Giant 11/16/10

My local Giant Food is running a couple of great deals this week. I ordered some Sara Lee coupons from ebay, and they came in last night. Time for shopping!

Buy 1 Sara Lee pie and 1 Breyer's ice cream, save $3.00 instantly. Limit 1 per transaction.
** Pie: $3.50 Ice Cream: $2.50. $1.50 for both with coupon + deal
Buy 3 items including Sara Lee pie and College Inn broth, get 200 gas points (20 cents per gallon)
** Broth: $2.00 each on sale
Buy 4 items including Breyer's ice cream and Skippy peanut butter, get 100 gas points (10 cents per gallon)
** Skippy: $2.00 each on sale

** Starkist tuna pouch: $1.89 regular price
** Green Mountain K cups: $5.99 on sale

I needed to do 5 transactions to get the pie/ice cream deal. Which is admittedly a little nuts. But I was sure to go when I knew the store would be empty. And heck, I'm going to be hosting 3 different Christmas dinners and 2 Thanksgivings. I need a good pie & ice cream deal.



Total Spent: $28.36
Total Saved: $69.42
Savings: 71%
Bonus Gas Points Earned: 500 = 50 cents per gallon

Coupons used:
5 x .75/1 Sara Lee pie (doubled)
1 x .75/1 College Inn broth (doubled)
1 x 1.00/2 College Inn broth
3 x .50/1 Skippy peanut butter (doubled)
1 x 2.00/2 Green Mountain K-cups
1 x .75/1 Starkist Tuna pouch
1 x 4.50 Any Milk - catalina from a prior purchase of cereals

Ooh - I was just looking over my receipts, and it looks like I earned an extra 100 gas points. I guess the last 4 ice creams qualified for the bonus, even though they were in separate transactions. So, 600 gas points earned!
