What a great week Publix is having! The ad is full of MANY good savings!!! First, I got to shop by myself. That is such a rare treat for me. And it's so much faster and efficient! And second, everything that was on sale and I had a coupon for is something our family uses almost daily! So no wasted $$!
The loot:
Total before sales/coupons: $178.11
Coupons: $31.58
Sales: $67.51
Total out of pocket: $79.01
Savings: $99.09
I broke it down per item and I paid $1.19 PER ITEM!!!!!! That's pretty good. Soup, juice, pizza, pack of paper towels! That's what it broke down to for each individual product!
After Publix, I headed on over to Wallyworld to get some more things. I even ad matched and used a few coupons. And ended up spending $1.87 per item! So I did MUCH MUCH better at Publix. But sometimes, I just plain need things that (1)aren't on sale, (2)that I haven't stocked up on, and (3) that I don't have a coupon for.
I'm really going to be playing the grocery game lately. I'm really hoping to take on another store. But I may be shooting too high. We'll see.
I want to give a shout out to Sarah at Fiddledeedee for matching up the Publix advantage buys and coupons! That helped A LOT!
I hope everyone is enjoying this WONDERFUL weather - hopefully it won't go anywhere for a while! :-)
Added this afternoon:
I just realized that I TOTALLY forgot to use one of my $5 off coupons at Publix! Makes me SO mad! Oh well.
Such great deals! I need to shop but I do not feel inspired. I need to take advantage of some deals I see! ;)
ReplyDeletei SOOOOO wish we had Publix here!! but alas, i am reduced to shopping Kroger. I was also able to go shpping without my little helpers- SOOOO refreshing....and perfect timing i REALLY needed to stockup. i didn't save AS much as you but at kroger i was able to spend 88.25 and save 76.45! yipee!!!
ReplyDeleteWalmart wasn't as sucessful- however, formula and things not on sale are must have's sometimes!!!
Isn't shopping alone so much easier? It's amazing, really!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out! I'm glad you like the advantage buy post. Great job on your deals - you've got me excited about my Publix run tomorrow!
