The Verdict for Super Doubles (insert super hero music here)

Pin It

You KNOW the day could not pass by without me reporting the first trip for Super Doubles.  My goal for the very first trip for the total to be the lowest for the week.  I did fairly well. 

First of all, let me say that Wally went with me, you know, because he is the BEST husband on the planet (and because all the cashiers give him extra attention....."that is SOOOO sweet of you to come with her", etc.).  He also keeps me in check and reminds me that I have to go to work and that I should stop socializing with the cashiers.  He did a transaction and I did one as well. Below is a run down of our purchases.

4 Ore-ida Fries
3 Gorton Fillets
2 Lance Crackers
2 Special K Cereal Bars
2 Special K Crackers
2 Uncle Ben's Rice
2 King's Hawaiian Rolls
3 Lysol Wipes
Total without coupons/sale = $52.91 (not including tax)
Total with sale only = $31.68 (not including tax)
Total with sale and coupons:  $2.29 (including tax

Second order:

4 Ord-ida fries
2 Gorton Fillets
1 Chobani Greek Yogurt
4 Special K Cereals
3 Lysol Wipes
1 Luzianne Tea
2 Uncle Ben's Rice
2 Lance Crackers
2 Arm & Hammer Detergents
Total without coupons/sale = $51.88 (not including tax)
Total with sale only = $34.28 (not including tax)
Total with sale and coupons = $7.04 (including tax)

Combined totals are:
Without sales/coupons:  $104.70
With sales only: $65.96
With sales and coupons: $9.75

Percentages:  Paid 9% without sales/coupon
                     Paid 14% with sales only
Basically, by using coupons, we saved 86%
 
Also, let me mention....the Arm & Hammer is not the absolute BEST deal, but I was purchasing it for someone at work.  I like to pay only about $1.25 for this and it was $1.89 each after qs.

I am a little low on qs, so I think I'll order some.  I will risk "wasting" $3-$4 by ordering them and the items not being in stock by the time I get my qs, but it's worth the gamble.....for 86% - oh yea.....
