Weekly Roundup #26 - July 7 to 13, 2013

I've been slowly getting back into coupon gear after returning from our vacation.  Last week I cobbled together free coupons for some things and combined them with my $5.00 Food Lion coupon to reach $40.00 and earn my first ticket for the Shell Gas Card promo. After coupons, I only paid $23.76!  I also did the Giant cereal cup deal for 800 points and got some cheap items at Harris Teeter.
