Colorado Safeway Weekly Ad & Coupon Matchups: $0.99 Heinz Ketchup + Great Deals On Chinet, Welch's Juice, And More

There’s some great deals at Safeway this week! I am kicking myself for buying Chinet plates last week – I’m losing my mojo on “wait to buy it until it reaches the lowest possible price”. This week, the large packs of plates are on sale for $4.49 and there was a $0.55/1 coupon in Sunday’s paper, making them just $3.49 after coupons! We rarely use paper plates but my family will be visiting this weekend so I decided to buy some rather than have to do some major dishes after every meal.

Also, at Starbucks locations inside Safeway stores, you can get a $2 Grande Frappuccino after 2 PM through May 28th!

These deals are valid May 23-29, 2012.

There is a buy one, get one free (mix and match) sale on a bunch of different condiments. Prices aren't listed in the ad, and my guess is that most items will be a better deal elsewhere since Safeway doesn't allow more than one coupon on a buy one, get one free sale.
