Safeway: Howard’s Colgate promo update

Howard tried out the Colgate promo that we posted in the Safeway post this week and let us know the details that he learned. Here’s what he let us know:

Here’s what I learned this morning at Safeway re the Colgate promo:
1. The ad picture is misleading. The Total toothpastes are 2 for $7, not 2 for $5. Only the ones that are regular price $4.49 are on sale, not the others.
2. The only 2 for $5 products are Max Fresh and 2-in-1 pastes. Neither of these matches with the $2 coupons,both SS and printable.
3. The 2-21 SS cpn is good on only 4 products. My store did not have any of them, but I’m certain these are higher-priced items that aren’t in the sale. (Optic White High Impact; Total Daily Repair; Enamel Health Mineral Repair; Sensitive Smart White)

He also came up with two scenarios:

Buy 4 Colgate Total Toothpaste on sale $3.50
Buy 1 Soft Soap Pump (8-10 oz) on sale $2
Save $5 Instantly
Use (4) Use $2/1 coupons (will need 2 computers)
Use (1) $1/1 coupons or $2/1 coupons from 2/21 SS insert
Use Safeway double (-$2)
FREE after coupons, instant savings, and double

Buy 2 Colgate Total Toothpaste on sale $3.50

Use (2) $.50/1 Colgate coupons from 2/21 SS insert

Thanks, Howard!

Most of these deals use a Safeway double coupon, which is available at Oregon & SW Washington (Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania & Klickitat Counties) Safeways only. You can double up to 4 manufacturer’s coupons per transaction, up to 50¢ each. The double coupon is found in the weekly ad at the bottom of the middle page and look’s like this:

Safeway stores are inconsistent from store to store with their double coupon policy. The following is taken directly from Safeway’s Just4U coupon policy on their website:

Check with your local store regarding “double coupon” promotions where customers will receive double the manufacturer coupon face value off the regular or club card price up to the identified limit. Not all locations offer double coupon promotions and the terms of such promotions may differ by time and store. Limitations and restrictions for double coupon promotions may change at any time. Changes will be posted in store only. “Double coupon” promotions do not apply to any internet or digital coupons except for applicable internet printed manufacturer coupons. These explanations and restrictions on “double coupons” apply to any promotion that increases the value of a manufacturer coupon beyond its face value.
