It was another great week of savings! I got a ton of free toothpaste, free water, cheap eyeliner, and much more by shopping the deals and using coupons.

Rite Aid:  6 Colgate toothpastes, details here. Total: Free! (This is why I love to coupon. I buy ahead when I can pick up items for free and then I don’t have to pay retail. I won’t need toothpaste for the rest of the year now.)

Shaw’s:   Vidalia onions, on sale $0.69/LB. I bought 5.12 Lbs and used a $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupon (doubled). Total: $2.53!  (Rock-bottom price for sweet onions.)

2 rotisserie chickens, on sale for $5.00 each, plus a free bottle of Aquafina. Total: $10.00 for 2 chickens and 2 waters! (I love to buy these whenever they’re on sale, especially when it’s hot out and I don’t want to heat up my kitchen.)

Walgreens: 2 Revlon eyeliners, usually $9.49, now clearance for $4.79, plus a Buy One, Get One 50% off sale. I used 2 Manufacturer’s coupons and 2 $1.00 store coupons. Total: $1.18 for both! (These are double-sided so it’s like paying $0.29 each for 4 eyeliners.)

While I was at Walgreens, I made sure to say hello to all the cashiers. Because I’ve shopped there almost every week for years, I’ve gotten friendly with many, especially the ladies in cosmetics. The Burt’s Bees and Dove were free samples given to me when I bought the eyeliner. How nice is that?! I really appreciated it and loved the surprise. Being a nice couponer is rewarding in many ways!

Did you used any coupons this week?
