Giant Trip #2

The kids asked to go to the playground tonight. The playground we went to was right around the corner from Giant so I decided to stop by and pick up milk with my FREE milk catalina. Which by the way was perfect timing because we were almost out of milk. While we were there, I picked up a few other things. I only paid $1.88 for everything in the picture!

(1) 12-pack of Coke - $5.69 each
(2) 4-packs of Dole Fruit Bowls - $2.00 each
(2) Gatorades (my little helpers were thirsty from the playground) - $1.25 each
(1) Gallon of Milk - $2.99 each


Coupons used:
-$5.69 FREE 12-pack of Coke MQ from MyCokeRewards.com
-$2.00 X 2 FREE 4-pack of Dole Fruit Bowls from this rebate
-$2.99 FREE Milk Catalina
-$1/2 G2 Gatorade MQ

Total Before Coupons: $17.16
Total After Coupons: $1.88 :)

Plus I received a catalina for a FREE Dole Fruit Crisp. That was a surprise! I think it was triggered because I purchased 2 Dole Fruit Bowls.
