Save Mart Kellogg's Promo (7/28-8/3)

Earlier this week I was on the fence about the Kellogg's deal running at Save Mart. I had just about decided not to do any Kellogg's deals until I found this little gem at the Raley's (center from of store in school bus display) on Vista. They also had some at the Save Mart on Kietzke, NOT at the Save Mart on Pyramid.This booklet has the following coupons (Save Mart prices in parentheses):

Save $2 on one gallon of milk WYB 2 Keebler cookies (Unknown price on milk)
Save $2 on one store brand coffee WYB 2 Kellogg's Nutri-Grain
Save $2 on school supplies WYB 2 Sunshine Cheez-it crackers (Folder $0.25)
Save $2 on one gallon of milk WYB 2 Keebler and/or Sunshine multi-packs
Save $2 on one 12-24 pack store brand water WYB 1 Special K cereal and 1 Special K protein product
Save $2 on store brand bread WYB 2 Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats (Bread $1.19)
Save $2 on Ocean Spray WYB 2 Kellogg's Mini-Wheats Cereals (Unknown price on OS)
Save $2 on store brand baggies WYB 2 Kellogg's Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, Corn Pops, and/or Frosted Flakes (Baggies $1.79)
Save $2 on store brand bread WYB 2 Kellogg's fruit snacks (Bread $1.19)
Save $2 on fresh fruit WYB 2 Keebler and/or Sunshine Right Bites snacks
($0.37/lb. bananas, $0.77/lb. grapes...)

So basically the coupon value is $1.00 off per item plus the price of the "extra purchase" item (milk, school supplies, bread, fruit...)

I spent $2.27 on everything pictured below!I got:

2 Special K crackers - $1.77 each
$1.00/1 coupon attached to boxes
Final price: $0.77 each

2 100 calorie chocolate pretzels - $1.77 each
$2/2 WYB fresh fruit
Final price: $0.77 each

2 100 calorie cookies - $1.77 each
$2/2 WYB fresh fruit
Final price: $0.77 each

4 Cheese It crackers - $1.77 each
(2) $2/2 WYB school supplies
Final price: $0.77 each

And my "extra purchases" were:

Fresh fruit, bananas - $0.37/lb.
Final price: $0.74

Fresh fruit, grapes - $0.77/lb.
Final price: $1.35

School supplies, 2 folders - $0.25 each
Final price: $0.50

SUBTOTAL: $7.70 for 10 Kellogg promo items + $2.59 "extras" = $10.29

I wasn't sure how close I actually was to $10 and I had a $10 catalina, so for good measure I threw in:
2 loaves of bread - $0.99 each

GRAND TOTAL: $12.27 - $10 catalina = $2.27 OOP and got another $10 catalina back!

Even if this was my first transaction and I didn't have a catalina to roll, I would have paid $10.27 OOP and received a $10 catalina back.

The thing to remember with these coupons is to find the lowest price "extra purchase" items as possible.

Here's what I'm planning for round two tomorrow:

(4) 100 calorie snacks- $1.77 each
(2) $2/2 WYB fresh fruit
Final price: $0.77 each + ~$2.00 fruit

(2) Keebler Cookies - $1.77 each

$2/2 WYB milk
Final price: $0.77 + milk price ($2.50?)

(4) Cheez-it Crackers - $1.77 each
$2/2 WYB school supplies
Final price: $0.77 + $0.50 folders

Estimated total: $12.70 - $10 catalina = $2.70 OOP and another $10 back!

I'd love to hear what scenarios you come up with for this and how you do.
