* UPDATE * Giveaway #5 - BeCentsAble Gift Certificate and $200 Worth of Coupons

The correct answer: the total of my shopping trip below is an OVERAGE of $8.28!

I paid $1.72 but also received a $5.00 Catalina towards my next purchase of holiday candy of $5.00 or more and a $5.00 Catalina towards my next purchase of $50.00 or more at Kmart. Remember, coupons/Catalinas are like cash, so that is why I included it in my total out of pocket. Since it was a little bit of a trick question, I selected a winner that was closest to the total AND I randomly selected another winner from all the entries submitted. Remember to take my live or online BeCentsAble workshops if you'd like to find out how to get fabulous savings like this for your own household! If you'd like the breakdown of what I paid for the items below, please leave a comment!

I love to find great deals and bargains, so when I go shopping, it's almost like a challenge to myself - how much can I buy for how little? Well, the shopping trip you see in the picture above is one I did this past week at Kmart (during their double coupon event). It was one of the best shopping trips I've had this year. I bought the following things:

- 4 packs of Nestle Tollhouse Cookies (break and bake)

- 3 bags of Wonka Mix It Up candy (12 oz. bags)

- 1 bag of Wonka Laffy Taffy candy (12 oz. bags)

- 4 bags of Hershey Kisses Milk Chocolate (12 oz. bags)

- 1 box of Kellogg's Special K Original cereal (12 oz. box)

- 4 Dry Idea Roll-On Antiperspirant

- 4 Kotex Longs Pantiliners (18-ct box)

- 2 Glade Soy candles (3 oz.)

- 3 packs of Post-It Sticky Notes

Total = 26 Items

The reader with the closest guess of my total out-of-pocket cost with tax (after discounts, coupons used, and coupons/Catalinas issued for future use) wins today's prize!

Good luck!
