Super Savings Saturday – 7/11/15

IMG_20150709_145949

Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week I did all of my shopping during one long day rather than breaking it into shorter trips. I’m trying to find what’s easier because just getting out the house when you have chronic pain and insomnia can be a huge struggle. (Sometimes it seems like the only time I get outside is for doctor’s appointments and couponing, uh!)

Anyway, I found cheap drinks, chicken, veggies, and hit the first week of Back to School sales. The only low point was a bad trip to Target. I was super excited to shop the toy clearance and pick up some other Cartwheel deals. Imagine my frustration when I discovered I’d forgotten my phone and didn’t have the required e-coupons—after shopping for 40 minutes! Needless to say, I will be going back and trying that again.

CVS:

2 Lipton iced teas, on sale 2/$2.00, plus $2.00 ECB.

Propel water, on sale $1.25 with $1.25 ECB.

Popcorn, regular price $1.00. I used a $1.00 coupon. Total: Free!

Shaw’s:

2 packages of split breast chicken, BOGO plus $2.00 mark down stickers on each pack. Total: $7.07!

Pack of reduced zucchini, on sale $0.99!

Staples:

8 spiral note books, on sale $0.25. I bought 8 and the total was $2.00. I had a $2.00 Staple Ink Reward, so it cost me nothing! Because I shopped late in the week, I wasn’t sure how much stock would be left. There were plenty and I grabbed all the pinks and purples.

Local Produce Store:

I love this store because they have excellent mark downs, provided I time it properly (early in the morning or right before closing). They had much more than usual and I grabbed 3 huge packs of mixed stone fruit. It was mostly peaches with a few plums and nectarines tossed in. I cut it up and froze for smoothies. Interestingly enough, only a single piece of fruit was rotten. It makes me so sad how much edible food is thrown away in this country! I forgot to snap a pic, but it filled 2 gallon size Ziplocs.

 

Did you find any good deals? Feel free to link up or share in the comments.

    I was planning my Target toy shop after seeing your post this week.. spent 90 minutes in the store- got some great deals on clearance meats, and picked up some supplies we needed.. then the cashier was having trouble with my red meat deals (the coupons they have on the package) and I totally forgot to use my Cartwheel coupons!!!

    Ugh.. I was so angry at myself. I still got some great deals though. We will be eating organic meat for days- coupons plus a sale price.

    I also picked up a jar of instant iced tea powder.. I never knew it was good and cheap- makes it easy to make iced tea at work! It wasn’t on sale- but it was only 2.99 so that is a few weeks of tea.

      Isn’t it terrible when cashiers do that? I so feel for you, especially when I’m figuring you were probably out in 100 degree heat and shopping with a toddler. Give yourself some slack, you deserve it! Instant iced tea is great. I like regular and most of the flavors. Peach is really good if you like that taste.
