All of the above items should have cost me $197.72. I paid $42.41. I saved $155.31 or 79%!

I broke this up into 7 transactions so that I could use more doublers (you can only use three per transaction) but could have done it in less, as for one of them I didn't even use doublers. I just did my first two transactions as the General Mills promo and you have to break them up into separate sets of $20 in order to get two $5 cats.
