NO MORE EXTENDED $5 FRIDAY

Well, it was definitely nice while it lasted. For the past year or so, Safeway has been allowing us to load the $5.00 Friday offers onto our Club Cards and shop those offers through the weekend. It made it so many of us who were unable to get there on Fridays were still able to head to the store and grab the great $5.00 Friday sales.

I have just confirmed that Safeway has ended the Week-end Long $5.00 Friday Just For U program:

$5.00 Friday comments

 

I for one, am sad to see it go. I never shop on Fridays because I live too far out of town. I thought it was an awesome move by Safeway to extend it for the whole weekend because more people are likely to have time to stop by and shop in their stores.

I know that I always bought more than the $5.00 Friday stuff when I was there, so they were making money in other areas as well. I am hoping they will reconsider their decision and bring the extended $5.00 Fridays back, but for now, I guess I will just have to miss out on the deals again. 🙁

What do you think about them stopping the extended $5.00 Friday offers?

    Very sad. First, Albertsons changes now Safeway. Are they TRYING to make us shop at Walmart?

      LOL I agree Christine. They are making it easier for us to make the choice just to price match everything.

    Didn’t know they extended it in the first place. I don’t generally shop at Safeway anyway because there are much better deals in other stores close-by. I’m just thankful that I have lots of places to choose from.

      Safeway $5.00 Friday usually has some really great buys. I am sad to have to miss out on those deals again since they have it back down to only one day to get them. 🙁

    Safeway lost my business a long time ago and is doing a horrible Job of earning it back. This is just one more thing that has me shopping elsewhere.

      I was really on board with the extended $5 Friday to give more people the chance to get the deals. I guess we will just continue to roll with the changes. 🙁

    First, they end Deal Match and now they end Extend Fridays Deals. They are just putting the screws to us. Did anybody notice that they have gotten rid of most sales on fruits/vegs and other stuff and just advertise their regular prices.

      They have definitely made some changes that are not helping us get as many good savings there. 🙁

    I was just trying to load my $5 dollar Friday’s specials to my just for you list, but couldn’t find them. I had to look it up on this website for an answer. No explanation on the Safeway ad. I don’t always get to town on Friday, so it made it good for me to shop at Safeway to get what I needed!! Sorry to see it go. I have also noticed, Safeway is doing away with a lot of the Safeway brands making you either go to another store to get that stores brand name product or buy the higher priced items. SAD! 🙁

      I was very sad to see it go as well. I also don’t make it into town on Fridays, so I totally miss out on the deals now. It was definitely sad that they didn’t give us any warning or any explanation, we all just planned on going on the weekends like we had been doing for the past year or so, and many readers ended up missing those deals not knowing it didn’t last the weekend like it had been. I totally know where you are coming from. 🙁

    I’m glad I stumbled on your post- I’ve been trying to figure out why I couldn’t add those items to my list for today. I’m lucky enough to live close to several grocery stores, but my Safeway on a Friday afternoon/evening is an absolute ZOO. People lose their minds over the $5 deals. I’m not sure I have the energy to deal with that crowd. I may just have to find new ways to save :(.

    Thanks for sharing that info with us!

      It’s really too bad they stopped this program, I really enjoyed it too. I can no longer shop the $5 Friday deals because I can’t make it into shop on Fridays. 🙁 I’m glad you found the post so you can at least know what is going on with it because they never said anything at all about it, they just ended it out of the blue.

    I don’t get to town on Fridays, too far. With gas prices we only come to town maybe once or twice a week, and not on a Friday. Usually on Sat. came in for the Friday specials and ALWAYS spent a lot more. Looks like I’m back at Walmart with their price match….:(
