I was out running errands this afternoon and stopped by 2 grocery stores; Safeway and Fred Meyer. I was able to load up on free weenies, milk, orange juice, butter and a few candy bars {to hide in my desk} for only $10! Not to shabby if you ask me. Here is how my shopping trip played out.
Safeway Shopping Trip
Safeway has Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs {16 oz packages} on sale for $1.99 each. Whop T Do right? Well when you load the Safeway $1.00 off Oscar Mayer Hot Dog Coupon to your Safeway Just For U account, and buy 1o Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs in 1 transaction, a $10 off your next purchase catalina coupon will print out.
Here is How to Get the Weenies!

* Remember you can only use the Safeway Just For You loadable ecoupon 1 time, {the coupon states “one-time use” meaning 1 transaction}. So be sure and buy 10 packages of Oscar Mayer Winers {16 oz} in 1 transaction.

Thanks for the tips, Queen Bee Coupons, Susan, Heidi, and Jen
Melissa says
How long is the weenie sale on for?
Mavis says
Through Tuesday night 9/4!
Heidi says
I didn’t realize you could use Cat’s from another store at Freddies! Very good to know 🙂
Cassie says
What’s the rule about where you can use catalinas? I thought you could only use them at the store that dispensed them??
Mavis says
The only store I know for sure that does this in my area is Fred Meyer. Maybe QFC, I can’t remember.
Kim says
And the best part—all of it can go in the freezer
Ashley says
How are those coconut m&m’s? I haven’t tried them.
We had money-maker weinies, kraft singles, miracle whip, bologna and other yucky stuff like that last week. Freezer is full and hubby is happy 🙂 I got a kick out of the fact that I got free (unadvertised) kraft singles last week, but they’re on ‘sale’ for $2.50/pack this week, lol!
I’m jealous of your butter and milk deals, we haven’t had anything good like that lately.
Mavis says
I agree with the weenies being yucky stuff. But the way I see it, we now have enough to last until next spring LOL. Plus, they are great to have on hand in case 10 teenagers show up around dinner time. Great job on the free cheese!
Ashley says
I have a 9 month old that eats like a teenager. God help me when he turns into a teen and starts bringing friends around. That’s why I’m practicing stocking up on weinies now 🙂
Jennie W. says
I also didn’t realize you could use a Cat from another store at Fred Meyer. What?!? I just got so excited? Is that every Fred Meyer? Fred Meyer is my favorite store — I cannot believe this!
Thank you!
Heading there tomorrow…………
Mavis says
I think it is… My store has been accepting them for some time now. It works at my friends Fred Meyer too! Go try it and report back. 🙂 Saving money is rad!
Michelle says
I always get catalinas from other stores (Albertsons and WG) and take them to FM. As long as it says manufacture coupon on it they don’t even blink an eye. Good luck!
Jennie says
Oh my —- I went to do the hot dog deal and NO catalina. 🙁 I am sad. Did it end yesterday? What do you do in this case?
Lots of hot dogs here. 🙂
Good thing we are having a bbq this weekend.
Mavis says
You need to call the catalina coupon company @ 1-888-8Coupon. Make sure you have your receipt handy because they will ask you things like your transaction # and store #. It was my understanding the deal was good through tonight.
Tali says
Mavis, I just can’t thank you enough!
I was about to leave work (12 hours) and checked my emails really quick and sure enough saw that fantastic deal on hot dogs. See we do not eat that stuff (my kids just do not like it), but I have a couple of co-workers going through some rough times…..I was able to call my friend who not only loaded the coupon to my card (I don’t have smart phone), she also loaded it to hers and gave me permission to use it. I got 20 packs for free and all will go to my 2 co-workers.
Love getting free stuff and paying it forward!
Jenny says
Thanks Mavis!! Just got my free weenies at Safeway in Spokane!!!
Headed to Fred Meyer. 🙂
Heather says
I was trying to work this deal last night, after flying out of the house after seeing your post like a rocket and my husband was saying something like Whoa, where are you going this late at night?, but I am out of crappy hot dogs and need milk too. Then…oh man, I thought I was sooo being Miss Fancy Pants and grabbed a couple packages of the TURKEY franks (trying to all healthy and all…) and NO Catalina printed! So word to the wise if anyone is working this today on the last day, forget healthy, go for the OM regular franks and you should be set! 🙂 PS. Nice guy at Catalina Co took care of me this AM! Nice!
Heather says
And yes, the turkey franks are on sale for $1.99/pkg in case you don’t care about the catalina…
Rebekah says
Thanks for the hotdog tip – somehow my e-coupons made my OOP only $3.91! And I got the $10 CAT. So awesome!
Megan says
I got the no-artificial preservative Turkey hot dogs, and the cat printed. Thank for this tip!!
Brandi @ Savvy Student Shopper says
I got my weenies on Sunday! No cat printed though 🙁 I have to contact Catalina.
Lissa says
Very happy with this week. I had an aunt in town and towed her with me on quick(ish) trips to Albies and Safeway. Got 6 boxes of Nabisco crackers at Albies for $0.58ea. + received my $5 rewards coupon! Safeway did the Kraft catalina – 4 hot dogs, 2 OM deli meat, 4 crystal light. The $10 cat didn’t print so have to call the company but got the $3 crytal light catalina. Will = $1.60 MM in the end! Used that $13 (well, was supposed to!) for 2 bags spinach (0.38ea w/ J4U), 4lbs bananas (0.35/lb w/ J4U), 3 cucumbers (0.40ea w/ J4U), 3 bag snap peas (1.59 w/ J4U), 2lb bag shredded cheese (3.94 w/ J4U).
Mavis says
Nice job Lissa! I wish the Kraft catalina was around all the time.
