Coupon Inspiration: My Smith’s Mega Event Shopping Trip (79% Savings)!

Here’s my Smith’s Mega Event shopping trip along with the coupon resources I used to score these deals. Smith’s is running a Buy 10 Save $5 Mega Sale through 11/17. When you buy ANY 10 participating items (Mix & Match) you will instantly receive $5 off at the register (NO limit on how much you can buy). I purchased 50 participating mega event items, and by doing so I saved $25 off my bill BEFORE I even handed over my coupons.

Here’s a break-down of the items I bought and the coupons I used. All these items are part of the mega event, EXCEPT the bag of Private Selection Frozen Fruit. This item was purchased using my “FREE Best-Customer Bonus Coupon” I received in the mail.
