First Time Bragger, Long Time Viewer

I've never posted anything on the brag section because it seems that there are those that like to pounce and tear a new one into the OP - so, hopefully that won't be the case...

Save On Foods recently had a sale of the food for $11.99 for the 2.7 kg bag of Purina One Smart Blends - Lamb & Rice (picky dog when it comes to food). I went in on the 15% off Tuesday and got a raincheck because their shelves were cleared of the product.

Through vigerous trading (thank you to those that traded!), I managed to secure all the coupons I needed for my stacks. I had plently of the $2.50 ones, someone gave me a bunch of the $4.00 ones (I ran out of the ones I found this summer) and I traded hard for the $5.00 ones from save.ca. All in all, I managed to get 18 of the $5.00 coupons. So I was able to stack 18 bags of Dog Food for $11.99 plus 15% off!

Here's the math:
18 x $11.99 = $215.82
18 x $11.50 = $207.00
$215.82 - $207.00 = $8.82
$8.82 - $1.32 (15% off) = $7.50

So, I paid $7.50 for 18 bags of Dog Food! 48.6 kgs of food for $7.50 equals to be $0.15 a kilogram! How awesome is that? Of course, I had to pay the GST on the full price of the food - so my GST portion equaled to $10.79 for a grand total of $18.29. So, a little over a $1 a bag.

So, Wyatt... how about leaving Big B's sleepers, wash cloths and my socks be? You're good to go for a few months!

That is fabulous my dog likes this food too. I wish I had a save on close to me.

Great brag!! (also a great wall of diapers you have) A+++

Wow! Great job!

I'm pretty new to all this--why do you have to pay the tax on the full amount?

[Pinkflowergirl86]

@bananarama - As I understand it, coupons are considered currency - so, I were to hand them over $11.50 cash instead of coupons, I'd still have to pay the full amount of tax of the $11.99 Hopefully that makes sense?

@EdmontonGal - Thanks! I love my diaper wall! haha
My story behind that one is here:
