I haven't added up crt's but my best deal was getting 98 2-lb bags of White Lily flour free after the q's were tripled. I stumbled upon the q's in a Bruno's. I was about halfway through my last bag of stockpiled flour, too, so it was perfect timing.

I got 12 to 15 boxes of butter for .35 each and at least 30 bags of shredded cheese for .35 each. I didn't count the cheese because we were so busy trying to make room in one of the two freezers for everything. I probably got closer to 50 of them but they are all now frozen now how ever many there are.

I had a lot of the .55/2 Martha White muffin q's so I stockpiled those. I also got 12 of the Reynold's cupcake liners (to use with the muffin mixes). I got 6 big bags of Dorito's for .34 each and I will go back Tuesday and get 6 more for the inlaws. The exp date is June something but they don't stand a chance of lasting anywhere near that long in this house.

I think I ended up with 20 of the small Bisquick Shake and Pour pancake things. I've never used them but I had .50/1 q's so they were .09 each and I couldn't pass that up.

I found tags on some Kikkoman teriyaki sauce that made it either free or .09...can't remember for sure on that one. I also found a good deal on Kikkoman soy sauce with some tags at one store.

I had some insert q's that I used and got things like Mentos, crescent rolls and quite a few Ziplock and Hefty freezer bags at real good prices. My best deals were with coupons that I found in the stores and didn't have with me until I found them today. I was surprised by that.

Also, I noticed today that customer service at each of the 5 stores that I went to was exceptional. I was afraid that employees would be upset, angry or whatever but every single encounter I had today was the most pleasant I've had in FW or Bruno's in a long time.

I went straight to FW when I saw they were triples but I just didn't see anything that was worth it.....:sad:

If you don't mind me asking, which cheese did you get for .35 a bag? I was just looking through my binder for a good deal.

[thickbluebug]

Wow on the flour. I need flour! Will have to hunt the coupons.
Wow on the doritos.
Wow on everything.
I was just happy to find 3 blinkies for martha white muffin mix hidden behind the warm delights. I got pound cake muffin mix for the summer parties. Never saw it before.

China, are more than 10 like coupons triple ....ing? Which butter is it for .35?

Not trying to hijack, but just a quick question-is overage counting on these purchases? Just trying to plan for tomorrow morning when I'm out. TIA!:smile77:

I did not get overage. The cash register was set up to only give it to you free. For example on the French's Mustard it rang up as 1.39. Then it said - 50 scanned coupon and then - .89 extra coupon savings.

[thickbluebug]

yep rdot is correct,
my crt from 8 pm has no overage. My crt from lunch does. HMMMM, someone fixed something

Beep alert on the warm delights. My q's were the .50/1 . All my coupons beeped both trips.

Thanks-I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll have some brags to post tomorrow.

Well, my store's registers were NOT set up to avoid overage, so a manager stood there and checked every single coupon to make sure I didn't get overage. I broke my stuff up into 3 separate transactions so I could use all 26 of my Nesquick and Bounty coupons.

Here's my results-

6 Warm Delights
26 Bounty Basic (these WERE on sale after all!!)
4 Pillsbury Pizza Crusts (not a steal but pretty good with the $.40/1 triple)
8 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
13 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls--managers went crazy about the overage but we resolved it by them charging me $1.05 for each package instead of $1
26 Nesquick Milks (I've been WAITING on this deal and the coupons expired 3/31 so it wasn't a moment too soon!)
2 gallons of Southern Home milk for the baby
4 1-pound packages of Southern Home spaghetti
4 bags Armour meatballs (2 regular, 2 Italian)
4 bags Cheerios snack mix
2 bags Chex mix
5 Franks Red Hot sauce
4 small Coffeemate Creamer powder
1 Duncan Hines Cake Mix (for an Easter Bunny Cake)
1 Swiffer cloths refill (would have gotten more but forgot my other coupons)
7+ pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast (this was $13 of my total)

I paid $66.42, saved $162.69.

I asked the cashier if lots of couponers had been in today, and she said no. She said maybe one or two people had come in with a couple of coupons but that was it. There were still PLENTY of all the good sales left at my store.

I hope they do this again--my coupon holder is getting too full and needs a good clearing out!
