My plan for Lowes Foods

So I am slowly stocking up for our week long trip to a lake in July.  We do this every year but I am a bit late in starting my stock up.  But here's my plan (which you can follow too even if you aren't going to the lake!)

(3) A-1 Sauce bottles $2.24 each ( use (3) $1 off coupons SS 4/10)
(2) Lance Crackers 8 pack $2 each  (Use (2) .55 off coupons Here)
(3) Cheerios $2 each  (Use (3) .55 coupons Here)

My total before coupons **should** be  $16.72
After coupons: $8.22 (averages out to $1.02 per item! GREAT deal considering the A1 ALONE is 4.48!!)

My *little* trip to Harris Teeter

I don't usually got to Harris Teeter for just a few little items during the week, I try to hold off until Saturday for the Saturday only special.  BUT I was in my evening class right there so I stopped by.  The good news: I did GREAT and got several items for our upcoming extended family lake trip (we bring a weeks worth of food for 13 people and usually spend less than $300 for the week!)  The bad news: I forgot my $2.50 catalina in the car and I was too tired to go get it (I know I'll use it this weekend).

I asked and my Harris Teeter allowed me to split my transactions on the B1G1 free items.

I got:

My total paid was $4.85. 
I saved: $14.33
% savings:  75% (not too shabby considering the jam was $1.77 and the bread $1.17 and we actually needed them NOW).  The other items are going the stash for the lake trip this summer!
