I have been having a hard time posting my weekend titles - Save Me Saturday and Saling Sunday. This past weekend, my husband and son went out of town and I gave a seminar at my church (hope you ladies had as much fun as I did!) So I thought I'd post this week's Save Me Saturday on Tuesday. I'm trying to come up with a catchy title. Maybe.....it'll come to me later.

So anyway, the good deals are at Giant this week. They have 4 $1 coupon doublers in their flyer. I was able to use two of them to get 6 - 12oz Bird's Eye Steam Fresh Veggies for $.17 each, $.99 total. They were 5/$4, plus $.99 extra for the 6th one I got. I used 2/$1 coupons ($1 off 3) when were doubled, making the cost $6/$.99.

I also 2 jars of Skippy peanut butter for $1.32 or $.66 each. They are $1.66 this week, and I have a $1/2 coupon which was doubled. $3.32 - $2.00 = $1.32.

I used my last doubler on Pillsburg Frozen dinner rolls. They are $2/5 this week. I got the 2/$3 or $1.50 each. Had my kids not been screaming, I would have realized that my coupon only required the purchase of 1 bag. But I got 2 instead. Just goes to show....don't take your kids shopping with you! haha

I found a Giant coupon online for $.50 off eggs. They are on special this week for $.99, so I got them for $.49.

Chicken Breasts (boneless/skinless) are $1.79lb and thighs and drumsticks are $.99lb.

I also found 2 other good coupons from the Giant website. Look for Easter Eggs to get these coupons. $2 off any $5 meat purchase and 2 off any $5 produce purchase.

I actually had a hard time finding 4 $1 coupons that were a good enough deal to double. I almost only used 3 of them, but then I looked through my coupons at the store and found a second Bird's Eye coupon. JACKPOT!

I also did pretty good at CVS too. I spent a total of $31.69 (in 3 transactions), got and used $16 in Extra Care Bucks, and got:

3 Jumbo packs of Huggies diapers ($10 plus 3-$1.50 coupons and $10 ECB)
4 Nivea Lip Care (BOGO Free plus I had 4 $1 coupons)
J&J Baby Wash ($3 plus $1 coupon)
1 Colgate Max toothpaste ($2.99, $2 ECB and $1 coupon)
Dawn dish detergent ($.99 plus $.20 coupon)

Plus I also go a card, some buttpaste (for my kids) and infant tylenol....none of which were on sale. I saved a total of $42.64. I didn't want to spend this much, but my daughter is sick, she has terrible diaper rash from the diarrhea and we're out of tylenol for her. What can you do?
