Super Savings Saturday – 8/23

a3

It’s Saturday, it’s Super, and it’s time for Savings!

This week was rather chaotic. Hungry Bear hurt his knee at work and we had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night! He has to wear a knee brace and use crutches—for an undetermined amount of time. He was in so much pain when it happened and it’s been really rough on my Bear!

In other personal news, someone I’m related to through marriage died unexpectedly at the age of 32. He has a 1.5 year old son and it’s truly heartbreaking. I feel beyond badly for everyone involved! I’ve been estranged from these relatives for many years, so it’s even weirder and worse. I’m praying everyone can find comfort (somehow) during this ordeal.

Ok, enough rambling…onto the savings! I only shopped two stores this week, Shaw’s and Rite Aid.

Shaw’s:

2 Cheddar Chex Mix, on sale $1.00. I used 2 $0.50 Manufacturer’s coupons (doubled). Total: Free!

2 Pirate’s Booty Mac and Cheese, details here. Total: Free!  (This was out of stock for weeks.)

2 Super Chill soda, on sale $2.50. I used a $1.50/2 Manufacturer’s coupon. Total: $1.75 each!  (Not as good as Diet Coke, but ok for the price.)

2 containers of cherry tomatoes, on sale $0.97. Total: $1.94!

2 Premium Romaine salad mixes, on sale $0.97. Total: $1.94!

Blue Bunny mini swirl cones, on sale $2.99. I used a $0.75 Manufacturer’s coupon (doubled). Total: $1.50!  (Blue Bunny emails a coupon monthly if you sign up for their newsletter.)

Rite Aid:

Zim’s Max Freeze, on sale $5.00. I used a $2.00 Manufacturer’s coupon and a $3 UP reward. Total: Free, plus $5 Up reward!  (Perfect timing for this deal; it came in very handy for the bad knee!)

When I write it all out, it seems like far less than usual, but sometimes real life gets in the way. Hopefully, next week I’ll find more cheapies and freebies, but this haul was still decent.

Did you find any great deals this week? Everyone is welcome to add them to the comments!
