The $50.00 requirement is calculated on your pre-coupon bill. There is also a coupon that you can use to get a free box of Yehuda or Aviv 5 lb. Matzo when you spend $25.00 that looks like this:
Here is a scenario that may interest you:
Buy 16 Capri Sun 10-packs - $2.00 each
and 1 Kraft BBQ Sauce -$1.00
Total $33.00
Use 4 "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" Capri Sun coupons from the 3/18/12 Smart Source insert - Total $25.00
Get $7.00 Instant Savings when you spend $25.00 on specified items
Pay $18.00 out of pocket and have $33.00 credit towards your $50.00 total.
I have a few "freebie" coupons that I have been holding on to for a deal like this.
I plan to combine these items with the scenario above to reach a total of $50.00, get my free Matzoh and 300 gas points, and pay $18.00.
If you don't have any "freebie" coupons, remember that 55 cent Mentos gum coupons from the 3/25 Smart Source insert and the $1.00 off 2 Maruchan Yakisoba coupons from the 3/11/12 Smart Source insert make those items free!
