This was Day Two. I did three trips, tripling the GM deal (get $15 for every $30 spent in pre-sale prices) so that's three $90 orders. Each order I'd get back $45 in coupons. All the items were sale priced and I further lowered the total amount with other coupons so I'd end up nearly breaking even. What you see here... 2 - Hellman's Mayonnaise 4 - Honey Nut Cheerios 5 - Kix 6 - Betty Crocker brownie mixes 2 - Betty Crocker cake mixes 2 - Betty Crocker frosting 8 - Betty Crocker cookie mixes 10 - Betty Crocker Warm Delight Minis 6 - Macaroni Grill dinner kits 7 - Wanchai Ferry dinner kits 10 - YoPlus+ Yogurt, 4pk 14 - Knorr Pasta & Italian Sides 1 - Reduced bread item Missing from this picture... 10 - Breyer's 1/2 gallon cartons 4 - Klondike bars 6ct Total number of items: 91 Total before coupons and sale prices: $290.16 Total paid after coupons and sale prices: $10.22 Average cost per item: $0.11 I also have $50 in coupons left over for tonight if I decide to make one last run. I managed to profit by $5 somewhere along the line. I'm sure you're asking - what the hell? Why buy all this stuff? Well, because in most cases I'm just shifting around the same $45 in coupons so I'm getting all of this food for free. Sometimes I even make a small profit. Admittedly we don't eat a lot of the brownie mixes and sweet stuff like that, but I've been saving those for D&D night or school functions, bake sales and the like and they come in very handy. All the dry goods can just be stored and are good up to a year. If there's something we really won't use I'll give it to a friend or donate it to a food pantry. Plus - Box Tops! I always look for packages with bonus Box Tops for kidlet's school.
