Super Savings Saturday -- CVS and Kroger!

I stocked up at CVS this week. I have slacked off on my CVS shopping in the past few weeks, but this week, I’M BAAAACCCKKK!!!

I completed 3 different purchases this week. I even took a co-worker with me for one purchase and I believe I have a CVS convert on my hands!

Then I ventured to Kroger where I transferred a $4 generic prescription to the Kroger pharmacy and received a $20 RX reward, which I had a coupon for from the newspaper a few weeks ago. We needed to stock up on Pull-ups. My supply had dwindled as I hoped to have potty training done with, but Hoss had other ideas! I took advantage of the Huggies’ deal this week at Kroger, when you purchase $20 in Huggies items you receive $4 off your purchase. This allowed me to get 2 packages of Huggies Pull-ups and a Huggies’ wipe for $10.48.

With these promotions I purchased the following items for $14.11 (sorry, no picture, I had a couple hungry men wanting dinner when we were done shopping):
4 Kroger ½ gallon milks -- $5
Tyson Chicken Breast -- $3.76
3 Bounty Basic paper towels -- $3
2 Pull-ups -- $18.98
1 Huggies wipes -- $2.50
3 Pringles -- $3
Betty Crocker Brownie mix -- $1
Sunmaid Raisin -- $1.69
2 Little Debbie Snacks -- $2
A1 Steak Sauce -- $2.99
2 Kroger Bread -- $2
Potatoes -- $3.29
5 Refuse Bags -- $3.79
Total: $53
$20 RX rewards = $33
Huggies Promotion = $29
Huggies Shortcuts $2 coupon = $27
2 Huggies $2 off Pullups = $23
50cents off Huggies Wipes (doubled to $1) = $22
Local coupon for free refuse bags, $3.79 = $18.21
30 cents off 3 Pringles (60 cents) = $17.61
3 25 cents off Bounty paper towels ($1.50) =$16.11
$1 off A1 Steak Sauce = $15.11
$1 off Tyson Chicken Breast =$14.11
19 cent tax, TOTAL = $14.11
I saved 78%, $52.34 (including Kroger sales).
If you include the $4 prescription, total = $18.11

Watch out for that Pro-Health mouthwash! I got that to get the ECBs and then I lost my sense of taste for 2 days. Curious, I googled it and it is definitely a large problem along with tooth staining and "blue goobers" in your mouth. Just thought I'd let you know!

Blessings,

Three cheers for all the drugstores with $4 generics! And now Wal-Mart has started selling 3 months of some generics for $10. Wow! For my other meds that aren't generic I use the prescription discount card that I found at www.rxdrugcard.com. Low membership fee. Drug prices posted to check before you join.
