This weeks Dillon's & Aldi shopping trips...

Last night my husband and I braved Dillon's together...without any kids!  We were there really late and the store had maybe five customers in it.  I had a lot of coupons that I wanted to go ahead and use so we considered it a mini-date of sorts!

We did 2 separate transactions to take advantage of the GM cereal deal (both transactions are shown in the picture):

Transaction #1:

2 boxes Cheerios $2.79 each

2 boxes Wheat Chex  $2.79 each

Total before discounts and coupons:  $18.65 

I actually paid: $7.49 (including tax) and got a $5.00 Dillon's gift card back!  

61% Savings!

Transaction #2:

1 pkg Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs (used FREE coupon from Dillon's mailer)

1 Coffee Mate (used FREE coupon...can't remember where from)

1 Herbal Essence 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner (used FREE coupon from mail offer)

1 ThermaCare wrap (used FREE coupon from mail offer)

4 Power Bars (BOGO with coupons)

2 boxes Cheerios (same cereal deal as transaction #1)

2 boxes Wheat Chex

2 Parkay Margarine (FREE with coupon)

2 Dozen eggs (.99 cents each w/Dillon's 3-day sale)

2 bottles Heinz Ketchup (FREE after coupons)

6 Yoplait Yogurt (used .40/6 coupon)

2 bottles Heinz Vinegar (.99 each after coupon...thought is would be lower, but the vinegar will come in hand for Easter Eggs and cleaning)

2 bottles Santa Cruz juice ($1.10 each after coupons)

2 bottles Xtra laundry detergent (.98 cents each after coupons)

I also had a $5.00 eCoupon loaded to my card because of THIS (expired offer now)

Total before discounts and coupons:  $72.88

I actually paid:  $17.26 and got another $5.00 Dillon's gift card back!

76% Savings!
