Saturday's Savings

On Saturday morning I got up early to run some errands while hubby was busy. I hit up 4 stores and got a lot done! It was nice to finally feel good enough in the morning to get things done.

Walgreens

4 Nutrigrain Bars $10
-$1/2 peelie
-$1/2 peelie
= $8.00 + tax (and I got back $3 RR)



Rite Aid


$10.99 Prenatal Vitamins
$9.99 Maybelline Mascaras x 3
$2.49 Tiny Diner placemat
$0.63 Extra Gum
-$5/25 RAQ
= $19.11 + tax (And I'll get back $5 SCR)

Keep your eye out for lots of baby clearance at your Rite Aid. Many bottle/feeding/toy accessories were marked 50% off. This placemat was marked 50% off but rang up at 75% off and I didn't notice until I got home! That's why my total was low and I had to throw in a pack of gum at the register.

Target


$1.99 Kraft Mayo x 5
$1.00 Squishy ball (for a primary prop)
-$1 TQ x 5
-$1 MFQ x 5
= $0.95 + tax

Albies


Transaction #1:
$1 Propel x 4
$0 Propel free (buy4g1)
$2.50 Country Time x 4
$1.50 Life Cereal
-$0.55 propel MFQ x 5
-$1.50 Country Time MFQ x 2
-$3 instant savings
-$3 double coupons
= $3.74 + tax (and got back $1 catalina)


Transaction #2:
$1.50 Cap'n Crunch x 2
$1.50 Ground Turkey x 2
-$1 catalina (from previous)
= $4.98

The self-checkout supervisor came up to me at checkout and told me about the B4G1 Propel deal, and she had all the $0.55 MFQ's for me. So I ended up getting 5 Propel's for $1.25. Great deal! Also, for being a guinea pig, she doubled my coupons at $3 instead of $2.55, which was nice of her. I only got back one $1 catalina, even though I should have gotten two, but oh well!

I was planning on using my $3 RR from Walgreens at Albies, but the checkout supervisor told me they no longer accept competitor's catalinas. :( Sad day.

New Smith's Fresh Values Card E-Coupons

If you haven't been loading e-coupons onto your Smith's Fresh Values card, now would be a good time to start! In the past in Utah, we've only had Shortcuts coupons available to us. However, Cellfire recently opened it's doors in Utah, as well as a new company called Bringing Hope.

These e-coupon sites will email you when new e-coupons become available, which is usually about once per month. That way you never miss out on a great deal!




How do I get e-coupons?
Simply make an account at Shortcuts, Cellfire or Bringing Hope using your Smith's Fresh Values card number (found on the back of your card) and your email address. Then click to add the desired available coupons onto your card.

How do I redeem e-coupons?
Once at the store, simply purchase the required items and scan your Smith's Fresh Values card at checkout. The applicable coupons will be subtracted from your total instantly!

Why are e-coupons so great?
E-coupons are great because they can be used in addition to store promotions, sales, and clipped manufacturer's coupons!

Here's an example of a great deal on Huggies this week at Smiths. There is a Cellfire coupon for $3/2 Huggies diapers, as well as an in-store promotion to save $3 at checkout when you buy $15+ of Huggies products.
