Giant Deal Scenario for week of 1/08 - 01/14

Starting tomorrow, 01/08, Giant is having a catalina promotion where if you buy $15.00 in Conagra products you will get a $5.00 cat on checkout. Here's a scenario I worked out to take advantage of this deal. You will want to print the coupons out now, as they probably won't last very long. As always, if you see a mistake in my math (which is ALWAYS a possibility - I'm a math midget, remember?), please let me know. Or if you have another scenario that works better, please share!

Transaction #1
Buy 5 Healthy Choice meals $10.00
Buy 2 Marie Callendar Pasta Al Dente meals $4.00

Total $15.00

Use (1) 5.00/5 Healthy Choice coupon
Use (2) .75/1 Marie Callendar Pasta Al Dente coupons

12 frozen meals and a can of Hunt's tomato product for $7.00 isn't bad - this works out to about .53 for each item.
