I always try to watch at the register to make sure all the coupons get scanned and then double check my receipt when I get home. Apparently, we missed two coupons – a 75 cent coupon and a 40 cent coupon so I missed out on $1.80, but I was still really happy with my trip. We were in desperate need of some snacks in the house and my oldest son will be so excited to see Pop Tarts!
My out of pocket total was $28.04, and I saved $63.32 – 69% savings!
I was really happy with all that I got this week. My grand total was $54.40 out of pocket with a savings of $148.61 (or 73%)!
