I made one trip to HEB earlier in the week (Tuesday I think), but forgot to take pictures and lost my receipt! :( I got a bunch of stuff, mainly snacks for the kiddos, but I did pick up 8 boxes of Cheerios for dirt cheap! So, I went back today to get some more...lucky charms and wheat chex this time though. :) Also picked up some other things I needed, bread and what not. I made sure that I had enough box top items to get my $5 catalinas to print (I got 2 this trip!) The deal is buy 10 box top for education items, get a $5 catalina for your next shopping order. I bought all this in one transaction tonight - I had all the kids with me and didn't feel like trying to keep two transactions straight. Here's the pics of what I got, with a list to follow:

7 boxes Lucky Charms

1 box Chocolate Lucky Charms (Alex HAD to have a box of the chocoalte kind)
4 boxes Wheat Chex
4 boxes Fruit Roll Ups
4 boxes Fruit Gushers (fruit snacks)
2 loaves of bread
2 Ken's salad dressing
2 24 count cheese slices
2 40 oz bags of frozen chicken
1 Fast fixins breaded chicken patties
1 bag potato chips
1 Helluva good buffalo sour cream dip

Total before coupons: $83.58
Total after coupons and tax: $48.08
Total savings of $35.50 or 42%
Received $10 in catalinas
