Back-to-School shopping…for groceries! I think TECHNICALLY this is a Summer Olympics-themed promotion (and the last promotion was Super Bowl-themed), but grocery discounts are always welcome, regardless of the occasion!

The Summer Savings Marathon, a promotion of over 2,300 participating products “running” through 07/29/08 at all Safeway-owned stores, rewards shoppers with Catalinas (see below), in a single transaction of 9-25 participating products.
1.) Purchase 9-14 participating products to receive a $5 Catalina
2.) Purchase 15-24 participating products to receive a $10 Catalina
3.) Purchase 25 or more participating products to receive a $20 Catalina
(For those of you who are new to the Catalina term, a Catalina is an automatically-generated coupon that prints during a transaction of specific items. The name comes from the Catalina Marketing Corporation - the invisible force behind promotions between product manufacturers and retailers. The Catalinas in this promotion work much like a Safeway gift card - use the $5, $10, or $20 Catalinas to pay for additional items on your next purchase.)
