Last week I shared some exciting Safeway news for those in the DC and Baltimore metro areas. These 140 Safeway stores have introduced new everyday low prices on thousands of items. This program is also underway at Safeway family stores in areas of California, Nevada, Illinois, and Florida. Throughout the stores, you’ll find thousands of yellow tags showing you the old price (crossed out) and the new everyday low price. If the item is also on Club Card sale, that price will be shown as well. And for those in the DC and Baltimore areas, two of your local radio stations are giving several Safeway shoppers the chance to win $1,000 gift cards. Those contests run through the 18th, so be sure to find out now how to win.
Last week Safeway provided me with a $250 gift card, so I could try shopping their new everyday low prices. I did a little dance when the FedEx man arrived with the card on my porch. Grocery shopping in a store touting new low prices? Count me in!
Since my nearest Safeway required a bit of a drive, I decided to spend my whole gift card in one shopping trip. After carts full and hours in the store, here’s what I was able to buy:
As you can tell, I was able to stock up on some high-dollar items such as diapers, wipes, insulated sippy cups, wine, and coffee. And my stockpile on items like canned beans, cereals, soups, and pasta is now overflowing.
In celebration of the new everyday low prices program, I’m thrilled to announce that I am offering my biggest Frugal in Virginia giveaway yet- five winners will each receive a $50 Safeway gift card. Yep, that’s right. Five winners. $50 each.
While the new everyday low prices are location-specific, Safeway family stores are nationwide, so this giveaway is open to everyone, not just those in the “new everyday low prices” areas. I do ask, however, that you only enter if you live close enough to one of these stores to actually use the gift card. (Safeway stores include Pak n Save, Von’s, Pavillions, Genuardi’s, Dominick’s, Carrs, Randall’s, and Tom Thumb.)
There are two ways to win.
1. Photo Contest- One $50 gift card will be rewarded to the winner of this contest.
Take a picture in front of your local Safeway showing me how excited you are about the bargains available at the store. Get creative! Extra points for funny. Email it to me before September 24th at 11:00 PM. (Email: mrsadams84 at yahoo dot com). Please put “Safeway Picture Contest” in the subject line. The top two pictures, chosen by me, will be posted to this site soon after and readers will then vote for their favorite picture. The picture with the most votes wins. By submitting your picture, you are agreeing that I can post it publicly on my site if you are in the top two. All other pictures will be discarded after the contest.
2. Comments- Four winners from the comments below will be chosen at random to each win a $50 Safeway gift card. You have four chances to win. You can enter in each of the four ways, or just pick which entries you would like to submit. Make sure you leave a separate comment for each entry.

Hello – I subscribe and I love this blog! Thanks for all that you do.
.-= Amber´s last blog ..Continued Support =-.
I would love to use the gift cards to provide some food for some local homeless people in the area!!! would be very useful since we see them pretty often here lately!
I would stock up on some frozen food items after just having Baby #2 these would be easy to make!
Ah, how great! I live right outside DC, and I always preferred Safeway but made myself shop at Giant to keep costs down, so this is SO exciting!
My fiance and I are getting married at the end of the month, and we’ve been the ones paying for our own wedding. This means we’ve had to cut back MAJORLY in all areas of our lives, including groceries. Right now we spend about $50/week, which covers all three meals for both of us for the entire week. This gift card could buy us groceries for a week, which would mean that much more money for the wedding! That would be amazing! Thanks so much!

I would love to use the gift card for those special deals that only Safeway offers. Thanks
I’d love to use the $50 gift card to stock up on healthy snacks for my kids school lunches! I have a pretty good stock of sugary snacks and chips from because coupons for those things are so readily available. Having $50 free to spend on fruits & veggies would be fabulous!!!
.-= Jen E. ´s last blog ..Another HOT Printable Coupon – Huggies $2 Off =-.
I love Safeway!
Right now I’d get Healthy Choice entrees (they are on sale for $2.99 ea, but if you purchase 5 it’s $1.99 ea, and there are $2 coupons at healthychoice.com), also some Yoplait yogurt that’s on sale for $.50/cup if you buy 10 – there are coupons out for these and Safeway donates a pink lid to Susan G. Komen foundation to find cure for cancer for every 10 cups you purchase… There are lots of great deals to be had, and with printable coupons, shortcuts and cellfire, $50 giftcard would really go a long way at Safeway.
Thank you so much for a chance to win!

I noticed the new yellow tags at Safeway and will definitely be shopping there more than Harris Teeter. They opened a new one in DC a few months ago and it is so nice.

