You can click on the picture for a larger view. This is a picture of all my purchases combined. I'll include individual store purchases with the breakdown of transactions. I purchased these 40 items for $26.78 plus tax with $16.69 rewards remaining for my next purchases. Here's a list of what I bought: 5 Campbell's soups, 2 bottles of Bayer Advanced Aspirin, 6 bags Chex Mix, 3 Russell Stover chocolate pumpkins, 8 Coca-Cola product 12-packs, 2 boxes CVS allergy medicine, 2 bottles St. Joseph's aspirin, 2 Soft Soap body washes, one Bengay cream, one box of Ritz Crackerfuls, one Newton Fruit Thins, 3 bottles Dawn dishwashing liquid, one 20-pk Finish dishwasher tablets, 2 Air Wick iMotion compact starter kits, and one large Air Wick Ultra Freshmatic starter kit.
The retail for those 40 items was $93.87 plus tax. That's with the sale prices--it would've been much more if the items were regular price. I saved $67.09 today using coupons and rewards. I didn't include the $16.69 in rewards I have leftover because I'll include those when I calculate my savings on a future purchase.
Here is a breakdown of what I purchased at each store and how I did it. My savings would've been much greater without the soft drinks, but those are a necessary evil in our households.
