Safeway grocery stores in the Washington DC region are lowering prices on staples including paper products, laundry supplies and coffee by as much as 25%. The price changes are in response to shoppers become more frugal in their grocery shopping habits.

The new Safeway sale ad highlights some changes in everyday prices. For instance, Maxwell House Coffee 33 oz has dropped from $12.29 to $8.99, Hamburger Helper changed from $2.59 to $2, Barilla Pasta dropped from $1.85 to $1.49 and Gain Laundry Detergent 150 oz fell from $17.99 to $14.99.

I have found Safeway to have some of the highest regular prices in my local area. I occasionally shop for sale items at the store but I rarely buy regularly priced things that I need there. Safeway does have awesome sale prices from time to time, especially with their Super Coupons. I wonder if the new lower everyday prices will effect the types of sales we see at the store.

Has anyone seen Safeway dropping regular prices in any other regions of the country?

Red Plum Coupons Back in the Washington Post

Back in February, Red Plum coupon inserts disappeared from the Washington Post Sunday paper and they started coming in the mail instead. Last week the Red Plum inserts reappeared in my Post. I did some research on redplum.com and it looks like there will be no more Red Plum inserts coming in the mail in my area. Go here to find out where to get Red Plum coupons in your area.

Saving Money at Disney World

My family made a trip to Disney World for vacation a few weeks ago. I thought I would compile a list here to share the frugal tips that worked for us.

Food
1. All counter service restaurants will give you free large glasses of ice water if you ask. At lunch time, we ordered 2 sodas for my husband and I and 4 glasses of ice water. I brought along Crystal Light To Go packets and made lemonade for the kids. We used the 2 extra cups to refill our water bottles.

2. If your kids love their PB&Js, then pack their lunch and bring it to the parks. My kiddos would rather have a packed lunch of their favorites than the expensive purchased lunch.

3. Bring your own breakfast or split large meals. My kids ate bagels with jelly, a juice box and applesauce or fruit bowl (all of which we brought with us to the resort) every morning. My husband and I split a breakfast sandwich or omelet from the food court. The portions were too large for us to each order a separate breakfast.

4. Where did we get the food to do 2 & 3? We stopped at the grocery store on the way to our resort. We purchased peanut butter, jelly, bread, bagels, Diet Coke, juice boxes and bottled water for $30. I also had packed in our suitcase applesauce, fruit bowls, goldfish, pretzels and a few more snacks. We saved at least $225 by doing this.

5. I ordered off the kids menu from counter service restaurants when I wasn't too hungry. Food portions are large at most counter service restaurants.

6. Research menus before your trip at allears.net. You will know ahead of time which restaurants serve food you enjoy and which restaurants you can afford!

7. Bring bottled water with you to the park. We brought 1 per person. Then refill it with cold water throughout the day. (see #1)

Souvenirs
1. Do not go into the gift shops if you can avoid them! I really wanted a $6 Mickey Mouse Kooky pen but I stayed strong. I just kept reminding myself that I didn't really NEED a $6 pen. You can't always avoid the gift shops since attractions sometimes exit through them.

2. Make your kids spend their own money on souvenirs. Once it's gone, it's gone. Or in our case, the kid decides the souvenirs aren't worth the money.

3. Buy some souvenirs before you arrive. I purchased these fan bottles at Walmart for $6 each. They were for sale at the parks for $16 each. Trust me- in Florida in July you will want one of these. My husband used it just as much as the kids. We purchased autograph books at the World but we brought our own Sharpies so we didn't need to buy $6 pens (see #1)!

General Tips
1. Book your vacation through a travel agent knowledgeable about Disney World or do research on vacation deals and discount codes to find the best deals. Hotels and park admission are the bulk of your expenses, so be diligent about researching a good price. Also if you are flexible with travel dates, check the calendar for peak, holiday, regular and value season times. Mousesavers.com is a good place to start.

2. Find free things to do. My kids loved playing in the fountains that squirt out of the sidewalks in Downtown Disney. The Lego Imagination Center also has bins of Legos outside for kids to enjoy. At Epcot, make the (free) masks and collect all the mask decorations from the Kidcot Stops in the World Showcase.

3. If you are renting a stroller, buy multi-day rentals to save a few dollars a day. We purchased the rentals two days at a time instead of all at once just in case we decided we didn't need a stroller one day.

4. Do your best to pack everything you will need during your stay. How much does sunscreen cost at a Disney gift shop? $13

Upromise eCoupons

If you are a Upromise member, have you tried their eCoupons yet?

eCoupons are different from traditional coupons because you don't get the savings off of your grocery bill. Instead, the savings are deposited into your Upromise account. The great thing is that you can use a manufacturer's coupon on the item in the store and still get the eCoupon savings in your Upromise account.

The eCoupons only work with purchases from certain stores. I am excited because Super Fresh was recently added as one of the stores! Other stores in my local area that are part of the eCoupon program include CVS, Giant, Food Lion, Safeway, Shoppers Food Warehouse and Harris Teeter.

In order to participate, you must log in to your Upromise account each month and activate the coupons you want. (I activate them all.) Then if you buy the item at a participating store, the savings are deposited into your account.

If you are not a Upromise member, I highly recommend that you join- even if you are not saving for college. Anyone can join and you don't need to use the money earned to pay for college. You can have your earnings deposited into a participating 529 college savings plan, you can use it to pay down a student loan from Sallie Mae, or you can request your earnings as a check and use them for whatever you please! It is easy to join and requires little mantenance after you register your store loyalty cards and credit cards.
