Super Savers at Walgreens

Last week, I posted readers' pictures of their Shop 'n Save purchases, and it was a very popular post. As I mentioned earlier in the week, as long as readers were interested, I would pick a store and everyone was invited to send a picture of their purchases. I would post them along with a little blurb about their experience. Staci sent pictures this week. Thanks for sharing!

Edit: Judy sent me a picture of her Walgreens purchases. Scroll down to see what a great shopping week she had!

Staci's picture and story

I made 2 trips to Wags this week and did 4 transactions total. It's not my best week, but still a pretty good one. I ended up having to buy a Butterfinger at each store because my calculations were off when I got to the register, but my husband certainly didn't mind! Neither store would let me use the $1 Reach Qs I had, but not a big deal since we don't really care for the crystal clean toothbrushes anyway.

Summary of what I bought:
1 - U by Kotex pads
1 - U by Kotex liners
1 - RejuviCare liquid
4 - Ecotrin
3 - Neutrogena facial bars
4 - Lindsay olives
1 - Oxi Clean power paks
1 - Bumble Bee tuna
2 - Butterfingers

Started with $27 in RRs, spent $1.48 OOP, and ended with $33 in RRs plus a Q for free Always pads and a Q for free Always liners. So a profit of $4.52 and free Always pads and liners. WooHoo!!! Gotta love Wags!

Here is a summary of what I bought in 3 transactions

4 bags Hershey's & Reese's candy
4 bags lifesavers
2 Nivia Body Wash
1 Luster toothpaste
2 Stove Top
2 Ecotrin
2 A-Z vitamins
2 Kotex U
2 Nature's Bounty C & D3
6 Neutrogena facial bars
400 sheet printer paper
2 Nivia lip care
1 Butterfinger bar
1 Butterfinger Snackerz
Not pictured- 1 gal milk
1 Pure 24 pk water
1 Butterfinger and 1 Snackerz (I couldn't resist on the way home)

$123.57 Retail.
I started with $26 RR, spent $3.25 OOP not including tax. I have $24.50 RR for next week.

I'm not really sure how you calculate your percentage of savings. I just take my OOP and divide it by retail price. Is that how you do it?
If so, then my percent saved is 97%.

You can still participate:

Call for Super Savers

Are you a Super Saver?

Last week, I posted pictures of what great deals readers picked up at Shop 'n Save. It was a very popular post. If readers are interested, I would like to make this a weekly feature. Not Shop 'n Save every week, but whichever retailer has the best deals.

I'll post readers pics either Friday evening or Saturday morning.

This week's call for Super Savers: Walgreens.

Ways to participate

• Email me pictures of your Walgreens purchases with what you spent and a small blurb about your experience.
• Email me the link to your blog post about your Walgreeens' purchases.
• After the Super Savers post is up, leave a comment with what you purchased and saved.

Warning: It takes a strong backbone and thick skin to be a couponer. There are a few negative Nellies that like to be judgemental.

I don't judge what others purchase. I don't think it's right to clear shelves just because you can, but on the other hand, I have no idea of what others circumstances and needs are. I hope everyone will keep this in mind when they leave a comment.

Super Savers at Shop 'n Save

It sounds like lots of people had great shopping trips to Shop 'n Save this week. Several readers emailed me pictures of their purchases to share.

Edit: Rhonda sent pictures of her receipts. Click on the picture to take a closer look.

I feel like my percentage of savings is my "grade". Rhonda earned a spot on the "Deans List" with a 4.0!

Marcella's Purchase

"80% savings. Spent $34.94. Saved $125.44. Won't need to buy coke for over a year and I did it with three kids 6 and under...only one of which was restrained in a cart.

I did two trips and had a cooler bag with cold packs in the car for the brats and cool whip. I went back in for round two with my $11 in catalinas. I had to pick up a few things not on super sale just because we needed them.

I have enough now to turn in the Kraft rebate for $10. Woohoo! "
