No HST, cheap gas, and 46% savings RCSS 04-29-11

I think I just out did myself.  I even shocked the supervisor.  I didn't really plan this shopping trip so I just used coupons that made sense.  Today was no HST.  This is the best time to buy junk food or toiletries.  I will try as best as possible to break down the savings and point out all the coupons used.  Most of these coupons I've gotten through coupon trains, meetings, flyer inserts and store tearpads.  If the coupon still exists I will indicate where to find it.

Currently Superstore has an in-store promotion.  If you buy $20 of pepsico/quaker products from now to May 19th they will mail you a $30 Grocery Gift Card, therefore you get your money back and make $10

Overall Savings=$57.91 in coupon and HST savings
Paid $67.79-$30.00 Gift card that will be mailed to me for purchasing $20.00 of quaker/pepsi products
=$37.79 out of pocket

So they don't advertise it but on my last couple shops they have allowed coupon overages because there is usually one supervisor and they have to quickly punch in all the coupon savings over $10.00 they don't have time to be over analyzing everything.

On top of these savings because I spent over $100 before coupons they gave me a coupon to save $0.10 on every litre of gas up to 100 litres, and if I combine that with my PC Credit Card they will take off an additional $0.10 cents per litre.  $0.20 cents per litre savings on my next fill up!!!
