Super Savings Saturday – 1/17/15

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

It was a week full of deals, except at the drug stores. Can you believe I stopped into CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens, and left each empty handed?! That only happens to me on rare occasions, and when it does, I have to fight my urge to buy something. I’m happy to report that I didn’t get any junk that wasn’t on my list and stayed on budget.

Hannaford:

9 Bayer aspirin, regular price $2.59 each. I used 3 $10.00/3 Manufacturer’s coupons (marked down to $7.77). Total: Free!    (I searched at Target, Wal-Mart, and 3 drugstores before I found any Bayer. Because the coupon was such a high value, stocks everywhere were totally depleted. I ended up finding some in Hannaford of all places. No overage, which I would’ve liked, but tons of free meds.)

2 Rib eye steaks, on sale $4.99/Lb. Total: $14.58. (Normally, the price is $12.49/Lb, so this was a huge reduction. I’m always on the lookout for unadvertised sales like this one.)

Shaw’s:

Everyday Essential bath tissue, on sale $2.99. Total: $2.99. (A fantastic price for the large pack. I try to stock up at $0.24 a roll or less. I would’ve bought more, but the limit was only 1.)

2 Everyday Essential crushed tomatoes, on sale $0.77. Total: $1.54.  (I like to keep these on hand for quick soups, stews, and chili.)

Edible Arrangements:

My favorite deal was a free pineapple pop. Due to being exceptionally overpriced and out-of-the-way, I’d never been into this store. I’m glad I did, because it was a fun time. The lady working there told me that walk-ins are rare and she was super friendly. The coupon was 1 pop per person and we got double (I took Hungry Bear along). The pops are a flower-shaped pineapple and cantaloupe combo. I have no idea what they normally cost, but it was a tasty treat for an exceptionally cold New England morning.

    It’s literally impossible for me to leave a store without something, whether or not I need it. Good job avoiding temptation. I spent $309 at Macy’s on stuff that’s still sitting in the car.

    OK, don’t take this the wrong way, but you are a lot younger and prettier than I thought. Maybe you post photos of yourself, but I havent’ seen one before??? Anyway, I thought you were around my mom’s age because of what you write about. Hope I’m not coming across as offensive here.

    Great deals…
    Don’t you just love coupons/ I search everywhere for them… And try to only buy what is on sale and a big plus to have a coupon to go along with a good sale..
