What a Dealin' day!!

I was ecstatic with my deals today. I hit 2 grocery stores and spent $37 today.

Acme

Acme has this great deal on General Mills products this week. You buy $20 of General Mills, get $5 oyno(on your next order) AND 50 BTFE(Box Tops for Education). The best part is the deal works off shelf prices versus sales prices. Once thing you have to watch is that items aren't on Knockdown but it is easy to get the hang of that.

I bought:
12 Yoplait
3 Totino's pizza rolls
1 Chex Mix Bars

This brought me to over $20 shelf price, but only 10.50 at sale price.
I used 2 .40/6 coupons for the Yoplait, 1 .50/1 chex bars, 1 .40/2 totino's.

REMEMBER, most coupons up to .99 DOUBLE.


I also purchased:

4 Kelloggs Raisin Bran
1 Fruit Loops - (we usually get healthier cereal only but sometimes splurge)

Kellogg's is 5/$10 this week and when you buy 5 you get $4 oyno
I used 2 1.00/2 coupons I got in special marked boxes last week.

I also got:

2 Post raisin bran
2 lightly frosted shredded wheat

These are 1.49 this week when you buy 4
I used 2 1.00/2 coupons from inside cereal boxes.
I also got $3 oyno from this.

The last thing I got was the new Cheeto mighty zingers because, well, they were on sale for 1.69, I wanted to try them, AND I had a coupon for 1.00/1

Total: 29.15 (sale price)
Coupons: - 8.40(remember they doubled to this)
ACME coupons - 7.00 (I had $5 for another deal last week and $2 for last week's
Kellogg's)
I paid: 13.79

I also received: $5 oyno (for buying General Mills)
$4 oyno (for buying Kellogg's)
$3 oyno (for buying Post cereal)

Now, I know it doesn't necessarily look like a well rounded grocery shop but I purchased meat on sale several weeks ago and froze it, and bought my fresh vegetables at a big ethnic fruit/vegetable/ethnic food market-$20 for 2 weeks. I also bought my free range eggs for 1.70 a dozen at the place I stocked up on flour and sugar (If you read this Lauren, I will be buying eggs from you in a few weeks.)
I also had some coupons for FREE milk the other week that I used and got milk with a long shelf life. The best part about coupon-ing is you stock up when the sales and coupons match for the BEST deal, then you don't need to pay whatever the "desperation price" is so much.
