My Dillons "plan" this week (1/21 to 1/27)

I thought I'd share my "plan" for shopping at Dillons this week. They are having a Buy 10, Save $5 off your transaction sale on certain items, so I'm going to do that along w/ coupons. Here is my plan:

5 Green Giant Steamers ($1.50) 4- 50/1 cpns (doubled to 1) scuts 50/1
4 Kleenexes (60-200 ct) ( 1.59) 4- cpns 40/1 (doubled to 80 cents)
1 Fiber One Granola chewy bars ($2.59) $1/1 cpn, plus Cellfire 50/1

Total= $16.45 - $5 (for buying 10 mix'n match items) - $9.20 (coupons) = $2.25 (TOTAL)

2 Kraft Singles (16 slices) ($1.99) 1 cpn 75/2 (doubled to 1)
2 Kraft Mayo 24 oz ($2.99) 2 cpns 75/1 (doubled to 1)
2 Cheetos ($2.50) cpn $1.25/2
2 Chex Mix ($2.19) 2 cpns 50/1 (doubled to 1), scuts 60 cents/1, cellfire 60 cents/1
2 Pace Picante Sauce ($2) cpn 50/2(doubled to 1)

Total =$23.34 -$5 (for buying 10 mix 'n match items) - $9.45 (coupons) = $8.89

2 Totinos Pizza Rolls ($3.49) 2 cpns $1/1
2 Totinos Pizza rolls ($3.49) 2 cpns $1/2 plus cellfire 50 cents/1
1 Nature Valley Granola Bars ($2.59) cpn $1/1
5 Captain Crunch Cereal ($2.59) 5 cpns 50/1 (doubled to $1)

Total= $29.50 - $5 (for buying 10 mix 'n match items) - $9.50 (coupons) = $15

You can do 3 "rewards" of the $5 per transaction so I can do all this in one, and my total is going to be $26.14 plus tax
That's quite a bit out of pocket, but it's not bad considering if I didn't have my coupons, it would be $54.29 (I didn't even include the $5 that the store takes off, just my paper coupons)
So see, that's a total savings of $28.15 for using paper coupons
IT PAYS TO CLIP COUPONS!! ;)
