Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week, I shopped quite a bit and found many good deals and freebies, including an amazing price on chicken.

Rite Aid:

2 Reach toothbrushes, on sale $1.99 each. I used 2 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.98! I used Plenti points, so it was free and I earned an additional $2.00 in points.

Walmart:

3 Curad tape, regular price $0.96. I used 3 $1.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free!

Icy hot pain patch, regular price $1.48. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon, plus $0.12 overage from the Curad. Total: $0.36!

It’s rare to get out of a Walmart spending less than a dollar, so this was a fun trip!

CVS:

6 nutritional shakes, assorted flavors, on sale $1.25 each. Total: $7.50, with $7.50 in ECBs!

It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve seen a limit of 6 on anything at CVS. I love being able to buy bigger quantities, so I hope the trend continues.

Shaws:

Anytime I step into a grocery store, I hit the reduced sections first and this time, I found quite a find! Perdue chicken was BOGO, I had coupons, and it had store mark down coupons. You can’t beat that!

2 Perdue perfect portions, on sale $11.99 plus BOGO. I used a $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon and each pack had a $3.00 coupon attached. Total: $2.25 each!  (I wasn’t sure if the store would allow the mark down coupon on the free pack to go through, but it worked just fine.)

Package of rib eye steak, on sale $10.08, plus $3.00 mark down coupon. Total: $7.08!

While I love the price of the Perdue chicken, I think individually wrapped pieces are a joke. Does anyone actually cook only a single breast? I cooked the entire package at once, cut it into strips, and will be using it for lunches/dinner during the week.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This was a very busy week full of nothing but doctors and anxiety. On Monday, I went in for an ultrasound for one problem and then Thursday it was back to the eye doctor for yet another follow up. Sometimes I feel like I spend all of my time dealing with various health issues. Not fun! Getting to coupon, however, is!

I went to 4 stores and found lots of cheapies and freebies—nothing super exciting, but most of it was necessity.

Target:

2 packages of ground beef, on sale $3.50/Lb, with $1.00 mark down stickers. I also used 10% off Cartwheel. Total: $2.25 each!

There were a bunch of other Cartwheel deals I wanted, but everything was gone.

Shaws:

2 3-packs paper towels, on sale $2.00. I used 2 $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.50 each! (I love to stock up on paper products when they’re really cheap like this.)

8 cans Chicken of the Sea tuna, rain check price $0.79 each. Total: $6.32. (A good price for solid white albacore, but this brand isn’t that great compared to Bumble Bee.)

CVS:

2 Shout, rain check price $3.25 each. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $4.50, plus I got $3.00 in ECBs. 

Propel water, on sale $1.25 with a $1.25 ECB. Total: Free!  (So few people wanted this, it didn’t even have a sale sign at the store. After drinking it, I can see why. The taste is terrible! Think water with baking soda mixed in.)

Rite Aid:

I’m finally getting the hang of Plenti points, so I stopped in for a good deal on toothpaste.

2 Crest Pro-Health, on sale $3.00. I used 2 $1.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $4.00. I used $4.00 in plenty points and received another $4.00!

Did you find any deals?

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

We’re having a heat wave here in New England, but even 90 degree temps. couldn’t keep me out of the stores. I found many good deals and freebies this week, including lots of cheap cereal and baby items.

Walgreens:

I haven’t shopped here in forever, due to a lack of good deals. This week, however, was a gold mine!

4 Playtex bottles, on sale $3.99 each. I used 4 $2.00 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with 4 $2.00 store coupons. Total: Free!

3 Playtex sippy cups, on sale $3.99 each. I used 3 $1.50 manufacturer’s coupons stacked with 3 $2.00 store coupons. Total: $0.49 each!

Since the regular price for these items ranges from $6.49 to $7.99 each, this was a huge savings! I was at the store at 8:01 AM, right after they opened, and bought everything available. I wish they had more, because I have a bunch of extra coupons from a friend.

Shaw’s:

It was all about the cereal here!

6 boxes Frosted Flakes, rain check price $1.50. I used 3 $1.00/3 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $1.00 each!

2 boxes Reese’s Puffs, on sale $2.00. I used 2 $0.50 manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $1.00 each!

2 boxes Cookie Crisp, on sale $2.00. I used 2 $0.75 manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.50 each! 

Rite Aid:

Can I just say straight out that I hate the new Plenti program? I’ve made 3 attempts to link my Plenti card with my old Wellness card. It is still not working right (this is why I hate new loyalty programs)! My next step is to call corporate, but what a hassle! I’m earning Plenti, but not Wellness points for the meantime.

2 Colgate, rain check price $3.00 each. I used 2 $0.50 manufacturer’s coupons and they deducted 2 $3.00 In-Ad coupons. Total: Free!

GE light bulb, on sale $4.00. I paid $4.00 and got $4.00 in Plenti Points.

CVS:

Another rain check (see a pattern here?). I don’t like Playtex feminine products, but my sister does, do I’ll be passing this one on to her.

Playtex tampons, rain check price $7.99. I used a $3.00 manufacturer’s coupon stacked with a $2.00 store coupon. Total: $2.99 and I got $3.00 ECB.

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday.

This week was full of many freebies and deals, both from shopping my regular route plus a few new stores I’d never been to before. (Visiting somewhere new always gives me the needed motivation and energy to continue couponing, which can honestly be a chore at times.)

My favorite deals were free laundry detergent, free soap, and $0.88 chicken.

Walmart:

Purex detergent, regular price $3.99 with a $3.99 Try me Free rebate. Total: Free!

CeraVe face soap, regular price $4.97. I used a $6.00 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!

Hidden Valley Ranch dip, details here. Total: Free after rebate!

Shaws:

2 Marzetti salad dressings, on sale $2.50. I used 2 $0.75 manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $1.00 each!

1 package chicken legs and 1 package chicken thighs, BOGO plus $3.00 mark down coupons on each. Total: $0.88!   (What an incredible find! I didn’t know if both deals would go thru but it worked perfectly. I’m not crazy about dark meat, but I was super excited to score 4lbs of meat for less than $1.00!)

Children’s Orchard:

This is an upscale resale store for children and babies where you can buy and sell any items that are in good condition. Not only does it have clothes, there were also plenty of toys, furniture, and other kid-friendly items available. By joining the M.O.M.S Club, I received a $5.00 cache card, good on anything in the store.

I bought a 3-piece Carter’s infant set. Since it was only $4.99, I paid nothing!

BJ’s Wholesale Club:

After receiving a free 60-day membership offer in the mail, I was willing to give the wholesale club another chance. It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve set foot one of these and it was better than I remembered with much more variety. I walked the entire store to get a good lay of the land and compare prices. I liked the food/drinks and some of the clothes and books. I’m not, however, crazy about the cost. Because I shop deals and loss leaders, none of the food was cheaper than what I currently have access to, and there’s a $40 membership charge added on before anything is purchased. After running the numbers, I don’t think it’s worth it for me, but I did have fun shopping.

I purchased a beautiful scarf that was half price, $5.99, and I’ve already worn it twice this week.
