Why did I get $7.61 when I spent only $55.98 total you ask? Well, first of all it's very important to go through self checkout. The computer is set up so you scan all your items and when you are done it asks if you want 10% off or 10 X the air miles. Then it asks for your coupons! Some people have had success doing this with the cashiers at the regular tills, but I never have.
This is actually 2 different bills combined. I did one for just one pack of the Dad's(I need a separate receipt for Checkout 51) and 2 cheeses, (there is a limit of 2 per card). So one bill was $11.98 and I did not get 10% off. My other bill I ended up paying $44 out of pocket after Checkout 51 and MIR.

Superstore had this Maple Leaf bacon on clearance! Plus there were $1 off introductory coupons stuck on them! Plus, I had a $2 off coupon from Maple Leaf!
$5.27-$1.58-$1-$2=.69!!!
The other package was $2.69.

Costco still has the pork on this week! This one was $13.62-$5=$8.62
The Ecos laundry detergent is on for $9.49. My sister in law loves it so I thought we would try it.

Save On has buy 5 Kraft products get $5 off. The coupon is in this week's flyer.The salad dressings are $2.50 and the cream cheese is $3.50 so $14.50-$5=$9.50 for these 5 Kraft Products. The Country Harvest are Checkout 51 offers. They are $2.50 less .75 from Check out 51 making them $1.75 a loaf! I just learned that starting tomorrow Checkout 51 has $1 off Country Harvest 100% loaves, so you could get them for $1.50!

If you want in on this deal you'll have to shop today or tomorrow! Until Nov 16 spend  $20  on selected products at Safeway and get a $10 Safeway card. We needed chips. :)
Update: Finally received this February 6, 2013. Came with a letter from Dare saying here is your $15 gift card!?

This is the form you will need(click on it to enlarge it). You need to get it from customer service.

This was my Safeway shop. (not pictured here is the large pizza that was a Facebook offer from Safeway).Almost all the items on the bench were 50% off. The Oasis juice was  $3.50, I had a coupon for .75 as well as Checkout 51 has a $2 off, so it's .75. The drops were buy one get one free and there are $2 off coupons out there. There is an airmiles promo on the chips so I got a total of 41 airmiles. The total for everything here was $40.69-$10(Pepsico MIR)=$30.69.

This is another fun MIR! Try Healthy Harvest Pasta Sauce Free! Look for these sauces with the tags TRY ME FREE, on them. I found them at Safeway. There is a limit of 3 redemptions per household. Products must be purchased between Nov 1 and June 30, 2013.  I mailed this in Nov 15 and received the full $11.49 on Dec 27.

Costco has a few good deals. Miracle whip is $3.69 for 1.77L.
Chipit chocolate chips are $9.89 for 2.4Kg!
3 packs of sausages, 1.5Kg are $10.99.

Save On Foods has Kraft coupons for buy 5 get $5 off. Their crackers are 2/$5(you can buy just  one for $2.50). So 5 boxes for $7.50!
You have to get the coupons from customer service and I think it ends this weekend with the end of the flyer.

At Walmart they have these Cheerios with a coupon for free yogurt. There are $1 off coupons out there.
