Labor Day Deals

Wow, did I find some great bargains on Friday/Saturday this week.  I had some good in-ad coupons and then could pair them with manufacturer's coupons~AWESOME!
I started at Cub Foods and got:
a little over a lb of grapes@ 1.99/lb
5 Kraft shredded cheese@ 5/10.00
4 Nabisco crackers@ 4/11.96
2 Oscar Meyer hotdogs @ 3.98
TOTAL $28.26
MINUS store coupon for lb of grapes~free
              $5.00 Kraft cheese coupon
               store coupon for Nabisco crackers 4/$9.00
               (2) $1.00 coupons off of Nabisco crackers
               store coupon for Oscar Meyer hotdogs 2/$3.00
              coupon for $1.oo off of 2 hotdogs
Bringing my total down to $9.33  BUT a register coupon was supposed to print out for $5.oo off a future purchase...however, as luck would have it, the printer wasn't working at that register(#9 if you shop at Ames Cub)..so, over to the customer service counter I went.  After scrutinizing my purchases, they ended up giving me $5.00 cash, bring my shopping trip total to $4.33!!!  And everything  I bought is considered staples at my house!!!!
Saturday was my other bargain hunting day~First stop Cubs, just picked up 5 more cheese(since I had one more $5.00 off coupon) and some more grapes, got one lb free and a 5.00 off future purchase!
On to HyVee to shop their sales~here is how it went:
4 fudge Shoppe Keebler cookies on sale for $1.79(half normal price this week)
2 HyVee buns@1.19 each
3 cans HyVee green beans @.39
Pillsbury brownie mix@2.15
Big tub of storebrand ice cream@4.99
MINUS:
$3.00 in Keebler coupons
.66 in hyvee buns coupons
1.46 off Brownie mix
2.00 off tub of ice cream
.05 off for bringing my own bag in( this was new to me-I knew Target did it, but not HyVee)
AND $6.00 coupon from last week's cereal purchases
TOTAL PAID--$5.00

I feel like I got some GREAT Bargains and am proving to my family that we can eat just as well( if not better) when I take the time to hunt down the deals!
Please feel free to post questions~ I would love to help you save money for your family!!!!!!!
