==========================
Spent $14.74 out of pocket
Saved $85.04
Received $7 back in coupons:
1x $2 off your next order coupon
1x $5 off your next order coupon

So it's like spending $7.74!

Notes about this trip:
My cashier did not allow me to use all 6 Post Trail Mix coupons. She allowed 4 so I ended up paying $1 for 6 boxes of the cereal. If she had allowed the other 2 coupons I would have had $3 overage towards my total. Oh well. You win some, you lose some. $1 for 6 boxes of cereal is still loads better than paying the full price of $26.34! OUCH!

I also could have used an extra 2 Shaws coupons for Vitamin Water (Save $1 when you buy 2) I just did not have them with me. I would have just bought another 2 for free. I could have just bought my 6 Vitamin Waters and used the manufacture's coupons to get them all for free. I then could have used 3 "Save $1 when you buy 2" store coupons and had $3 taken off my order.

Bottom Line:
If I had brought my other 2 coupons and the cashier had allowed the other 2 Post coupons my total would have been $8.74 out of pocket and I would have received $7 back. This is the deal I was looking to do. Things go wrong sometimes, it happens.

Remember: You live, you learn, and then you get Luvs! No, that isn't it...
