The coupons were calling me, they really were! With that said, I’ve been doing a little hounding, but have been pleasantly surprised at how little I’ve spent. Here’s how the pennies fall:

Target:
2 boxes Wheat Thins @ $2.04 -$1 Nabisco ST Q -$1/2 peelie = $.54 each
2 - 8 oz. bags Mini-Oreos @$1.52 -$1 Nabisco ST Q - $1/2 peelie = $.02 each
1 Jar Ragu Light Alfredo $1.25 (sale price, down from $2.19) -$.30 = $.95
4 jars Classico pasta sauce @ $1.99 (down from $2.09) –(2) $1/2 coupons = $1.49
1 bottle Softsoap body wash @ $1.99 -$1 Target Q -$1 MQ = -$.01 (free with penny overage!)
1 Colgate toothpaste @ $1.99 -$1 Target Q (package came with toothbrush) = $.99
1 Colgate toothbrush @$.97 -$1 Target coupon = -$.03 (more pennies of overage)
Total OOP = $12.99
Saved = $12.68

Jewel: I love tearpads!! This was spread over 7 separate transactions of 6 - 2L. & 3 pkgs. cookies.
42 bottles Coca Cola 2L. @ $1 = $42
21 pkgs. Keebler Cookies @$1.97 = $41.37
Minus 21 Q’s $3 off WYB 2 Coca Cola 2L & 1 pkg. Keebler, Kellogg, Sunshine products. -$63
Minus $3 cat (cats weren’t printing right – I didn’t receive cats for the first 4 transactions)
Total OOP = $17.91 (includes tax)
Total Saved - $165.84
Still have a $4 & a $2 cat, plus will call for the 4 $4 cats that didn’t print!
After cats, the total would be $4.09 MM.

So, total OOP for the last 2 days = $30.90 for 76 items (I count the bonus toothbrush as another item)
Average of $.40 per item (which does include tax)
