Here's my shopping trip for today:

Trans #1
1 Publix Candy $1.67 - $1.66 (penny item)= $.01
1 Krusteaz Cookie mix $1.15 -$1q= $.15
6 Arm & Hammer $2.99 B1G1 = $8.97 - 3x $3/2q = $.03 MM

Total: $.13
Tax: $.56
Total oop: $.69

Trans #2
1 Publix Candy $1.67 -$1.66 (penny item)=$.01
3 Snuggle Fabric Softner $3.00=$9.00- 3x $3q=Free
1 Krusteaz Cookie Mix $1.15 - $1q= $.15

Total: $.16
Tax: $.56
Total oop: $.72

When you all calculate your savings, do you just add what was saved with q's or do you add your savings from the store sale also?

What an awesome trip....WTG

IMHO, your savings should reflect what you saved as a whole, including the difference between the sale/BOGO price versus the regular price, as well as your coupon savings.
BTW, great trips!

I keep a spreadsheet of what I spend. For my purposes, I'm mainly interested in coupon totals, though I make purchasing descisions based on sale items combined with q's. Whatever works best for you is the way to go.

I love looking at my spreadsheet and seeing the coupon total rise...
