Shopping Trip: Giant, 3/7/10

Giant offered four “Super Doubler” coupons this week, where they double coupons with a value of $1. It’s not as great as Super Doubles at Harris Teeter, but it’s something.

I’m having surgery on my sinuses on Tuesday, and I wanted to stock up on soft foods I would be able to eat no matter what. Here’s how I did:

After the jump, the glorious details!

Today’s trip:

• Giant honey wheat bread, $2
• Giant milk, $3.69
• Giant eggs, $1.29
• Red Baron Deep Dish Singles pepperoni pizzas, five boxes, regular $4.49 each, sale $3.37 each, minus five doubled coupons for 75 cents off = $9.35, or $1.87 each (Mr. Jones loves these for work lunches, and I love saying “work lunches” with regards to Mr. Jones)
• All detergent, regular $5.79, sale $3.99, minus coupon for $2 off = $1.99
• Angel Soft toilet paper, two packages, $2.99 each, minus doubled coupon for $1 off two = $3.98, or $1.99 each
• Barilla pasta, two boxes, regular $1.49 each, sale $1 each, minus doubled coupon for $1 off two = free
• Campbell’s Healthy Selects soup, two cans, regular $2.50 each, sale $1.50 each, minus doubled coupon for 50 cents off two = two for $2, or $1 each

• Glade Plugins refill, $3.49
• Marcal Small Steps paper towels, two rolls, $2.19 each, minus two coupons for $1 off each = $1.19 each (these coupons were for one free roll or $1 off a multi-pack, but the checkout lady said they said “up to” $1 off; this has happened twice when I’ve gone to Giant and I haven’t fought it much either time, but secretly I am a tiny bit frustrated; TAKE THAT checkout lady! I am a tiny bit frustrated SO THERE!)
• Progresso soup, four cans, regular $2 each, sale $1 each, minus doubled coupon for $1 off four = four for $3, or 75 cents each

Total paid $58.93; total saved $44.10, or 43 percent. Not bad at all!
