Publix, 7/3 -- 65.7% savings


Not the best trip today. I should have broken my purchase into two transactions. I could have used another $4/$20 coupon and made my savings 70.2%. Oh, well. My husband is happy if I save at least 50%. Thank you Buy-One-Get-One-Free deals for making it easier to please him in this area. :)

Here's what I got:

2 Breakstone sour cream -- 2 for $1.89
Used $.55 printable coupon
Paid: $1.34 for both, or $.67 each!

2 Crystal Farms Bettern n Eggs -- 2 for $5.00
Used B1G1 coupon from Yellow Advantage Flier
Used $1 from Smart Savings booklet
Paid: $1.50 for both, or $.75 each!

2 Yoplait Fiber One yogurt 4-packs -- 2 for $2.50
Used 2 $.50 coupons from ??
Paid: $1.50 for both, or $.75 each!

4 Carvel ice cream cakes -- 2 for $9.99

1 bundle fresh parsley -- $1.19
no coupon
Paid: $1.19

2 Chinet napkins -- $2.15 each (reported by various blogs to be B1G1. Was not at University/9 Mile)
Used 2 $1 printable coupons
Paid: $2.30 for both, or $1.15 each!

Used $4/$20 CVS coupon received by email.

Total paid: $30.59
Total saved: $58.67
Percent savings: 65.7%

To recreate this trip, but even better:

1. Don't get the Chinet napkins unless you need napkins. This isn't the best price.
2. Use 2 of the Breakstone coupons. I couldn't get my second one to print before my trip on Wednesday. When I turned the printer on yesterday, it just printed right out. Print them both in one sitting and get an even better deal on sour cream.
3. Break into 2 transactions and use 2 $/$ coupons. There was a $5 off $50 in the mail recently for Apple Market; use it at Pubix instead. Or use 2 CVS Extra Care Bucks. Or whatever you have to do to get more money off!
