Shop 'n Save $5 Scenario

I've had many readers ask how I can shop at Shop 'n Save and only spend $5 or less a trip. I put together a scenario to help readers see how it can be done.

There are a few things that enable me to do spend to little:

• Shop on $10 off $50 Thursday
• Use $5 off $50 coupon from Entertainment Book - I pick these up for free using RR or ECB's
• Purchase/acquire 4 sets of insert per week
• I have two computers to print from
• Save coupons for a free item to use at Shop 'n Save
• Stock up on what I can get the best price on.

Shop 'n Save $5 Scenario - take a look at where to find the coupon HERE

Update:  I messed up this scenario.  Thanks, JB for catching it.  I added a few products to make the Instant Savings work.  If I found a mistake, before I shopped, I would rework the plan a bit, but I don't want to confuse anyone (more than I already did.)   Sorry, my plan is now over $5.

Purchase:
(6) Green Giant Boil in Bag Veggies @ $1 each = $6.00
(4) Betty Crocker Cake Mix @ .77 = $3.08
(4) Betty Crocker Frosting @ $1.50 = $6.00
