I broke this down into two transactions. First one included the Cheerios and two Wholly Guacs to get me over the $10 pre-coupon (which is what really triggers the daily deal) and then two CC pizzas. I had a FREE Guac coupon from BlogHer2012, which gave me two for FREE!  There is also a deal on the freezer doors:  Buy one CC pizza and a 2L Fanta soda and get a second soda free.  I don’t care how many coupons you can find to bring the price down, you should have enough pop in the stockpile that paying for Fanta would strike you as ridiculous.  or Goddess can strike you.  either way…

Second transaction was just to see if I could get the $2.99 price on the same rewards card (I have an alternate card plan in place).  All that salsa was free after using the $1.50 mfr coupon in the 9/16 s (expires 10/21).  Ended up paying about $6 for the pizzas and tax.

Suggestions to hit the threshold include the Cheerios deal, clearance meat (there is a $3/$10 meat purchase store coupon in one of those Jewel booklets), the Wholly Salsa and/or McCormick spice cards (also free).  I would recommend scanning the pizzas last to make sure the price drops from $4.97 to $2.99 – I do not trust these new registers.
