This week’s edition of Super Savings Saturday was delayed because yours truly got food poisoning on Passover! Needless to say, it’s been a difficult few days around here. The culprit turned out to be hard boiled eggs. I’m always careful about food safety/handling, so it’s a mystery how it happened. Regardless, I’m just very glad it’s over now. I think it will be a looooooooong time before I can even look at an egg, let alone eat one.

Most of my deals were found at Target. It tends to be hit or miss, but sometimes I stumble on a bunch at once. I also found some nice mark downs at Hannaford. All 3 drugstores were a complete wash. By consistently couponing every single week, I’m able to stock up for very little and it’s ok if one week is off.

Target:

4 Up & Up sponges, regular price $1.04. I used a $3.00/4 Target Cleaning Supplies coupon. Total: $0.29 each!

2 Gold ‘N Plump chickens, sale price $4.50 with $2.00 markdown coupons. Total: $2.50 each!  (My first time buying this brand and it was great. Very mild, tasty meat. I’d definitely buy them in the future.)

3 M&M candy eggs, on sale $1.00. I used a $2.00/3 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.33 each!

2 Starburst Juicy Fruit gum, regular price $1.00. I used 2 $1.00 Target coupons. Total: Free!

2 Magnesium citrate oral solution, regular price $0.99 each. I used 2 $1.00 Target Digestive Aid coupons. Total: Free!

Hannaford:

2 packages of ground beef, marked down to $2.49/Lb, plus $0.50 and $0.75 store coupons. Total: $3.89!  (I love it when I stumble upon deals like this. There were 6 additional packages and I would’ve bought them all, but another lady needed them more.)

2 heads of cauliflower, marked down to $1.25 each. Total: $2.50!

Did you find any good deals?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week’s shopping was a little out of my norm—I only shopped at two stores and skipped the drugstores completely. I didn’t have the time or ambition to hit my regular route, due to dealing with chronic health problems, insomnia, and a mid-week MRI on my brain. (For those who’ve never had an MRI, all I can say is “Yikes!” It was such a horrible, scary experience for me! Luckily, the test didn’t find anything, but the doctors still don’t know what’s wrong with me.)

In addition to that craziness, I signed up for a 3-part series on organic gardening at my local library. I’ve attended one class so far, and it was super! (After the series is finished, I hope to blog more about it.) The teacher has been farming for over 50 years and I’m learning quite a bit from him and the other attendees. Best of all, it’s completely free.

Even though my shopping was condensed, I still found many good deals, especially on frozen fish and veggies. (Contrary to popular belief, I do actually buy food, not just treats and health/beauty freebies. Hopefully, this will show how I stock up and at what price.)

Shaws:

10 Bird’s Eye steamed veggies, on sale $1.99 plus BOGO. I used 5 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.50 each!

4 bags of tilapia, on sale $3.99. Total: $15.96!  (These are usually $9.99 each, so it was huge savings. I love having frozen fish on hand for busy nights.)

2 Cheeze-It crackers, on sale $2.50. I used 2 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $1.00 each!

Wal-Mart:

2 Playtex bottles, details here. Total: $0.47 each!

Candy Land game, on sale $4.77. I used a $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.77!

Chutes and Ladders game, on sale $4.77. I used a $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.77!

2 Blue Bunny Star Bars, clearance price $2.00.  I used 2 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.25 each!

Dial Miracle Oil body wash, regular price $3.97. I used a free product coupon. Total: Free!

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

I started the week off on a high note, with a free cone at Dairy Queen. The lines were long and the cones were small, but free is free, right? I love soft swirl!

There were many good freebies and cheapies to be found at the drugstores and a grocery store. My only strikeout was Target. I was in search of 5 different cartwheel deals and every single item was gone! I hate it when that happens, but such is life. Couponing is a marathon, not a sprint, and some deals just don’t work out.

Shaw’s:

2 Skippy peanut butter, on sale $1.99. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.99 each!

4 Barilla entrées, on sale $2.50. I used 4 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $1.00 each!   (These make my stomach turn, but my guy loves them—go figure.)

CVS:

I stopped in on Thursday, looking for a one-day offer for free cotton balls. Even though it was only 10:00AM, the store was completely cleared out. That was disappointing, but the others deals made up for it.

2 Crest Pro-Health toothpastes, on sale $3.00. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $4.00, plus $4.00 ECB!

4 Starburst jelly beans, on sale $0.99, plus BOGO. I used a $2.00/3 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!

Rite Aid:

Always liners, details here. Total: Free!

Ensure Active shakes, clearance price $4.15. I used a $2.00 Video Values coupon stacked with a $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!
