My Walmart Grocery Shopping Trip

I went to Walmart today. I thought I did really good for my first big grocery experience with coupons. I had two sets of the coupons from the All You magazine for free food so I decided to do this in two orders because those are confusing for cashiers. So, here's what I got.

1st Transaction
3 EZ Grip Johnson Buddies soaps-$.97 (after coupons I got these FREE)
5.57 lbs Bananas-$2.67
4 Yoplait light yogurts- $.58 each and I had a $1.00 off 4 coupon
Bread- $1.97
2 Gogurt-$2.43 each and used $1.00 off 2 coupon
2 Malt o Meal Cereal- $1.00 each and I used two $1.00 off coupons so both boxes were free.
2 Hormel Turkey Chili- $1.52 each and I used $.55 off two coupon (from a Family Circle Issue)

4/6pks Sunny D- $2.00 each and I used two $.55 off 2 coupons(from Aug All You Mag)
Just Bunches Cereal-$2.50 and I used $2.00 off coupon, so I paid $.50 for this!
