Savings Highlight

I didn't do a whole lot of shopping this week.  That might be because I did the majority of it yesterday, but I still managed to rack up quite a bit in savings.
So I waited until the 26th to use my $6 in Rite Aid Up Rewards that were expiring that day. I got 4 bottles of Pantene Shampoo which before coupons was 4.99 a bottle.  I had two buy 1 get 1 free coupons and the $6 in Up Rewards.  Out of Pocket I spent 4.23 and I saved 80%.  If you use Pantene then you know that $4.23 out of pocket for 4 bottles is a good deal.
Next stop Old Navy.  They had some tank tops on sale plus I had a $35 rewards certificate I wanted to use.  I carefully planned out my trip.  I wanted to spend no more than $38 before the rewards certificate.  So to make sure I did not go over my set amount as I added things to my cart I punched in the amount to the calculator to add to my running total. I did it I managed to spend $36.06 before certificate.  Out of pocket I only had to pay $1.06.  The cashier thought she did something wrong when she put my certificate in since the total went from 36.06 down to 1.06.  Nope nothing wrong there.  She complimented me on my savings.  If all the merchandise I purchased was full priced I would have spent $71.06-sales and certificate total out of pocket $1.06 for a 99% savings.  OH YEAH!!
Stop number three Shop Rite.  I thought I only went in for a few things, how did my total jump to 102.33 before sales and coupons.  Wow that must have been some expensive stuff :-)  Well those few things turned into 20 items for a total out of pocket 43.24.  Not everything did I have a coupon for, but everything was on sale and I managed to save 58% that shopping trip with coupons, sales and bottle receipts.
After the first three stops I needed to come home grab a glass of tea and something to eat.  Once I was recharged I headed to Target.  Earlier in the week I noticed that House M.D. Season 7 was on sale for 16.99 which is awesome.  The original price for the DVD set is 44.99.  I made sure I went and picked one up. I should have picked it up earlier in the week when I saw it, but I didn't.   While at Target I did pick up two other things that were not on sale so my percent of savings was not as high.  I only managed to save 43% on my Target purchases.
Overall I have to say I had a pretty good week savings wise.  Wonder what kind of savings I will rake in this week!!
