Subtotal = $20.00
- $5 off instantly at checkout= $15
- used 2 $1/2 fruit snacks coupons= $13
- used $.40/1 fruit snacks coupon= $12.60
- used $1/2 granola bars coupon (had problems printing the 2nd)= $11.60
- with tax= $12.05
Plus, I got catalinas for $2.50 and $3.50 off anything in my next transaction!
Final price is essentially $5-$6 for 9 items.
