I had some catalina's that were about to expire last night, so I went shopping - I didn't need much, but figured it's always better to shop with someone else's money. I had 21 catalinas for $2 OYNO and a $5 off $25 purchase. With what I can remember, I got:
2 dozen eggs
2 spice jars - $.99 each
6 boxes Rice-A-Roni - $.90 each
5 boxes Betty Crocker Potatoes $1.00 -$.40 Q's for each
1 bag no yolk egg noodles $1.97 -$.50 Q
2 lbs. margarine $.63 each
1 Parkay Butter Spray $1.69 each (I love that stuff!)
6 cans mushrooms $.50 each
4 cans diced Italian-style tomatoes - $.50 each
3 cans organic tomato paste $.89 each -$1.00/3 organic items Q
7 pkgs. Betty Crocker pizza crust mix $.89 each (they have the boxtops on them)
1 66 ct. garbags bags (got something off the have-to list) $4.69
2 cans Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling (28 oz.) $1.98 each
2 bags of flour $1.86 each
2 pkgs. instant pudding (meijer brand) $.50 each
10 cans tomato soup (ValuTime brand) $.44 each
1 jar olives (14.5 oz.) $2.99

# of items purchased - 57
Tax $.84
Savings - $62.74
Total OOP - $.29

For all that, I paid about 1/3 of the tax. The coupons paid for the rest.
