A few goodies I got for just $3.47

(see some of my previous shopping adventures below)

See the actual breakdown with all coupons used below!

We attacked the tea before I had time to take the photo.

I took a break from shopping for two weeks because I had my little granddaughter here. She lives in Mississippi and I had to fly there and fly back with her then do it all again to return her.  The total trip cost just under $1,000 for the flights and airport parking... and I paid for it with the money I saved from couponing!!!  Now I'm saving up to hopefully do it all again in October.

This is my little Skylar!!! She's almost 3.

Okay, back to coponing!!!  I'm taking advantage of the great deals at Shaw's this week, including the coupon that will double a $1.00 off coupon. Here's how I got the stuff above for just $3.47.  My most exciting moment is when I noticed the Cascadian Farm cereal while walking around (never heard of it before) and saw that one flavor was reduced to 50% off! They only had three boxes and I grabbed them because I also had nice coupons to go along with them.

4 boxes Cookie Crisp cereal
Reg price $4.29, on sale for $2, used (4) $.75/1 coupon which doubled
Final price $.50 per box!

3 boxes Cascadian Farm granola cereal
Reg price $4.39, reduced to 50% off, used (3) $.85/1 coupon which doubled
Final price $.49 per box!

1 gallon Swiss Tea
Reg price $2.99, on sale for $2, used (1) $1/1 coupon from Shaw's facebook and the (1) Shaw's dollar doubler coupon
Final price FREE... and it's quite tasty :O)

6 bottle Hunts Ketchup
Reg price $1.73, on sale for $.99, used (3) $1/2 from All You mag and (3) Shaw's dollar doubler coupons
Final price, all 6 bottles were FREE!

1 Yoplait Yogurt
Reg price $.69, used a coupon I got in the mail for a free Yoplait Yogurt
Final price FREE!
 

All this stuff would have cost $44.39 at regular price. By matching coupons to sale prices and using my Shaw's card I only paid $3.47 for everything!  It's certainly not my best trip, but it was the first time I spotted a good deal all on my own (that granola cereal) so I was tickled pink!!!

Total Price:  $44.39

I paid:  $3.47
