Acme, Round Two

Went for the $90 mark today...
  • 9 Kleenex tissues 110 count $0.99 each (shelf price $1.59), used three $0.50 off 3 coupons (9/13, 10/4 or 11/1 SS) = $5.91
  • 8 Scott Mega Single Roll paper towels $0.99 each (shelf price $1.99), used two $1 off $4 coupons (11/1 SS) = $5.92
  • 6 Cheerios $1.88 each (shelf price $3.79), used three $1 off 2 coupons (11/1 or 11/8 SS) = $8.28
  • Betty Crocker cookie mix $1.69 (shelf price $2.49), used $0.40 coupon (10/25 SS) = $0.89
  • 2 Chex Mixes $1.69 each (shelf price $3.39), used $0.50 off 2 coupon (10/4 SS) = $2.38
  • Bugles $1.69 (shelf price $3.39)
  • 9 Ragu sauces $1.99 each (shelf price $2.99) = $17.91
  • Gold Medal flour $1.79, used $0.50 coupon (printable, no longer available) = $0.79
  • 2 Betty Crocker potatoes $1.69 each (shelf price $1.99), used two $0.25 coupons (10/4 SS) = $2.38
  • 4 Green Giant cans of corn $0.69 each (shelf price $1.39) = $2.76
  • Used four $10 cats from previous order, total was $8.91, got back $45 in cats (all $5 ones), overall cost for all this - $3.91 - not too shabby, huh?

I checked out at Self Checkout and didn't scan my Acme card until the end, so I could see what my subtotal was. I had to grab three Ragu's and one more Green Giant to get up to $90. Luckily, the store had an endcap with the promo items right next to where I was. Now that I'm calculating everything, my subtotal was $105.37. I think the culprit was the Chex Mix and Bugles. I'm pretty sure they rang up as $1.99, not their shelf price of $3.39, so they're probably on Knockdown (month-long sale price that comes up automatically). Sneaky little chex.

Second Order (went out to the car, dropped off all this stuff and then went back inside)

  • Milk $2.39
  • 2 Mama Lucia meatballs $10.49 each, BOGO sale = $10.49
  • 2 Cooking sprays $2.50 each
  • Used three $5 cats, total was $2.88

Walgreens

  • 4 Walgreens cream cheeses $0.89 each with in-circular coupon = $3.56
  • Walgreens string cheese $0.59
  • 2 Triscuits and 1 Wheat Thins - three for $10, used $1 off 2 coupon (DBF's mom gave this to me, I think it was from a calendar) and got back $3 RR (WYB $10 worth, monthly deal) = $6 or $2 each
  • Oreos $1.99
  • Used $5 RR and $10 RR, total was $0.14

Once I've bought ten boxes of crackers, I'll send away for this $10 rebate.

You're right...the Chex Mix IS on knockdown, as is the cake mix, frosting & ragu.

slugmama,
Oh, the Ragu is on knockdown too? That probably was why I was so off. I bought a bunch of those. How confusing.

yeah, it really is. HCW has been trying to keep track of whats knockdown and whats not, but i've been looking at the other blogs that have been doing the deals to see what they found on knockdown. Also, some are saying that the scott towels are actually 2.09, not 1.99 shelf price, so that gives us another .10 cents.

Came back to let you know that the flour counted as 3.49 at my store! whoo hoo! In case you wanted to do the deal again, you can count that in at a higher price :o)
