Super Savings Saturday – 1/31

a4

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

This week can be summed up in a single word—SNOW! Monday night and all-day Tuesday was a Blizzard. On Wednesday, I was cleaning up and yesterday it was more snow. Plus, another storm is predicted next week. All I can say is yikes! I’m experiencing total winter fatigue.

On the shopping front, I went to only 3 stores, but still managed to find lots of goodies. I really do love the coupon lifestyle.

Target:

4 Loreal Advanced hair care stylers (shine spray, volume filler, and color therapy), 3 on clearance for $2.98, shine spray $1.99. I used 4 $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupons stacked with $1.00/2 Target coupons. Total: $0.93, plus a $5.00 Target gift card!  (Don’t you love being paid to buy awesome stuff!)

Avent bottles, 3-pack, clearance price $7.48. (Huge discount off the regular price. I’m putting together a baby shower basket and these work perfectly.)

Walgreens:

I did 5 transactions for maximum savings.

3 Velveeta Cheesy Melts, on sale $2.00. I bought each one separately. Total: $6.00, plus 3 $2.00 Register Rewards. I paid with points and it cost zero out of pocket.

KY Ultragel, on sale $6.00 and 2 Hanukkah gelt, clearance $0.07 each. Total: $6.14, I used the $6.00 Register Rewards and paid $0.14, plus a $6.00 Register Reward.

General Health Chews, on sale $10.00. Total: $10.00, I rolled the $6.00 Register reward and paid $4.00 cash, plus I received a $10.00 Reward back.

Shaw’s:

There was a great promo deal on snacks and soda: Buy 1 Orville Redenbacher popcorn and get another box and 2 bottles of soda for free. Total for all 4 items: $2.99!

4 salsas, on sale $2.49 plus BOGO. I used 2 $0.75/2 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.49 each!

      I’ve been doing it since 2008, and it was very frustrating until I got the hang of it. It takes time and effort, but I feel the rewards are so worth it. I post my best deals of the week every Saturday. How old is your daughter?

    My husband calls me the coupon Queen. I’m always looking for coupons and I have my own little red pouch to put them in. One day he used a coupon and even got two for the price of one and came home and told me and he was like a little boy in “Look what I did Mommy. Aren’t you proud of me?”. I think he was more proud of himself! LOL Thanks for the wonderful tips.

    I find your work fascinating. When you do multiple check outs – do you just have them ring up one grouping and then ring another or do you get out of line and start all over? I know this is a silly question, but I haven’t seen this happen so I have no idea. You asked last week where I shop, and due to location and convenience it is either second hand,discount groceries or online for the majority – hence lack of coupon using. I look forward to continue learning from you though – for when I do hit a Target or a CVS.

      Not a silly question at all–a very important one actually. When I do multiple transactions, it depends how busy the store is. If there are many other people, I’ll do a transaction and then let others check out and go back. If the store is empty, I do them all at once. Some stores like Walgreens have multiple cash registers set up which makes it easier.

      There are ways to save at the stores you like. Secondhand stores have sales. I know Goodwill has different colors on sale weekly. If you like kid’s clothes, I’ve found great stuff at Children’s Orchard. They have a frequent shopping club. Online, I always look for coupon codes at Retailmenot.com and similar websites.

      Good luck with saving and please let me know if I can help further!
