Tom Thumb Trip 3/7

My parents are visiting this week.  You may not hear much from me because I am taking advantage of the extra help and tackling some projects I've been meaning to do around here.  I did sneak out this afternoon and make a quick trip to Tom Thumb, and also the 99 Cents Only store, but that was mostly to purchase cheap drain cleaner since my 4 year old thought it would be fun to stuff TP down the bathroom sink....

Anyways, I did not get my Tom Thumb ad in the paper this week, so I had glanced at it online and found a great deal on cereal that I wanted to take advantage of, and also one for fruit snacks.  I grabbed an ad on my way in, and found a page of in-ad coupons that did not show up online.  One was for Dannon kids yogurt for $1.77.  We were out and I had been promising my daughter some.  I just happened to have my coupons for that with me, so I was very happy about that.  I also picked up a few pouches of tuna (the cans were on sale for $0.88, which would have been a better deal, but the shelf was empty and the pouches were on sale for $1).

Here is what I came home with today:

Total Shelf Cost:  $35.08
Total Sale Price:  $16.46
Price Paid After Coupons:  $5.46

The cereal were each $1.49 when you bought 4.  I used 3 $1/1 Quaker Oatmeals Squares from the 1/30 RP making them just $0.49 each.  I also used a $0.75/1 Cinnamon Cheerios printable (also in the 2/13 GM insert) making it just $0.74.

The Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks were just $0.99 each when you bought 4.  I was happy to find that the "Simply" version was included in this sale.  They are made from over 90% real fruit and fruit juices!  Quite tasty, too. ;)  I used 2 $1/2 coupons that I had clipped from the backs of previously bought boxes, which made them just $0.49 each.  There are $0.50/2 printables many places online (coupons.com, target.com, bettycrocker.com) and also in the 2/13 GM.  If you do it this way, one will double and one will not.  It will work out to be $0.62 per box.  I thought that there was supposed to be a Catalina deal on these, but one did not print after my purchase, so I am thinking it must have ended yesterday.  =(

The Danimals was $1.77 with in-ad coupon (must have a $10 minimum purchase before coupons).  I used 2 $1/1 coupons from the 2/27 SS.  That made them just $0.77 each.

The tuna was $1 each.  I used the $1.50/3 from the 3/6 RP.  That made them $0.50 each.

Tomorrow is the last day for this sale, so if you want to get in on it, hurry!
