Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was full of many good deals including an unexpected meat clearance. (I always check the mark-down bin whenever I shop. It’s hit or miss, but worth a look.) Target was a bonanza and the drugstore sales were so bad that I skipped them entirely.

Shaws:

No picture of these because I put everything in the oven before I remembered… After it was cooked, I shredded and bagged the meat. The steak will be turned into a salad, the drumsticks were for dinner, and the whole chicken will be for a soup and a stir-fry.

1 Perdue whole chicken, clearance price $0.49/lb. Total: $2.91!

1 Perdue drumsticks, clearance price $0.39/lb. Total: $1.69!

1 Sirloin steak, $5.89/lb sale price plus $3.00 store coupon. Total: $3.62!

Target:

2 Quaker Breakfast Flats, regular price $3.09. I used a $1.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a 40% off Cartwheel offer. Total: $2.71 plus $2.00 Checkout 51 rebate!

3 Venus Shave Gel, regular price $2.97. I used 3 $2.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $2.91 plus $5.00 Target Gift Card!

2 Bush’s Chili Beans, regular price $1.00. Total: $2.00 plus $2.00 Checkout 51 rebate!

How many coupons did you use?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

I went to a bunch of stores this week and found lots of freebies and cheapies. Normally, holidays weeks are too busy to shop, but I really needed to get out of the house and take some time alone to calm down. I did all of my couponing late at night when the stores were practically empty. Very relaxing and rejuvenating!

CVS:

Physician’s Formula stick concealer, regular price $7.49. I used a $4.00 store coupon plus $3.00 ECB’s. Total: $0.49 plus $6.00 ECB’s! (I’ve actually wanted to experiment with yellow shade for under-eye circles, so this deal was perfect.) 

Local produce store:

1 mango, sale price $0.39. I earned a $0.25 Checkout 51 rebate, making it only $0.14!

Walmart:

4 Kraft string cheese packs, regular price $1.00. I used 4 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free! (Will be used for lunches and snacks.)

Yankee Candle: Small candle jar, details here. Total: $0.99!

Target:

Enjoy Life Snickerdoodles, regular price $3.99. I stacked a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon with a 25% off Cartwheel offer. Total: $1.99 plus a $1.50 Checkout 51 rebate!

2 Similac Go & Grow Mix-Ins, regular price $9.99. I stacked 2 $3.00 manufacturer’s coupons with a 10% off Cartwheel offer. Total: $11.98 plus a $10.00 Target gift card! 

Have you used any coupons lately?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

It was a slow week. I didn’t mind one bit because I’m still recovering from the holiday and needed a break badly. On Friday, I enjoyed a free iced coffee, courtesy of Cumberland Farms (chain convenience store here in New England). This promo is good for the entire month of October. I also picked up these goodies:

Sally Beauty:

Free black headband with $5.00 mobile coupon. (Does anyone else think this store has the worst chemical smell?! Oh my, I had to leave here in a hurry.)

CVS:

Biotrue contacts solution, sale price $7.99. I stacked a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon with a $3.00 store coupon. Total: $1.99 plus $2.00 ECBs!

2 Bai drinks, sale price $2.00. Total: $4.00 plus $4.00 ECBs! (Only bought because they were free after rebate and wouldn’t buy again due to the odd taste.)

Other items on my list were Nexium antacid and Kit Kat bars. My CVS was out of both.

Shaw’s:

3 dozen organic, cage free egg dozens, marked down to $0.99 each because they were expiring in a day. I scrambled all of them at once. We ate half as a “Breakfast for Dinner” meal and I made the remainder into burritos for the freezer.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

It’s the first day of October and almost Rosh Hashanah (Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall…) This week I had a lot of holiday cleaning, cooking, and general prep that took up most of my time. I did manage to visit one grocery store and one drugstore for a few deals and necessities. I’m happy to report that because I planned ahead, the holiday stress should be kept to an absolute minimum. Now I can party like it’s 5777 (Yes, that line is so corny, but it’s also hilarious).

Shaw’s:

Split chicken breast, rain check price $0.99/lb. Total: $21.08! (This is my stock up price for bone-in chicken. It sure wasn’t fun hauling over 20 lbs home, portioning it out, pouring in marinades, and then stashing it in the freezer. What will be nice, however, is having tons of cheap protein on-hand.)

Gala apples, sale price $0.77/lb. Total: $11.55! (These were super cheap. The only catch was that they’re sold by the tote so a couple pieces were yucky. At this price, I don’t mind too much. I bought a bunch for snacks and baking. I’m trying a new cake recipe for Rosh Hashanah. If it’s any good, I’ll share.)

Everyday Essentials paper plates. Total: $1.00! (Found on the reduced rack because the package was ripped. Nothing wrong with the contents and 1/5 of the normal price.)

Rite Aid:

Everything was free after rebate. I was most excited about the foot inserts.

2 Oral-B toothbrushes, sale price $3.00. I used a $2.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Total: $4.00 plus $4.00 Plenti Points!

Tresemme Anti-Breakage shampoo and Anti-Breakage Tresemme conditioner, sale price $4.00. I used a $5.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $3.00 plus $3.00 Plenti Points!

Amope Gel Activ Insoles, sale price $9.99. Total: Free after mail-in rebate for $9.99!

Suave Professionals Gold Shampoo and Suave Professionals Gold Conditioner, sale price $3.00. I used a $3.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $3.00 plus $4.00 Plenti Points!
