I wasn't planning on a trip to HT this week but the free Hillshire Farm Grilled Essentials made me reconsider!

2 Raisin Bran Cinnamon Almond Cereal 3.94 - (2) 70/1 q's & $1 ZVR
.87 lb Asparagus 1.30
4 Bird's Eye Steamfresh 4.00 - (2) 50/2 q's
1 Hillshire Farm Grilled Essentials 4.99 (free VIC special for me!) and the cashier used the 1/1 peelie from the front so it was a MM
3 Johnsonville Sausage 8.97 - (3) 75/1 q's
1 Pepsi Next 1.25 - 1.25 ZVR

Used $4 OYNO Cat from the P&G deal

OOP 3.21

I can't believe I forgot to get the free HF Grilled Essentials but I was wanting to get the Raisin Bran b4 they were OOS. They had plenty!

4 Raisin Bran
1 Cheerios
.77lb. Asparagus
50.00 GC

Less the ZVR's and q's for the cereal most of us have and 10/50 RB q,

I originally did not have the Perdue or Meatloaf mix in my order. But my total was a negative balance because of the pharmacy credit, so I ran back and picked up those 2 items.

That's what they are hoping when they give out coupons. Looks like it worked!

Is that $2.00 WYB marked cereals a shelf tag deal? I think I missed that. - and you got 20 oz boxes? My EL doesn't show 20oz ones.

Oh, and if you like savory snacks I have an awesome recipe to make "cheese crisps" using the rice krispies if you want it.

[ammaten]

my mistake 20oz was for the raisin bran which I was also thinking of getting. Fixed my posts sorry about size mixup
had to get the 12oz size rice krispies for 4.00 ZVR since it was on this size only.
The 12oz were not easy to notice since they were not many. (almost got 9oz by mistake which is when I found the milk peelies)

The 2.00 off 4 boxes was a shelf tag deal I read about in the coupon matchup thread from someones scenario. It also mentioned krave and apple jacks as other cereals which qualified.

you can send me a recipie as I would try it. If it includes cheese I have some to get rid of.

[TheActorsWife]

1 Stove Top $1.34 - .50/1 = .34

1 Colgate TP $1.50 - .75/1 = FREE

3 Pillsbury biscuits (5ct) $1.00 ea - .40/3 q = .73ea

2 Gold Peak teas $1.50 ea - .75/1 = 2 FREE

2 Kraft Fresh Take $2.50 ea - .50/1 IPs = $1.50 ea (we really like this stuff)

2 Alouette Spreadable cheese $5/2 - 2 $1/1 = $3.00/2

4 Shamrock Rockin Refuel milks $1.00 ea - .55/2 IPs = .45 ea

I'm curious as to what Listerine deal you're referring to? I need listerine and don't see any specials on my EL - I have a $2 catalina I was looking to use today but there weren't any deals.
