My First Multiple Transaction Grocery Trip

I am writing this just from memory, but will have images to follow.

On Saturday this past weekend it was Double Daze at Pick'n'Save, so after I got off work I went there with my coupons and shopping lists organized into two separate transactions. Sidenote: For those of you who don't know Pick'n'Save's coupon policy for Double Daze let me enlighten you. On Double Daze you are allowed to double up to 5 coupons as long as you total reaches $25 before said coupons or swiping you savings card. Coupons do not double if the dollar off amount is larger than $1. So the highest possible amount off you can get to by doubling coupons is $2 off. Now that we are all on the same page I will return to the story. I tried to have my list organized in a way that I could start at one end of the store and work my way through it without backtracking. Needless to say my list wasn't perfect, I never backtracked thankfully since I was looking down each aisle I walked by. I managed to spot some items that were out of order on my lists.

So, I'm at my first destination which is Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs 2/$4. Unfortunately I didn't have a coupon, but was thinking about picking up one package. However when I got to freezer with the hot dogs the regular hot dogs were all gone, so I decided to pass up this offer. Onto english muffins.

The offer was Buy Any Thomas English Muffin or Entemenn's snack bites Get One Free. I opted to get regular English Muffins for $3.99 and Entemenn's Brownie Bites for $4.49, so I got the English Muffins for free YAY.

There were numerous items that I bought that I got decent deals on, but I am only going to outline the best deals otherwise this will be a very LOOOOOONG post.

Anyways they had Crave cat treats on special for 10/$10 (you don't have to buy 10, but as long as you have their savings card each bag will be only $1). I also had 2 coupons for BOGO, so I got 4 bags for .50 cents each. Totinos Pizza Rolls and Pizza Stuffers were also apart of the 10/$10 deal, so I picked up 3 pizza rolls boxes and 1 pizza stuffers. On top of that I had a coupon for .60 cents off 3 pizza rolls and $1 off a box of pizza stuffers. Both doubled so I got 1 box of pizza rolls free with .20 cents to spare and the pizza stuffers free with $1 to spare. Unfortunately when it came time to check out I had to self-checkout so I wasn't able to check that everything was scanning correctly, so when I got home I saw that they charged me $3.99 for the pizaa stuffers which means with the coupon I still paid $1.99 for them. : (

One last deal, Lean Cuisines were on sale 5/$10 and I had a $1 off coupon so once that doubled that was one free meal. An added bonus though was that I included these in my first transaction, so after I scanned everything and paid, I got another $1 off coupon from Lean Cuisine to use on ANY future purchase. I then applied that to my second purchase which then doubled to $2 instead of using my .60 cents off coupon as a doubler it just went through as a regular coupon.

Overall I spent a total of $23.50 on the first transaction and $29.62 on the second. My savings for the first was $20.11 and $31.64 for the second.

This is not the shopping trip I am the most proud of, but it definitely ranks Top 5.
