Super Savings Saturday

This post is intended for Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom. Her blog is awesome -- check it out! This post is also to give hope to those poor souls like me who don't have a CVS. As an apology to my family and regular readers -- if this is not your hobby (like me), you will have a hard time understanding this -- sorry :(


This stuff was from both Target and Walgreens. It cost me (its sort of complicated) about $25 (it actually cost less if you count the Register Rewards I got back at Walgreens).

Target:
6 Glade Plug-ins - sale for 1.60 ea.
2 baby shampoo - trial size 0.89 ea.
2 Lifesavers Gummis - 1.25 ea.
2 Gerber Puffs - 1.92 ea.
3lb bananas - .54/lb = 1.62
0.5lb cheese - 2.69
Desitin - 4.19
J&J Body Wash - 3.00
Subtotal = 19.62

Used:
$2/1 Glade printable
$2/2 J&J shampoo printable
BOGO Lifesavers from insert (Reagan's treat for getting her pics taken)
$2/2 Gerber (Target coupon from the mail - should have been 0.50/2, but they're all messed up!)
$1/1lb Target cheese printable
$3/1 Desitin (Target coupon from the mail - should have been 0.75/1)
$1/1 J&J Body Wash (Target coupon from the mail - should have been 0.75/1)
$2/2 J&J Wash and Desitin products printable (can't find the link - sorry, I think it was the J&J website?)

New total: $5.50

Walgreens #1:
2 Huggies Wipes - 2.50 ea.
Used $1/1 coupon from insert
Total= 4.28 -- Got back $2 RR for next purchase

Walgreens #2:
4 Planters Peanuts - 3.49 ea.
3 Mac & Cheese - 0.69 ea.

Planters were BOGO this week.
Used $3/1 Planters WYB 3 Kraft prod. printable here
Used $2 RR from WAG #1
Total=4.26 -- Got back $5 RR

Walgreens #3:
4 Planters Peanuts - 3.49 ea.
3 Mac & Cheese - 0.69 ea.
2 Oral B Cross Action TBs - 5.50ea.

Planters were BOGO this week.
Used $3/1 Planters WYB 3 Kraft prod. printable here
Used BOGO Oral B TB coupon from insert (and the one I bought was free after RR)

Total= $12.63 -- Got back $5 and $5.50 RR

Walgreens #4:
2 Huggies Wipes - 2.50 ea.
(Out of coupons!) But used $5 RR from WAG #2
Total= $0.30 -- Got back $2 RR

Grand total: OOP = $5.50 at Target, $13.xx at WAG, and $9 on my WAG gift card (rebates from last month) (so about $26.50). For that money, I got $12.50 RR to spend at WAG in the next 2 weeks.

Comparing my deals to other Money Savers, its not that great, but compared to paying regular price for the stuff I actually needed (wipes, bananas, & desitin) that's about what I would have spent. :)

**These ideas, deals, and links come from Money Saving Mom, More Than Enough, Budget Helps, and The Centsible Sawyer. Give their sites a visit if you are interested in this new hobby of mine :)**

When you have several transactions at the stores(like walgreens) do you go back and do each transactions or do you just stand there and say these are different transactions?
THANKS!
