Costco Bargains

I'm excited and anxiously awaiting a trip to Alaska in June with my daughters and grandchildren.  We will be taking a Disney cruise.  Nothing frugal there, but we ARE talking grandchildren.  :)

At the suggestion of our daughters, we went through Costco to get the best deal on our tickets.  That meant we had to first get a membership.

As part of the membership we received some coupons and cash back and recently we went to shop and take advantage of them.  Here is what we bought:

28 small packages of trail mix for the lake  using $8 coupon and costing $14.99 originally
8 lb pork loin using $8 coupon and costing $17.07 originally
12 Paper towels for free and costing $15.99 originally
200 Garbage bags using an $8 coupon and costing $14.99 originally
Tortilla chips for free and costing $4.59 originally
3 berry fruit mix using a $6 coupon and costing $8.99 originally
126 loads of Laundry detergent using a $8 coupon and costing $10.70 originally
Dish detergent for free and costing $7.99 originally

The original cost of these items was $95.40.
The coupons and a $20 cashback card saved us $89.56
All together we spent $5.82 out of pocket.
