Copps DOUBLE Double Day Trip 5/28/11...72% OFF!

Copps Trip 5/28/11 $41.47...72% OFF!

I managed to get myself up & out of bed to hit Copps DOUBLE-Double Day early, this morning!  It was interesting that the Wednesday ad stated "DOUBLE-Double Day" for 5/28, but the newer ads available in store today simply stated "Double-Day" by today's date.  As I went through the check out, the cashiers saw all my (up to 10 per transaction) manufacturer's coupons doubling, & said "Oh, I guess you can double more than five today!" So, it seems they had been unsure about whether it was a DOUBLE-double.  Glad it was! :-)

For these deals and more available at Copps this week, see my earlier post:  Copps Deals Week of 5/26/11 - 6/1/11!

Grand Totals this Trip:

Total Spent: $41.47 - $10 credit card offer*, - $10 cereal rebate (from prior trips)** = $21.47 to subtract from my $200/mo. grocery budget

Total Saved: $108.68 (72% OFF)

*$10 credit card offer is an offer from one of my credit cards for a $10 credit if I start using the card again within a certain period of time.  I used this card again today to get the credit.

**$10 cereal rebate (from prior trips) is a rebate I'm not able to tell you anything about due to the fine print.  I sent in for this rebate this past week & had not counted it in prior trips, so I'm accounting for it here.
