Shopper's kickoff - two deals to keep in mind

On page 2 of the Shopper's ad,
there is an intriguing proposition:

If you buy 10 of any of the listed products, you will get a coupon for $10 off your next Shopper's Food Warehouse shopping visit. That's 2-3 gallons of milk! (Or, if you do another run this week with coupons, at least $30 of food! ;-p)
Here are the products that qualify (you can also click the pic above for a closer look):

You maximum savings plan on this is to buy anything that discounts your product under a dollar - that way you are getting "paid" to pick up these products! And really, as long as your total for the 10 items after coupons is less than $10, you've gotten them free.

Example transaction, even if you only have one of each coupon:

Caramel Chex Mix, $0.79 after coupon
Caramel Chex Mix, $0.79 after other paper insert coupon
Betty Crocker Frosting, just $0.09 after coupon
Betty Crocker Warm Delights, just $0.45 after coupon
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, $1.34 after $0.35 01/25 SS coupon
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, $1.59 after $0.30 02/08 General Mills coupon
Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks, $0.83 after coupon
2 Progresso soups, $2.50 after $0.50/2 coupon ($1.25 each)
Nature Valley Granola Bars, $1.49 after coupon

Total: $9.87, and walk out the door with your $10.00 of future purchase coupon.

Did you just 'profit' $0.13? Why, yes, yes you did.

Also: There is free Colgate! Check the back of your Shopper's ad for a $1 off manufacturer coupon. It says $0.99 after coupon, but after the $1 off doubles, it should be free. If you see the ads on your way in, grab 3 more since you can use 4 coupons for the same items in one transaction.
