Copps Trip 03/12/11 $2.61 (85% OFF): not including gift card

Quick little Copps trip this morning.  It ended up being quite the potato day!  I had planned to buy some of the $0.99/lb. split chicken breast, too, but changed my mind when I saw that the smallest package they had at my store was going to be $7+ (& they also had quite a bit of fat on them, which was not appealing to me at the time).  So, I just upped the $ amount on my gift card purchase to be sure I met the $25 (coupon doubling) threshold. 

Here's what I chose to buy today:

3-McCain Purely Potatoes, $2.50 each + used three $1/1 coupons, doubled = $0.50 each

1-Roundy's Red Potatoes, 5 lb. bag, $2.29

2-Pure Protein Bars, $1.00 each + used two $1/1 coupons, doubled* = $1.18 moneymaker *for some reason these only "doubled" to an additional $0.59 each???  I decided to leave well enough alone, though, because I was still getting a $1.18 money-maker on this purchase.

1-$15 Copps gift card (to be sure I'd have a total of $25 so my coupons would double)

Total Spent = $17.61-$15 Copps gift card for future use = $2.61 (84% OFF!)
Saved: $13.61

Total to apply to my $200/mo grocery budget = $17.61
