Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

Since I was on vacation last week, I had a lot of laundry and housework that required my attention. That didn’t leave much time for shopping, but I did manage to make it into two stores for a few freebies and cheapies.

Market Basket:

This was a normal grocery run for almond milk, produce, and some bread. The only really good deal was on split chicken breasts at $1.29/lb. I lost my receipt, so I can’t do a complete price break down (Yes, it was one of those days!), but the total was right around $40.00.

Rite Aid:

When a new product is launched, I love it, because it means high value coupons will be available. Scoring 4 boxes of FREE Playtex was awesome.

4 Playtex Sport Compact tampons, sale price $3.50. I used 4 $2.50 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $4.00 plus $4.00 Plenti Points! (Playtex is my sister’s fav brand, so I am sending them to her.)

4 V8+Energy Mango drinks, regular price $1.19. I used 4 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.19 each! (I think V8 is repulsive in the extreme, but my man loves them.)

2 Milka Oreo candy bars, regular price $1.15. I used 2 $0.55 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.20 plus $1.00 Plenti Points! (The deal was Buy 2, Get 1 Free. My store only had 2 left total. Even so, it’s a good price without the 3rd bar.)

2 Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin laundry soaps, sale price $1.99. I used 2 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.99 each!

Have you found any good deals lately?

There is no Super Savings Saturday today because yours truly is on vacation. (I can’t even begin to say how fun, exciting, and exhausting it is to travel some place far away! Other than a crazy-long flight delay, it’s been all smooth sailing with tons of sightseeing and feasting.)

Rest assured, SSS will be back again next week with new adventures in deal hunting. In the mean time, readers are always welcome to link/comment about their own freebies and cheapies.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

This week was full of awesome deals on food, toys, and cosmetics. For once, I wasn’t short on time and browsed at my leisure. Here’s my haul from three stores:

Shaw’s:

I have been getting lots of free items by playing the Monopoly game promotion that the store is running. Most of the time, it’s bonus tickets, but also some actual food—free sour cream, free bagel, free canister of salt, and a free donut.

Lucerne cheddar cheese, sale price $0.99 with MyMixx coupon.

Signature Farm baby carrots, sale price $0.99 with MyMixx coupon. 

Refresh soda, sale price $0.49 with MyMixx coupon. 

Signature Cafe hummus, sale price $0.99 with MyMixx coupon.

Snack Artist BBQ chips, sale price $0.99 with MyMixx coupon. 

Walgreens:

After reading about a huge unadvertised toy clearance, I popped over to my local store to check it out. To my surprise, there was tons of stock and everything rang up for less than $1.00!

6 Disney Palace Pets, clearance price $0.69 each! (90% off original price and going right into the stockpile for future gifts.)

2 Ballerina Barbie, clearance price $0.69 each! (Also 90% off.)

I have no idea why these were discounted so much, probably just a fluke, but I’m certainly not complaining.

Target:

I spent about an hour in the clothing department, in search of some warm weather items. I didn’t end up buying anything because nothing really struck my fancy, but it was still fun just trying things on. I was especially curious to see the Victoria Beckham collection. There was very little on the shelf and what was there was picked over and limited in size/style. I’m waiting til it’s restocked before I offer an opinion.
