- 8 boxes Cinnamon Toast Crunch = $4.56. I loaded a J4U Personalized Price for $2.07/box. When you bought in multiples of 4, you saved $4, bringing my per box price down to $1.07. Used 4 $1/2 q's = $0.57/box.
- 3 bottles Pine-Sol $4.47. Used 3 $1/1 q's = $1.47 for all three.
- 2-10ct Mission Tortillas. Used J4U store q = $1.76 ($.088/package)
- 1 Reynolds Foil. Used J4U store q for $2.49/package plus .50/1 = $1.99. Not the best price, but I really needed some foil...
Total cost was $10.48. I saved a total of $23.11 in store and manufacturer q's. I also got two cats back for a free gallon of milk with the purchase of three General Mills cereals. If I can score some more cereal for $0.57/box, it will cost me less than a gallon of milk and I will get a 3 box cereal bonus:)
Next stop was Jewel. Some EXCELLENT deals to be had here and I got to chit-chat with some of my favorite Jewel ladies. Here is what I picked up:
- 10 Fage Greek Yogurt $12.50. Used 2 $2/5 printable q's = $8.50 (These are excellent and my FAVORITE brand of yogurt)
- 2 Fuze Drinks $1.00. Used $1/1 = FREE
- 2 Powerade Drinks $1.00. Used B1G1 = $0.50
- 1 Gino's East Frozen Pizza $3.34. Used Get 1 Free q = FREE
- 4 ears Sweet Corn = $0.80
- 20 bags Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Grahams $20.00. Used 20 .75/1 peelies that were attached to the bags = $5.00 (Yes, I know that 20 is a LOT...but they were only $0.25 sense a bag and they have a long shelf life and my kiddos love them...I kinda do too. Please don't let this one little purchase make me out to be a hoarder...I really am not and there were PLENTY left on the shelf for my fellow couponers)
- 4 Healthy Choice Mixers (donated to the storm victims) $7.96. Used 4 $1/1 Avenu q's loaded to my Preferred Card and 4 $1/1 = $0.04 MONEYMAKER
- 2 Pam Cooking Spray $3.98. Used 2 .75/1 = $2.48
I also used a $2/$25 store q and a $4.00 Cat that I got back from my Magnum ice cream purchase the weekend before. My grand total was only $10.32. I saved in $41.34 in store and manufacturer q's. Coupled with my preferred card savings, I saved a grand total of $90.66!
Last stop was Meijer. I had to do two transactions to utilize all my q's. Here is what I took home:
Transaction1:
- 4 Oscar Meyer Lunchables with fruit $9.92. Used 4 $1/1 q's = 5.92
With tax I payed $6.09 OOP and got back $5 in cats for an end cost of only $1.06 for four.
Transaction 2:
- 5-12 packs Coca-Cola $15.00. Used 2 FREE 12 pack q's = $9.00
- 12 Crystal Light $16.14. Used 2 B2G1 q's and 2 $1/2 q's = $8.76
- 1 package Lentils $1.00
- 1 package Navy Beans $1.00
I used my $5.00 in cats from my first transaction for an end total of $16.28. Meijer was running a promotion, buy $15 in Coca-Cola products and get a custom coupon for 4 FREE passes to Brookfield Zoo. The total to trigger this custom coupon for the Zoo is PRE-coupon Normally, I would have saved my free 12 pack q's to use over at Doms when they do the B2G2 12 pack deals...but I wanted these free passes and I wanted to drop the price on the Coke...so I threw them in the mix. In th end, $16.28 wasn't so bad for all those goodies and 4 passes to the zoo...and now the kiddos have some Lunchables to take with for a zoo picnic for only $0.50:)
At the end of the day, I spent a grand total of $43.14 for all those groceries and passes to the Zoo. I saved a grand total of $101.83 in clipped q's. If you add in all my card savings, I saved $176.63! An awesome day of shopping...just gotta run our and pick up out milk and fresh veggies for the week.
