Monday Coupons and Savings!

Today I think was not a bad day! I hit several different stores, and got lots of deals and rebates coming my way!

Staples:
Backpack 39.99 -$10 coupon =29.99 I will get 29.99 back in Staples rewards!
Electric Pencil Sharpener 10.00, will get $10 rebate making it FREE!
Pack of Mechanical pencils 2.99, will get $2.99 rebate making it FREE!
PAck of Highlighters 4.99, $4.99 rebate =FREE!
Pack of Gel pens 4.99, $4.99 rebate =FREE

So basically for tax only I got about $63 worth of stuff for basically free!

Then on to Kroger:

Here's a picture of my items:

I got:
4 bags Quaker rice cakes .99 each on sale (no coupons)
5 2 liter bottles of coke .99 each on sale (no coupons)
a 3.5lb bag of cat food 3.99 on sale ($1 coupon)
2 cookie icing squeeze pouches .82 on clearance (no coupons)
1 bag of chex mix 1.99 on sale (50 cent coupon doubled to $1)
1 bag of Cheerios snack mix 1.99 on sale (50 cent coupon doubled to $1)
1 box of All Bran cereal 2.49 on sale ($2 coupon)
2 boxes of Kellog's Cereal bars ($1 off 2 boxes coupon)
1 Bottle of Kraft Ranch dressing 1.69 on sale ($1 coupon)
2 (4) packs of AA Duracell Batteries $3 each on sale (75 centsx 2 coupons)
1 tube of Colgate Total Toothpaste 2.50 on sale ($1 coupon)
1 Tube of Aquafresh Toothpaste 2.50 on sale (75 cent coupon)

So as you can see all my items were on sale, and I used coupons for most. BUT in addition, Kroger had a promotion where if you buy 10 of certain items, you get an immediate $5 off at the register. So you guessed it, I bought 20 and got $10 off.
My total bill for all this was $20.13. My Kroger plus card savings was 19.34, coupons were 20.25. Not too shabby.... $60 worth for $20.

Then on to Target.
Bought 10 bottles of SoBe water for $1 each. Got a $5 Target GC. Cashed out that purchase for $10.
Next purchase...
Always infinity pads 3.99 onm sale ($4 coupon)
6 Kashi individual cereal bowls $1 each on sale (had 6 $1 coupons)
Alexia snacks 2 for $5 on sale (used a 75 cent off 2 Target coupon and 2 $1 off one coupons)
So I knew I was paying with the GC, and wanted to spend the whole $5. I bought then 2 packs of notebook paper for 50 cents each, and 2 (4) packs of spiral notebooks for 60 cents each.
Total bill as 4.95 after coupons, I paid with the GC< and have 5 cents to spare!

WTG Linda! Using coupons on stuff already on sale and only buying stuff you know your family will use is the way to go!
