Albertsons Trip 02April2009

Still using the cheap Post cereal event to my favor to "earn" money, I went back for 5 more boxes of cereal...



What I got:
(2) Boxes of Post Trail Mix Crunch (vanilla almond flavor)
(3) Boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats (strawberry, peach, and chocolate flavors)



Coupons I had:
(2) $2.00 off ONE box of Post Trail Mix Crunch, any flavor.
(1) $1.50 off TWO boxes Post Honey Bunches of Oats, any flavor (Albertsons in-store coupon)



Because I bought 5 boxes, only 4 qualified to become $1.57 each, so the total overall before coupons was $8.35. (four boxes @ $1.57 PLUS one box @ $2.07)
My total out-of-pocket cost that I swiped my debit card for was $2.85. My total savings percentage is a little over 88%.
I "earned" a $5.00 coupon off my next purchase.



So, overall in the last two transactions, for 10 boxes of Post cereal, I have spent OUT OF POCKET, a total of $3.20!!! That's about the same price as ONE box!
In return, I now have $10.00 worth of coupons to spend for ANYTHING in the store that I may want, as well as a coupon for $1.50 off my next two boxes of Post Trail Mix Crunch, which I can use as a "money maker" in my next cereal transaction.
My total savings has been $46.30. Without coupons and my Albertsons grocery card, both purchases would have costed $49.50 (with these cereals priced at $2.07 on sale).
My total savings percentage thus far is 93.5%!!!!!
