So, Grand Total for all transactions:
$3.00 + $0+ $0 + $0 + $2.98 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0 + $0=$5.98 BUT I have the $3 OYNO, from the last Post transaction, so if I figure that in, then it's like I paid $2.98! Awesome...if I do say so myself!

Retail Value: $174.59
I paid: 2.98 + tax!

Here's some hints: I ordered Lysol coupons from ebay, 30 cost me $4.98, so I suppose I really should add that to my total, but $4.98 for 24 containers of free wipes? Definitely worth it to me! I watch the ad on pinchingyourpennies.com to see if anything is free or SUPER DUPER KILLER CHEAP in the up coming Albertsons ad. If it is, I hurry and get on Ebay and order coupns ("BUY NOW" only, I don't bid on auctions...you have to do it early enough in the ad cycle that the coupons will arrive before the sale ends. THEN I go into Albertsons and have them order me the amount of the product I want. That way, I don't clear the shelves (not cool) AND I make sure I get what and how many of the items I want. So when I saw that Lysol Wipes were FREE with coupon and doublers, I:
1. Went to ebay to see if more coupons were available. Ordered them on a "Buy now"
2. Went to my favorite Albies (Old Meridian by BigLots) and had the General Manager order me 2 cases.
3. My coupons arrived on Monday.
4. Went to Albies Tuesday morning, picked up my two cases, and paid. I passed on 3 extra coupons to one of the clerks, and 3 more to a lady (Gina) that I met in the store.
