First Shopping Trip And 59% Saved

Yesterday was the last day of Frozen Food Mega Event: buy 10 items, save $5 (unless they decide to extend it) at Smith's. I got some wonderful deals for the first time I've actually used a Match Up, instead of just using a few coupons on the stuff I was buying already without much thought. It is so exciting to go to the store and save more than you spend!

                                                  (Sorry its sideways... can't seem to fix)

I bought 20 items and depending on how you look at it I either got 8 boxes of pasta for free or each of those items only cost me .82. Which I would say is a pretty good haul.  Here's how I did it:
   1) I bought 10 boxes of caprisun which regularly are $1.99 but on sale for $1.49 ($1.99/$1.49) but when you bought 10 it automatically dropped the price to $1.

   2) I bought 2 boxes of Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta $.99/ $.49 had this $1/2 printable coupon which made both boxes FREE. ***When you click on the above link fill out the form and select Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta, Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta, Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta, and American Beauty Quick Cook

Pasta.***

   3) I bought 2 boxes of Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta $.99/$.49 had this $1/2 printable Coupon  that we printed out earlier which made both boxes

FREE.

   4) I bought 2 boxes of Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Pasta $.99/.$.49 had this $1/2 printable coupon that we  printed out earlier, which made both boxes FREE. 

   5) I bought 2 boxes of American Beauty Quick Cook Pasta $.99/$.49 had this $1/2 printable coupon that we printed out earlier, which made both boxes FREE.

   6) I bought 2 64oz jugs of Sunny D $1.29/$.79.

                  

Here's the break down:

              *Manufacuter's Coupons Savings:  $4.00

              *FreshValues Savings:                     $19.80

              *Total Savings (59%):                      $23.80

              *Total Spent:                                      $16.40

59% isn't too bad for my first match up but my goal is 75%.
