Giant Eagle run - OOP: $33.45 Savings of: $73.96

My Giant Eagle trip didn't go as planned. My OOP should have been $9.50 less. But, the snack well coupons I had were not for items that were included in the sale (and I didn't realize this until I got to the register and had no time to rethink things) & it didn't print 2 of my $5.00 Catalina's for the Kraft promo. The cashier was nice enough to print me one of them, but said that was all she could do, I would have to go back in the morning. So, I'll go back in the morning and hope they will print it for me. If you plan to do this promotion, please be advised the Ritz are NOT triggering the Catalina.

I purchased a TON of hamburger helper. Well, it's a ton for us because we rarely eat it. My husband usually buys hamburger at his work, but the Catalina running for the hamburger helper made it a great deal so I couldn't pass it up. The Catalina offer is: Purchase 5 or more Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper meals and receive $2.00 off your next hamburger, tuna, or chicken purchase.

I did 6 separate transactions. Yes...6 lol. It was a little ridiculous, but I wanted to roll my $5.00 Catalina's. Luckily I went at 1 am so I didn't hold up the line or anything :)
