My last trip this morning. I hit exactly 20 coupons like I have every trip. My two year old is learning to count to 20 because of triples- he counts with me now.

Nestle Morsels: $2.50-$.50tripled= $1 bag
Progresso Broth: $1.49-$.50tripled= FREE
Franks hot sauce: $1.20-$.50tripled= FREE
McCormick brown gravy mix: $1.98/2-$.50/2tripled= $.24
McCormick chili mix: $1.39/2-$.50/2tripled= FREE
Colgate toothbrushes: $2.50-$.75tripled= $.25
Small coffeemate: $2.39-$.50tripled= $.89
Nesquick chocolate milk: $1.75-$.50tripled= FREE
Hormel pepperoni: $2.29-$.55tripled= $.64
Beef strew meat on closeout= cheap meat for beef stew

I also bought two chocolate advent calendars for my DS and DH. I always look for these every year and was excited to find them. They were $2.50 each, which shot up my total.

The guy behind me today was again impressed with my total spent, especially when I said it wasn't as good as yesterday. I explained where I got the coupons from and he said I needed to give his wife a lesson.

O.k. I finally made my trip today. Keep in mind I am exhausted from my all day shopping trip yesterday to Shopper's Food warehouse. There I spent $29, Saved $269. So today's trip was not my best.

Let me give you some back ground, though. HT keeps sending me $10 off $40 weekly order coupons. I have gotten duplicates from friends also (I had 2 today). There is no giftcard exclusion on these coupons, so essentially you can get $10 of groceries + $30 in New HT gift cards, use the $10 off coupon and pay with your $30 gift card from the week before. So some of this stuff was cheap because of that. Here's my 2 trip compilation (one was for my mom and one for me):

Amount Saved: $87.78
Amount Out of my pocket: $9.56
Amount left in HT gift cards: $30

If I hadn't have been soooo tired, I am sure I could have worked this better. To boot, I left my triples coupons index box in the cart. Hopefully they will recover it and save it for me. Luckily they were just coupons for triples and many will probably expire soon.
