Okay, somebody's been reading the smart shopping blogs. I went to Publix this morning and several of the things I wanted to get were completely gone. ggrrr. It's a good thing we have more than one Publix close by so I can try another.
Here's how we did today:
8 Mueller's Whole Wheat penne pasta -- B1G1 $1.29 for 2
Used 8 $.55 printable coupons
Paid: $.10 each or $.76 total!
4 Wanchai Ferry frozen meals -- $7.99
Used 4 $1.50 manufacturer coupons
Used 4 $2 Publix coupons from the Yellow Advantage flyer
Paid: $4.49 each or $17.96
(Kind of a lot, I know, but I've been wanting to try these for a while. We'll have to make 2 meals to feed our whole family, which will make a dinner meal cost at least $9.00. Ouch. But as a treat for Mommy to have the convenience of the ready-made meal, it's worth it to me. PTM is coming up, after all!)
2 Buddig Honey Ham lunch meat -- on sale 2 for $4
Used 2 $1 printable coupons
Used 2 $1 Publix coupons from Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids
Paid: 2 for FREE!
BP Gas card -- $50
Used $10 coupon from the weekly ad
Paid: $40
Scotties tissues -- on sale $.99
Used $1 printable coupon for becoming a fan on Facebook
Total: FREE! plus $.01 overage!
Sundown vitamin B -- $3.99
Sundown calcium -- $3.99
Used $3 manufacturer's coupon
Used $6/2 Publix coupon from Green Advantage flyer
Paid: FREE! plus $1.02 overage!
2 Lance cracker multi-packs -- B1G1 $2.89 for 2
I must have done something wrong, because mine didn't ring up at B1G1 and I just now noticed. Maybe one of the items we got wasn't Lance? I'll have to check the pantry.
Used $1 printable from smartsource.com
Should have paid: $1.89 for 2
Paid: $4.98 for 2
9 assorted Hallmart cards -- $.99 each
Used 3 $2/3 tearpad coupons (good through 5/10)
Paid: $.33 each or $2.91 for all 9!
Total before coupons, but after store sales: $115.73
Total after coupons: $66.33!
Percent of decrease: 43%
Not as good as we'd normally like, but remember that we came away with $50 in BP gas! I'm going to store that away for vacation -- Hurray! We can drive to Disney without paying anything else out of pocket!
