More 11/11 - 11/17 Tops cheapies: cough drops, pineapple, unadvertised meat & more

I'm back to shopping multiple times at Tops this week in order to maximize my gas points (10 points per manufacturer coupon, maximum of 100 points per transaction), so here is a run-down of my 2nd and 3rd shopping trip deals of this week:
Trip 2

2 pouches Betty Crocker cookie mix - $0.80 each, see note
On sale 2/$4, used 2 $0.60 coupons (double to $1.20) printed from here (there is also a $0.50 coupon that will double to $1 available here)
Note: Be sure you activate the $0.50 eCoupon at Savingstar before you shop so you can get some money back.

6 jars Ragu pasta sauce - $0.83 each, see noteOn sale 3/$5, no coupon but part of a store promo where you get $5 off instantly when you purchase 6 select products
Note: These count towards the $5 off $20 Unilever eCoupon deal at Savingstar. Activate it before you head out to the store.

1 Jennie-O breakfast sausage - $0.80, see note
Regularly priced at $3.99, marked down to $0.80 due to a close sell by date
Note: These were an unadvertised deal I found in the meat cooler case at the Mt. Read store -- look for the yellow clearance label on them.  They were marked down even further to $0.60 as of yesterday and there were still a lot of them left when I was there.

I also bought chicken breasts on sale for $1.79 per pound.

The retail cost of this trip of was $69.78 and I paid $21.72 after coupons and discounts, for a savings of 69%.

I need to build up my meat stash, so I bought more chicken breasts on sale for $1.79 per pound.

The retail cost of this 3rd transaction was $102.65 and after coupons and discounts I paid $38.49, for a savings of about 63%.

I'm now up to a gas discount of $0.60 per gallon, and I will probably make 1 more trip this week to increase that amount even more.

I hope you're all having a great week.  Happy shopping!
