Couponing 101: Multi Transactions

You have probably noticed that I often do multi transactions during many of my shopping trips in order to maximize my savings. QFC (and other Kroger stores) are having an awesome promotion this week that offer a great opportunity to practice multi transactions.

Buy 10 participating items, get $3 instantly at checkout, plus get a $3 catalina that you can use off your next purchase.

Step 1:

Head to the Campbell's website and print the following coupons. You can print 2 of each coupon.

$2/5 Campbell's Chunky Soups
$1.50/4 Campbell's Chunky Soups
$1/3 Campbell's Chunky Soups
$.50/2 Campbell's Chunky Soups

Step 2:

Head to your local QFC.

(10) Campbell's Chunky Soups (regular price $2.49, sale price $1.29)

Grand Total = $13.70
    - $3 Catalina remaining

I realize that 30 cans of soup might seem a little excessive for most people, but at $0.36 per can this would make an awesome donation to your local food bank.
