Excuse the mud on the floor - it's been a wet week!

I was really looking forward this weeks trip. I waited until the last minute to plan it, though, and was a bit stressed because I had misplaced my Keebler coupons. In my rush to get everything ready and planned I completely forgot to work in the 6 free greeting cards I was supposed to pick up. Oh well. I'll just have to go back for them.

HEB Trip - 11/12/11 - Breakfast and Pie with 57% savings! Similac, Pyrex, Jimmy Dean + more!

I rarely shop at HEB so this might actually be my first time sharing a trip! Thanks to Lauren at Fort Hood Savers for coming to AFC and sharing these great deals! If you shop at HEB frequently I highly recommend following the Fort Hood Savers blog - she posts so many great HEB deals!

Most of these coupons were found in-store at HEB and are usually hanging right by the products - so no clipping or printing coupons!

This trip was a bit involved so I'm going to post the coupons used underneath the individual products to avoid confusion. Also, you'll notice sometimes the coupon was for more than the amount - that's because the cashier manually entered the coupon for the value on the HEB coupon instead of the actual price of the product.

Breakfast Deal

2 DeWafellbakkers Frozen Pancakes @ $2.58 each
2 HEB Premium Orange Juice @ $2.50 each
- $2.50 Free HEB OJ wyb DeWafellbakkers Frozen Pancakes x 2
