Doing the Tom Thumb Happy Dance!


I'm so happy! I planned it all out, everything was in stock and my transactions went very smoothly! I was in and out in under 30 minutes even after a trip to customer service! I think I'm still on the money-saving high!!! I got everything in the above picture, plus 9 more Ozarkas that I was too lazy to unload from my trunk for $14.69. Check it out:

Transaction #1:
10 Ozarka Sprt-Top 6pks - $1.99 each (only 1 is pictured)
2 Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers - $2.50 each (used $1/1 printable)
2 Colgate Total - $2.99 each (used $1.50/1 printable from Aetna)
3 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 4ct - $1.50 each (used $1/3 from 4/26 SS)
Used $15 in Catalinas from previous transactions

Total OOP: $14.52
Received: $10 OYNO from Living Well promo, $3 OYNO from Pillsbury and 5-$2 OYNO from the Ozarkas - That's a total of $23 back!

Transaction #2:
4 Electrasol Powerball Tabs - $3.99 (used $2.50/1 from 4/19 SS)
1 Bright Green Bleach - $1.49 (used $1/1 printable from Tom Thumb website)
1 Bright Green Tissue - $1.49 (used $1/1 from Bright Green Flyer in-store)
20 Yoplait Light Yogurt - $0.50 each (used 3 $0.40/6 from 4/19 SS)
1 pkg Pork Chops - $6.19 (used 30% off peelie on pkg)
3 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 4ct - $1.50 each (used $1/3 from 4/26 SS)
Used $23 in Catalinas from 1st transaction above

Total OOP: $0.17 Woohoo!!!
Received: $10 OYNO from Living Well promo, $3 OYNO from Pillsbury and $2 OYNO from Yoplait Yogurts

Grand Total OOP: $14.69
Retail Value: $106.48
Savings: 86%

Plus, I still have $15 to spend on my next order! What shall I buy next? :)

(The trip to customer service was because a couple of my coupons stuck together on the first transaction so they weren't deducted. They actually charged me $20.02 and I had to go to customer service to get the other $4.50 back. Easy as pie!)
ETA: I know the pork chops weren't exactly the best deal, but I didn't have anything thawed out for dinner and $4.33 for some pork chops is still cheaper than a restaurant! ;)
