Tom Thumb Trip 2/27

While I was out going to CVS I decided to swing my Tom Thumb as well.  I usually see the ad when it comes out on Wednesday and am not very impressed with it, but every Sunday it seems that a second small ad comes out in the paper with some great in-ad coupons that are pretty hard to resist.  They were also having a Buy 3 Save $6 on coffee/tea products that I wanted to check out because I was able to score some great deals with that sale last time they did it.

Here is what I came home with:

Total Shelf Price:  $36.62
Total Sale Price:   $21.57
Price After $6 Beverage Savings:  $15.57
Price Paid After Coupons:  $8.87   76% Savings

-The Lipton Tea was just $0.99 after the $6 savings ($2.99-$2 off each item).  I used 3 $0.60/1 from the 1/30 SS (expire today!) made them just $0.39 each!
-The Skippy was on in-ad coupon for $1.49 (limit 8).  I used the $0.50/1 coupon from 1/30 SS (doubled), made it only $0.49!  *note: Tom Thumb will only double one like coupon, all others are redeemed at face value.*
-The Ken's was on in-ad coupon for $1.19.  I used a $1/1 coupon from the 1/9 SS making it just $0.19.
-The Quaker Oatmeal was on in-ad coupon for $1.77 each.  I used 2 $1/1 from 1/2 (do not recall if from SS or RP), made them just $0.77 each.
-I got the Ragu because I had one remaining $0.30/1 from the 1/30 SS that tripled.
-I got the strawberries to assure that I had over the minimum $10 limit to use the in-ad coupons.  They were on sale for $3.99 BOGO FREE, so that worked out to $2 each.  Not a bad price.

I'm very tempted to go out to Kroger tonight with a bunch of coupons that expire today, but I'm pretty tired, so I will most likely not.  Would you make an extra trip if you had coupons expiring?
