Albies trip this week

Just thought I would let you guys in on my shopping trip this week and let you guys do exactly what I did if you want and if you live in Utah. (Sorry outside of Utah friends- at least you guys have CVS's- that is what I'm sad about not having here.)

O.k. so my trip yesterday I got

• 12 cans of Hunts tomatoes (0.27 each)
  
• 4 bottles of Pam Cooking Spray- olive oil, butter and regular flavors (.50 each)
  
• 1 48 oz bottle of Wesson cooking oil (1.79 each)
  
• 1 bottle of Hunt's ketchup (.85 each)
  

For a grand total of $8.77

Here's what I did

I printed off 2 coupons each of
$1 off Pam cooking spray and
$1 off three Hunt's canned tomato products

Then I went to another computer and printed off two more of each of them. (because you reach a print limit for 2 per computer.)

Then I made sure my total added up to $25 before coupons, so the 4 sprays were $2.50 on sale, the Hunt's Tomatoes $10 for $10, the oil was $2.99, and the Hunt's ketchup was 10 for $10 as well. Bringing my total to $25.99. (If I tried to do it without the ketchup my total would be $24.99- and the $10 off your next purchase wouldn't print because it's not at or above $25 before taxes- this is VERY important and can save you a lot of frustration if you are exact about this.)

*Side Note*-You could also do 3 bottles of ketchup instead of the oil and one bottle of ketchup so your total would then be $25 exactly and you would get a slightly better deal. We just needed oil so I got that instead. (Your ketchup would then be 0.60 each)

So then they scanned in my 8 coupons- bringing my total to $18.77 with tax and then the $10 off my next shopping order printed at the register (also called a catalina). Bringing my total to $8.77

Easy breezy- anyone can do it. We got things we were almost out of at a fantastic price- and this is also building your food storage folks! (Or as Eric and I like to call food storage- a food management system)

Let me know how it goes for you!
