Shrek-tacular Savings:  Save $4 instantly when you purchase 10 participating General Mills Products using your VIC card.

There are a ton of scenarios for this, but I have listed below what I did today.
2 Betty Crocker Box Potatoes $1.25 ea, use .25 q from 3/28 SS = .75 ea
4 Betty Crocker Cookie mixes $1.50 ea (2 different flavors), use the .40 q from the 3/28 SS = .70 ea
4 Totinos Pizza Rolls 40 ct., $2.50 ea, use the $1/2 printable: Totinos = $8.00 (great for Youth Group snacks!!!)
Total: $14.45 - $4 instant savings = $10.45
In addition, I will get a $5 catalina good on my next order for purchasing 4 of the Totinos Pizza Rolls.
Grand Total: $5.45
I also have 2 $2.50 catalinas off my next order from doing the McCormick deals, so that will knock my out of pocket to $5.45, my grand total to .45.
Is your head swimming yet?

Another FANTASTIC scenario is...
Purchase 5 Betty Crocker frostings at $1.25 ea
Purchase 5 Betty Crocker cake mixes at .89 ea
use .75 Betty Crocker Cake Mix AND Frosting 5/2 SS

Your grand total will be .45 after you use your coupons and it takes $4 off automatically.
Here's the thing....HT's coupon rules are a little fuzzy on this one - "We double up to three identical items with manufacturer coupon; additional coupons for like item will be honored at face value."...my question is - are different flavors of an item considered "identical"???? If you think you'll have a problem with this, only use three coupons and purchase 4 other items that fall within the list so that you can get the $4 off your order.

Here is one last scenario following the coupons rules with no interpretation necessary:
2 Betty Crocker Box Potatoes at $1.25 ea, use .25 q from 3/28 SS
2 Betty Crocker Cookies Mixes at $1.50 ea, use .40 q from 3/28 SS
3 Betty Crocker Cake Mixes
3 Betty Crocker Frostings, use 3 .75/2 q for cake mix and frosting
After the $4 is deducted from your order, your total is a whopping $1.57.  Yipee!!!

The way to get your out of pocket the lowest is to purchase mostly inexpensive items, only getting a couple of the higher priced items.  Even if you don't think you will use the item - let's say the box potatoes, you can donate them to your local food pantry.

Three Day Sale: CapriSun 10 pack:$1.77 (limit 4), use $1 Capri Sun Sunrise Product 4/25 SS
= .77

Sargento Shredded Cheese: $1.88, use .75 Sargento Reduced Sodium Cheese 4/18 SS
= .38
There is also a fairly new printable at coupons.com for .75.

Wacky Mac Pasta: .99, use the .50 printable from coupons.com
= FREE 

Have a great week!!!
