Smiths

I am so Excited! Went shopping at Smiths tonight, and got some great deals! Going again tomorrow!
On my 1st purchase,
I bought:
5 cases of Nestle waters
and
45 powerades
 Smiths has a Mega event on certain products, and If you buy 10 ( you can mix and match) you get $5 off instantlly!
Also with the Nestle waters, I bought 5 because they have a catalina that printed out after for $5 towards my next store purchase :)
So my total was= 37.50 Plus the $5 cat to use next time.

Thats 54% saved!

So I decided to unload it all in the car and go back in..
My second transaction:
45 powerades
4 cases of Capri sun
10 boxes of Annies mac n cheese
6 Quacker rice snacks
- $5.00 from the last transaction
= 32.70
( before handing the cashier my store card, the total was nearing 88 bucks! thats just CRAZY! I would Die If I payed that much for Real!)

thats a 63% savings!
I Love when I get Great Deals at Smiths!

So I did two other transactions but my checker made some mistakes. and it was getting late so I didnt notice! I am so disappointed! But I have learned.
so on Trans #4
my total was 13.62 but if the checker and I would have been paying attention my total would have been around 5 dollars, for 2 mayos, bestlife butter and 2 craving board lunch meats! Oh well!  and then on transaction #5, my total was 31.25 but if the checker would have used my 2 coupons that were in the basket still, she missed it would have been around 27.00. Things happen, and I might try and go again tonight if I can. But we will see. Oh as it is on trans 4 I saved 10.96 and trans 5 I saved 17.01. still not bad but I can do better! Good luck to everyone else!
