Giant Eagle Specials 5/29-6/4

Here are the weekly specials from Marcy at Stretching A Buck.

I was able to do the P&G deal again- this time I bought $10 of Dawn and Mr. Clean products and got another $5 catalina back. I spent my other $5 catalina this week. The only thing I found out is you can only "spend" one P&G catalina per transaction. Not a fantastic grocery trip this week but I spent $62- which is better than last week! One negative about saving money on groceries is less fuel perks to use though.

Unadvertised Giant Eagle Deal

I stumbled upon an unadvertised deal at Giant Eagle last week and now I have the details. Buy $10 worth of participating P&G items and get a $5 catalina back OYNO. The items are Swiffer, Mr. Clean, Cascade, Dawn and Febreze. There have been many coupons in the P&G insert for these items and also in the P&G Home Made Simple booklet. Also Swiffer products usually have a coupon inside the box.

I bought 1 Swiffer dry refill @$3.99, 1 Swiffer wet refill @$3.99 and 1 Swiffer duster @$3.99 and got $5 back. I had $1 off coupon for each. So I spent $9 OOP and got a $5 catalina back.

The deal runs through the end of June but is not in the GE ad.

Happy Memorial Day

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. We just got back from a trip to the Zoo. I did a little grocery shopping on Friday night at Giant Eagle and some how managed to get two catalina's for $3 and $5 and I'm not sure how since I did not research the deals this week! I was out of town for two days and just didn't have time. I did not do any CVS shopping this weekend either as I did not see anything I needed in the ad. I made a visit to a Super Wal-Mart for the first time yesterday. I think I might give up my Sam's club membership after seeing the store. Some of the prices are very good without having to buy in bulk. Lastly, we made a trip to the Step 2 factory store in order to get my daughter a Step 2 "playhouse" actually it is a gazebo and it was marked $100 off this weekend. So that will be her birthday present from us.

P.S. I also hit my first garage sale of the season yesterday and scored a Step 2 toy box in great shape for $8.

Yesterday instead of going to CVS like I normally do- I went to the bread outlet and got a loaf of Wonder whole grain bread for 89 cents! Then I went to the health food market and got some turkey breast for sandwiches for $4.89 lb and they had apples for $1.29 lb!

Coke/Diet Coke at CVS

I just paid $1.65 plus tax per 12 pk of Coke/Diet Coke at CVS. (That's just about 14 cents a can!) Here's how I did it:

Coke/Diet Coke 12 pks on sale for 4/$11 plus get one free
That comes to 5 pks for $11
I had a voucher for a free 12 pk from mycokerewards
Spent $8.25 for 5- 12 pks= $1.65 per 12 pk plus tax

That should last us at least a month!
