Safeway Store Policy

Manufacturer and Store Coupons:
We will redeem coupons only for the specific items included in our customer’s purchase transaction. The redemption value will be as stated on the coupon, unless that value yields a final price for such item less than zero; if application of the redemption value yields a price less than zero, the coupon will be redeemed only for the amount that yields a zero price (our customer cannot net a cash credit or payout from a coupon purchase).
Paper coupons must be presented at the time of the purchase transaction. We will accept only coupons issued by Safeway Operations or the manufacturer of the relevant product. We will not accept photocopies of coupons.
Coupons are subject to advertised offer limitations and all other limitations and restrictions on the applicable coupon or product.
Coupons may not be applied against any free item received in any offer.
Coupons have no cash value.
Cash discount coupons applied to the total purchase cannot be combined with any other discount offer, including Customer Appreciation Day & Seniors Day.
Safeway will not accept manufacturer coupons (including, but not limited to, coupons issued through an in-store coupon dispenser) that display another retailer’s logo or name.
