74%?
So I made it to Gerbes yesterday and got the things on my list and some. The only thing they were out of was the Ivory bodywash, so I'll probably try another Gerbes when I go back to Columbia today. So here's the lowdown of what I got:
2 Ocean Spray 64oz juice- on sale 2/$5 B1G1Free coupon-1.25 each
4 cans Dole Pineapple- 10/$10 $1.00/2 coupon-.50 each
2 tubs I can't believe it's not butter-$1.99 1.25 coupon-.74 each
8 Pure Protien bars 10/$10-2 $1.00 off coupons and 3 $1.00/2 coupons- 1st 2 were FREE, remaining 6 were $.50 ea
1 Revlon Eyelash curler clearance 1.49-1.00 any Revlon beauty tool coupon-.49
6 bags Birds Eye vegetables 10/$10-.80/2=.60 each
Betty Crocker potatoes-10/$10 1.00/2 coupon-.50 each
6 Reeses Eggs .89 each-B2G1 Free sale-.30 off each coupon(so I was getting even $.30 off the 1 the store was already giving me for free) plus the coupon then doubled-making all of them FREE
4 Colgate Toothpaste10/$10 $1.00/1 coupon-FREE
1 kids Colgate $1.18-1.00/1 coupon-.18 each
2 Windex multi-surface cleaners 1.99 $1.00 coupon-.99 each
6 Colgate toothbrushes 10/$10 .80 coupon-.20 ea
Totals:
Before sales or coupons- $86.98
After sales and coupons-$22.15
Total savings: 74%
That is my highest percentage of savings yet at Gerbes! So excited about that! Remember on my coupons, some were for less but they doubled so I just included the doubled amount, not the actual coupon amount.
But that's not all, no that's not all. I also hit Walgreens to pick up my FREE photo prints from the deal I posted Thursday on FB. While I was there I picked up:
2 Dove Chocolate bars-$.59 ea on sale
6 Mentos UP2U gum $.99 on sale -$1.00/2 store coupon-$1.00/2 mfg coupon=FREE
2 Revlon packs of emery boards-B1G1 50% off 1.99 for the 1st, .99 for the second-$1/1 store couponx2, and $1/1 mfg couponx2=FREE
1 Dansani Water
1 Package of Cashews
(Can you tell Marcus was with me on this one?)
All in all, my total was $4.43, but I had a $3 RR I hadn't spent yet so out of pocket I ended up paying $1.43 for all of that.
Yesterday was a good day. We will see what today holds :)

Back to normal?
So there hasn't been any great deals to speak of the last couple of weeks, so I haven't spoken of them :) Things are looking up for this week, and I'll give you my planned shopping list. I do not keep track of when I clipped each coupon, only if I have it or don't so I hope you have been clipping and have your coupons organized! :)
WalMart:
Betty Crocker Frosting 1.77
Betty Crocker Cake Mix (price match to Schnucks) $.86
Coupon- $.75 off both mix and frosting=1.88 for both, or $.94 ea
Allegra 5 ct $5.94
Coupon-$7 off any Allegra product=FREE + overage depending on which cashier you get. Some give me my overage, some don't.
Bratcher's:
2 Doz Eggs $.99 per doz with coupon from ad
"Like" The Incredible Edible Egg on FB for a $.55 off coupon any 2 doz eggs.
Bratchers will then double that coupon for a grand total of $.88 for both
(Side note: the website will let you print 2 coupons, but Bratchers has a limit so go in buy your 2 doz-on the way out, grab another ad and go back later for another 2 doz.)
Gerbes:
Bird's Eye Steamfresh Veggies 10/$10
Coupon-$1.00/3=$.67 ea
Betty Crocker Mashed Potatoes 10/$10
Coupon-.50/2 doubled to 1.00/2=$.50 ea
Colgate Toothpaste 10/$10
Coupon-.75/1 doubled to 1.00/1=FREE
I can't believe it's not butter 1.99
I have a internet coupon for $1.25 off which may still be available from coupons.com. If it is not however you should still have a coupon for .75/2 from the newspaper inserts.
=.74 w 1.25 coupon
=1.49 w .75 coupon
Ivory Bodywash 10/$10
Coupon-1.00/2=.50 ea
Pure Protein Bars 10/$10
I have 2 online coupons from pureprotein.com for 1.00 off any pure protein product, plus 1.00/2 from newspaper inserts. My first 2 will be free, $.50 after that
Schnucks:
Jet Puffed Marshmallows 1.00
Coupon .40/2 says do not double, but alot of times they double automatically and its not caught so:
If it doubles: $.60 ea
If not: $.80 ea
Cascade dish pacs 3.99
Coupon- $.25 any cascade dishpac doubled to .50=$3.49 ea
Kelloggs Cocoa Krispies 2.50
Coupon-$1/2=2.00 each
The real reason I'm buying those because I certainly have more than enough cereal is this:
I have a coupon which I peeled off the last boxes of Rice Krispies I bought for free large bags of M&M's with the purchase of 2 boxes of Rice Krispies. So for $2 a box I'm getting Cocoa Krispies AND a large bag of M&M's.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt...Well, the fillings anyway.
I went and hit up Walgreens huge candy sale today. All of the coupons I used today have come out in the last 2-3 weeks in the paper so you all should have them :)
(6) 8 oz bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs (reg. 3.29 ea sale 2/6-1.00 walgreens coupon-(2) 2.00/3 mfg coupon= $1.33 ea
(6) Bags Easter M&M's (reg. 1.69 on sale 2/$1-1.00/2 coupon=Free)
(12) Snickers Eggs (.75 ea-$1/2 coupon=$.25 ea)
Plus I had a $3 Register Reward from the last time I was in making my grand total (should have been) $7.98
P.S. For the umpteenth million time I had issues using my coupons and had to duke it out with a manager. Because of that I did not notice until I left that I was overcharged by about $6. Looks like the store coupon didn't scan so I will be going in tomorrow for my refund. Be careful when you go to Walgreens and always check your reciepts before you leave. I don't think I have EVER gone in, used coupons, and had a pleasant/correct experience or transaction. This includes the Moberly and the Columbia on Nifong stores.

Side note: I have been notating when my coupon is .50 and doubled to 1.00, etc... For the sake of my typing hands, let's just assume those are doubled so you will see them as $1.00 coupon unless they are only taken at face value.
