Tops: 60% saved & stocked up on summer drinks!

I shopped at Tops today and saved approximately 60% of my bill.  A lot of my purchases were juices and drinks to use throughout the summer and I can say I should be pretty well stocked now in that area.  My retail total was $150.54 and I paid only $61.12 after sales discounts and coupons.  Here's what I bought:



8 Wish-Bone salad dressings - $0.92 each
On sale 3/$5, used 4 $0.75 off 2 coupons found here

4 Fresh Express bagged salads - $2 each for 2, $1 each for 2
On sale 2/$4, but 2 bags had $1 off coupons due to a close "Sell By" date

2 bottles Pom Lite pomegranate juice - $0.50 each
On sale 2/$3, used 2 $0.50 off coupons found here (double to $1)

2 Ellio's frozen pizzas - $2 each
On sale 2/$6, used 2 $1 off coupons found here (use zip code 15133 if you don't see it at first)

2 Heluva Good dips - $0.67 each
On sale 3/$5, used 2 $0.50 coupons found here (double to $1)

2 packages Tops string cheese - $1 each
On sale 2/$3, used $1 off your next order Catalina coupon from a previous order

4 packages Starbursts - FREE (except the tax)

4 boxes Betty Crocker fruit snacks - $1.50 each
On sale $2 each, used 2 $0.50 off 2 coupons I printed online a while ago but now I can't find the link (sorry!).  There is also a $1 off 3 coupon from the 5/22 SmartSource insert that would make these $1.67 each.

2 boxes of Shake & Bake - $1.50 each
On sale 2/$4, used $1 off 2 coupon I printed online that no longer is available (sorry again!)

2 boxes of Garnier Herbashine hair color - $1.99 each
On sale $4.99 each, used 2 $3 off coupons found here

4 cans of Dole pineapple juice - $1 each
On sale $2 each, used 4 $0.50 coupons found here (double to $1)

4 bottles of Sunsweet PlumSmart plum juice - $1.99 each
On sale $3.49 each, used 4 $0.75 off coupons found here (double to $1.50)

As always, I buy items my family needs and will use.  I will admit that the Starbursts and Skittles are not needs, but I will definitely use them!  Also, since we drink juice only on occasion the juice I bought today will last us quite a while (as will the Powerade).  And I know buying 8 bottles of salad dressing might sound extreme, but we eat tons of salad and go through a bottle every 7 - 10 days so we'll use those up fairly quickly.

And a quick funny...the cashier I had today was the same one I had one day last week.  She jokingly remembered me as the "the lady who's crazy with coupons!"
