The bulk of this trip was canned goods.
Libby brand canned goods were on sale 4 for $3.00 (.75 each).
I had SEVERAL $1.00 off 3 coupons that were certainly put to good use.

Scenario:

Purchased 3 canned goods at .75 each = $2.25
MINUS $1.00 coupon
= $1.25 for 3 cans
Bottom line - .42 each!!

All kinds of deals. Most notably was the dairy offers. Kraft cheese was already on sale for $1.99 (either slices, shredded, or block cheese). I had (4) $5.00 off when you buy 5 Kraft products coupons. That made my purchase even better. Here's the scenario:

5 Kraft products at $1.99 each = $9.95 - $5.00 coupon

= $4.95 for five products (less than $1.00 each)

PLUS.... I had several $1.00 off any two Kraft coupons that I stacked with this awesome deal.

Bottom line --- On average .75 cents per package!

Just more normal, everyday coupons....

Lucky enough to find Oral-B toothbrushes are clearance for $1.79

AND I used $.75 off manufacturer coupons for a greater bargain!

There's a great story here. I went into CVS to get Listerine products that were advertised on sale for $3.99 each and earning $2.00 Extra Bucks , for a "like buying price of $1.99." There was a limit of 2. Of course I had coupons to sweeten the deal. But when I got to CVS, I entered deal karma!

The Cinnamint variety of tListerine was on clearance for $2.99 according to the shelf tag. However, upon price checking the item at the CVS scanner, it came up as $1.24. But wait it gets better, the Cinnamint variety was still part of the Listerine $2.00 Extra Bucks offer.

So, here's what happened:

2 Listerine Total Care 500ml Mouthwash - $1.24 each (Regular Price = $4.99)
2 $1.00 off manufacturer coupons
This made each bottle only .24 cents!
BUT, I also earned Extra Bucks ( a total of $4.00 since I bought 2)

It's Vitamin Time! With a deal this good, I just couldn't pass it up.
And it was worth the hassle when the cashier made up her own policy that I couldn't use more than 5 coupons in one transaction. Luckily, the shift manager was happy to assist and take over the cashier duties (and even congratulated me on savings!).
