Safeway's Free Food for 12 Days til Christmas

You wouldn't know unless you stopped by a Safeway to check out their in-store circular but it turns out that for the 12 days leading to Christmas Safeway will be giving out free groceries. You need to spend a minimum of $20 in order to qualify for the free product of the day. Today I received free eggs, which I was quite pleased about seeing they were on my shopping list anyway.

Here is the full list of free items.
