Here are the other items I picked up.

16 boxes of General Mills Cereal – all the varieties that I included here were on sale with the exception of Cookie Crisp.  Plus the Fiber Plus Raisin Bran is Part of a Free Movie Ticket Deal.  Since I bought 4, I will be able to get 2 Movie Tickets worth $24.

less $8 for $2 instant savings wyb 4
less $15 for 10 of the $.75/1 Coupons found here (2 for each of the different varieties)

On this Coupon “High” trip all but 2 of my coupons were printable coupons.  Since I didn’t exceed 2 (except mistakenly on the Yoplait Simplait) of like Internet Printables and none of them were over $3 I had no problems using over $50 worth of Internet coupons.

I also took advantage of some old printables that were set to expire soon and fit great with this week’s sales.  These weren’t included in the Giant Eagle match-ups because they aren’t available to print now, but if you have them, they make for great deals.

How have your Coupon “High” Trips been lately?  I would love to hear.
