Copps Run Today...Spent $38.95 and Got $36 back!

First things first - I was SHOCKED at how much cereal had jumped since the last time I really looked at it! I will update the master General Mills list on Monday, when I go in for my store credit...example? The Cinnamon Burst Cheerios that was $2.89 a box in February is now $4.19!!!!!!! OUCH!

Next - the voucher are printing up $.75 short of what the ad states ($3.50 and $2.50 = $6) as we got a $5.25 total. I put out a separate post about that - make sure you get your store credit!

OK - Here is what I did today, a little higher than I planned as the cereal was nutso high, but still pretty close to my original plan!