Hi Dana,
I would buy lots of groceries with my $50 Safeway gift card, such as milk, eggs, cheese, bread, pasta, meat and other (practical) items for making lunches and dinner for the week. And of course I’d try to combine coupons and sales with my gift card to get the best bang for my buck!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I live in Norfolk, but my grandmother (and my aunt, who is her caretaker) live in Kensington, MD. I would give it to them to use – they have really been struggling lately to buy groceries and not eating very well. My grandfather is in a very expensive nursing home. Last year for her birthday, my brother and I bought her a $50 Safeway gift card and it made her so happy. I would love to do that again for her!!!
I just signed up to subscribe to your site! :-)
I just moved to Virginia from Canada so I’d save it so I can use it to cook my very first American Thanksgiving dinner!
I would give half to my parents and keep half for my self for sandwiches when I’m running late and don’t pack a lunch!
I’d like to buy some frozen veggie and produce for after school snack; also cereals for breakfast!

I’m a subscriber! And have been for a while. Live in MD and love all the local tips.
I would buy more meat for my freezer. My husband is getting worried about swine flu and wants us to be prepared to pull my elementary kids out of school if necessary and live in our house, without going anywhere (!!) for 3 or 4 weeks if necessary. Stockpile will get us through, but it will be pretty meatless and wild recipes at the end. I really hope he is over reacting to the all the media reports.

And final entry for the Safeway gift card: why I could use this gift card.
Next Friday is my last day at my office job. I am leaving to pursue my dream of an acting career full time. I am excited, but also terrified — about health insurance, about making ends meet, about falling on my face. As such, I know I’m going to have to become a lot more aware of coupons and special deals. A giftcard to safeway will help me because it will give me another month where I won’t have to worry about whether I can afford to eat. Thanks.
If I won, I’d use the giftcard to buy fun stuff for the holidays coming up. I’ve got two kid’s having a birthday soon. Plus I’d get stocked on Halloween treats and stuff for school lunches. Thanks for the great give-away!
I absolutely love your blog!! You have help me say 100’s of dollars in the last 6 months.
If I won the $50 Safeway card, I would definitely stock up on meat for my freezer. Thanks for the chance at the give-way!
I am a reader/subscriber and love having the “local” take on frugal living. Thanks for all you do!
I’d use it to help restock my pantry with basic stuff that we’ve been using up.
I would use the gift card for some “meat”…the Safeway meat is usually the best in the area — and I often go just for the meat! Was in about 2 weeks ago they had ground beef for .99 a lb… you cannot beat that! I bought about 12 lbs ~ made lasagne, meatballs, meatloaf, taco’s, etc. and froze –thing was the meat was FRESH and you could tell.

Please enter me for the $50 Safeway card giveaway! I would use it to stock up, since we just moved to NoVA from Texas and my stock piles are all low. I’m also a high-risk pregnancy, trying to make it into my second trimester. We’re trying to avoid the high costs of eating out, but my husband is doing most of the cooking. Extra grocery $$ would be a huge help right now!
I have a new baby… so I’d load up on baby supplies like diapers and baby food.

I would love to start my stockpile with this gift card. It would be such a blessing, as I just lost my job two weeks ago. Thanks for a great contest!
I would use the gift card to buy groceries for me and my family. I’ve recently decided to clip coupons and such to decrease my grocery bill and a gift card would really help. :)
.-= Christie´s last blog ..Retiring MANY itmes =-.
I would love this gift card! My biggest weakness is ice cream. I definitely would buy some!
I would use this to buy a week’s worth of groceries. My husband and I are on a very low budget and would then be able to put the money I would have spent into savings for something needed in the future that we wouldn’t be able to afford.
I absolutely love safeway and I could really use giftcard right now for groceries. I live off of student loans and my boyfriend just went from a full time job to being a full time student as well! I would love to stock up on pantry necessities so I can focus on school instead of trying to pinch a few pennies just to make ends meet!

I would love to win a gift card. I have been clipping coupons and using them mainly when the items are on sale to get them at their lowest prices and to save money. I have three boys and right now it has been quite difficult, as I’m sure it has for many people. My husband is not working and I received a pay cut from my job. My hours are slim to none and we have both been looking for work. I love shopping at Safeway. They have great deals!!!
I would use it to maximize my coupon savings. My goal is to spend no more than $50 every 2 weeks on food. So the GC would help me reach my goal.
I also posted it on my blog.

Well, can I enter for my brother? We don’t have a Safeway here, but I loved shopping there when we lived in CO. Anyway, my 31 year old brother is in the PhD program and University of Virginia. To say he is broke is an understatement. He could really use this gift card.

I’d use the gift card to stock up on some Safeway deals. We’re a little low in the pantry right now, and so is our local food bank!
I would love to win to get items we use everyday — milk, bread, fruits, vegetables, meat, and to use the rest to add to my stockpile. I really love shopping at Vons and am excited that they are lowering prices.
I have been loving safeway more and more and a $50 GC would really go a long ways!

