Today at Giant, my bill came to $87.39.

minus Bonus Card Savings: 18.21
minus Manuf. coupons: 25.64
minus Doubled coupons: .45
Total Savings: 44.30

When all was said and done I spent $43.32 for 42 items.

I got a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream and a box of Kashi Cereal Bars for FREE with coupons.

Also, 2 bottles of Endust that were marked down to 1.87. I had a coupon for $2, and got them for FREE also.

Last week, I got a rain check for Smuckers Grape Jam which was $10/10. I purchased 3 jars and used a $1/3 coupon and got all three jars for $2.00 - That's .67/each. We eat a lot of PB&J around here, so that was a steal.

I purchased 6 boxes of Life Cereal and 4 bottles of Aunt Jemima syrup which gave me an additional .20 off each gallon of gas I purchase. The cereal was 2/4 and I used 3 $1/2 coupons and the syrup was 2/5 - I used 2 1/2 coupons.

Yoplait yogurt was .60 each. I bought 12 and had 2 coupons for a free cup when you buy 4. I was unable to use my $1/8 coupon with that deal. oh well.

Lean Cuisine meals were 5/10. I bought just one. I had a coupons for $1 off 1, so I got it for a buck.

Nabisco 100 calorie packs are 2/4. I got 2 and had a coupon for $1 off milk when you buy 2. I needed milk anyway, so this was a good deal.

Have you tried the new Truvia sweetener? I gt a sample of it in the mail with a .55/off coupon. I liked it when I tried it, so I went ahead and made the purchase. The 40 packet box was 2.50. My coupon was doubled, so I got it for $1.50.

Over all, a good day. I stuck to my list and came out on top - I always like it when I SAVE more than I SPEND!
