Great Deals!! Love it!

Too bad I didn't have time to take a picture because it was a great shopping trip!  

I got 126 items

Spent $122

Saved $192!!  

Some of the things I got were 4 boxes of surf laundry detergent ($2 each), 7 boxes Kleenex tissue ($.54 each), 8 cases Arrowhead water ($1.74 each), 4 colgate toothpastes ($.24 each), 2 boxes of Finish gelpacs, Lansinoh nursing pads, Kids Mist (AWESOME nasal spray for babies/kids), lots of Hunts canned tomatoes, Dannon yogurts, 32 oz. cheese, Advil ($.50 each), Ritz, Wheat Thins, Triscuits, Goldfish, Orville Popcorn, Philadelphia cream cheese, Reynolds Wrap tinfoil, 4 Ken's Salad dressing  ($.49 each-our new favorite is the Lite Creamy Caesar), 6 boxes of Uncle Ben's rice, foil mini-bread pans, gala apples, bagels, sour cream, Del Monte vegetables, Valentines (cards, candy, and stickers), and so much more--like I said, I wish I had taken a picture.  There are a few things I had to just buy without coupons/sale and those were the nursing pads ($8), the Kids Mist ($11) and Valentines supplies ($6)-so if you take off those items, it's less than $100 for the other items!!  Amazing!

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!
