Total after coupons: $6.05*

*I didn't catch this at the register, but my total should have been $5.05. Either I dropped a $1/1 coupon, didn't give it to the checker, or she forget to scan it. I'm still pretty happy with my $6.05 out of pocket, though... especially considering the Velveeta alone was $4! That stuff is expensive!

Total RRs left at the end of the transactions: $18.50

*I could have lowered my OOP a little by splitting up transactions even more, but I didn't want to be a burden on the cashier by doing 6 transactions instead of 3. Plus I had my kids with me, so I was keeping it simple. :-)
