Okay, let's see how I did, today.
Organic milk (gal.)--normally $5.49 on sale for $4.99
Regular milk (gal.)--normally $3.49 on sale for $1.99
Iceberg lettuce--normally (in summer) .99 on sale for .49
Green grapes--normally (in summer) $1.69 lb for total of $2.64 on sale for .98 lb--$1.52
32 ounce Heinz ketchup--normally $2.39 with .50 coupon $1.89
1 container Pilsburry milk chocolate frosting--normally $1.99 with .40 off coupon $1.49
4 jars Miracle Whip--normally $3.19 per jar, on sale 2 for $3.00 limit 4
2 packages Dannon Danimals drinkable yogurt--normally $3.19 a pack on sale for $2.99 plus $1.00 coupon if you buy 2
Kroger 2 lb cheddar cheese--normally $5.99--on sale for $4.99 with $1.00 coupon was $3.99
20 cans 8 ounce FMV tomatoe sauce--normally .33 each for total of $6.60 on sale for .19 each for total of $3.80
not on sale
2 nectarines @ $2.49 lb was $2.04
Vicks Sinex 12 hour ultra fine mist nasal spray $6.49
Fred Meyer Reward rebate coupon of $3.00 off any purchase
Total regular price: $50.62
Actual price paid: $37.32
Money Saved: $13.30
But I would never buy some of the stuff at the non-sale prices to begin with. The Miracle Whip and Heinz ketchup or the brick cheese for example would be cheaper at Costco in the big bottles or brick but with the sale and the coupons the weren't. So I don't know how true my actual money savings is. My total in non store coupons was $4.40 and with my rebate coupon of $3 I know for sure I saved $7.40 over what I would have normally spent.
So for me True savings was: $7.40. But it was still fun to calculate it all out.
Now if we turn my receipt over we have 1/2 off a second sandwich if you buy a sandwich meal at Port of Subs
$2.00 off any hair cut at Great Clips
$5.00 off two dinner entrees at On Rice Thai Cusine
$18.99 for an oil change and filter at Expert Tire
And a couple other coupons I wouldn't use.
We will for sure use the Great Clips coupon though. Both DH and Tobias need hair cuts and they like Great Clips.
With that coupon, I'd say true savings is $9.40 and if we use the oil change one its about $6 off the regular price around here.
