Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!

This week was all about nails—both polish and remover—and drinks. I had success at 2 drug stores and a hellish trip at Walgreens. Every time I consider giving Walgreens another try, I’m reminded why I quit them a while ago. I hope the merger with Rite Aid won’t ruin that, too.

CVS:

2 Revlon nail polishes, sale price $3.99. I used 2 $3.00 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.99 each! (Isn’t the Pink Glaze color so pretty? It’s on my toes now and I love it.)

Just The Basics bottled water, sale price $2.22. (Only a dime per bottle is a great price for water. I try to always have drinks in the car in case I get thirsty while out.)

Rite Aid:

6 Rite Aid nail polish remover pads, $0.49 plus Buy one, Get one 50% off. Total: $2.19 plus $4.00 Plenti Points! (Notice the upside down sign. Funny, huh? I prefer non acetone products, but I bought these anyway since it was a moneymaker.)

3 Wyler’s drink mixes, regular price $1.00. I used a $1.00/3 manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $2.00 plus $2.00 Plenti Points.

Schick razors were included on my list, but the store was totally out of stock. I have lots of razors in my stock pile, so it’s not a big loss.

Walgreens:

As usual, shopping at Walgreens is a huge hassle and total waste of time. I saw a great deal about Gillette Venus products mentioned on numerous blogs. I wrote down the instructions step-by-step and followed them exactly, but it didn’t work. The paper coupons beeped; the digital coupons never came off. The cashier was nice but totally overwhelmed. She told me I could talk to the manager after he returned from lunch. Not worth it! I left empty handed.
