Buy 5 Save $5 More Promotion at Tom Thumb

I rounded up my coupons and headed off to Safeway tonight. Today is the last day of the sale which I like shopping because I can pick up rain checks if they are out of anything and use it to my advantage to round up more coupons perhaps in the upcoming Sunday inserts. Since this is a mix and match promo. I cut it a bit close but they had everything I wanted so it worked out. They are running the same promotion next week. I think the items change though.

My Scenario: I split the order in two to maximize some of my coupons that would double. My Tom Thumb only doubles the first of same item coupons.

Buy 8 Motts Apple Juice 64 oz @ $2.49 = $19.92
Buy 1 Quaker Quick Oats @ $2.99
Buy 1 Quaker High Fiber instant oatmeal @ $2.99
Subtotal = $25.90
- $10 instant promotion
- (4) $1/2 Motts MQ
- (1) $1/1 Instant Oatmeal MQ
-(1) $.50/1 doubled to $1/1 Quick Oats MQ
Final Price = $9.90

Buy 2 Motts Apple Juice 64 oz @ $2.49 = $4.98
Buy 1 Quaker Quick Oats @$2.99
Buy 2 Boxes Quaker Granola Bars @ $2.49 = $4.98
Buy 3 Boxes Quaker instant oatmeal @ $2.99 = $8.97
Buy 2 Aunt Jemima Maple Syrup @ $2.99 = $5.98
Bought 1 pack of flour tortillas @ $1.50 (not part of the promotion)
Subtotal = $29.40
- $10 instant promotion
-(1) $1/2 Motts Juice MQ
-(1) $.50/1 doubled to $1/1 quick Oats MQ
-(1) $.75/2 Granola Bars MQ
-(3) $1/1 Instant Oatmeal MQ
-(1) $1/2 Maple Syrup MQ
Final Price = $12.65

Total before coupons and sale = $73.27
Total Spent = $22.55 or an average $1.07 per item
That's a 69% savings!!

Now this is only good if your family uses these items which we do. The juice is normally around $3 - $4 a bottle so to me $.99 each is great! Do I need 10 bottles of juice right now? No. But will I be able to find that price when I need another bottle in a few weeks, probably not. We don't let the kids drink a lot of juice and I still water it down. Between Target and Tom Thumb I won't need to buy juice for a year. Food Storage!

Depending on the coupons you have you can work up a bunch of different options to fit your family's needs.

NOTE: Dominicks, Genuardis, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb, Randalls, and Carrs are all part of the Safeway family.
