Super Saving Saturday: Late Night Walgreens Edition

Why in the world do I wait to shop until Saturday night? Haha. This week, it actually worked out.

First Stop: Costco
(I put the stuff away without paying attention to the actual sizes, and they aren't on my receipt. Rest assured, they are nothing short of gigantic containers.)

Schuler's Sharp Cheddar
Hummus (mmmmmmmmmy favorite!)
Land O Lakes Butter
Arm and Hammer Baking Soda

TOTAL: $23.69

Second Stop: Meijer
(I was going to use up my wee fistful of rainchecks tonight since this week's ad was less than impressive, but then the selection of items I had rainchecks for was also less than impressive. I will endeavor to shop Monday before they expire. We shall see ...)

2.23 lbs bananas, which I did not put in my cart ... (insert eye rolling): $1.32
2 Valu Time powdered garlic: $1
3.48 lbs ground beef clearanced to $1.75/lb: 6.09
4 avacados: $4
1 tray organic white mushrooms: $1

5 40oz Meijer hand soap refills: $14.85 - $3 Meijer brand cat = $11.85
2 46oz V8 juice: $6 - 50c/1 coupons = $5
5 Dry Cleaner's Secret single use packets clearanced to 79c: $3.95
(we use these instead of paying for regular dry cleaning ... they work great, and are so (!!) much cheaper ...)

TOTAL: $36.65
SAVED: $19.98 + $8 OYNO catalina generated by the hand soap = $27.98

Third Stop: Walgreens
(... and now, the fun part ...)

$15 Walgreens OYNO catalinas from last week's deals

TOTAL: $3.01 ($2.73 of which was tax ... subtotal = 28c!!)
SAVED: $94.70 + $3.99 rebate for Garnier + $6 rebate for Theraflu = $104.69

Yes, that's right, Walgreens paid me $6.98 to take home all those lovely goods this evening. Thank you kindly, Mr. Walgreens, wherever you are. Ha.

TOTAL Spent: $63.35
TOTAL Saved: $132.67 ... huzzah!
