Cereal and pickles... what a combination!

Made a quick trip to Giant Eagle in NE Ohio after a chiropractor appointment. Got most of the items I went for.

.
2 Kix @ $4.59 each
1 Trix @ $3.49
Had a raincheck from last week for the GM Cereal 3/$7 -$2 instantly, making them 3/$5
– 2 $.75/1 Kix and 1 $.50/1 Trix
$1 total

4 Fruity Pebbles @ $3.19 each
On sale for 5/$10
– 2 $1/2 any Post cereal 11oz. or larger
$6 total, plus $3 catalina off my next purchase

2 Vlasic Pickles @ $2.99 each
On sale for $2
– 2 $.75/1
$1 total

2 Sunday papers @ $1.25 each
(when they have leftover Sunday papers, they mark them down to $1.25 to sell throughout the week)

And a free cookie for my daughter (who actually just turned 2 today) 🙂

Total before sales/coupons: $33.91
Total after sales/coupons: $10.50, and still have the $3 catalina
69% savings (75% on just the food if I wouldn’t have gotten the papers)… not including the catalina left
