Valentine's M & M's at Smiths

Valentine's M & Ms are part of the Mega Event going on at Smiths (buy 10 participating items and get $5 off instantly.) M&Ms are $2.79, $2.29 after the discount. M&Ms mars also have a catalina going on until 2/14/11 when you buy $15 worth of M&Ms mars, you get a $5 Catalina good for a future purchase. (These expire in 2 weeks and can be used on most anything at that grocery store. I treat these like cash because I know I will buy groceries within the next 2 weeks. I often spend them to buy my basics like milk.) (If you only spend $10, you will get a $3 catalina.)

Then there are a couple coupons that can be used for the M&Ms RP 1/23 $1.50/2, RP 1/30 $1/2. (These are from the coupon inserts that I receive in the mail. The 1/23 came to my house the Wednesday before January 23rd.) You can also print coupons here and here.

So here is the deal: I could only get the Milk chocolate to work with for the catalina.

Buy 6 bags of Valentine's M&Ms $2.79/$2.29 total $16.74/$13.74
Use 3 coupons $1/2 total $3 (even more with the $1.50/2 coupons.)
Buy 4 other Mega Event items
Receive $5 catalina
13.74 - $3 coupons - $5 cantalina = $5.74 for 6 bags of Valentine's M&Ms (Even better with $1.50/2 coupons.)

We love M & Ms at our house, so this was a great deal for us. If I VT you or send you a Valentine's don't think of the great deal I got on the M&Ms, just think about the Love that went into it. Ha ha.
