My Coupon Shop for March 11, 2012

I wanted to use the $2.50 mail out coupons from Kellogg's and I had a few free product coupons that were expiring this month, so I took the opportunity to redeem them today while picking up milk. Here's a a breakdown of the 2 stores I shopped at:

Walmart

2 x Kellogg's Mini Wheats Cereal $2.97 - $2.50 mail out coupon = $0.47 ea
2 x Kellogg's Cinnamon Pops Cereal $2.97 - $2.50 mail coupon = $0.47 ea
Natrel Milk 4L $5.97
Peaches $1.85 - $0.75 off any fresh produce coupon = $1.10
Lettuce $0.99 - $0.75 off any fresh produce coupon = $0.24
Sunkist Low Acidity Oranges $3.97 - $0.75 off any fresh produce coupon = $3.22
Kraft Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese $5.97 - FPC = FREE
2 x Pringles Super Stack $1.47 - $1 off WUB 2 coupon from Bounty Packs = $0.97ea
2 x Pilsbury Cookies $2.77 - $2 websaver.ca coupon (no longer available) = $0.77 ea

Total OOP = $16.47
Tax Included in OOP = $0.58
Coupon Savings = $23.22

No Frills

Wonderful Pistachios 1.36kg $9.99 - FPC from Facebook Contest = $1.30 (HST)
2 x Powerade $1.37 - 2 FPCs from last Shoppers Voice survey = $0.36 (HST for both)
Source Yogurt 16 x 100g $4.49 - $0.50 GoCoupons.ca coupon = $3.99
Dare Cookies $2.99 - FPC aquired through a coupon trade = FREE
Dozen Large Eggs $2.29

Total OOP = $7.94
Tax Included in OOP =$1.66
Coupon Savings = $16.22

The oranges were a bit high but it's hard to find low acid, so it's the price a person has to pay. Boy do I ever miss the Natrel Milk coupon that came with the last Shoppers Voice coupon pack. I'd love to see that come back! The hubby wanted a couple of Pringles and they scanned up $0.20 cheaper than advertised, which helps slightly on taxes. The Kraft Mozza Cheddar Shredded Cheese also scanned lower than the advertised price by $1. Since I get most of our meat from the butcher and grow lots of our own vegetables and herbs, I only needed a few items for the week. (Okay, okay...cookies and chips are more of a want than a need.)
