Anyone see a problem with these trips. I'm doing them daily based on coupons I have on hand. Some may need to be adjusted if certain types aren't included (for instance granola (sweet N salty not included since only one my kids will eat).

Using following coupons for all trips:
Cake/Frosting: $0.75 (must buy one of each) from GM supplement
Sweet N Salty granola bars: 0.50 from GM supplment (also available on coupons.com)
brownie mix (0.75 off 2 from GM supplement)
Chex sweet N salty snack mix (0.50 from GM supplement): if included. If not Gardetto’s® Snack Mix coupon from boxtopsforeducation.
Progresso soup coupons (supplement and coupons.com and boxtopsforeducation) all are 0.50/2
Fruit chews (0.50/2 from supplement/coupons.com/boxtops)

Thought about moving some around so money out isn't as much on some however waiting for coupons so some trips have to be later.

total OOP: 8.50
with $2.50 for future trip.

Praying for stocked shelves and no issues with coupons. (Cake mixes will be used for school functions and I'm thrilled will cost nothing)
