Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!
I got through the Coupon Olympics and ended up with bags and bags of goodies that made all the planning, shopping, multiple transactions, aching feet/back, and chaos worth it!
I shopped at CVS twice, on Sunday and Thanksgiving; Rite Aid was Thanksgiving only. Normally, I also do Walgreens, but they weren’t participating so it was lighter than usual. Since the early bird catches the worm, I left home at 6:30 am, stopped at Starbucks for a treat and was waiting outside when the drug store opened.

(My store had no Trolli candy or Cover Girl Smoochies, so those were a raincheck. The No-Grey hair color wasn’t even an item they carry normally, so no raincheck/substitution.)
I did multiple transactions, starting with the cheapest item and rolled. Out of pocket, I spent les than $2.00 on everything!
Rite Aid 11/26-28 ad
Plenti Points can’t be rolled, so my total at Rite Aid was very high. To offset that, I used some gift cards that I’ve been saving for the occasion.
I did many small transaction to make sure deals were tracking, and lots didn’t! Some never earned points, some limits were posted incorrectly, etc. It took over 3 hours to straighten everything out.

(I didn’t want the Zim’s cream, Phillip’s earbuds or Conair elastics because I already have them in the stockpile. Nivea tins were gone. Other than the cold medicine, every item had 100% rebate.)
Wow, just writing it outs makes me tired; it always amazes me that I do this annually, but in the end, I’m glad I did it!
