Deals Lately

The weekend before last I was out of town, and last weekend we were busy with graduation and the senior all-night party. Because of all that, I haven't been to Walgreens or Rite Aid in three weeks. I did go to Walmart yesterday, where I bought what I'll need to make supper until the end of the month. I won't bore you with the detail of that entire trip, but here are a few highlights:

-Dial Body Wash, trial size- $.97. Used $2/1 coupon, making this free plus $1.03 overage

-Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries- free

-8 packages of Wet Wipes Singles- $.97 each. Used 4 $1/2 coupons, making them $.47 each

-Pert Plus Shampoo, trial size- $.97. Used $1/1 coupon, making it free plus $.03 overage

Today after work I went to Safeway to take advantage of their mix and match offer. The deal is that you buy any eight of the 3000 participating items and receive $.50 off each item. I didn't have a list, but I wandered the aisles until I found eight deals that I was satisfied with. My two best deals of the day, though, weren't even part of the mix and match.

Classico Pasta Sauce, $3.19 each. These were B1G1 free, which took the price down to $1.60 each. Then I had a $1/2 coupon, which Safeway doubled up to $.50, giving me an additional $1.50 off, or $.75 off each jar. I paid $.85 each.

Resolve Stain Remover, $3.89 each. These were also B1G1 free, making them $1.95 each. I used 2 $.50/1 coupons, which Safeway doubled to $1 each. I paid $.95 each.
