Super Savings Saturday – 9/19/15

0915151446b

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about the eggs. Ever since the shortage happened and egg prices have doubled—and tripled in some cases!—I have been able to find them reduced for quick sale because they “expired” the next day (eggs are good much longer than that date, so don’t be afraid to stock up).

Because bread was also on sale, we ended up having egg salad sandwiches for lunch 3 days in a row. I had to readjust the menu plan, but it’s worth it when good deals pop up unexpectedly.

Shaws:

4 dozen cage free organic eggs, reduced price $0.99. Total: $3.96! (Since one dozen is normally $3.99, I was really excited to buy 4 for less than that. Taste/texture wise, these eggs were excellent.)

2 Arnold Oatnut breads, BOGO price $4.49. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.75 each!

Broccoli, on sale $0.99/lb. Total: $1.93.

Everyday Essential old fashioned oats, clearance price $1.50. (It’s hard to tell from the picture, but this was discounted because the canister is crushed. Nothing wrong with the contents and it doesn’t expire until 2017.)

Hannaford:

2 Lindsey Natural olives, regular price $4.19. I used 2 free product coupons. Total: Free!  (I’m the only one that will eat Kalamata olives around here, so I’m planning on making a lot of yummy Greek salads.

Rite Aid:

GE light bulb twin pack, on sale $7.99. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon and 699 Plenti Points. Total: Free, plus 799 Plenti Points. (I love getting moneymakers on necessary household items that I’d have to buy anyway.)

Target:

I intended to buy kids clothes and shoes, using a 30% cartwheel offer. After spending 40 minutes browsing, I just couldn’t find anything worth buying since it excluded clearance. While I HATE leaving a store empty-handed, it’s much more important to only make sound purchases and not waste money.

    That was an awesome deal on the eggs… and organic no less! Way to go 🙂

    And kudos on leaving Target without buying anything despite a 30% Cartwheel. You are so right that spending money just to use a discount isn’t being frugal at all!

    My favorite deal this week was bone-in chicken breasts for $0.97/lb at Save A Lot yesterday. I bought a little more than 17 lbs (and also almost 10 lbs of pork loin @ $1.69/lb) and some shrimp and I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to be able to freeze the pork loin because my meat freezer is full to the brim!
