Cub shopping trip yesterday

I finally made it to Cub yesterday. Mom was nice enough to take Noah and I, plus bend and lift all the various things I was getting.

We were able to do ten rounds in just over an hour and a half. I was pretty pleased with that being it usually takes much longer then that with this type of deal. We did a set of 3 transaction, 4 transaction, and then another 3 transactions.

The one thing I was disappointed in was that when my coupons came in the mail yesterday the fruit snack coupons were only good on Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-up Fruit Stackers fruit snacks. I had read the description on the website wrong and thought that they would be good on Betty Crocker Fruit Roll-ups, Fruit Stackers, or Fruit Snacks. Not a huge issue, but a I was looking forward to some Gushers and thought Noah would have had fun picking out different types of fruit snacks.

-$3.50 OYNO
-$3.99 Free Chex Chocolate Mix (Coupon should have been for $2, but register too off $3.99 max value automatically so cashier could not change it.)
Total $4.30

In the end my total OOP was $22.42 and I still have a $10 OYNO coupon left, so my final total for everything is $12.42. The really sad thing is that $4.97 of this is sales tax on the fruit snacks. If it wasn't for that my total would have been $7.45 Either way it was a great deal!

I think that I am going back tonight for some more soup. Other then that I am done.

Just wanted to add that the only other grocerys this week were on Wednesday at Rainbow. Jason stopped for me on his way home and this is what he got

2 gallons milk $1.68
4 Roundy's cheese $.99
2 Chicken of the Sea $.39
5 Nesquick 20oz chocolate milk
Used 5 $.50/1 Nesquick coupons that doubled
After coupon total was $8.10

That means this week we spent $30.52
Total so far this month $81.37
Total left to spend $3.63 + $10 OYNO

I'm thinking that I will be just a bit over this month if I go back for more soup. I'm planning on getting at least 20 cans for a total of $5 after coupons. I'll probably grab one more two pack of milk if the date if far enough out. I have enough milk right now till mid March so they need to have a pretty good date on it for me to grab one.
