Tops 11/25 - 12/1 trip #2: cheap protein bars & more

I just ran over to Tops to pick up a few more goodies for the week...
4  packages Nescafe Taster's Choice coffee sticks - FREE
On sale 10/$10, used 4 $0.50 coupons (double to $1) printed from here (there is also a $0.75 off 2 coupon (doubles to $1.50) available here after registering)

2 packages Ortega taco shells - $1.50 each
On sale 2/$4 used a $1 off 2 peelie coupon on the product

4 bags Wonderful pistachios - $2.49 each, see note
On sale for $3.49 each, used 3 $0.50 coupons (coupon states not to double, but they doubled to $1 anyway) printed from here (there is also a $0.50 coupon in the 10/14 SmartSource coupon insert)
Note: The printable coupon requires you to register before you print the coupon.  When I went to print it, I got very excited because I print box popped up asking me how many copies I'd like to print.  I thought it might be a .pdf file, but it isn't.  Each separate print (go in a 2nd time to repeat the registration process -- you can do 2 per computer per email address) has a unique PIN number.  Printing multiple copies from the first registration yields the same PIN number, which makes using the multiples fraudulent.

5 Powerbars - $0.70 each
On sale 10/$10, used a $1.50 off 5 coupon printed from here

The retail cost of this transaction was $39.05 and after coupons and discounts I paid $18.12, for a savings of about 54%.  I'm also up to a $2.00/gallon gas discount.  I also noticed just now that there is a random $0.50 item charged as "Grocery" on my receipt.  I'm not sure what happened there. ???

I have more coupons I'd like to use this week, so I should be making one more trip tomorrow.  Happy shopping!
