Feeling Double Crossed Without Double Coupons? Try this...

So as we know Fry's has deeply hurt our feelings and our wallets by ending the double coupons in the greater Tucson area.  I am more intensely scoping out deals elsewhere now, but decided to try my hand at this weeks' Mega event.  For those of you not familiar with a Mega you get a bonus $5 off WYB (when you buy) any 10 participating items. I realize that I seldom take the time to do a "play-by-play" on the shopping trips, but given the recent circumstances I would like to share this as an example.  Here's how I did...
