That is a Savings of 73% 05/07/11

This was my first trip to the grocery store, other than Target.  I went to Lucky with a purpose: Gatorade.  It was 10 for $10. I had nine coupons to get a free 32oz G2 if you purchased Prime (3 for $3) and Recover (3 for $3).  Sure, my husband is a soccer player so I know he will drink all of it.  Lucky was running a special on Sobe too, 5 for $5 and there just happens to be a coupon for $1.50 off of five, or $0.30 savings per bottle.  So I stocked up with 20 bottles. 

All of this for under $50.00

Next was the chips and free soda.  Sun Chips & Tostinos were offering free Sierra Mist Natural & Pepsi Max with purchase.  Yes, there were coupons for the chips on top of the fact they were B1G1F.  So 4 bags of chips and 4 2L of soda.  $1.00 per set of soda / chips.  

I knew I needed coupon filler, so I added 2 sets of the Classic Mix chips with 22 bags each - they were on sale, plus I had a $2.00 coupon.  The filler was needed to cross $50 before the CRV fees from the drinks, so I can take advantage of my $10 off a $50 Lucky purchase coupon (after all my other MFG coupons, of course).  

The PowerBar promo - 10 for $10 was my ticket to a $5.00 next time coupon, after spending $20.  I had 10 B1G1F coupons so I qualified for the $5.00 because I bought 20 PowerBars even though I only paid for 10! 

Finally, I highly recommend the new Emerald Breakfast on the go packs.  They are 2 for $5.00 and worth every penny.  Yummy.  And there is a coupon for your next purchase inside the lip of the box.

The cashier just stared at the receipt shaking her head.  "Wow!" she said.  "You saved $125.06 / 73%

79 items with full retail of $171.33  My cost: $46.27   Saving $125.06 / 73%

This receipt is 53" long!!
