The $1 Coupon Joy

I found out about Smith's deal with doubling coupons today and was so happy to "cash" in on it! As it was a coupon day anyway, I pulled all the possible <$1 coupons I had and then decided which would possibly be a good deal and then took the family, split DH and myself with half of the list and gave ourselves a limit of $2/item pretty much and this is what we got:

Ronzoni SmartTaste Pasta (50 cents each)
French Mustard (25 cents final)
French Honey Dipping Sauce (69 cents)
Hunts Ketchup 50 oz. (1.96 each) (coupon for 20 cents off - quintupled coupon x 2 happy day)
Fiber One Chewy Bars ($1) I've always wanted to try these
Mtn High Yogurt 32 oz ($1.50)
6-pack Yogurt = $1.66
Sunny D (25 cents)
More Yogurt 6-pack = $1.08
4 Cover Girl make-ups for $7.42 - some were labeled wrong apparently - it was supposed to be close to free - oh well!
Toaster Strudel $1 each
Frozen Veggies Steamables 66 cents each
Pepperoni 1.29 each
Lunchmeat $1 each
And money off for recyclable bags and 5cents off gas too! Hurray!

Total oop = $28.38
Coupon savings without doubling = $14.40 - with doubling = $23.60 ahh! Lovely numbers - not a complete doubling deal but still happy
Total saved = $44.15 or about 61%

Pretty happy day and my coupon book is lighter and all the clipping and studying has paid off, which is something that I really like to see.
