I love when I don’t have to buy anything in particular, when my stockpiles are fully stocked in my pantry and freezer. That is when I go out and buy items that are at the absolute best prices. Like on this trip to ShopRite & Rite Aid. Here I spent $48.50 for all this and have a $10 catalina to spend for next week. I got $7.00 worth of deli meat, fruit, 4 lbs of Tilapia, 1 gallon of milk, 2 bottles of Cetaphil, light bulbs, 16 boxes of Quaker chewy bars, 4 loaves of bread, 4 bags of raviolis and more. So for a final price of $38.50 I got $153.35 worth of groceries.
And then, a trip to Pathmark that made my son quite happy. Sweet, Ellios was what I heard!!
If you have a Pathmark close by I would highly recommend this deal. I’m going back for more during the week. For this I paid $3.37 and I received a $5.00. I did use my catalina from last week but I did not have any coupons to use with it. When I go back during the week I will just simply “roll” my $5.00 to help pay for the next set of 6. So for a profit of $2.00 I got $33.23 worth of groceries. And to think there was a time I used to buy these full price. Oh my!
My total for the week was: $51.87 out of pocket for $186.58 worth of groceries and I have $15 worth of catalinas.
::SHOW ME YOUR BEST DEALS
Now, I have a challenge for all you Shoprite shoppers. This week, as you have seen, there are a lot of catalina deals. Since I will not be doing all of them, I am calling all of you to share your own deals you did this week at ShopRite. I don’t need pictures. Just email me a list of the catalina deal(s) you did this week. List it like I do, with the quantity, coupons etc. Let’s see what great combos you all have come up with. I”ll post them up as they come in. It’s a great way to see how others are saving money.

Cindy,
If one uses the $5.00 Catalina from the Ellios deal to buy new Ellios (6 boxes), would a new $5 catalina print out?
Thanks.

@ueen, Hi Ueen. Yes it will! It will roll
@Cindy, Thanks Cindy. You’re the best. On a separate note, I believe the pompeian at shoprite will roll as well.

@Karen, Hi Karen, Yes I posted about it about a week ago however they have not had any good sales to go along with it. Last week they had some of those Kellogg’s cereals on sale but the sale sizes were too small to work with the catalina. Hopefully before the end of the catalina we will see something better in terms of sale prices. Thanks!!
I am so bummed!!! My ShopRite closed for remodeling and new ownership and will not be open for months. I love their sales although I have access to all other stores in my area. Enjoy for me until my store opens again.
