*I only got 1 Febreze (I realized I had 21 coupons to use and there was other items I needed more so I put 1 back) and I didn’t get the Edge shave gel (it had one of the clearance stickers that goes over the actual barcode, so the coupon wouldn’t scan and my store wouldn’t override).*

  • Febreze Fabric Refresher $2.99 – used $1/1 coupon from the 2/28 P&G insert – $0.99
  • (2) Reese’s/Hershey’s Snack Mix $1.99 each – used (2) $1/1 coupons from the 2/28 Smart Source insert – both free
  • (2) Lunchables with 100% Juice $2.50 each – used (2) $1/1 printables – $0.50 each
  • (3) Prego Sauce $0.99 each for the first 2, $1.49 each after – used $1/3 coupon from the 2/28 Smart Source insert – $0.49 each
  • (2) Lunchables Uploaded $2.39 each – used (2) $1/1 peelies found on product but there is a $1.50/2 printable HERE – $0.39 each with peelie, $1.64 each with printable
  • (2) Betty Crocker pouch potatoes $0.59 each – used $0.50/2 printable – $0.09 each
