Cereal, Diapers...And More Cereal

So the sale at Dom's on cereal was just too good and I had to go back for more (remember they have the Buy 4 Save $4 sale running concurrent with the Deal Match pricing and J4U Personalized prices).  We eat a lot of cereal in our house and cereal usually has anywhere from 9 months to a year until it reaches its expiration date...so they are perfect for stockpiling.  Anytime I can stock up for around $0.50 or less per box, I will buy as many as I can.  Here is Monday's trip back to Dom's, complete with another freebie from my J4U q's I loaded onto my frequent shopper card.  I spent a total of $6.25 OOP:

• 8 boxes Cinnamon Toast Crunch $ 8.56.  Used 6 printables .50/1 and 1 printable $1/2 = $4.56
• 1 package 200 ct. Safeway Napkins $2.99.  Used J4U q = FREE
• 1-4 pack Dannon Light & Fit $1.49 (with in-ad coupon).  Used $1/1 printable = $0.49
• 1 Pillsbury Sweet Moments Brownies $1.99 (with in-ad q).  Used $1/1 q = $0.99

I saved a total of $31.57 in q's and in-store promos for a total savings of 84%.  Next stop was Meijer for a few odds and ends.  As per usual, I had to do more than one transaction at Meijer to use all of my q's and mPerks.  Here is what I picked up for a total of $27.95:

Transaction #1:

• 4 Degree Men's Deodorant $9.68.  Used 4 $1/1 q's = $5.68.  Got back a $4 OYNO cat for an end cost of only $1.68...or $0.42 per stick.
• 1 package Huggies Slip-On Diapers $8.97.  Used mPerks q $2/1 and manufacturer q $3/1 = $3.97

Transaction #2:

• 1 package Huggies Slip-On Diapers $8.97.  Used mPerks q $2/1 and manufacturer q $3/1 = $3.97
• 4-6 packs Mott's Applesauce $7.96.  Used 2 store printables $1/2 and 2 $2/2 q's from the MDA booklet at Dom's = $1.96
• 1 Dole Coleslaw $1.50
• 10 lb bag potatoes $3.99
• 3 Meijer Butter Braid Pretzels $2.97
• 2 Meijer Cheese Puffs $1.98
• 1 Meijer Hamburger Buns $1.00
• 1 Marzetti Slaw Dressing $3.67.  Used $1/1 q from All You Magazine = $2.67

I also used the $4 OYNO cat from the previous purchase.  I saved a total of $30.71 in store promos and q's for a little over a 50% savings...not as impressive as all of my previous trips over the past two days, but still noteworthy.  

I am trying to restrain myself from going back for one more round of cheap cereal...we'll see if I can hold out:)
