I’m responding to reader comments as part of the $249 swag giveaway contest that posting only the weekly Ralphs deals is not enough. Many readers said they wanted links to more grocery and drugstore deals because they do not live near a Ralphs. So I’m expanding this weekly post to include links to deals and freebies at Safeway, Walgreens, CVS, and Target.

What other stores would you like me to link to? Comment and I will do my best to link to them as well.

Ralphs – Cathy at Chief Family Officer shared five great Ralphs grocery deals valid 8/11-8/18. Highlights include Kleenex tissue for as little as $.69, SoBe lifewater or Juice two for $.49, Quaker Quakes Rice Snacks for $.49 each when you buy two, and Powerade for $.39.

Safeway – Here is a list of the grocery deals at Safeway courtesy of Saving Cents with Sense. They are valid 8/11-8/18. Highlights include canteloupe for $.99 each, corn for $.20 each, and Cheerios for as little as $.49 a box.

CVS – I post each weeks CVS deals on Monday. They are good through 8/14.

Walgreens – Here are this week’s Walgreens deals. I’m going to post them with Monday’s CVS going forward.

Rite Aid – Here are the deals for Rite Aid this week, which will also join the Monday post with CVS and Walgreens deals going forward.

Target – This list has all the new Target coupons available this week, though no match ups with sale prices so your savings will vary.

Going forward, I’ll link to drugstore deals on Monday and grocery deals on Wednesday.This way the posts are timed with the beginning of the sales.
