Way to go Anna! I sure wish that we had a CVS here in Colorado…I know they have some amazing deals!

And this week’s other savings superstar is Samantha…and here is what she sent me…

I got some AMAZING deals at Safeway as well this week! I’ve attached a picture 🙂 I did these in two different transactions.


4 scrubbing bubbles extend-a-clean
4 scrubbing bubbles refills
15 pillsbury cream cheese minis (only 10 are pictured because I gave 5 to a sweet older lady in line behind me!)
4 Betty Crocker Scallopped Potatoes
4 Windex
1 Lunchable
Paid at checkout: $1.79 total in the first transaction (rolled the first set of $12 in catalinas into the second purchase to get $3.65 back in cash so I really never spent anything. I actually made $1.86) plus received another $18 in catalinas! WOW!

Wow is right…you guys never cease to amaze me. Congrats on your shopping success!

She paid just $14.42 for everything in the picture above! That is $101 worth of products! Plus, she received $3 in Catalinas back, brinigng her total down to just $11.42!!!
