Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday! This week was all about the diapers—some of which I got totally free! (By combining sale prices with coupons, I can buy many items for pennies.) I also found great deals on meat and free pens.

On Wednesday night, Hungry Bear and I went to Uno Pizzeria for the Insider’s Party. (Sign up here to join the club.) We got to try samples of 4 menu items and take home goodie boxes that had coupons and giant chocolate chip cookies! I also had a Buy One, Get One free coupon, so we only had to pay for a single entrée, saving us $20.00 on the bill! (Steak for me, pizza for him.) It was such fun! We don’t go out to eat much, so it was a real treat at an affordable price.

Now, on to the savings!

Rite Aid: 

I did two transactions so I could roll UP Rewards and lower my cost.

Transaction #1:  3 Huggies diapers, on sale $9.49 each. I used 3 $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupons  stacked with a $1.00 Huggies Video Value coupon. I also had an $8.00 UP Reward. Total: $10.47, with an $8.00 Up Reward!

Transaction # 2:  2 Huggies diapers, on sale $9.49 each. I used 2 $3.00 Manufacturer’s coupons and my $8.00 UP Reward. Total: 4.98, plus another $8.00 UP Reward and a $10.00 Huggie coupon!

Staples:

2 Bic pens, on sale $1.00 each. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free!   (These are usually $4.79, so it was a big saving.)

Shaws:

Split chicken breast, manager’s special price $0.99/lb. Total: $3.69!  (I could only find a single pack, otherwise I would’ve bought a ton at this price.)

Chuck steak, $6.11, with a $3.00 markdown coupon. Total: $3.11!

Round steak, $5.89, with a $2.00 markdown coupon. Total: $3.89!

Walgreens:

3 packs of gum, clearance price $0.11. Total: $0.33!  (Filler item.)

3 Well Beginnings diapers, on sale $5.50. I used 3 $1.50 Manufacturer’s coupons and 3 $4.00 Register Rewards. Total: Free!  (If you missed the sale, print the coupons for another. They don’t expire until December.)

Since diapers are one of the biggest budget busters, I was so glad to get these amazing deals. The steak and chicken were turned into yummy dinners. I added the pens to about 20 other packages I got for free last year! Ah, the exciting world of a couponer…

Did you get anything free this week?

It’s time for another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

What a crazy week this has been. Between not feeling well, having my PayPal account hacked, and Pumpkin going missing for two days, I was not a happy camper! (Truth be told, I’ve been in a near-constant wretched mood and couponing was the only high point.)

I did find tons of great deals and freebies—especially at Target,  where I walked out with six items for nothing!

Shaws:

4 Barilla pasta, on sale $0.88. I used 2 $1.00/2 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.38 each!

Wild Harvest Organic milk, marked down to $1.00!   (These are usually $5.99 a gallon, so this is an incredible price! Always check the markdown sections at your store.)

Apple Jacks & Frosted Flakes, on sale $1.66 each. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled.) Total: $0.66 each!   (Hungry Bear loves this junk.)
