Shaw's 8-28

There is finally another catalina deal this week at Shaw's! Unfortunately, my Shaw's was completely out of stock on some of the really good "free" items, so my trip wasn't quite as good as I had hoped. But it was still fun to get some decent deals again! And I snagged a couple rainchecks - so I now have time to order my coupons, in case I don't get a chance to go back out this week.

*2 gallons of milk (not pictured)
*12 Tuna Helpers
*4 Progresso soups
*6 Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie mix
*1 BC cake mix
*1 BC frosting
*1 Pepperidge Farm goldfish crackers

*7 Nature Valley granola bar varieties
*10 Chex mix
*6 Nabisco Oreo cookies
*2 Yoplait yogurt packages
*11 Green Giant frozen vegetables

Total Cost: - $3.94*

*Note - the register didn't correctly give me the 2nd Right Guard razor for free (sale was buy one, get one free. I didn't realize this until later, so I need to go back & get this fixed. If this had rang up correctly, my total would have been even better.)

Total Out of Pocket: $3.56
Total Extra Bucks Spent: $5.00

Good Deals Note

You may have noticed that I've posted some upcoming deals for CVS & Walgreens. I get my info from I Heart CVS.com and I Heart Wags.com.

Starting next week, I will be back to homeschooling and I won't have as much time to post deals. If you don't see updates, I highly recommend you check out the following websites:
-IHeartCVS
-IHeartWags
-IHeartRiteAid
-A Full Cup - find your local stores & deals here!

The best way to take advantage of deals is to know ahead of time, so you can locate the appropriate coupons - by printing them out, finding them from your collection, or buying them from ebay or a coupon clipping service - and have them in hand for the sale. The websites I listed above are fantastic at finding out the sales at least a week in advance - often even a month ahead of time. Check them regularly and you will start saving like crazy!
