Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday. This was a great week of shopping with many freebies!

I started the day with a free coffee, then I headed down the street to hit 3 drug stores and a grocery  store.

Walgreens: 5 packages of Hydroxycut shakes, on sale for $5.00 each. I used 5 $5.00 Manufacturer’s coupons. Total: Free! (Very excited these finally were in stock; I’ve had the rain check for weeks!)

CVS: Details here. Total: $1.62!

Rite Aid: 2 bags of Brach’s jelly beans, on sale for $0.88 each. I used a $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupon (marked down).

Physician’s Formula eyeliner, $5.35 with my Wellness discount. I used a $4.00 Facebook coupon. Total: $1.35!

Shaw’s: 3-Lb bag of carrots, reduced. Total: $0.99!

2 pineapples, on sale for $1.77 each. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $0.77 each!

2 Stonyfield Field yogurts, rain check items for $.50 each. I used a $1.00/2 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: Free!

2 Smart Balance, on sale $3.00 each. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: $2.00 each!

All of these items will come in handy. I’ll be having a lot of carrots sticks and pineapple slices for snacks. I needed a new eyeliner, so the timing on that was perfect. I’m most excited about the Fish Oil. That was recommended by my sister and my doctor for the endless eye problems I’ve been struggling with. Keep your fingers crossed that it works!

Did you use any coupons this week?

Let’s call this the whole foods edition of Super Savings Saturday. I used very few coupons this week, but it wasn’t for lack of trying! CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens sent me home with a handful of rain checks. (It happens to every couponer, don’t get discouraged!) So, I focused on mostly grocery store deals.

Market Basket: 2 heads of Boston lettuce, on sale 2/$3.00. (Half-price at MB, but I’ve seen those go for $4.99 each at some stores.) Total: $3.00

Big bag of string beans, on sale for $0.99/Lb. Total: $1.19

Big bag of broccoli, on sale for $0.99/Lb. Total: $2.27

Shaw’s: I really cleaned up on markdowns. *Note for my New England readers: Try to shop early if possible. I grabbed up all these goodies at 8:00AM right after the meat manager brought out the stickers.

Whole chicken, originally $15.66, on sale for $8.66, with a $3.00 markdown. Total: $5.66 for an 8.75Lb bird.

2 Rib Eye steaks, originally $11.99/Lb. Each had a 3.00 markdown. Total: $4.91 and $5.63.

Tons of meat and veggies, free bleach, razors, hand soap, and dishwasher products. Not a bad week at all!

How many coupons did you use this week?

Another wild week of deal hunting. Rite Aid was out of almost everything, so I had to leave with a stack of Rain checks. The Catalina machine was broken at Walgreens for 3 days in a row, and when it was finally fixed, someone had beat me to all the deals except a single pack of energy shots! Oh well, you can’t win ’em all…
