Total OOP (out of pocket) was $4.23. We saved a grand total of $28.86. Plus we got another $5.00 coupon (Catalina) back from General Mills for buying $20 in their selected product (oh and $5 in Box Tops to donate to our school), as well as another $3.50 Cat back from Betty Crocker for buying five fruit snacks, and $1.50 for buying three Nut Clusters. ANNNNND, we got ANOTHER survey at the bottom of our receipt worth $2. That is like making money. We made $7.77 not including the $5 in Box Tops. Wow!!!

** Was just looking at the receipt and noticed that the other yogurt should have been doubled, but instead a $.50 coupon was doubled. I sent my nice hubby to the store and he did not realize that is what the cashier did. Oh well. These kind of things happen. I cannot complain.
