Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!
It was a great week of shopping, and I’m really glad I went early because today is a snowstorm here in New England. (Is anyone else as sick of the unrelenting cold/stormy weather? Yuck!)
The drug stores deals have been quite slim, but I didn’t let that deter me. By cherry-picking the best sales and using coupons whenever possible, I was able to score free food, pens, medicine, and much more. Plus, my favorite deal of all—cheap pajamas!
Shaw’s:
2 Cinnamon Toast cereals, on sale $1.88. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.88 each! (Hungry Bear’s obsession. I keep encouraging him to eat healthy cereal, but he’s not convinced.)
Wal-Mart:
2 Finish dish tabs, sale price $2.96. I used 2 $2.15 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.81 each!
Orange, details here. Total: Free!
Rite Aid:
Max Freeze, rain check price $5.00 with a $5.00 Up Reward. Total: Free!
Bic pens, rain check price $1.00. I used a $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!
Target:
I was so excited to find this deal. Normally, they cost $24.99 a pair. I was able to buy 4 pairs of pajamas for the price of one! If you haven’t tried Gilligan & O’Malley brand, it’s super. The 4th pair is a pink plaid and not pictured, because it’s in the wash.
4 Pajama sets, on sale $7.48 plus 20% off coupon. Total: $5.98 each!
Panera:
After all that shopping, I sure had worked up an appetite. I headed over to Panera and picked up free hazelnut coffee, a free cinnamon roll, and a Broth Bowl. (You can sign up for the same rewards by registering at Panera and watching videos.)
The Broth Bowl was a chicken & soba noodle combo. I doubt I’d pay full price, but it was a decent lunch for under $5.00, and it’s always fun to find treats!

Those PJ’s are to die for! Lucky girl.
I am enjoying them so much.
Thank you for your detailed posts on savings/coupon use. I rarely can use coupons because of where I shop, so even if I can – I am always wondering if I could have used them better. Your blog is a really good at teaching me I can. Thanks to you, I was able to think better and maximize my loot with their deals from Sheetz. (I found your site through The Prudent Homemaker)
Hi Jenifer, thanks so much for your kind words. I’ve met so many wonderful ladies thru The Prudent Homemaker. Even if you only use a single coupon per trip, you’re still saving. Some is always better than none. Which stores do you regularly shop at? If I’m familiar with them, I’ll let you know any tips I have. 🙂
Hi, I found your site from Brandy’s over at the prudent homemaker, someone else commented on joining Panera bread from something you posted and I came over to find out:D Thank you for all that you share!
I am so glad you were able to enjoy the Panera promo. I love to share deals that I enjoy with others! So nice to meet you and all the other ladies thru The Prudent Homemaker!
