My Giant Food Shopping Trip: $2 for $42 Worth of Quaker Oats, GM Cereal and More
You don’t want to miss taking advantage of this week’s Giant deals. Pictured are the deals I purchased this week. I was especially excited to see that the Quaker oats were a moneymaker this week as we were almost out of granola and I needed oats so I could mix up another batch. My purchases have a shelf price of $42.44, and after sales, coupons, and SavingStar I paid $22.05*. This purchase then earned me 800 Gas Reward Points which equal $20 on my next fuel fill-up. The way I figure this means I paid $2.05 for all these groceries.

*Please note, I also bought a bakery item that my husband was hungry for as well to bring my total to over $25 otherwise the gas reward points would not have added to my account.
Bill says
I don’t understand your math. Like for the cereals buy 3 @ $1..77 = $5.31 minus (2 x 50 cents coupons )= $2.31??? Can you explain it?
Also how do you get 800 ppoints for gas on $44? I thought it was a point per dollar spent?
Coupon Cutting Mom says
To answer your first question the coupons double to $1, and that is how I come up with the $1.77 price.
Also, the reason for the extra points is when you buy items out of the Gas Reward category you then receive 400 or 500 points per set of items. Max amount of gallons is 25 so when you take 25 (gallons) x $0.40 you come up with the gas savings which in this case is $10. Hope that helps.
