Jewel deals that are practically free

The sale that was to spend $25 get $10 back has been changed due to a misprint in the Jewel flier. Now the ad is good for what it originally stated: spend $20 get back $10.

The catalina prints off shelf price, not sale price.

My planned scenarios (PS: I do all of these on one belt. I split the order with dividers. I also go when no one is around because this takes a few minutes and I don't want to annoy anyone.)

Transaction #1:
4 Wesson oil
Shelf price: $5.50 (x 4 = $22)
I pay sale price: $2.50 (x 4 = $10)
I get a $10 coupon
I pay the store tax only (these are basically FREE and I plan to donate to the food pantry)

Transaction #2:
11 Hunts snack puddings
Shelf price: $1.99 (x 11 = $21.89)I pay sale price: $1.00 (x 11 = $11) – the $10 coupon I just got from #1 = $1 for 11 puddings (these go straight to food pantry—I already have 13 packs at home)I get another $10 coupon

Transaction #3:
3 Orville Popcorns
1 32 oz Dannon yogurt
Shelf price: $20.52I pay sale price: $13.94 – the $10 coupon I just got from #2 = $3.94 for everything
I get another $10 coupon

Transaction #4:
12 Hunts diced tomatoes
I don’t have the shelf price but out of pocket, after the $10 from #3 = $2.50 for 12 cans
And I get another $10 coupon!!!
