Fruit Snacks for 2 cents each? Yes, please! And my Sunday trips for about $20.

This coming week at Food Lion (beginning 2/5), Betty Crocker fruit snacks will be on sale BOGO free for $2.79. If you combine a coupon with some awesome Ibotta and Savingstar deals, you can get 2 boxes for just 2 cents each (yeah!)

Ibotta is an awesome app that gives you cash back for buying certain things (if you are interested, use my personal referral link HERE and it helps me out) and I have written about Savingstar before but it's basically the same idea.

Buy 1 box of Despicable Me fruit snacks and 1 box of Fruit by the Foot Flavor Mixers and use a $0.50/2 manufacturer coupon (from various SmartSource inserts, but the one I have expires on 3/2)

Pay $2.29 at checkout
Submit for $1 back on the Fruit by the Foot Flavor Mixers (Ibotta) and $0.75 back on the Despicable Me (Ibotta) AND get back $0.50 for buying 2 Betty Crocker snacks (Savingstar)

So, $2.29-$2.25 in credits = 4 cents total for 2 boxes (woohoo!!)

**You MUST buy those two certain flavors/types because the Ibotta offer will ONLY work on those specific boxes, but hey, who doesn't love nearly free fruit snacks? Also, if you don't have the manufacturer coupon, no big deal because you will still get both boxes for only $0.54 total which is awesome still!

(sorry the quality is awful, I have tried everything...)

Walgreens

4 Mountain Dew Kickstarts ($4), 2 AZO Cranberry supplements ($20), 2 Culterelle supplements ($20), and 4 Coke 12 packs ($10)

Pre-coupon total: $54 (and that's the sale price. The Culterelle is reg. price at $24.99 what?!)

Coupons used:

I had 4 surveys on my receipts worth $1 each, so I used 1 of those on each transaction before the Coke. and otherwise, I simply took advantage of this week's awesome "freebie after register reward" items and a great 1-day sale on Coke. Walgreens is a little tricky since register rewards can be rolled, but must be rolled in a certain order (no problem once you get the hang of it though).

I did multiple transactions and used the money I earned from #1 to buy #2 and so on like this:
#1: 1 AZO at $10 and 1 Mountain Dew Kickstart at $1 and used $1/$5 purchase survey q
Paid $10.03, got $11 in register rewards back (3 cent net)

#2 1 Culterelle and 1 Mountain Dew Kickstart (used the $10 from #1) and paid $0.03, got $11 back
and I did those exact two over again, and then I used my final $10 to buy the 4 packs of Coke (paid 25 cents in tax). I left the store with $4 in Register Rewards from the Mountain Dews.

In all, I paid a final of $6.37 after register rewards at for everything. Pretty sweet for the Cokes :)

Total Spending for yesterday: $20.69 (not my lowest ever, but considering I bought 4 packs of Coke, houshold goods, milk, bread, and meat--I'll take it!)
