Randalls run - Great clearance finds and a few other items!

I got word from a reader (thanks Kpaula) that the Randalls at Gessner and Westheimer was having their grand opening so my mom and I decided to make a day of shopping Saturday.  We went to the Sams Event I mentioned here and scored a free cookbook each and filled up on samples.
On our adventures, we went to a few stores just to scout out coupons and deals but the best we got was the deals at Randalls.

First off, the grand opening event on Saturday had Blue Bell ice cream for just $1.99 a half gallon (limit 2).  I was sure to print  my $1 coupons first making each half gallon just .99 each!  WOW! (not pictured because I didn't want to get them out of deep freeze, lol.
Then, at several demo tables, they had samples of store brand products and coupons!  One of the coupons was for $1 off any O Organic, Eating Right or Safeway Select item.  (look in the pharmacy area for these as that is where they tend to have these coupons when they put them out in regular stores) The Eating Right baby carrots were $1 so FREE after coupon!


The Comet is on sale right now for $1 so only .25 when they triple the .25 off coupon found here.

Mentos gum is on sale for $1, so free with the .35 insert 3-20 SS tripled.

Then, scouting out the clearance rack I saw all these Kelloggs Special K cereal with 50% stickers.  The only thing wrong with them is that fact that the boxes are all bagged up.  Well, Special K is one of the participating cereals in the buy 4 get $4 off instantly sale in the Randalls flyer.  Since the $4 does not come off until AFTER the 50% off is scanned, I got ever single box for FREE.
12 Special K $2.99 - $1.50 for 50% sticker - $1 for promo -$1/2 insert 3-6 RP  = -.12

I also found the Garnier gel with 50% stickers.  They were $2.09 so only .04 after discount and coupon:
17 Garnier gel $2.09 - $1.05 for 50% sticker - $1 insert 3-6 RP = .68

And, also not pictured because they are out in my freezer.  The Marie Callender 2 serving Pot pies were $1.50 so FREE with the Safeway frozen food booklet coupons (if you have not found these books yet, you probably won't but it wouldn't hurt to ask customer service as they might still have some).   On this post here, I have a picture of the smaller pot pies. 

*For the new readers to my blog, at Randalls (Tom Thumb, Safeway) I ALWAYS hit the clearance rack first.  I can usually find a hidden gem or two, especially on Wednesday when the new add comes out.  The 50% off tags will take 50% off the ring up price.  The ring up price is NOT always what is reflected on the tag.  They put the tag on at the current price, and then if that item goes on sale in the following week, it will ring up sale price and then 50%, making it sometimes lower than what everyone else thinks its gonna be.
I hit clearance, put a few of the items I am interested in into my cart and then go find the regular shelf spot for the item to check pricing.  I have gotten many an item free of for a small profit even doing this :)
