How I used my Dollar Doublers!

I did really well today. My cashier said that it's $15 minimum before the doublers so you'll have an out of pocket around $8ish bucks if you plan well {this may vary store-to-store, I'm really not sure!} & they let me use my catalinas as "cash" and not coupons, so I could get my transaction down even lower. Here is how it played out;

- (3) Doublers = $3.00 for 9

Received $3 Catalina

4 YoCrunch; 10/$6

- (1) $1.00/4 Q

- (1) Doublers = $.40 for 4
