Coupons Rule!

So I am back from Metro. Went early when the store was basically empty. I had lots of FPC ready in hand. Bev the friendly cashier helped me complete the order in record time. Here is the breakdown:

Transaction #1

• $121.04 regular priced items
• Store sales -$20.64
• FPC $58.15
• Total OOP $41.25 - $15.00 mail in rebate from Dare  =  $26.25
• Savings of $93.79 or 77.49 %
• 65 Air Miles

Transaction #2

• $85.12 regular priced items
• Store sales -$2.37
• FPC $55.51
• Total OOP = $27.58
• Savings of $57.54 or 67.60%
• 44 Air Miles

Today's shopping trip would have cost $206.16. I spent $53.83 for a savings of $152.33 and used $113.66 in FPC! For an overall percentage of 73.89%. I also got 109 Air Miles (worth over $10.00 on a future visit by redeeming points) and $7.50 worth of coupons from various products.
