Shopping Queen

I am the Shopping Queen,
Buying things that are almost free.
Shopping Queen,
Hear the beep from the cash machine....
Oh yeah!
(sorry, I still have Mamma Mia fever)

I'm slowly becoming a "real" house wife. My old boss used to LOVE finding a deal and I always laughed at her when she would give me a coupon to buy something. She told me to wait because one day I would like it too...and that day has come. I bought the following items today:



Albertson's Pricing

(2) Macaroni Grill meals: $5.49 ea
(3) Hamburger Helper singles: $1.50 ea
(1) Ken's Light Accents Spray Salad Dressing: $3.69
(2) Hunt's Snack Packs: $1.99 ea
(1) Juicy Juice Box 8 pack: $3.99
(2) Barilla pastas: $1.99 ea

Total actual retail price: $31.12
Amount paid by Cammi? (drum roll please) $ 6.40!

How did I do it?

Macaroni Grill: Meals on sale for $4 ($2 ea) - $1 coupon from Sunday paper - $1.10 coupon online = $1.90 ($.95 ea!)

Hamburger Helper: Meals on sale for $1.50 ($.50 ea) - $1.10 coupon online = $.40 ($.13 ea!)

Ken's: Dressing on sale for $1 - $2 coupon from Sunday paper = +$1! (They paid me $1 to buy it!)

Hunt's: Snack packs on sale for $2 ($1 ea) - $.40 coupon from Sunday paper = $1.60 ($.80 ea)

Juicy Juice: Boxes on sale for $2.50 - $1 coupon from Sunday paper = $1.50

Barilla: Pasta on sale for $3 ($1.50 ea) - $1 coupon from Sunday paper = $2 ($1 ea)

Note: The sale prices I received are contingent on purchasing 10 participating items in the same transaction, which I did, but I didn't want to list EVERYTHING I bought. These were just the best deals of the bunch. For my total purchase, I spent $47.48, but I saved $40.97 in coupons and sale savings! I also know this isn't the best pricing on pasta, but Barilla is my favorite brand! So I was happy :)
