Yes, Copps does doubles on Wed. I am going to drop by today and pick up a few things with doubles. Not much (obviously) just a few frees and the really good meat deals to freeze.

Thought I would also share some of the specifics on the best deals I got by combining multiple coupons w/ their store deals:

The cereal, Nabisco and Coke deals have been mentioned. Here are ways to sweeten them.

If you can get your hands on any of the $2 off milk when you buy two boxes of Kelloggs cereal or $2 off fresh fruit when you buy two boxes of Kelloggs cereal, you can stack them with the 8 boxes deal and get big savings on milk and fruit along with the cheap cereal. I did this twice yesterday.

Also, they have the Coke deal where you can buy five multipacks for $10. They had tearpads in the cracker aisle for $2 off Coke multipack bottles when you buy 2 Nabisco crackers. Buy 5 Nabisco Ritz crackers with $1/1 Ritz coupons (if you have any left from the Kraft IPs last month) and use 5 bogo coupons for Ritz/Wheat Thins to get 5 boxes of free Wheat Thins. Then use the 5 Coke/Nabisco crackers coupons to get your Coke for free. Nifty, huh? But wait, it gets even better b/c if you buy ten Nabisco products, you get coupons for a free pack of roundys hamburger buns and a free pack of ground beef patties! Buy the buns this week while the Roundy's buns are bogo and you get two packs free!!!

If that was all clear as mud, here's a simpler breakdown of the deals I got:

Kelloggs Deal:

buy 8 boxes Kelloggs for $20........................+$20
get $10 back instantly..................................-10
use 8 x $1/1 Kelloggs coupons........................- 8

buy 2 gallons milk approx $3............................+6
use two $2/1 wyb2Kelloggs.............................-4

buy your choice of fresh fruit..........................+4
use two $2/1 wyb2Kelloggs.............................-4

Net cost.............................................. .......$4

Not bad for 8 boxes cereal, 2 gallons milk and $4 worth of fresh fruit!!!
(Fruit ideas: cherries $1.48/lb, blueberries $3/2, raspberries $3/2, use saver card)

You really save big by combining these.

For the pop & crackers deal:

5 boxes Ritz.............................................. .............$12.50
5 boxes Wheat Thins............................................. ..$12.50
5 Coke 6-packs of 24oz bottles.................................$10.00

use 5 x $1/1 Ritz coupons..........................................-5.00
use 5 x buy1Ritz get1Wheatthins free.........................-12.50
use 5 x buy2Nabisco get$2off Coke............................-10.00

Net cost.............................................. ...................$7.50

Pretty darn good for 10 boxes of crackers and 5 Coke multipacks!

Plus you get coupons on your reciept for free hamburger buns and free hamburger patties. Use them this week to get this deal:

Burgers and Buns Deal:

hamburger patties.......................................$3.4 9
hamburger buns x 2.....................................$2.38

free burger patties......................................-3.49
free buns.............................................. ....-1.19
bogo buns.............................................. ...-1.19

Net cost.............................................. ....All free!

As if that weren't enough, they are also doing that deal this week where you get credits for every $50 you spend and these go towards gift cards for more free groceries. Six credits = $10 off. I can't remember what the other amounts were, but the more credits you get, the more you save.

If you can get your hands on the additional coupons, the savings are awesome!!! All of my Kelloggs coupons came from tearpads at the Eau Claire Target store. Hth.
