My first Smith's Shopping adventure!

WOW!

I am feeling the Coupon HIGH!!

I just got done tallying my Smith's Bill and was so excited to see my savings!  Smith's is having their 10's deal where if you buy 10 of the featured item you get an automatic $5 off your bill.

And they had some great items on this "10's deal"!!

I bought 60 items and spent $81.76.

 

I went there for 5 specific items that qualified on their purchases:
Capri Sun
Nabisco Crackers
Fiber One bars
Hormel Chili
Kraft Cheese

Now I did stray slightly - but I had a coupon for all other items.  Here is the breakdown  - not including the extra items -

Fiber1 $2.49 x10 = $24.90
Nabisco $2.49 x10 = $24.90
Hormel Chili $1.29 x10 = $12.90
Kraft Cheese $1.99 x10 = $19.90
Capri Sun $1.99 x10 = $19.90
---------------------------------
$101.90
-$25 (met 10's deal, got $5 off x 5)
----------------
$76.90

This is still a great deal - but I had some coupons to add!!
$1 off Kraft
4/$1 off Nabisco
2/$2 off 2 Box Ritz
4/$.50 off Hormel Chili
2/$.55 off 2 cans Hormel Chili
2/$1 off Capri Sun
1/$.40 off Fiber1
2/$.75 off Fiber1
---------------
$16.00

FINAL TOTAL OUT OF POCKET: $60.90 !!!

This totaled 50 items and $60.90 spent out of pocket = $1.21 per item!!  

That's amazing to me!!

I felt my first coupon cringe this evening at the store as well - my daughter wanted some frosted mini wheat's and I only had 1 coupon!  I ended up buying them, but I cringed at spending $3.31 a box!  (See you are cringing while you read this ...huh?) LOL

So had an AMAZING night - as you can see from my picture my stock pile is growing!!
