Vons & Ralphs Trips

Okay, I did it... I went shopping and ended up doing the Vons Home for the Holidays Promo too. I didn't need to do it, because I used my free product coupons that I've been collecting to get to $50 to use my $10 off $50 Q. She didn't want to let me use it because it's supposed to be after coupons & discounts, but she's one of my favorite cashiers and scanned it anyway, even after my total was down to $20+. I told her thank you and paid $10.94 OOP for my $131.39 worth of groceries, and after all of that, I only got a $5 Catalina for the HFTH promo! Ugh! I didn't have the master list with me, so I couldn't double check the items, and got things that were tagged. Well, it seems the Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats is NOT on the list, even though it was tagged. I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well.... so after the $5 Catalina, my net was $5.94. BTW, the Ragu pouches are only $1.00!! Excellent price!! There is a coupon out there to save $1 off 2 Ragu & 1 pasta, so you can get 2 Ragu pouches for $1!! If you have a $1 off any Eating Right Kids product (Vons Catalina Q), then buy the Eating Right Kids pasta for $1.25... and you'll have 2 Ragu's & 1 Pasta for only $1.25!! Sweet!! These are the items I got towards the $40 for the HFTH promo: (1) BC Cookie Mix - $2, used .75 IPQ = $1 AC (1) BC Muffin Mix - $2, used .40 MQ = $1.20 AC (2) BC Frosting @ $1.50 ea. - $3, used (2) different Q's, saved $2 = $1 total AC (6) Progresso Broth B1G1F @ 2 for $3.29, used (6) $1 MQ's = $3.87 total AC (1) Jello Pudding Singles - $2.29, used .50 MQ = $1.29 AC (4) Uncle Ben's Rice - $2 ea., used (2) B1G1F IPQ's = $4 total AC (3) Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta - $2 ea., used (3) $1 MQ's = $3 total AC *(3) Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats - $2.50 ea., used (3) $1 IPQ's = $4.50 total AC ============ My BC (before coupon) total was $40.66 My AC (after coupon) total was $19.86 minus 10% I have on my card ($4.07) = $15.79 *I should have gotten a $10 Catalina since the Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats were tagged, but I only received a $5 one. =( It's after the fact, and since I didn't know WHICH product (at the time) didn't work, I'll just drop it. So, my net for this deal was $10.79. I think I can do this deal again if I get some more Uncle Ben's IPQ's.... and instead of the Kellogg's, I can get (3) Tava (at $2.50 ea.) I have (3) $1.50 IPQ's. That would actually save me $1.50 more!! So my total would be $40.66 BC, $18.36 AC, $14.29 after my 10%, use my $5 Catalina = $9.29 and get a $10 one!! Hmm.... sounds great to me!! My luck the prices will change tonight! LOL ...and a quick run into Ghetto Ralphs... (1) Quaker Rice Cakes $1 (no Q's) = $1 (1) Cinnamon Toast Crunch $2 (used .55 IPQ) = $1 (6) Powerade $6 (used 6 $1 Q's) = Free + .60 CRV (2) Carnation Evap. Milk $2 (used $1/2 MQ) = $1 (1) Colgate $1.50 (used .75 MQ) = .50 (2) Herbal Essence products @ $2.99 ea. = 5.98 (used $3/2 MQ & $2 eSaver eQ) = .98 total =========== Total AC: $5.08 minus $5 Mega Event Promo Discount for buying 10 participating items =========== Subtotal: .08 Tax: .52 =========== Used Gift Card to pay the 60¢ Total
