Safeway's Bargain Meal of the Week - sales cycle of 03/25 - 03/31/09

Bargain Meal of the Week


This week, Safeway is repeating their Buy 10, Save $5 promotion that appeared in last week's ad. Check out their online ad or in-store circular for some great deals. Items include in this promotion are indicated in shopping lists below.


Meal #1 -
Oven fried Swai fillets with tossed green salad and oven glazed carrots

(My local butcher informed me that Swai is a Vietnamese catfish so this recipe calls for catfish but should easily work for the Swai fillets. We cooked some Swai fillets on the grill a few weeks ago and found it a bit salty but felt that may have been due to our particular seasoning so I'm looking forward to trying this recipe soon.)

Items to buy on sale for this meal:
Swai fillet - $3.99 per pound
Fresh Express garden salad - $1.25 (or 75 cents when you purchase 10 of the Buy 10, Save $5 promo items)
2 lb. bag baby carrots - $2.50 (or $2.00 when you purchase 10 promo items)

(you can choose to cook the vegetables with the roast or substitute other favorite vegetables and cook them separately.)

Items to buy on sale for this meal:
Rancher's Reserve Beef Chuck 7 Bone Roast - $1.59 per pound
2 lb. bag baby carrots - $2.50 (or $2.00 when you purchase 10 promo items)


Meal #3 - BBQ beef sandwiches with your favorite chips and salad

(My favorite way to make BBQ sandwiches is to serve roast one night, then shred the remaining roast leftovers and serve them with BBQ sauce on our favorite bread or rolls as sandwiches a day or two later - two great meals for the price of one cut of meat! Plus, it reinvents your leftovers so your family is more likely to enjoy them a second time.)

Items to buy on sale for this meal:

Rancher's Reserve Beef Chuck 7 Bone Roast - $1.59 per pound
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce - $1.25 (or 75 cents when you purchase 10 promo items)
Sara Lee bread or rolls (check to see if rolls are included in store sale) - $2.00
Fritos and Cheetos are each $2.00 per bag (or $1.50 cents when you purchase 10 promo items)
Fresh Express garden salad - $1.25 (or 75 cents when you purchase 10 promo items)
