Schnucks Super Double Coupons

So, yesterday, today and tomorrow Schnucks Markets have Super double coupons.

Before I tell you about my trip from this evening, I must first tell you about a CVS deal that ran back in October.
 If you coupon, I'm sure you remember it. They had a deal going where when you spent $30 in select P&G products, you got a $10 ECB back. This ran two weeks in a row, with a limit of one per card holder each week.

I happened to have been fortunate enough to have a LOT of coupons that worked with it, as I spent some Register Rewards at Walgreens for 5 or 6 Sunday papers the week the P&G insert was in there, plus the 2 I got at home...and a friend brought me a few more.
Almost my entire $30 P&G purchase was on Herbal Essences. They were on sale those weeks for $2.99, and I had the P&G coupon for a free conditioner or styler with shampoo purchase, making them $1.50 each after coupon.   
I had to buy 12 at a time, so total out of pocket was $18. Already a good deal....but then I got back a $10 ECB!
The next week, I did basically the same thing, only using my $10 ECB from the week before also, so it was about $8 pre-tax.
 If you figure the total minus the $10 ECB, this makes the Herbal Essences about 67 cents each.
But wait! There's more!
P&G also happened to be running a mail in rebate! $50 in P&G products got you a $15 gift card by mail, about 2 months later.
I got mine last week, which brings us to why I am telling you about the past CVS deal.
Tonight at Schnucks, I got groceries, specifically tailored to the super double coupon thing.
This is all stuff we will use, and probably in the very immediate future.
My total before coupons was $45.26.
After coupons, my total was $16.26. So I used my $15 gift card from my P&G rebate.
I paid $1.26 out of pocket. Here is what I got for $1.26 this evening:
