This week’s haul was a bunch of random stuff. I shopped all 3 drugstores, but never made it to a grocery store. (The fridge/freezer and cabinets were packed, so it didn’t matter too much.) Next week, I’m planning to shop a lot more. Aldi is finally opening on 5/15. I definitely want to check that out, along with restocking my kitchen.

One of the best things about couponing is getting to try new products like the Coconut Colgate. I may not always like them, but the price is right. (I wouldn’t buy it again.)

Read on to see all my goodies:

Rite Aid:

3 Oreo candy bars, sale price $0.55. I used 3 $0.55 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free.

Lady Speed Stick deodorant, sale price $2.99. I stacked a $2.00 store coupon with a $0.50 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.49.

2 No Nonsense trouser socks, regular price $3.29 plus Buy One, Get One Free. I used a $2.00 store coupon. Total: $0.65 each.

CVS:

Colgate Essentials toothpaste, sale price $4.99. I used a $2.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.99 plus $2.00 ECB and $1.00 Ibotta rebate. (Be warned that the coconut taste is very strong.)

Walgreens:

5 Arm & Hammer Sensitive Skin laundry detergents, sale price $1.99. I used 5 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $4.95.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

Because of Passover, I missed out on some food deals and clearance candy leftover from Easter. Finding lots of free beauty and hygiene products, however, more than made up for it. 

Rite Aid:

2 Japonesque emery boards, sale price $1.49. Total: $2.98 plus $3.00 Bonus Cash.

6 Elf makeup brushes, regular price $1.00. Total: $6.00 plus $6.00 Bonus Cash. 

I had $10.00 in Bonus Cash, so it cost me nothing out of pocket.

Walgreens:

2 Oral-B toothbrushes, sale price $2.99. Total: $5.98. I used a $6.00/2 digital coupon. (I wasn’t sure if it would work since digital coupons can be touchy. I’m happy to report there was no issue.)

Biotrue eye drops, sale price $12.99. I combined a $3.00 store coupon with a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $6.99. (Great deal for the single vial variety, which tends to be wildly overpriced.)

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday. This week was all about the yard, mainly prepping for the food garden and the flower garden. (I’m trying to narrow down my seed selection, which is always the hardest part.) Home Depot’s annual Spring Black Friday was in full swing, so I had to browse. Overall, it was nothing special. I did find a few goodies, however.

Home Depot:

A Gorilla ladder that was on sale for $99 looked tempting in the ad. Of course, the store was completely sold out since it was originally $219 when I checked in person yesterday. The same thing happened in 2018 when I waited too long. Maybe I’ll actually buy one in 2020!

5 Miracle-Gro soil bags, sale price $2.00. Total: $10.00.

2 mulch bags, sale price $2.00. Total: $4.00.

The above items are used for flowers and plants. I prefer to use organic and non-GMO for fruits and veggies.

Shaws:

2 dozen eggs, sale price $0.99. Total: $1.98.

4 cantaloupe, sale price $1.50. Total: $6.00.

Sparkle paper towels, sale price $3.99. I used a $0.75 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.49.

Bone-in whole turkey breast, sale price $0.99/lb. Total: $5.83.

Rite Aid:

4 True Lime drink mixes, clearance price $0.25. Total: $1.00. (I found one on the shelf and three more hidden on an end cap. Sometimes you just have to dig.)

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

This week was so busy, it kept me mostly offline. I did a little social media, but no blogging, which freed up plenty of time to bake/cook for Purim, make costumes, create gift baskets and experience plenty of holiday cheer with friends and family.

I truly love blogging, but I also enjoy my “real” life and I need a balance between the two. Luckily, I can just pick up where I left off and go from there. (It only took me five years of blogging to figure that out and stop stressing!)

I did all of my shopping during 2 hours on Monday morning and found a bunch of goodies. 

Walmart:

Colgate mouthwash, regular price $3.96. I used a $2.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.96 plus $2.00 Ibotta rebate. 

Calphalon 14-piece set, clearance price $40.00. (Originally priced at $159.00, this was a huge savings. I have been looking to replace some of my nonstick cookware with stainless steel, because it’s supposed to be safer. I’m planning to keep these in the box until Passover, use them for the holiday, and then transition it for everyday use.)

Walgreens:

OxiClean laundry detergent, sale price $2.99. I used a $2.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.99. (The store had a strict limit, even though none was advertised. Walgreens can be a frustrating place to coupon. Rules vary from store-to-store and it really depends on the individual store mangers. Some are flexible; others are ogres! If you have a choice, try every one in your area and see which is the best.)

Mentos mints, sale price $1.29 plus $1.29 Register Rewards.

CVS:

Extra gum, sale price $0.99. Total: $0.99 plus $0.99 ECB.

2 Kleenex bundle packs, sale price $4.49 each. I used 2 $0.50 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with a $1.00 store coupon. Total: $6.98 plus $5.00 ECB and $1.50 Ibotta rebate. (Almost free tissues is a deal I love!)
