The pasta deals happened like this:
Smith's was having their 10 for $10 sale last week with the March Madness promotion (you got an extra $5 off when you did the 10 for $10 sale).
Their Ronzoni and Quick Cook Pasta was on sale from $1.50 to $0.99 then to $0.49 with the March Madness promotion.
On http://www.grocerysmarts.com/ they had a link for coupons (yes, PRINTABLE coupons) that gave you $1/2 the Ronzoni and Quick Cook pastas. The great thing about the link was that they gave you 4 coupons per print (because it for for 4 different types of noodles) and since you can print them all twice you got 8 coupons total. But remember because the coupons were for $1/2 you end up getting $0.50 off 16 boxes of pasta which came out to be FREE because of the March Madness promo!!!
Still with me?
Just in case you're not...
The pasta was originally $1.50 on sale to $0.99 (10 for $10 sale) on sale to $0.49 (March Madness promo).
I printed out coupons for $1 off 2 boxes of pasta. Which meant $0.50 off each box. Because of the sale plus the coupon the pasta came out to be FREE!!
Since we have 3 computers I printed out 24 coupons which gave me 48 boxes of pasta free. Plus I had some old $1/2 boxes of Quick Cook Pasta coupons that I used as well. The best part of this deal was since Ronzoni is owned by American Beauty Pasta I could use the Ronzoni pasta coupons for regular American Beauty spaghetti noodles. They were all out of Ronzoni so it worked out perfectly!!
REMEMBER: Just because you can print off the coupons does NOT mean you can photo copy the coupons to have more. That is extreamly illegal and because each coupon has a seperate number that links to your IPS address they could actually figure out who you are after you leave the store and press charges. I'm not saying they for sure will but better safe then sorry. Who wants to pay a fine or worse just for a few boxes of free pasta? Not me!

Thanks!! You are awesome. You had some great tips that i hadn't heard before. I would cut all the coupons out, put them in my binder, and be a crazy lady when I got to the store. I would see all the deals and say to myself "I swear i have a coupon for that!" It got a little overwhelming. I was also wondering what newspaper to get. Thanks!!
