Love those "double" coupon days at Smiths!!

Total Spent:  $136.45
Bought:  156 items
Saved:  $253.40 

So what's in the pictures--yikes. I am not sure I can list it all--but I will give it a try:
14 boxes cold cereal (and yes, we go through cereal fast--though the "Trix" will be saved for Christmas)
9 boxes Kleenex Tissue ($.66 each)
1 jumbo pack Pampers Swaddlers diapers (my very favorite kind--keeps the poop from sticking to the kid)
4 packs Huggies wet-wipes
6 packages of Reynolds baking cups
2 packages Q-Tips
6 boxes Krusteaz cookie mix (FREE)
9 packages BC cookie mix ($.40 each) perfect for Christmas gifts
5 C&H brown sugars (and I am picky with my brown sugar--the off-brands aren't real brown sugar; they are molasses and regular granulated sugar)
8 Chapsticks 
12 gravy mixes ($.29 each)
2 containers of tic-tacs (FREE)
2 Bestlife buttery spread
1 Country Crock Spread
2 Parkay Spreads ($.50)
4 Carnation evaporated milk ($.19 each)
4 Bumblebee Albacore tuna pouches (FREE)
2 Reddi-Whips (whip cream)
6 Pillsbury biscuit ($.50 each)
4 Pillsbury Sweet Rolls (FREE)
8 Pillsbury crescent rolls ($.50 each) making doughnuts on New Years Eve with these!
2 Bisquick mixes
2 Frenchs French Fried Onions
2 Minute Rices 
4 Mrs. Fields Cookies (contains 8 individually wrapped cookies in each container--perfect for my kids friends for Christmas!)
2 Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa/Marshmallow packages (to go with the cookies for the friends for Christmas)
3 Tabasco Sauces
2 Thai Kitchen Coconut milk
4 Banquet Fruit pies (FREE)
2 Shaving gels
8 Pam Cooking Sprays (4 olive oil and 4 baking--$1 each)
5 Wesson Oils
2 Worcestershire Sauces
2 boxes Idahoan instant potatoes
2 McCormick Seasonings: Chili Powder & Cream of Tarter

They  were out of a few of the things I was hoping to get--Carmex lip balm (free), Martha White's muffin mix (free), Maruchan Yakisoba Meals (free), and Hormel Pepperoni (free).  Since those were all items that were free and I procrastinated my shopping, I am not surprised that I didn't get those items.  But I did get almost everything I wanted overall!  It was crazy gathering up all the coupons, but this doesn't happen very often, so I didn't mind--and after all that I got, I am quite pleased!  I got my all-time longest receipt too!
