I know it's been done before, how about an updated one.

When is this "welfare week" when the stores are crowded and the prices are up - first week of every month?

I read recently about 5 Dollar Fridays at Safeway, not sure what that is but I'll try it out.

Seniors Day every Tuesday at Ross - 10% off everything for 55-plussers.

I assume cheapest gas on the East side is at Safeways but what do you need for that - just the free club membership or coupons?

Please keep on topic.

Thanks!

All of your questions regarding Safeway and their club card can be answered by going to their website: http://www.safeway.com/

The club card membership is free. For each dollar you spend, you accrue one gas reward point. One hundred reward points equals 10 cents off per gallon of gas during your next fill up. Depending on how many points you accrue between fill ups, you can save quite a bit when you do have to fill up your tank. Your gas reward points are valid for a month. The website will tell you when your rewards are due to expire.

Their weekly ad comes out every Sunday. Use care when checking out their sales...certain items are only on sale on Fridays. If you click on the sale item it will show which days the item is on sale. If you decide to shop on Fridays at Safeway, my advice is to go early...some sale items are completely cleaned out if you wait too long in the day to shop.

In addition to the weekly ads, there are also 'just for u' and 'personalized deals'. These deals are tailored to items you have purchased in the past.

We don't buy all of our groceries at Safeway, but sticking mainly to the sale items there saves us money.

Hope that helps.
