Somewhat Successful Shopping

The plan was to go to Safeway to do the cereal deal (buy 5 save $5) and then Shoppers to get eggs and the Frosted Mini Wheats that are on sale through today. Well, I managed to get stuff I wanted at Safeway but I had to get a rain check at Shoppers. Ah well, they will still honor the $3 off coupon and my coupons don't expire till July so I should be fine. And of course I went to Giant yesterday for the $5 off $15 fresh meat sale, though I had to get help from the cashier. Either way, here's the bounty that I've picked up the last 2 days.

Giant:

$7.43 several pounds of boneless chicken breast (post sale price - scanned coupon prior to bonus card)
$1.99 loaf of wheat bread
$2.39 gallon skim milk
$3.00 6 bottles of Sobe (on sale for buy 1 get 1 free so $.50 each)
$4.29 Sabra hummus
$0.00 Sabra hummus (on buy 1 get 1 free)

- $5.00
= $14.29 OOP
Total savings? $22.66

Then Safeway:
$2.49 Kashi crackers
$9.95 5 boxes of Pop Tarts
$5.98 2 boxes of Special K chocolate
$2.49 Cocoa Krispies
$2.79 Special K Bliss bars
$6.99 Quilted Northern 12 pack ($5.99 after super coupon)

- $5/5
- $5/5
- $1/2 Pop Tarts
- $2/2 special k cereal and bliss bars
- $1/1 Cocoa Krispies
- $1/1 Special K
- $1/1 Kashi crackers

= $14.05 OOP
total savings $25.16 or 65%!

And then very little at Shoppers (other than my raincheck)

$1.60 2 powerades
$2.19 18 ct large eggs

- $1.50/2 powerade ($.75 that doubled final cost 5 cents each!)
= $2.35 OOP

It is super hot outside so hopefully these will be the last shopping trips for a little bit.
