Got my Gas Card!

ShopRite - got my $25 gas card! It really wasn't that hard to do. I had a list of items I wanted to get, I wandered around, threw them in my cart and left. I was expecting some issues with items not counting properly, not getting to the total I wanted, etc. But for a change, it was smooth sailing.

• 8 Crystal Lites $1.99 each, used four $1 off 2 tearpad coupons
• 10 Yoplait Yogurts $7.10, used $0.40 off 6 coupon (6/12 SS) *These are 10 for $6 but apparently, not all varieties were on sale. The pink bottles rang up $0.75 each
• Country Time Lemonade $1.99
• 2 Pillsbury Grands Biscuits $2.49 each
• 2 Hellmann's Mayo $4.79 each, used two $0.40 coupons (recent RP? can't figure out which insert this was from) and got back $2 catalina (total bonus, wasn't expecting this)
• 4 Breakstone Sour Creams $1.79 each
• 2 Temptee Cream Cheeses $3.79 each
• 2 Oscar Mayer Turkey Dogs $3.19 each, used $1 off 2 coupon (6/19 SS)
• 2 Klondike Bars $1.77 each
• Used $5/$50 coupon, total was $59.84

Everything I bought counted towards the gas promo. Coupons don't affect the total towards the deal, but any amount that is doubled from a coupon deducts your total. I'm pretty sure the store coupon ($5/$50) also lessens your total. So for the Hellmann's, the item was $4.79. I used a $0.40 coupon, which doubled to $0.80 off. So I paid $3.99 and $4.39 counted towards the promo. Does that make sense? I think I confused myself trying to explain it!

I'll also use these purchases towards a $25 Amstel NBPR rebate on $100 of groceries.
