Super Savings Saturday – 8/16

a5

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday! This week, I found tons of great deals—especially at Rite Aid! I’m still missing Market Basket, but the couponing must go on…

Shaw’s:

I was really looking forward to the Mega Sale (Buy 10, save $5.00), which allowed me to cheaply replenish my stock of tuna fish and popcorn.

8 Bumble Bee tuna, Mega Sale price $0.69. Total: $5.52.

2 Jolly Time popcorn, Mega Sale price $0.89. I used 2 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: Free!

Watermelon, on sale for $3.88.

2 Essential Everyday cheese slices, on sale $1.88. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.76!

Rite Aid:

2 La Bella gels, on sale $2.99. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $3.98, plus $4.00 Up Rewards.

2 Revlon eye shadows, on sale Buy 1, get 1 50% off which made them $3.20 and $1.64. I used a $3.00 Video Value coupon stacked with 2 $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free!

Mucinex, on sale $7.50. I used a $3.00 Video Value coupon stacked with a $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.50, plus a $5.50 Up reward.

Final total: In addition to coupons, I used 2 Up rewards from previous transactions. I paid $0.41 out of pocket and got $9.50 in Up Rewards!

 

It’s so nice to have tons of free eye shadow, medicine, and cheap food. I will be donating the gel (plus 2 more I found in the closet from an identical deal last year).

 

Did you get anything good this week?

Jackie’s Price Matching At Walmart

a3

In select test markets in Florida, Walmart is agreeing to honor competitor’s BOGO ads. Since my sister, Jackie, lives in Florida, she was kind enough to do a test-run and report back. Her results were amazing! I hope this will go national, so I can join in the fun!

Walmart Price Matching Adventure

Did you know that Walmart in Florida will match Winn Dixie and Publix BOGO deals?! This is a major game-changer for those of us in Florida!

I needed some dry goods and a few basic items, so I sat down with my Winn Dixie Weekly ad and got ready for a late night Walmart run. These deals are valid thru 8/19.

After I had my list, I matched newspaper coupons and printable coupons for the sale items.

I am on an extremely tight budget, so having this much food in the pantry and fridge really feels great!! For $50.07 total, check out what I was able to buy:

a4

40 cans of Sheba cat food for $10. What a score! (Buy 10, Get 10 free Pâté cans Manufacturer’s coupons.) A quarter a can makes me and my kitty very happy!

a4
Oops, 8-roll pack of Decorator brand paper towels instead of the Sparkle coupon deal I wanted. I paid $4.97 for 8 rolls of crappy paper towels, but whatever. I’m not an extreme couponer like The Jewish Lady, so mess ups are expected.

a4
2 pouches of Starkist tuna. The shelf price for these was $1.22, but they rang up at $1. I used 2 $0.75 Starkist pouch Manufacturer’s coupons and paid $.50 total for both!

a4

8 Müeller yogurt cups. I had planned on getting a larger size, but my Walmart only had the little ones for $0.78. This was actually a better deal since I had 2 $1.00/4 Manufacturer’s coupons. I paid $4.24 total for 8 fancy Greek yogurts with mousse fruit topping.

a4

I picked up a pack of 10 Bic razors because I had a $3.00 coupon. I was hoping to get something better quality, but for $.18 total, I won’t be a snob about them only having 2 blades. Score!

a4

1 Silk almond milk, half gallon. I used a $1.00 Manufacturer’s Coupon and paid $1.98 total.

a4

2 Yo Crunch cereal bowls. Honestly, I don’t know if these are cereal or yogurt or a combo of the two. They’re probably really good, so I grabbed 2. The shelf price was $1.25/each. I used 2 $0.75 Manufacturer’s Coupons and paid $1 total for both.

a4

I had a few other things on my list that I needed for the week, so I also picked up a few items not on sale and without coupons:
*   2 bananas –  $0.54
*   1 Libby’s sweet corn – $0.77
*   2 Libby’s green beans – $0.77/each
*   2 Progress Soups – $1.88/each
*   1 box of Lipton extra soup – $1.28
*   1 Jar of Vlasic kosher dill pickles – $1.97
*   a big container of blueberries – $2.48
*   dozen eggs – $1.98
*   3lb bag of potatoes – $3.37
*  1lb bag of Bolthouse Farms carrots – $0.88
a4

Winn Dixie BOGO price match:
1 Welch’s grape jam or jelly or strawberry spread, 22 oz. squeeze. I used a $1.00/2 Manufacturer’s Coupon and paid $.98 total for both!

a4

2 Nature’s Own butter bread, 20 oz. I paid $2.28 total for 2 loaves.

a4
Kraft macaroni & cheese dinner, 7.25 oz. (I know this isn’t healthy, but I couldn’t resist a BOGO on this.) I paid $1.28 total for 2 boxes.

a4

Edy’s ice cream, 48 oz (I did a quick Google in store to verify that equals 1.5qts) I paid $3.24 total for a big tub of mint chocolate chip & a butter pecan- YUM!)

Tomorrow, I will be doing a price match on Publix BOGO deals, as well as purchasing my produce for the next two weeks.

I planned. I shopped. I got every item on my list!

Jackie, I am very impressed with your shopping skills! Welcome to the coupon world; you’re gonna love it here…

Target: Free Cover Girl Makeup

Combine 2 coupons and a clearance sale for free Cover Girl makeup at Target!

Buy 2 Cover Girl eye shadow singles, clearance price $1.57. Use a $3.00/2 Cover Girl Manufacturer’s coupon, stacked with a $1.00/2 Target Cover Girl coupon. (These coupons are in the 7/27 P&G insert.)

I found these eye shadows on end caps and in the makeup aisle, so check both. Some of these were labeled $2.18 but all rang up $1.57. Look for shades “Bedazzled Biscotti” and “Pink Chiffon.”

If you don’t need eye shadow, there were also clearance lipsticks and foundation, at a slightly higher price.
