Acme trip was much more fun than I expected. It was a big trip for me, as my baby-help leaves tomorrow, so I’m planning to hunker down for a few weeks–can’t get much shopping done with a newborn and a toddler.

Kraft deal–I bought 9 boxes of Capri Sun, they have $1/3 tearpads hanging around the Avondale Acme. Paid $15, got the $10 cat. So $5 for 9 boxes of Capri Sun is good enough for me. We now have enough to last us through the summer, if he gets 1 a day.

Kellogg’s deal–used a $1 off one coupon and a $1/2 coupon, paid $5 for 3 boxes of cereal, got the catalina for $4.69 off milk. So only $0.31 oop overall for 3 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk.

Nabisco–used my bogo for the wheat thins, and had several $1/2 coupons for saltines and the kids’ crackers. My average oop was about $1.25 per box, not bad.

Barilla pasta is on sale for $1. Good price imo. I haven’t seen a decent pasta deal in quite some time. I used to have dozens of boxes of the free Ronzoni smart taste pasta, but I’m out.

The Kraft deal is better than I thought. Shelf prices are working on the cheese. And you can double dip and it rolls.

Buy $25 worth of Kraft cheese–use shelf prices, and you’ll get $10 back. But, if you make sure that *4* of your cheeses are Kraft 2%, then you’ll get another $3 catalina. I’ve done it three times already. All transactions I bought four packs of the 2% cheese, another package of different cheese and two boxes of Capri Sun. Using my $13 in catalinas to pay for it, it cost me $0.46 oop for transactions 2 and 3.

My plan is to go back tonight or tomorrow and do it 2 or 3 more times. $0.46 is a great price for 2 boxes of Capri Sun and 5 bags of cheese. Freeze it!
