Doubler Madness

Okay, so all of this loot cost me $1.49 total (take note of the little hand grabbing for the chocolate. Like mother, like daughter!). Good times, right? Let me walk you through how I did it. I went to 2 different Albertsons (because I am strongly opposed to shelf clearing!), and did this in 5 transactions.
Start here: Get 5 copies of today's Statesman at Walmart= (.35X5) $1.75. They are open 24 hours a day, so hustle on over there (local gals, the Overland Walmart had plenty in stock!). Locate the Albertson's ad on the back page of the main section, and clip all of the doublers.

#1:
Honey-Maid Grahams=$2.49
Hershey's Bars (6pack)=$3.00
Jet-Puffed Marshmallows=$1.00
----------------------------------
Total so far=$6.49
Instant savings when you purchase all 3= -$3.00
Use Honey-Maid Grahams, any 14 oz. or larger $1/1 when you buy (1) Jet-Puffed Marshmallows, 10 oz. or larger AND (1) Hershey's Chocolate, SS-5/17= -$1.00
Use 1 doubler= -$1.00
--------------------------------
Total so far $1.49

1 Wishbone spritzer=$2.50
1 Wishbone dressing=$2.50
--------------------------------
$5.00 plus previous total=$6.49
Instant savings of $2.00 when you buy 2 (to be used toward the purchase of meat, which I did. But for the sake of this breakdown, am not factoring in.)= -$2.00
Use 1 .75/1 Wishbone dressing and 1 $1/1 Wishbone Spritzer, RP-5/17= -$1.75
Use 2 doublers= -$1.75
---------------------------------
Grand total for transaction 1= .99 cents!

#2
6 3-pack Tree Top juice boxes=$6.00
Use 3 $1/2, SS-5/17 or Printable= -$3.00
Use 3 doublers= -$3.00
---------------------------------
Grand total for transaction 2=FREE!!

#3
3 Hefty zip lock bags (find the ones on sale for 2/$4)= $6.00
Use 3 $1/1 Hefty Bags RP-5/17= -$3.00
Use 3 doublers= -$3.00
----------------------------------
Grand total for transaction 3=FREE

#4
Repeat transaction 3 (did it at a separate Albertsons, so there is plenty left for you!)

#5
Had coupons for free ketchup and 2 free candy bars, and since those coupons are not readily available, pretend that those items aren't there (because I have already consumed the candy bars, so they really no longer exist!).

2 3-packs Tree Top juice boxes=$2.00
Use 1 $1/2, SS-5/17 or Printable= -$1.00
Use 1 doubler= -$1.00
---------------------------------
Total so far=FREE!!

1 pack Solo Heavy Duty Plates=$2.50
Use 1 $1/1 Solo Heavy Duty product, SS-5/17= -$1.00
Use 1 doubler= -$1.00
----------------------------------
Grand total for transaction 5= .50

GRAND TOTAL FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS= $1.49

If you factor in the cost of the papers, I only paid $3.24 for EVERYTHING. Not bad, eh? I know for some of you, this is redundant. But when I was a newbie, I followed posts like this to the letter. That is how I learned. So hopefully, this type of post helps a few of you out there who are just starting out.

Enjoy your holiday weekend and stay safe!