I’d really love to win this- things are extremely tight right now, and I could really stretch the $50 a long ways, especially between Safeway’s lower prices & coupons. thanks for the chance!

I would use the gift card to buy groceries. We could really use the money right now, because we are down to only one income.
I could really use this because we are moving to Montana in the next couple months, and will need to re-stock our pantry since we’re trying to use up as much of it as we can now, so we don’t have to move it all there!
I would love to win, since moving to a new area Safeway is our only grocery store.
I’d use it to offset our grocery bill, my husband is a financial consultant and works just off of commission… needless to say his paychecks have taken a nose dive due to this economy, this will really help us put the $ somewhere else we have been needing it. The nearest Safeway is a little far, but not too bad if you plan it around a trip to DC.

I could really use a Safeway gift card, my husbands company has gone under and we are having to really stretch every penny right now.

Thank you! I love Safeway!
Trying to cut my weekly budget for 4 people down to $50/wk so this gift card would be a great start. I can take it to the store sans any cash or credit. If the card won’t cover it, I can’t buy it.
Good Luck everyone!
would love the opportunity to win one of your cards! I finally achieved coupon “nirvana” this week when Safeway paid ME to shop! : )

I could use this card because, we shop at Safeway 3 times a week!

As for WHY I want to win. I am a teacher and we switched from an early start to a regular start date this year, and in the process, I am lucky enough not to receive a paycheck in August since we switched our starting date from Aug to Sept. So I’ve been living off savings and every little bit helps to build it back up. I’d use the $50 GC and put $50 back into savings for future emergencies.

I would love to win a gift card! I have just discovered coupons and $50 would go a long way to keep my cupboards full!
I would buy groceries for my family for a whole month – using loadables, printables, clipables, and more coupons!
I would try to buy as much as possible after coupons to help stock my own pantry and the pantry at our church which gives for away constantly to those in need.
I subscribed – just found your blog.
I would love to win. It would help me and my husband (broke newlyweds) get going. Thanks :)
Safeway has a buy so much get so much off deal every year in October and I’d use the gift card for that deal.

A gift card would be a mitzvah without compare. My family is and has been mired in poverty. It’s affecting our physical and emotional health, the marriage itself, our son’s self-esteem… it’s a seemingly never-ending nightmare that won’t end or even ease temporarily without a miracle. Despite the spouse’s (low-paying) job and my sporadic freelance checks, we do without food more than I care to admit. Today, we lost our health insurance. The only way we can get food is via Safeway delivery, as we have no car and are not near public transport (largely trapped in the house 24/7/365) — and as you can guess, affording Safeway is darn near impossible for us. Wow, would this gift card help our efforts to feed a very hungry and needy 13-yr-old. Thank you for offering it and please… pick us!

I am subscribed to your Frugal in Virginia blog (hey, it helps Marylanders too!) via my Google Reader account.
With a husband who just got back from deployment this is much needed to get him and my daughter feed the way they should. A nice welcome home steak dinner would be amazing!
I would buy lots of sales items that I could double with coupons to see how much I could get out of the $50!

I just found I am highly sensitive to gluten and have to change my whole diet to cut out wheat. Grocery shopping wheat free is SO expensive- I would use the $250 Safeway Giftcard to stock up on many wheat free products to help cook and bake my way to a healthier life!
I just quit my job, so I would use the card to stock up on whatever happens to be the best deal at the time.
I would love to win! I do my regular grocery shopping at Safeway each week and check your blog for the weekly deals and matchups!
I’m also a subscriber and have been subscribing for awhile! thanks for the great tips! :)

We are a newly one income family… and are struggling with a monthly shortfall in expenses versus income. we could sure use this as we are going grocery free until pay day.

My husband is getting his PhD and will be in school for about 3 more years, and we just had a little girl that I want to stay at home with, so we could ALWAYS use gift cards. I would love to buy simple things like groceries and baby items.
Thanks!
I would buy baby food. My twins will be starting solids in the next week or so.
Honestly, I would probably stock up on diapers, formula and fruit, because I LOVE Safeways fruit!!! loriannehooper@hotmail.com
I just subscribed!!! YEAH!

I would use it to buy food for our family (stuff for the kids’ school lunches, staples like milk, bread, juice). We are on quite the budget right now due to unexpected circumstances last week (I was carjacked at gunpoint) , having had to put a hold on funds on our debit card for the car rental deposit. Thank you for consideration:)
Always love getting my email updates from Frugal in Virginia!
I could really use this right now because of a recent move and several life changes!!
