Smiths 66% Off: FREE Gum, Philadelphia; CHEAP Cheese, Diapers

SMITHS

I know I'm buying a ton of junk lately. Let's just call it a rebellion and leave it at that.

Oh, and have you seen this "Authentic Mexican Blend" by Kraft? Authentic? I'm pretty sure that's a stretch of that word. I bought a few packages though and am interested to see how they are. The package has shredded Queso Quesadilla, Asadero, and Manchego Cheeses.

Retails: $87.45

Total Spent: $29.64

Percent Off: 66%

How did I do it?

Smiths has a Mega Event promotion where for every 10 participating items you buy, $5 automatically comes off at checkout. Everything on my list that's green is on the promotion.

In addition to the killer Mega Event, there is also a $5 catalina (like a gift card that you can use on anything at the store in the next 2 weeks) that prints when you buy 5 of select Kraft items. Details here. I bought the Natural Cheese and Philadelphia Cream Cheese as they are on both promotions.
