WOW! I went to my MIL's enrichment on Tuesday and the had a lady from www.grocerysmarts.com there and I got SOOOOOOOOO excited about coupons again. I used Grocery Smarts and I planned out my trip and went. I was expecting to pay $44+whatever the Mac and Cheese ended up being (the math was killing my head) so I figured $50-$52 bucks :) This is how it turned out!!

4 Kraft Shredded Cheese(part of promotion above too)Reg 4.49 on sale for 2.0

-$5 when you spend $40. Albertsons coupon mailed to me.

I didn't get my Albertson's Ad until AFTER I went shopping and it had 3 double coupons in there. I think I'm going to go back and get some more lean cuisines cuz that's what we eat for lunch.

So here is the breakdown

Before Coupons & Sales
$195.53
-107.65 Sale Prices
-26.83 mfg Coupons
-5.00 Store Coupons

Total 56.05 + 2.58 tax!!! + one free REDBOX rental that came with the free ice cream :)

I also got 3 Catalinas that I wasn't expecting. Catalina are the coupons that print at the register. I got (1) $1.00 your next shopping order for from Country Time, (1) $1.00/6 Lean Cuisines & (1) 2.00/1 off Benefiber Stick Pack.

I found a Lean Cuisines coupon in my coupon stuff when I got home too for a $1.00/3 so if I get 9 more Lean Cuisines @ 1.88 each that's $16.92- (2) $1.00 coupons makes it 14.92 but I'll get another free ice cream and another free Redbox Rental. And the Lean Cuisines are usually 3.79-4.99 each which would be 44.91 + 6.49 ice cream + 1.00 movie=52.40 so it would be a savings of 72%!!!


That's a savings of 71%!!!! WAHOO!!!!
