How???

1.  Used southernsavers.com and couponmom.com

to find coupon match-ups to items already on sale

(especially "buy one, get one free").

2.  Found the coupons online or in my stash for each item.

Was able to stack manufacturer and store coupons for most items.

3.  Made a list using couponmom.com and printed it off.

4.  Purchased the items in 2 separate transactions on 2 different days.

5.  Used the $5 off a purchase of $30 found

in the free Wed paper for both transactions.

6.  Used the Publix $5 of purchase of 20 General Mills items

found online for both transactions.

I did not run into any snags except on the second transaction.

The cashier did not allow me to use the $5 of 20 items with

Publix store coupons on any of those items.  I didn't realize

I was using 2 store coupons by doing that.  ; )  I did use a

couple of manufacturer coupons though.
