An Average Publix Shopping Trip

Here is what all I bought on my last Publix run. Sorry, no breakdown. I'm a little short on time. I got diapers for less than $15 but that made my total a little higher than I wanted it to be. After coupons, some of my better deals were: frozen veggies were $0.75, Nature Valley Bars were $0.50 each, Penny Item was peanut butter, Dove deodorant was FREE after stacking a manufacturer & store coupon. I also had a $10 off coupon from Winn Dixie plus a few more. I ended up with a grand total of $44.28 before tax, with a savings of $39.05!!!!!

(Some of you may have noticed that I don't have usually have any meat purchases, but I usually stock up when it is on sale. I have a $0.50 off coupon, which doubles to $1 off of a pound of ground beef so I buy it by the pound when it is on sale & freeze it. You can't beat ground beef for less than $0.60 per pound!! We also buy steaks from the "Meat Man" which is MUUUCH cheaper when you buy in bulk. Plus he delivers!)

Coupon Clipping Saves How Much??

I went to CVS the other day & ended up saving $46.66! I spent only $19 before tax! Here is what all I got: (**pic to come**)

Now here is the good part! So you are wondering why I bought so much OTC medicines, right? Well, when you buy $20 in children's meds, you get $10 ExtraBucks!! So it is the same as spending $9.50 on all of it. Then I also got $5 ExtraBucks for spending $15 on candy, so Santa got the hookup already. It is safely packed away in the closet until it goes into the stockings!

I also had a $5 off Rite Aid coupon, since they take cempetitor's coupons, & also $19 in ExtraBucks from my last visit. Now I have $15 ExtraBucks for the next visit & also another $5 Rite Aid coupon.
