• 11 cans Manwich sauce (we will keep two, the rest are for the neighbors!) @$1.39
  
• 7 boxes Ronzoni pasta @$1.25 (normally $1.99 – which will count for the $25 minimum price)    
  

We get $5 off instantly with the Megga Sale (Manwich), I will use 7 $1/1 on the pasta (5 will doubled) and $6 in Walgreen's RR (they don't say "ONLY at Walgreen's" on them).

Cost: $.79 and I will get $5 back with the ConAgra deal (Manwich) – I am double dipping on the promotions!

Transaction 2:

Cost: $9.ish and I will get back $5.25 in milk and egg vouchers

Grand total: $150ish for 21.ish OOP and I will have gotten back $12, saving 94%.

$9 is not bad for 69 items!

(I say "ish" as it depends on the actual chicken prices)

**You can see a lot of things marked as donation items… they will go to my church's food pantry: pasta, cereal and the shaving foam. The rest is for us!
I COULD get more chicken, but we really don't need it – those two packages are just to bump up the transactions to hit that $25 minimums as the $9 that comes off counts against you, so you really need $34+ in the total. (So when they take the $9 off, you are still over $25 and can double your coupons).

I will also get about 20 Monopoly game pieces – with the specially marked items and a few "winner" pieces that I am turning in on transaction #1

=)

What are you going to get at the stores this week?
