Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about school supplies. There some amazing deals I went looking for at CVS and Walgreens, but most was sold out. I was planning to shop for a 3rd time today, but it was 89 degrees with a crazy thunder/lighting storm, so I passed. Due to the storm, I’m also not able to upload photos. I keep losing the connection, so I’m posting now and will try to add photos in later. Use your imagination until then!

CVS:

I made two trips on Sunday and Thursday. My store was out of the free Papermate pens, but I did find pencils.

3 pack of Papermate mechanical pencils, 5-ct, on sale $0.59 each. I used 3 $0.55 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.04 each!

Butterfinger, on sale $0.99. I used a $0.75 in-store coupon. Total: $0.24!

Caliber pencil sharpener, regular price $1.99.  I used a $1.50 in-store coupon. Total: $0.49!

Diet Coke 2-Liter, on sale $0.99.  I used a $0.25 in-store coupon. Total: $0.74!

Shaws:

I found some unexpected goodies hiding on the reduced rack.

Baby Basic diapers, 36-ct, marked down to $2.99! (Never tried the brand before, but it’s worth the risk, since diapers are usually $8.99.)

2 boxes Equaline heart burn relief, 30-ct, marked down to $1.99. (Must have medicine for Hungry Bear. His acid reflux is so bad, he once woke up with acid in his nose! So, I was glad to find a super cheap generic version of Zantac.)

2 Everyday Essential butters, on sale $1.99. (Not an incredible price, but butter is always expensive, anyway. I needed it to make sugar cookies.)

Target:

I brought my CVS & Walgreens ads in to price match. Big surprise, there was nothing available. Talk about a wasted trip. I left the store empty handed.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

Due to a lack of deals and going on vacation this week, I didn’t do much shopping. In fact, I only did one coupon deal which is rare for me. I skipped the drugstores entirely and focused on getting some real food and giving myself grace to skip the rest. Hopefully, this list won’t disappoint anyone, but I want to keep it honest.

Local Produce Store:

Pack of Vidalia onions and Roma tomatoes, marked down to $0.99!

Pack of mixed red and yellow cherry tomatoes, marked down to $0.99!

Pack of nectarines and plums, marked down to $0.89!

Pack of zucchini, marked down to $0.79!

I was so excited to find many good veggies and fruit for so little money. The fruit we ate plain and the zucchini and tomatoes went into a pasta dish. I chopped and froze the onions for later use.

Shaws:

6 Bird’s Eye veggies, on sale $1.49 each if you buy 6. I used 6 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.49 each! (The jury is still out on whether or not we’ll buy these again. All of the flavors are new and some were just plain weird like the buffalo cauliflower. For $0.49, it’s ok, but I wouldn’t pay full price.)

Family pack of sirloin steak tips, on sale $5.99/lb with $3.00 mark down coupon. Total: $14.77!  (Not pictured because we ate it all up and it was delicious. I marinated it overnight in Italian dressing and then grilled. So good, do quick, so easy!)

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was a fun time shopping. I scoured the outlets for bargains and found cute clothes/shoes—both of which I’ve been needing. I also found some treats that were perfect for an at-home date night (we snacked on peanuts, pizza, & soda while watching Season 3 of Ray Donovan On Demand. SO much fun!), and struck gold with a huge sale on berries.

Gap Outlet:

They were having a 70% off clearance event which was awesome. I found a teal sweatshirt marked down to $3.99 and black wedge sandals marked down to $9.99.

Banana Republic Outlet:

Since this store is located right next to Gap, I try to always stop into both when I make a trip to the outlets. BR wasn’t having quite as many mark downs, but I did find black and white pony hair flats for only $10.99. They had a slight scuff on the bottom—which no one will see anyway—and were a final sale purchase.

Because my feet are narrow, I have a hard time finding anything that actually fits, so it was a nice surprise. I am saving the flats for fall and wearing the wedges now.

Target:

2 Red Barron pizza, on sale $2.50 each. I used a $1.50 Target mobile coupon stacked with a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.25 each!

2 Diet Dr. Pepper 2-liters, regular price $1.89 each. I used a $1.00/2 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with 50% off cartwheel. Total: $0.44 each!

CVS:

2 containers of party peanuts, on sale $2.99 each. I used a $2.00/2 CVS coupon and $3.00 ECBs. Total: $0.49 each!

Rite Aid:

Crest sensitive toothpaste, on sale $3.00. I used a $0.50 manufacturer’s coupon and $2.50 Plenti Points. Total: Free, plus another $2.50 in points.

Local produce store:

8 pints of raspberries, on sale $0.99. Total: $7.92. (I froze most and used the rest for some very tasty muffins.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week had a little something for everyone: free treats for the dogs, junky breakfast food for my guy, and snacks/paper products for me. I shopped 3 stores and managed to find lots of freebies and cheapies! I was glad to find at least one of the drugstores had something I wanted; lately, the deals have been terrible!

CVS:

Just the Basics paper plates, on sale $3.69. I used a $3.00 off any $3.00 or more store coupon. Total: $0.69!

Just the Basics paper towels, on sale $0.99 with a $0.25 store coupon. Total: $0.74!

2 Mini pistachios, regular price $1.00. I used a 2/$2.00 store coupon. Total: Free!

Shaws:

I was hoping to use last week’s rain check for Ronzoni pasta. That wasn’t in stock yet, but I found many other enticing items.

Package of green peppers, marked down to $0.89!

Package of mini Yukon gold potatoes, marked down to $0.99!

2 Fruit loops, on sale $1.00 each. Total: $2.00, plus $1.00 Checkout 51 rebate!

2 Pop tarts, on sale $1.00 each. Total: $2.00, plus $1.00 Checkout 51 rebate!

The veggies had some slight blemishes, but once everything was chopped, it was fine. The cereal and tarts are usually $3.49 each, so this was huge savings (I’m fully aware that stuff is terrible, but my guy is a confirmed sugar addict and will buy it anyway).

Target:

6 pedigree dog treats, details here. Total: Free!

I printed coupons to buy discounted movies, but my store was cleaned out! I’m saving them for next time, along with Bounty paper towels and Dr. Pepper cartwheel deals.
