Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about nails—both polish and remover—and drinks. I had success at 2 drug stores and a hellish trip at Walgreens. Every time I consider giving Walgreens another try, I’m reminded why I quit them a while ago. I hope the merger with Rite Aid won’t ruin that, too.

CVS:

2 Revlon nail polishes, sale price $3.99. I used 2 $3.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.99 each! (Isn’t the Pink Glaze color so pretty? It’s on my toes now and I love it.)

Just The Basics bottled water, sale price $2.22. (Only a dime per bottle is a great price for water. I try to always have drinks in the car in case I get thirsty while out.)

Rite Aid:

6 Rite Aid nail polish remover pads, $0.49 plus Buy one, Get one 50% off. Total: $2.19 plus $4.00 Plenti Points! (Notice the upside down sign. Funny, huh? I prefer non acetone products, but I bought these anyway since it was a moneymaker.)

3 Wyler’s drink mixes, regular price $1.00. I used a $1.00/3 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.00 plus $2.00 Plenti Points.

Schick razors were included on my list, but the store was totally out of stock. I have lots of razors in my stock pile, so it’s not a big loss.

Walgreens:

As usual, shopping at Walgreens is a huge hassle and total waste of time. I saw a great deal about Gillette Venus products mentioned on numerous blogs. I wrote down the instructions step-by-step and followed them exactly, but it didn’t work. The paper coupons beeped; the digital coupons never came off. The cashier was nice but totally overwhelmed. She told me I could talk to the manager after he returned from lunch. Not worth it! I left empty handed.

Share/link your deals.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

I’ve taken the last 2 weeks off from posting because I haven’t bought anything. Every closet, shelf, and cabinet was completely overflowing and instead of adding to the chaos, I spent a good deal of time sorting. Most I kept, some was donated, and a very few items were tossed. Everything is in much better order now, thank goodness! (How long it actually stays that way, however, is anyone’s guess…) Taking an occasional break from couponing reminds just how much I truly do love it.

I only shopped one store on Friday afternoon, but I still came home with lots of cheap goodies. They had everything I wanted in stock, except for a moneymaker deal on Almay eyeshadow and mascara.

CVS:

3 Kleenex tissues, sale price $1.00. I stacked a $0.75/3 manufacturer’s coupon with a $1.00/3 store coupon. Total: $1.25, plus a $0.50 Checkout 51 rebate!

2 Starbucks iced coffee, regular price $1.99 plus BOGO. I used a $1.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.50 each!

2 Fig Newtons, sale price $0.99. I used a $0.75/2 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $0.62 each!

1 Viva paper towel, sale price $4.99. I stacked a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon with a $1.00 CVS App coupon. Total: $2.99.

Have you been couponing lately? Share your scores.

This week was all about one store—Rite Aid! It’s funny how deals come in waves at the drugstores; sometimes it’s tons, other times I leave with nothing. I was very excited to find a variety of good stuff.

I also enjoyed getting a free donut with my coffee on Friday which was National Donut Day. (Last year, it seemed like there were a lot more places participating, though?)

Rite Aid:

3 ProFoot shoe inserts, sale price $6.00. I used 3 $2.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $12.00, plus $6.00 Plenti Points! (Since I’ve been experiencing a lot of back pain lately and these were only $2.00 each after points, I jumped on this deal. I’ll have to see if there’s any improvement in time.)

1 Motrin PM caplets, sale price $3.99. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a $1.00 Rite Aid peelie coupon. Total: $1.99, plus a $1.00 Checkout 51 rebate.

2 L’Oreal Infallible lip gloss, clearance price $3.99. I used a $2.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.99! (The tags said $4.99 but they actually rang up $1.00 cheaper.)

2 Clear Care Rinse & Go solution, regular price $9.99. I used 2 $5.00 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with 2 Rite Aid in-ad coupons. Total: $3.98 plus $6.00 Plenti Points! (I love moneymaker deals!)

1 Nexium, sale price $9.99. I used a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a $4.00 Rite Aid coupon. Total: $2.99 plus $3.00 Plenti Points!

Shaws:

Completely wasted trip! I am still hunting down my rain check items (split chicken breast and ice cream bars), but nothing has been restocked. Not sure if it’s a delivery issue? I always stop by customer service to check and they have no answers. They did, however, offer to extend the dates so the rain checks won’t expire. I appreciate it, but the items in hand would be better. Oh, well!

What did you buy this week? Find any freebies?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

I found tons of cheap goodies this week like laundry detergent, snack food, socks, and baby supplies.
