Giant Eagle trips (average of 68.65% savings)

I made 2 trips to Giant Eagle this week (one for the sale about to end and then one for the new sale)
All prices listed are after sales and Qs. I've included available IPs.

Trip #1:
2 Pillsbury Toaster Strudel- $1.45 each $.55/2 IP
4 Bags of Goldfish- $.50 each $.75/1 IP
4 pk YoCrunch 100 cal yogurt- $.50
Marcal Facial Tissues- FREE
9 Contadina Tomato Sauce- FREE $.75/3 IP (The price of the small tomato sauce is $.48 every day, so you can do this deal any time. I've got a ton of these Qs so I am using a few each week, since the Qs don't expire until the end of June)
Kashi Heart-to-Heart cereal- FREE
Hot Dog buns- $.89
Fancy Feast appetizer tray- FREE
1 gal milk- $2.38
2 pkg mushrooms- $.99 each
4 Cheeze Its- $1 each $.75/1 IP
Hungry Jack pancake mix- $2.50 (I was mad that I had to buy this w/o a Q, but I needed something to get me over the cusp to get an OYNO Q)
4 Smuckers Jelly- $1.63 each
Jif Honey Peanut Butter (YUM!)- $1.50
1 green pepper- $.92
apples- $2.40
bananas- $1.43
-$4 OYNO Q
-$3 OYNO Q

Cost before Qs and sales: $61.37
My OOP: $23.49, plus I earned $3 and $1 OYNO
Total savings: $37.88 (61.72%)

Trip #2:
I did 6 transactions today. Three of those transactions were on the self checkout lane, because apparently the coupon machines there only, are spitting out extra $1.50/3 Tombstone pizza Qs, which I was stocking up on. I hate self checkouts with a passion, though, so I bought the pizzas first, took them out to the truck and then came back in for the rest of my shopping. SCO and Kelly F do NOT get along!! They had to void my first order and I moved to a different lane, since the coupon printer was low on ink, and I was going to be getting a whole bunch of Qs from it.

Transaction #1:
6 Tombstone pizzas- $2.25 each
-$3 OYNO Q

Cost before Qs and sales: $30
My OOP: $10.50, plus I earned $4 and $4 OYNO
Total savings: $19.50 (65%)

Transaction #2 & #3:
6 Tombstone pizzas- $2.25
-$4 OYNO Q
