I bundled up the coupons and headed off to Safeway this morning.
When I got there, I had a receipt from last week and the sale ad. They had charged me regular price $8.99 on something that was on sale for $5.99- this was 3 lbs of hamburger patties...and I felt it was a good deal at $5.99, but never would have paid full price. They happily returned my $3 
Then, I stopped and talked to the manager about a couple of BOGO offers that I also had by two get 'x' off...and i wanted to make sure I could use both. He was really nice and said that I could, so long as it didnt go over the actual cost of the one item.
They also had a great sale on London Broil's $1.79 lb.
So...after about an hour and a half, I checked out. Luckily, I got a very experienced checker...and the whole process flowed smoothly.
End result...I paid $76 and saved $98 off the bill!!!
Best Deals:
I got two boxes of Nice n Easy that were clearanced for 3.99 each and had a $5 coupon with an extra double of .50 cents...end cost $2.98 for two boxes!
I got 2 boxes of Hamburger Helper at clearance of .67 each - .50 coupon + .50 double...so, 2 boxes for .17 each. I never buy this stuff, but for this price, I felt it would be a great 'in a pinch' meal sometime.
The had large jars of Nalleys pickles on sale BOGO at $3.79. I had a $2 coupon plus .50 double. So, two large jars for $2.29.
And finally, Purex laundry soup, BOGO- $5.19, $1 off + 50 double or $3.69 for both.
then...5 free 2 liters coke..(Thank you Flash)
And, I saw a little old man on oxygen putting cleaning supplies in his basket so I offered a few $1 coupons...he was very appreciative!
All in all, a great shopping experience!

I used to be majorly into coupons when there were more than myself here at home to buy groceries for.
My best I had ever done was about 5 years ago.
In one month's time [or maybe it was all in the same week, can't remember for sure.]
Anyways - I got over $600.00 in groceries and my total was just over $125.00!
Need I say that I totally loved it! *lol*
Keep up the good work - you should be proud of yourself.
Love,
