Super Savings Saturday!

One of our local Aldi stores had whole milk on sale for $2 a gallon. That is really cheap in our area. All we can figure is that it was getting close to its date, which is Tuesday or they were way overstocked. We will drink up what we purchased before it goes bad.

I did not have many coupons this week, but I was able to pick up 5 packs of Fast Fixins Chicken Nuggets for FREE! Kroger was running a special 10 for $10. I only had five coupons, so that was all I purchased. I may try and find more coupons for these before the sale ends.

At Walgreen's this week, I picked up 2 tubes of Colgate Max Fresh toothpaste for $.37. I know alot of folks get it for free, but this was the best deal I found. Unfortunately, there is no CVS in my area.

That is all I have for this week.

I also had a few other transactions that I had some good coupons for. I purchased other items that did not make them seem great to break down into a list, however I was able to do this:


Walmart:
5 boxes of Zantac @ 3.98, using 5 coupons @ $5.00 off (and got the overage of $1.02.)
2 boxes of Excederine Extra Strenght 24 count @ $2.79, using 2 coupons @ $2.00 off
(These two deals combined made these items basically free.)


Kroger:
1 Frenches Mustard @ $1.00, used a $.50 coupon that doubled so it was free
1 Frank's Red Hot Sauce @ $1.00, used a $.50 coupon that doubled so it was free
1 Frenches Worchestershire @ $1.49, used a $.50 coupon that doubled so it was only $.49
1 Reusable Shopping Bag free for designing a bag at Kroger.com

All in all, I think I did really well for being new at this. Thanks Crystal and everyone who posts at moneysavingmom.com for all the good examples.
