I hit the motherload this week, LOL! Even the manager was amazed. She kept saying “oh my gosh look at this” and I would smile and say yeah, then she said “no REALLY – look at this!!!” I did this in two transactions so that I would have the gift card and register rewards for the second transaction. Here it is!
TRANSACTION #1
6 Pillsbury Toaster strudels $10.01, $1.17 each after coupons
– $1/2 manQ
-$1 manQ
-$1 manQ
2 Cheetos, 1 fritos $5.97
Backpack $7.99
5 GM cereals $10, $1.60 each after coupons
-$1/2 manQ
-$1/2 manQ
I got a $10 gift card with the purchase of the cheetos/fritos/backpack and a $5 register reward with the purchase of the cereal & toaster strudels.
Summary: I could have done better. The items I wanted to get (and had coupons for) were out so I had to go with getting more expensive items in order to get my gift card/RR. I somehow ended up with an extra box of cereal too. No big deal though. Overall I spent $30.55 for $36.55 in groceries and $7.99 in household.
