I went to Shop Rite today on a mission. I returned $1.10 worth of bottles and cans headed into the store with my bottle refund receipts tucked safely into my binder. Off to get the items on my list. First stop Cereal aisle. Oh no the spot for the Kix that is $1.88 is empty. Have no fear all I had to do was walk a few steps to the front of the stores end cap display of the 4 General Mills Cereals that on sale this week. Pick up my one box. Hmm....I really want to test this to see if they just double my coupon to the amount of the item or double the face value of the coupon which will produce overage. So, I set out to get a few more things. I separate it into two transactions.
Transaction 1 has:
1 Box of Kix $1.88
1 Bag of Sage Valley White Cheddar Snack .99
1 bottle of Shop Rite Liquid Cleanser 1.49
I purposely put things up that I knew I might have had to pay a little out of pocket for.
Coupons Used:
.75 Kix Cereal Coupon that was loaded on my card (Will Not Double)
.75 Kix Manufacturer's Coupon (Doubles)
.05 Canvas Bag Refund
1.10 Bottle Refund
Total Out of Pocket with Tax $1.05
Total Saved 5.56 for a 84% savings
I did what I set out to accomplish. Found out that with the e-coupon and MF Coupon, I did in fact have overage that just made the total that much less. Also....drum roll please....I got my first box of Cereal completely FREE!!!!
