Welcome to another edition of Super Savings Saturday!
This week was all about school supplies. There some amazing deals I went looking for at CVS and Walgreens, but most was sold out. I was planning to shop for a 3rd time today, but it was 89 degrees with a crazy thunder/lighting storm, so I passed. Due to the storm, I’m also not able to upload photos. I keep losing the connection, so I’m posting now and will try to add photos in later. Use your imagination until then!
CVS:
I made two trips on Sunday and Thursday. My store was out of the free Papermate pens, but I did find pencils.
3 pack of Papermate mechanical pencils, 5-ct, on sale $0.59 each. I used 3 $0.55 manufacturer’s coupons. Total: $0.04 each!
Butterfinger, on sale $0.99. I used a $0.75 in-store coupon. Total: $0.24!
Caliber pencil sharpener, regular price $1.99. I used a $1.50 in-store coupon. Total: $0.49!
Diet Coke 2-Liter, on sale $0.99. I used a $0.25 in-store coupon. Total: $0.74!
Shaws:
I found some unexpected goodies hiding on the reduced rack.
Baby Basic diapers, 36-ct, marked down to $2.99! (Never tried the brand before, but it’s worth the risk, since diapers are usually $8.99.)
2 boxes Equaline heart burn relief, 30-ct, marked down to $1.99. (Must have medicine for Hungry Bear. His acid reflux is so bad, he once woke up with acid in his nose! So, I was glad to find a super cheap generic version of Zantac.)
2 Everyday Essential butters, on sale $1.99. (Not an incredible price, but butter is always expensive, anyway. I needed it to make sugar cookies.)
Target:
I brought my CVS & Walgreens ads in to price match. Big surprise, there was nothing available. Talk about a wasted trip. I left the store empty handed.
Did you find any good deals or freebies? Share/link in the comments.
This comment is about the acid reflux. Have the hubby try a good brand of chewable papaya after EVERY meal. These replace digestive enzymes. Sometimes when don’t produce enzymes you over produce acid to compensate. Give it 2 weeks. It’s cheap and tastes good so, why not.
Judy, Thank you SO much for this tip! I’ve never heard of chewable papaya. Can you suggest a certain brand that’s worked for you?
I worked for GNC for 20 years. Even toured the plant in Greenville once. I never doubt their quality. Soure Naturals, Nature’s Way, TwinLab, Natrol, and NOW are all good.
Pineapple or combination pineapple/papaya work well but are more expensive. If he also has arthritis I might pop for the combo.
