Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday! Are you having a happy Valentine’s Day? I sure hope so! Around here, it’s been low key. We’re staying in and hanging out watching TV. I made heart-shaped sugar cookies to celebrate, but otherwise, no festivities.

This week was filled with more snow and shopping (this seems to be a pattern lately). I made a bunch of stops and came out of each store with very few items, but overall there were plenty of freebies and cheapies to be had.

CVS:

I’d read a tip on numerous coupon forums that the in-store machine was offering free M&M’s. I scanned my card, but received nothing.

Walgreens:

Soothe eye drops, regular price $11.99.

Mountain Dew Kickstart, sale price $1.00 plus a $1.00 Register Reward.

$0.09 clearance gelt (filler item)

I used a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon and a $10.00 Register reward. Total: $0.09!  (The eye drops weren’t part of any deal, but I really needed them.)

Shaw’s:

Gallon of organic fat free milk, marked down to $1.50.  (The regular price is $5.99!)

Wal-Mart:

Sara Lee deli meat, details here. Total: $0.99!

Market Basket:

I found all kinds of marked down produce like berries, squash, and peppers. also, oat bread was on sale for $0.99. I misplaced my receipt, but the total was around $5.00 for everything.

The funniest part was seeing the “regular” price on the reduced strawberries. $15.84/LB? Who in their right mind would pay more for berries than the best cut of steak? Just crazy!

Did you find any freebies?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

Here in New England, the snow, ice, and artic chill is dragging on, but this couponer isn’t deterred. By shopping the sales, using coupons, and always keeping an eye out for unexpected markdowns, I found lots of goodies. My favorite deals of the week were $0.49 turkey and a $0.99 bath towel.

CVS:

Colgate Optic White toothpaste, on sale $3.00. I used a $2.50 CVS coupon from the in-store machine stacked with a $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!  (If you’re looking for a whitening paste that actually works, try this. I love it.)

Rite Aid:

2 GE light bulbs, on sale $3.99 each. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $5.98, plus $6.00 in UP Rewards.

Target:

Circo 4-piece nursery set, clearance price $11.98.  (What a deal! The normal price is $70.00. I’m not really sure why it was so cheap. Regardless, it’s super cute.)

2 Jennie-O Ground turkey, regular price $2.99. There were $2.00 markdown stickers on each, and I used a $1.00/2 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.49 for each 1-Lb package!

Maybelline mascara, details here. Total: $0.99 each!

J.C. Penney:

Penny’s isn’t on my shopping list, unless it’s an amazing deal. I heard about a $10.00 mobile coupon offer at Free Stuff Times and jumped on it. (The offer ended almost as abruptly as it began, but I was just quick enough!)

After browsing the store for an hour, I selected a Royal Velvet bath towel, regular price $10.99. After the mobile coupon, I paid only $0.99 out of pocket. The towel is soft and seems to be good quality. Quite a steal.

Shaw’s:

The plan was to stock up on 3-day sale items, but everything I wanted was gone. I ended up leaving with rain checks and a gallon of discounted milk. Total: $1.00.
