Three stores

I know, I know. The vast majority of you are sick to death of my couponing adventures. For the two of you who aren't... I had a really good day.

First, I went to Target.

Edy's 1.5 quart ice cream are on sale for $2.50 ea and if you buy 5, you get a $5 gift card.
I had two $1/2 Qs from the Parade magazine, two weeks ago, and a $1/1 Catalina.
Subtotal: $9.65, making these $1.93 ea plus I had a GC to roll into the next transaction.

Maxwell House coffee (33oz?) was on sale for $6.04, and I printed two $1.50/1 store Qs from the Target website. I used the $5 GC immediately on this transaction.
Subtotal: $4.26, making these $2.13 ea. :D

OOP: $13.91; savings: $18.45, or 57%

Next, I went to Kroger.

They're running a 'buy 2 Kellogg's cereals, get a gallon of milk free' promotion.
I bought 4 boxes of Apple Jacks, at $2.50 ea and used two $1/2 printables and a $1/2 eCoupon from the Kroger site.
Subtotal: $7.00, making these $1.75 ea
I got two gallons of milk ... free.
Nabisco's Facebook page offers a coupon once a month; this Monday's was a BOGO when you buy two gallons of milk. So what if I paid $0 for the milk I bought? I grabbed two packs of Oreos.
Subtotal: $2.68, making these $1.34 ea
SoBe Lifewater is on sale for 88c ea, and I had five BOGO printables and a $2/10 eCoupon from Kroger.
Subtotal: $2.40, making these 24 cents each.
Oh, and I grabbed a loaf of sandwich bread for a buck.
OOP: $14.09; savings: $28.92, or 68%.

Finally, I went to Harris Teeter.

Honey Nut Chex is on BOGO at $1.72 ea and I had a 75c Q from 6/6
Subtotal: 22c for one box
12-roll of Scott soft tissue on sale for $5.77 with a $1/1 Q from All You (May)
Subtotal: $4.77, or 40c per roll
Egg noodles, HT brand
Subtotal: $3.38, or $1.69 ea
Garlic, fresh cloves
Subtotal: $1.00, or 50c ea
Strawberries, BOGO
Subtotal: $3.99, or $1.99 ea
Cucumbers
Subtotal: $1.78, or 89c ea
Sweet Vidalia onion
Subtotal: $1.07
Yellow squash
Subtotal: $2.15, or $1.08 ea
Iceberg lettuce
Subtotal: $1.59 ea
Palermo's pizza (ham & pineapple, but all are on sale; BTW, the $1/1 Q from the Palermo site is not working/won't scan)
eVIC special: $2.77 ea
Daisy sour cream (4), on sale for $1.67, and there were 50c Qs in the 6/6 paper
Subtotal: $2.67, or 67c ea
Nesquik 4-pk chocolate milk (2), on sale for $3 ea, and there were $1/4-pk Qs from March
Subtotal: $4, or $2.00 ea (50c per bottle)
Johnsonville chicken sausage, not on sale but used a 55c printable Q
Subtotal: $2.89
OOP: $33.39, savings $27.93, or 44%.

Grand Total Spent: $61.39
Grand Total Saved: $75.30, or 55%
Not bad, considering this includes fresh fruit and veggies for which there were no coupons! :)

Good work! And thanks for the info on the Palermo coupon--I had been planning to use that one. So it wouldn't even input manually? Whenever I've had a non-scanning coupon at HT I'venever had a problem getting them to call a manager over for an override.

The youngish blonde assistant manager is quite proficient with the couponing rules, and she confirmed with the cashier that if it won't scan, they're not supposed to manually input the printables. FWIW, the cashier tried to manually input it before she came over, and --no-- it wouldn't work.
